Chapter 1321
Watching Jacob get handcuffed by several people, Beverly finally snapped out of her daze and rushed forward, her face pale. “Did you guys get something twisted? You’re talking about poisoning and deliberately causing car accidents, but you have no proof…”
“Please do not interfere with our official duties! We would not randomly arrest people without solid evidence.”
An official pushed Beverly aside and said sternly.
Beverly shook her head, looking at Jacob with hopeful eyes. “Jacob, is there some kind of misunderstanding? You need to explain this to them…”
However, before she could finish, someone stepped in front of her. “Miss Beverly, regarding the issue of Mr. Jacob buying the theme from the organizers, we might need your testimony. We hope you could come with us…”
Beverly’s knees buckled, she staggered back a step, her face ghostly white. “I don’t know. I don’t know anything. What you’re talking about?” She shook her head in denial, looking genuinely clueless.
The official pursed his lips, speaking coldly, “Miss Beverly, can you tell us when Mr. Jacob started designed your bridal style?”
“Since… Beverly thought for a moment, then her voice trailed off, her face showing a look of disbelief as she turned to look at Jacob.
When did it start? Thinking about it, it was before they had announced their engagement…
If Jacob really did buy the competition questions in advance, then his sudden proposal to her and their public engagement announcement were for the sake of this competition?
Their wedding was approaching, and the competition theme was “Bridal.” If he won the three–peat, followed by their wedding, the hype would definitely last a long time in their society, having a significant impact on his career…
Did Jacob actually plan their marriage into all of this?
Beverly’s head was buzzing, and she suddenly felt cold. What kind of man had she chosen?
Poisoning Miles‘ makeup, causing a car accident to harm Miles‘ model, and even bribing the organizers to buy the theme. All these things were simply unacceptable.
Even more depressing was the fact that even with all his preparations and buying the theme in advance, Jacob still couldn’t beat Miles.
Beverly swayed slightly, her gaze involuntarily finding Miles. When she saw his calm eyes, her heart seemed to be pierced a little.
The two of them standing together looked very compatible. If she had known that Miles could win the championship…
“Miss Beverly, please come with me…”
The official’s request made Beverly bite her lip. If she hadn’t chosen Jacob, she would probably be the most beautiful bride now, and none of this would’ve happened to Katie, But now, she had to face questioning for Jacob.
In the end, Jacob was taken away, and Beverly was also led away by two different people. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the competition had reached this stage, a situation–never before seen.
Due to this sudden incident, Jacob’s second place, after discussion by the judges and the organizers, was cancelled, and his place was taken by the contestant that had won third place.
The competition finally got a result.
Miles stood unwavering, and the championship was his!
Chloe had already foreseen the outcome when Katie made her appearance, so she was more than happy for Miles. Seeing Jacob flustered after losing the competition, and Beverly looking like she regretted her past choices, she felt quite relieved.
Miles silenced his opponent with his own talent. Previously, she didn’t think much of it, but now as a bystander, this feeling was rather satisfying.
The Baines family, seeing Jacob being taken away, were so flustered they didn’t know what to do. Laurel was crying out, trying to hold onto her son Jacob. Her cries attracted the attention of others at the venue, including Miles.
Seated in the middle, Brad slowly rose from his seat when he saw Miles looking over. From across the front seats, he locked eyes with Miles for a long while, then he started to laugh. “You’ve got some guts, worthy of being my grandson–in–law!”
Miles heard these words and chuckled. “Brad, it’s nice to see you remember you had a grandson–in–law like me.”
Brad frowned at these words and warned, “Miles!”
“Today, it’s clear that I’m not the ignorant and self–deprecating person you just mentioned. Sorry, I ruined your dear grandson Jacob’s dream of a three–peat.”
“What the hell are you talking about?! Jacob and you are both my family! Who would I favor if either of you achieved something?!”
Miles suddenly laughed coldly. “Favoritism? All I know is, for years, I’ve been alone, running a photo studio, barely making ends meet, while Jacob constantly took advantage of me, stole my business, poached my clients. He repeatedly oppressed me, preventing me from participating in any competitions, practically cutting off all my paths. At that time, not a single person stood up for me, or even comforted me. I was left in the cold. I may be an orphan, but I should have family. Yet, all these years, I’ve been alone, experiencing the vicissitudes of life.

“I’m not arguing about what is called unfair treatment. Today, I won the championship. If it were Jacob, I believe your whole family would be jumping for joy for his three–peat. So, that’s that. I am Miles, and I have nothing to do with the Baines family.”
“… You… you ungrateful…!” Brad shouted in anger.
However, Miles just gave a sarcastic smile, then shifted his gaze away, no longer looking at him.
Next was the award ceremony.
Chloe was casually chilling in the audience, eyes glued on the moment Miles was grabbing that championship trophy.
Once the game was over, the scene outside the venue turned into a total madhouse.
