Chapter 1108:
The crowd absorbed her words, their expressions contemplative. Many couldnât help but glance at Abramâs white high heels, their minds slowly connecting the dots to the awkwardness of the situation.
âIâm actually quite relieved that Abram got this detail wrong,â Allison added, a faint smile playing on her lips. She gestured toward the wings on the high heels. âThese 32 layers of feathers represent the classic 32 turns of the black swan. It was a personal touch. This was my little secret back then. Clearly, Abram doesnât know about it.â
Abramâs forehead glistened with cold sweat as he listened to Allisonâs words. Impossibleâ¦
Well, even if the detail was incorrect, it was his design now. He could reinterpret it however he wanted.
Seeing things taking a turn for the worse, Melany narrowed her eyes and probed, âBut Allison⦠You still havenât explained the circle of feathers. Surely, youâre not going to claim it was just a random design?â
Upon hearing this, Abram turned to Allison with a cold snort. âYou canât explain the circle of feathers either, can you? After all that talk, itâs just a well-spun tale.â
His tone dripped with condescension as he tried to frame Allisonâs remarks as nothing more than fiction.

Allisonâs eyes appeared clear yet piercing, like cold amber glinting under a sharp light.
âThe truth is, I added this circle of feathers later. When I first designed it, I didnât fully understand the black swan.â Allison picked up the high heel and walked over to Abram. âLater, I came to learn that the black swan symbolizes deception and betrayal. It serves as a test of true love, a touchstone for the white swanâs purity and devotion. This circle of feathers doesnât represent beauty. It symbolizes the thorny tangle of deception and betrayal. Thatâs also why these shoes were never meant to be worn. Back then, I didnât want the black swan to dance in my life.â
Standing over Abram, she exuded an undeniable sense of authority that seemed to shrink him in comparison. Her tone was calm but firm, like a lecturer delivering an irrefutable truth. The others in the room, unable to resist her logic, nodded in agreement.
âI have to say, this is the complete design concept. A design that stands out and is impossible to forget.â
âIf this is just a story, then Ms. Clarkeâs explanation fits the shoe design better than anything Abram has said,â one audience member remarked.
âRegardless of how old Ms. Clarke was at the time, itâs clear she was already an extraordinary creator,â another chimed in.
Fabian, perceptive as ever, quickly picked up on the inconsistencies in Abramâs demeanor. On the other hand, Allisonâs calm and measured presence suggested that she was anything but unprepared and that she was ready to defend her work.
