Chapter 406

Kylie grinned. “Look at your sister. She’s busy every single day, always caught up in surgeries. How could she possibly have that much free time?”
Cameron nodded. “Exactly. Right now, her priority is the company, not herself. Once she helps the design team level up and the clothes start getting noticed, people will love them. Then the profits will just follow.”
Mr. Norwood joined in. “That’s true. If Greenward Power’s designers manage to win something at the international competition, it’ll put the company on the map. Everyone will know their designers are internationally recognized.” He had to admit, Lydia’s decision to let the design team compete was a smart move.
Lucinda just rolled her eyes in her mind.
“But… from what I’ve heard, Greenward Power’s designers are just average. If they don’t win anything at an international event, isn’t that just She didn’t finish the sentence, but everyone got the hint.
It would be mbarrassing.
Kylie didn’t agree. “Every designer has to go through a ton of setbacks before making it big. Even if they don’t win, getting to see all those talented people from around the world is a rare learning experience.”
Cameron was just as enthusiastic. “Exactly. I heard the founder of LYLX will be there this time. If Miss L gives them any advice, their design skills could skyrocket.” He sounded so excited, like he was the one about to compete.
Lucinda suddenly smiled. “My sister claims her design skills are just as good as Miss L’s. I wonder if she’ll get to talk and learn with her.”
Cameron just laughed. “Lucinda, don’t you get it? Your sister is a genius hiding in plain sight. She’s

could@xpect from someone her age. Even Garrett admits his medical skills can’t compare. She won all those academic awards back when she was just six. If she says her design skills are on par with Miss L, I believe her. She’s just that good.”
Lucinda felt like she was about to cry out of sheer frustration. Was Lydia really that amazing? What about her? She wasn’t so bad herself. She had scored 735 on her finals and was the national piano champion, about to compete internationally. Why did no one ever praise her?
Ever since Lydia came back, all anyone saw was Lydia. No matter what she did, Lydia always did it better. She wasn’t even a good.
designer, but everyone still bet
her ridiculous claim that she was on Miss L’s level. Lucinda couldn’t understand what her parents were thinking, buying into such nonsense. Even her grandfather had started blindly going along with it.
She couldn’t wait to see Lydia fall flat on her face. As for those Greenward Power designers, they were about to get completely destroyed by the real geniuses at the competition.
Off to the side, Grace noticed Lucinda’s sour mood. She quickly stepped over with the teapot, topping off everyone’s cups as she said meaningfully, “If Lydia’s really as talented as Miss L, then O Greenward Power could totally become as famous as LYLX. It could
go global and bring in tons of
clients.”

If Lydia loved to brag, they might as well hype her up even more. The higher she climbed, the harder she’d fall when reality hit.
Tina, not wanting to be left out, jumped in to help with the cups. “Grace is right. With Lydia’s talent, she’s bound to become someone as legendary as Miss L.”
Grace was so angry she nearly spilled boiling water on Tina’s face. If Mr. Norwood and Mrs. Norwood hadn’t been home lately, she would’ve thrown Tina out of the Norwood house ages ago. The nerve of her, acting like she could walk all over Grace. Had she been given too much slack?
