Back in Genecity, Rickard was rather anxious.
After settling down some time ago, Rickard sent Renfrew back to kindergarten to continue his classes
as per what Hesper wanted, but another problem emerged very soon.
“Everyone’s parents will be there.”
After all this while, Renfrew had become more courageous when facing Rickard. He was currently
sitting on his little stool and complaining sternly. “Sports day is going to be held on the weekend, and
mommy is participating in the competition and can’t be there with me. So, if you’re not going to attend
the event either, no one will care about me.
“If that’s the case, I’ll be so lonely and so sad, I’ll cry through the whole day and finally die of sadness.”
Renfrew sighed. The statement indeed consisted of a handful of exaggerations, but Rickard could not
help but feel a little helpless.
“It actually took a lot of hard work for Renfrew to be able to blend in with the other children in
kindergarten like a normal child. Now that there’s such an activity in the kindergarten, it’s an even
better opportunity for Renfrew to join the other children in some games too.”
“Okay, I’ll come.”
It was not that Rickard did not want to go to the sports day with Renfrew, but he had never gone
through such an event, so he did not know how to tackle these problems with Renfrew.
For him, stepping into the unknown was equivalent to making mistakes, but the upbringing that he had
received since he was a kid told him that he must never make mistakes. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“Then that’s a pinky promise.” Renfrew stood up and locked his pinky with Rickard’s. “Thank you,
Daddy!”
Back in the competition, the preliminary round had an individual assignment. Participants were to
complete a design piece that qualified for the competition as quickly as possible.
Hesper had been tested for her hands-on capability many times back in college, so this task was too
simple for her. On the other hand, Celine had also gone through too many tournaments, so completing
a design quickly was as easy as ABC for her.
The first round had only managed to eliminate some students who had yet to graduate and had no
practical experience.
Michelle was also a little surprised when she saw Hesper’s skillful movements-
Originally, she thought that Hesper had not been doing anything related to fashion design for so many
years, and she had only been studying the theories and knowledge that they studied back when they
were both in college, so her practical skills must be a lot weaker than her theory, but the reality
instantly
smacked her in the face.
Hesper did better than most people.
The whole game was broadcasted live, and Ernest and Wendy watched the show with great joy.
“I knew it. The clothes that the young lady sewed when she was still a kid already looked great, so this
must be a piece of cake for her.” Wendy recalled that when Hesper first arrived at the Duvals’
residence, she was reluctant to throw away her clothes even when they were already extremely old, so
she would sew them herself, covering the worn-out spots with a few small flowers. It was obvious that
she had not learned how to do it before that, but those patterns still looked true to life.
understand that Grandpa did so to show me his support. I also understand that the Duvals don’t care
about such a small amount of money. Thus, I’ll accept the tip this time, but I won’t allow it to happen
again.
The news related to Hesper naturally made its way into Rickard’s ear. When he saw that Ernest had
spent so much money with his credit card, he felt that something had gone wrong, but he did not
expect the money to be directed to Heaper.
This amount of money was really nothing to him, so Rickard did not plan to talk to his grandfather about
this matter. After all, he only wanted to show his care and support for Hesper in his own way.
After the first round, originally, there wasn’t supposed to be much time for the contestants to rest.
However, the live broadcast format received extremely strong and positive responses from the fans,
and many audiences and spectators also began to pay attention to the tournament. So after some
discussions, the competition that was originally supposed to last a month was changed into an
episode- based match to attract more attention over time.
Before leaving the venue, Hesper helped Celine export all the photos on her cell phone onto her
personal phone, then bid her goodbye temporarily.
At the same time, the contestants’ personal short interviews that had been filmed before the
competition started also aired through multiple media and online platforms amidst the audiences’
demands.

Ernest was also exhilarated. “Look at her score; It’s so high. She’s truly amazing.”
Ernest put on his reading glasses, saw the bouquet of flowers and hearts that were flashing on the
bottom of the screen, and frowned. “What are all these sticker-looking things? Why are they flashing all
the time?”
Wendy leaned over. After all, she was a little younger than Ernest. When she saw the words that
appeared together with the emojis, everything just connected in her mind. “It should be a tipping
system. Viewers can tip this live broadcast with some real cash.”
As soon as Wendy finished speaking, another firework salute exploded in the middle of the screen, and
a written message appeared with it: “Michelle is the best. I’ll always support you, Misha!!!”
“Is this Michelle, Michelle Sullivan? The girl who’s on bad terms with Hesper?” Ernest became upset
when he saw so many tips being directed at Michelle. “I think Hesper’s design looks much better than
hers. I want to be able to tip too.”
When Yann was dragged into the room by the two elderly to watch the live broadcast again, she was
already feeling a little helpless.
Ernest then started very modestly asking her to help him out. “I want to tip Hesper. I want to be able to
do … What is it that you youngsters call it?… Virtual tipping? However, the two of us don’t understand
this whole tipping process, so I want you to help me take a look.”
“Give her presents?”
