Zara Woods gasped for breath. She forced herself to calm down and squeezed out a smile, “I’m sorry, Caleb. I was too impulsive. I didn’t expect Yvonne to agree to cooperate. Congratulations!”
Caleb Mamet didn’t respond.
Zara suddenly remembered something, “Libanan is about to hold a jewelry design exhibition. Will Yvonne attend?”
Xaviera Evans immediately understood this woman’s thoughts and said outright, “No.”
“Xaviera, how can you be so sure? Do you know Yvonne?” Zara smiled slightly, “I heard Yvonne is proud and unrestrained, with high standards. You’re close with Yvonne, so do you also possess extraordinary skills in jewelry design?”
Jake Lindsey also understood Zara’s intention, and quickly added, “Yeah! Miss Evans, since you know Yvonne, can you design jewelry too?”
Xaviera replied unhurriedly, “How can I be as good as Miss Woods?”
Zara’s eyes flashed coldly, and she said gently, “Xaviera, I heard that you originally signed up for the competition but withdrew for some reason. Since Yvonne isn’t participating, it would be great if you could represent her!”
Xaviera raised an eyebrow, “Miss Woods, is beating around the bush really that interesting?”
Zara’s face was full of embarrassment, but she quickly returned to normal and said warmly, “Xaviera, I have no ill intentions. I’m just curious why you suddenly gave up after signing up. Since you signed up, it means you like jewelry design, and the rankings don’t actually matter. You can participate as long as you like it!”
“Moreover, you are Yvonne’s friend! Your skills must be strong, and maybe your design will win the judges’ favor.”
Jake also joined in to persuade her, “Yeah, Libanan is finally hosting a jewelry design contest, so you really shouldn’t miss this opportunity.”
Both of them spoke one after another, seemingly for Xaviera’s sake, but actually…
Xaviera could see through Zara’s little scheme. Zara hadn’t seen her name on the list and thought she had withdrawn.
People who withdrew at the last minute either had health issues or lacked confidence in joining. So Zara thought Xaviera was afraid, having no faith in her own jewelry designs.
That’s why Zara and Jake took turns encouraging her to compete so that Zara could step on her in public, elevating herself and displaying the vast difference between them.
Such a good plan!
Xaviera lost her rationality and yelled, “It’s just a competition, right? I’ll participate!”
Seeing her agree, Zara showed a satisfied smile, “Xaviera, the result of the competition doesn’t really matter, what’s important is the process. It’s okay if your design isn’t good since you’re still young and have many more opportunities.”
“Jewelry design is different from other types of design, as it requires a huge investment. I think you probably haven’t undergone systematic education, but don’t be afraid. Failure is normal, and having the courage to compete is already outstanding.”
After a series of insincere consolations, Zara turned to Caleb Mamet, “It’s a pity that we won’t be able to cooperate with Mr. Caleb Mamet again. Sorry for the disturbance.”
Zara and Jake got up to leave. At the door, Jake said with resentment, “Zara, what’s the use of comforting Xaviera? She won’t remember your kindness. Anyway, the champion must be you this time. It’s uncertain whether Xaviera can even rank, and she might even lose miserably!”
“Jake… ”
“Am I wrong? Except for Yvonne, who can compete with you? I’ve checked the participants in this contest, and there are only a few famous designers, none of whom are as talented as you. Your reputation is the biggest, so how could the judges not give you face?”
Xaviera’s ears pricked up, clearly hearing what the two were saying.
So Zara is this confident? Without Yvonne, she was sure to be champion?
Alright, if I don’t reveal my true identity, I don’t think you guys will shut up!
Zara was like a cockroach that can’t be killed. She didn’t learn from being slapped in the face multiple times. Apparently, this time Xaviera had to give her a hard lesson, slap her face hard using Yvonne’s identity!
Once Yvonne shows up, who could compete with her?
