Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 255

Before long, I received an official invitation from the organizers. All the finalists were invited to attend, and we could even bring family members.

Elsa wanted us all to witness her moment of triumph. However, my parents couldn't make it as they had to leave the country on short notice. I didn't refuse. I accepted right away.

The only problem was having both Shirley and Jane appear at the same event without anyone noticing the connection.

After cracking that near-impossible puzzle, an unfamiliar number lit up my phone. I picked up, only to hear Liliana's voice on the other end. "Ms. Brown, I've thought it over. I'm willing to help you."

…

On the night of the banquet, I arrived in a gown of my own design, my face mostly concealed by an intricate mask that covered two-thirds of it. Tonight, I was Shirley, the designer.

Elsa had already arrived.

As the runner-up, she was surrounded by people showering her with praise. Jack stood proudly behind her, looking smug.

The moment I stepped in, the energy in the room shifted. After all, I was the only one wearing a mask, exuding an air of mystery.

"Who just walked in? Why are they so wrapped up like that?"

"With that temperament? She's definitely someone important. She doesn't look like a plus-one, though."

Then, someone noticed the name tag pinned to my chest.

A collective gasp swept through the crowd.

"Oh my gosh! That's Shirley, the famous designer! She actually came!"

"I thought she just joined the competition for fun, like some pro strolling into a newbie arena. I never expected her to show up in person!"

"So mysterious! I was hoping to finally see what she looks like, but she went and masked up!"

All eyes turned to me. Even those who had been eagerly chatting with Elsa lost interest in her.
