Chapter 408
When Love Comes Late
Zola collapsed on the floor, with her hands hanging on her sides.
She didnât even have the strength to clench her fists.
She knew clearly that Slaterâs words made her could no longer work in the design industry in the future.
Zola glared at Stella.
She clenched her fists and, with great effort, rose from the floor.
To the onlookers, she feigned a calm exit.
However, on her way out, she stumbled and nearly fell.
Ridiculous laughter echoed behind her.
Refusing to be deterred, Zola clenched her fists and quickened her pace until she disappeared from the competition altogether.
Stella watched her retreat coldly, her demeanor unflinching.
If Matthew didnât prepare in advance to prove her innocence today, she would be laughed at.
Zola, in her eyes, deserved no sympathy.

Stella couldnât help but marvel at the stark contrast before her, her gratitude swelling.
She knew that all of this had been made possible thanks to Matthew.
Her gaze shifted to him once more.
Matthew had returned to his seat, seemingly unperturbed by the recent turmoil.
Stella was deeply moved by his unwavering support.
After all of the models displayed the dresses, the competition was now entering its decisive phase-the scoring.
After the recent scandal, the judges took their time to evaluate each ensemble.
Stella, Flossie, and the other contestants stood beneath the stage, their anxiety palpable.
Flossie squeezed Stellaâs hand, offering silent comfort amidst the mounting pressure.
Stella smiled back at her, her heart still racing.
