Chapter 1539
Having him take on a commission for Winona was a powerful endorsement. It was common knowledge that Old Mr. White, a living legend in the industry, refused to work with scandal-plagued celebrities or anyone of questionable character. Now that the great man himself was creating an exclusive collection for Winona, who would dare say she had a character problem? Old Mr. White was sending a clear message to the world: Winona’s character is impeccable! And other brands always followed his lead. If Old Mr. White supported Winona, they would too. You had to admit, it was a masterful move by Keaton. Old Mr. White looked at Elysia with a gentle expression. “Although I move in fashion and entertainment circles, I rarely pay attention to the industry gossip or the private lives of celebrities. Even if I see some news, I don’t follow it. So, I didn’t know about Keaton and Winona’s situation on Twitter, or that they were your friends. After finding Emmett, I’ve been so focused on Maria that I haven’t even looked at Emmett’s Twitter. It’s a good thing Keaton mentioned Winona is Emmett’s godmother, otherwise I really would have refused! Really, you don’t have to be so formal with me. If your friends need my help, I’ll help. If I see a need, I’ll offer my help proactively. It’s just that sometimes I don’t see it, so if you ever need anything, just let me know. I’ll definitely help.” Elysia’s lips parted. This time, it wasn’t about being polite; it was that the thought had never even crossed their minds. They had never considered asking Old Mr. White to save the day. “Thank you for your help. Winona is my best friend.” Old Mr. White smiled. “Emmett told me. He said he has two godmoms-one is Winona, and the other is actually named Blossom. He said they both love him very much, and he loves them too. In fact, I should be the one thanking you. You all love Emmett so much, and I’m truly grateful.” After a few pleasantries, while the waiter was serving the food, Elysia quickly checked her phone. Sure enough, with Old Mr. White making a move, the internet had been turned upside down. A short while ago, Old Mr. White had posted two consecutive updates. The first one: A public announcement that he had accepted Keaton’s private commission and would be creating a bespoke collection for Winona. He would not be accepting any other orders this year. The second one: He stated that Winona’s personal qualities and character were a perfect fit for his aesthetic, and he intended to collaborate with her long-term, hiring her as his permanent muse. The two posts sent the Internet into another frenzy. A private commission from Elder White came with a price tag that could buy a small island-a luxury reserved only for the world’s elite. And Keaton was willing to order an entire collection for Winona. In all his years of dating, this was the first time he had spent so much on one person. And the key point was, Winona wasn’t even his girlfriend! The public immediately began to speculate that Shifra must have initiated the breakup because Keaton had already privately ended things with her. By the time Shifra went live, she was already an ex-girlfriend! They also theorized that Keaton had likely fallen for Winona and was planning to pursue her. On this matter, the internet split into three camps with differing opinions: One group thought Keaton and Winona were a total power couple and gave them their full support. Another group, mostly Winona’s fans, felt Keaton was too much of a player and didn’t deserve her. A third group argued that Winona was divorced, while Keaton had never been married. She wasn’t good enough for him! However, when it came to Winona’s character, everyone was in agreement: With Old Mr. White’s strong endorsement, her character had to be solid! Old Mr. White hadn’t posted anything in six months, and today he posts twice, both about Winona! Especially the second post, he intended to collaborate with her long-term, naming her as his permanent muse The word ‘envy’ didn’t even begin to cover it. Everyone, including Shifra, who had hoped to use today’s events to ruin Winona, collectively… imploded. They were stunned, dumbfounded, and green with envy.
