In the afternoon, the designers had handed in their sketches one after another. The organizers of the competition told the contestants to take their pre-order forms and pick up materials in the material area.
When Zara Woods and Mr. Jason were about to return to the design hall after obtaining their materials, Zara suddenly exclaimed, “Oh no! I forgot to get the gray bead. Joy isn’t here either, I’d better go back and get it.”
Jason was displeased, “Hold on, we should return first to confirm the main part of our work.”
“But…
Zara was in a dilemma, “I can’t do that. My materials are very similar to Xaviera’s. What if I make a mistake? Moreover, she… ”
Jason shouted out, “What are you afraid of? What could she do in front of everyone? Even though she may have a powerful patron, she wouldn’t dare to blatantly destroy your materials!”
“Zara, let me help you get it!” At this moment, a familiar face approached, his eyes tenderly looking at Zara.
Zara, with a radiant face and a curvaceous body, had a gentle gaze that made the approaching man’s heart skip a beat. “Miss Woods, I’m a friend of Jake Lindsey. He asked me to take care of you. Since I’m going to get my materials anyway, let me fetch it for you.”
In their circle, Zara was like a goddess, with the status of being the daughter of the Woods family, her figure and looks were perfect, and she also possessed her clothing and jewellery brand. Not to mention, her extraordinary design talent. Such a woman should be every man’s dream lover.
Of course she knew what he was thinking. Her eyes red-rimmed and full of vulnerability, she said, “Thank you, Brother Howard. I … It’s all my fault for being so careless. The material I need is a gray bead, you know it.”
Howard nodded. Seeing Xaviera Evans passing by, his face instantly darkened.
How dare this bitch Xaviera bully Zara? Zara was like a mascot to them, the brothers from wealthy families. Whoever dared to bully her would be making enemies with them!
After a while, Howard came back with the materials. Zara, holding it against the light, smirked.
This was the bead Xaviera needed, the Magic Jade Bead. And the gray bead that she had reserved, Howard didn’t get it.
Without the Magic Jade Bead, she wondered what kind of design Xaviera would come out with!
Howard’s eyes flickered, “Mr. Jason.”
Jason looked up.
Howard lowered his voice, “Actually, this bead is not the gray bead Zara reserved. Zara’s gray bead was severely scratched and ruined, and it’s no use bringing it back, as it can’t be used as a material.”
Zara stood to the side, looking at the design sketch, pretending that she hadn’t heard anything, but her eyes were full of delight.
Howard continued, “I asked around, and someone said the person who ruined the gray bead was Xaviera Evans. She deliberately tried to trip up Zara, just to stop Zara from winning the competition. I thought about it, and I couldn’t let her get away with it so I took Xaviera’s Magic Jade Bead instead.”
“It’s Xaviera’s own fault for shooting herself in the foot! She deserves it! If you destroy material privately, you should pay the price. If she hadn’t destroyed Zara’s material, why would I take the material she needed?”
“Zara is too kind. If the truth was told to her, she would definitely give the Magic Jade Bead back to Xaviera. Let’s not tell her.”
Howard felt that he had considered things thoroughly, when he tells Zara about it afterwards, she would definitely be very touched.
Zara simply smiled, still pretending to look attentively at the sketch.
Indeed, she had used Xaviera’s material, but even if it got exposed, it wouldn’t matter, because she was totally clueless about it! It was Howard who had stolen Xaviera’s material, not her!
However, it didn’t necessarily mean Xaviera would be short of materials because other people also chose the Magic Jade Bead. In the end, someone will be short of the Magic Jade Bead, and if those people find out that they’re short on beads, will they go to Xaviera to settle the score?
The competition was about to start, Xaviera and Yigol Mamet went to collect their materials together, only to find a crowd outside the material room, complaining loudly about something.
“How can this happen? How are we supposed to complete our work if we’re short on materials!”
Xaviera frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
Xenia Jaak rushed over in a hurry and anxiously said, “Xaviera! Have you heard? One bead was destroyed and even the organizers are investigating!”
