The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 235: An Unexpected Turn

Sure, here’s the translation:

Skylar Hughes was a bit surprised to see Paige Sterling, then couldn’t help but curl her lips in a mocking smile.

She said she wouldn’t co, yet here she is?

She had already found out that Fashion Week tickets are not for sale and are given out as a gesture of friendship.

It wasn’t easy for her to get these two tickets, and all the tickets had already been given out long before, so Paige Sterling couldn’t have gotten any.

So without a ticket, how would Paige finally get in? She could only rely on her.

This is just a way to avoid owing her a favor for the ticket while still taking advantage of her, so she ca to the hotel pretending to run into her by chance, so she could sneak in with her, right?

Did Paige really think Skylar Hughes would let herself be manipulated like that?

Skylar sneered inwardly, "Paige, I thought you really weren’t coming, so unfortunately, I gave the extra ticket to soone else."

Paige: "What does that have to do with ?"

Skylar: "... Hehe." What’s with the pretense? Won’t she ask for her help later?

However, before Skylar got off the elevator, Paige had already left, not even giving Skylar a glance as she walked.

Skylar: "...?"

When Paige reached the banquet hall, she found that the other Veridia mbers who left earlier hadn’t arrived yet, only Chris Swift was there.

She asked Chris, "What’s going on?"

"There was a minor incident, they’ll be here soon."

Paige responded with an "oh," and Chris said, "Did you notice, Paige? Everyone looked at you as soon as you ca in."

Paige flipped her hair, "Maybe they’ve never seen a genius as beautiful as , they must be in awe."

Chris: "..."

Soon the other Veridia mbers arrived too.

When Paige saw them, she was really baffled.

When they left, they were dressed very casually, but now they were in suits and ties, with their hair styled with gel, looking like successful businessn, even walking with an air of pretense.

Paige: "... This is the ’minor incident’ you ntioned?"

Chris: "... They said this year, you’d rely on your skills, and they’d rely on their looks."

Paige: "..."

Gotta admit, when this group of older n dressed up, they did have quite the presence.

Among them was an elderly lady, also a renowned veteran scientist, with stylish granny curls and a cheongsam, exuding an impressive aura.

Those attending this conference are giants in the scientific community.

Being called giants, they’re obviously not young anymore.

Paige was probably the youngest one among them.

At usual conferences like this, there’s a common phenonon that in every country, the attendees are mostly bald if they’re older, and if soone with a full head of hair appears, they’d be the focal point of the event.

Let’s not even ntion the older ones, even the younger ones, as soon as they work in this field, would be bald in two or three years.

Since everyone is bald, there’s nothing to be ashad of, so representatives from various countries usually don’t hide it.

However, at this year’s conference...

It changed how all other countries viewed Veridia’s representatives because they showed up like they were walking a red carpet, the whole room was stunned.

But soon everyone’s attention shifted from Veridia’s outfits to another matter, which was—hair.

Holy crap, what happened with these Veridian scientists? They’ve grown hair? And each one has such thick hair.

A group of old folks with such full hair amidst a sea of bald heads stood out like cranes among chickens, drawing so much attention.

They walked with heads held high, accepting the attention of the entire audience, leaving everyone dumbfounded wherever they went.

Soon, representatives from various countries started discussing privately.

"Why aren’t they following the rules? We agreed no one would wear wigs, yet this year, they showed up with wigs, what’s that about?"

Dressing formally was acceptable; although everyone is bald, they still dressed properly as they represent their country, they must tidy themselves up.

But wearing wigs is just over the top.

"Exactly, these Veridians are too untrustworthy, they secretly wore wigs?"

Do they think wearing wigs would hide the fact that they’re bald?"

"Had I known, I would’ve brought a wig too."

Countries were filled with resentnt toward Veridia for breaking the rules.

That feeling was like, being told it’s a casual gathering where everyone dresses casually, but upon arrival, you find people all decked out in jewels, and only you look like a bumpkin.

Although Veridia’s mbers arrived yesterday, it was also the first ti Elysia’s delegation saw Veridia’s mbers today.

They have always been at odds with Veridia, and seeing Veridia steal the spotlight today with wigs made them feel slighted.

A few of their younger mbers ca over, not daring to ss with Veridia’s scientific luminaries, so they targeted so Veridian newcors who were already bald and started deliberately engaging them to attract the attention of other young Veridia mbers.

anwhile, they sent soone behind Veridia’s mbers, planning to pull off their wigs at once, so they’d be humiliated in public.

But after chatting with Veridia’s mbers for a long ti, they didn’t see their mber pulling off the other’s wig.

The person chatting couldn’t help but look over, only to find their mber returning, looking bewildered.

They had no choice but to laugh it off and leave with their mbers.

Once they were in a secluded spot they asked, "What’s going on? Didn’t you pull their wigs off?"

"We did pull, and we pulled hard, but just couldn’t take them off, I suspect it’s... real hair..."

Real hair?

How is that possible? It’s not their first ti at this conference, everyone knows how much hair everyone else has, right?

Among the countries, Veridia’s mbers had the worst baldness, how could it be real hair?

Could it be that this group went crazy just for appearances and got hair transplants?

But given their workload, even an idiot knows hair transplants are useless, it wouldn’t be long before they all fall off again.

That’s why no one in the scientific community undergoes hair transplants.

Moreover, when they appeared on TV a couple of months ago, they were still bald, even with transplants, the hair couldn’t have grown so quickly?

"What’s really going on? Should we go ask how they got their hair?"

"Are you an idiot, we just spent ages pulling their hair, would they tell us?"

"But I’m really curious, what if they’ve discovered so secret hair growth formula, our baldness could be saved?"

Baldness really affects a person’s image.

Especially when finding a wife, you might not be that old, but your baldness makes you look like the girl’s dad, why would she be interested in you?

So no one present didn’t want to grow a full head of hair.

And now that these forrly bald Veridian mbers have such full heads of hair, how can they not be envious, how can they not be curious?
