Chapter 24
Hank looked deeply at Sheila and said in an extremely serious tone, “Although your work looks beautiful, it lacks depth.”
Seeing that Sheila seemed unconvinced, he continued. “The outline mostly uses ellipses and smooth curves; it should be a piece that looks gentle and elegant
“However, you’ve used too many sharp, fragmented diamonds, which makes it look a bit incongruous”
Hank sighed. He even began to doubt whether Sheila had truly completed the work on her own.
Lindsey looked at Hank in surprise. She hadn’t expected that he could discern what she had originally intended to express
Shesla didn’t accept this response. But I just wanted to express this kind of contradictory beauty in my work. And didn’t I successfully integrate the two? Everyone thinks it’s beautiful.”
Hank shook his head. “No, I don’t think this piece of yours is successful. On the contrary, I find it quite odd. Moreover, when evaluating a work, beauty is indeed a criterion, but it’s not the only one
Hearing Hank’s words, the other judges began to re–examine Shattered Star.
Suddenly, one person raised a sign. “Host, may I change my score that I just gave! Is that okay?”
The host asked with a smile, “May I ask what score you would like to change it to
“I would like to reduce my score by twenty points. Mr. Loomis’s words just now have inspired me. Ms. Jennings’s work is indeed beautiful, but let me ask everyone, what is the most basic function of a piece of jewelry?” the judge asked.
The venue fell silent. Among the audience, there were quite a few designers, and soon someone provided the answer. “It’s to set off the wearer and add beauty to them.
The judge continued, “That’s right. But in Ms. Jennings’s piece, I can’t see this effect at all. On the contrary, it seems that the necklace has attracted all the attention.”
There was a buzz in the audience. Sheila bit her lip, She questioned, “Is it wrong i for a piece to be too beautiful?”
“It’s not wrong to be too beautiful in itself, but it is wrong if it overshadows the really designed independently by you? Hank frowned
Sarer. Actually, 1 have a doubt. Ms. Jennings, was this necklace
The outline of the necklace contrasted too much with the detailed style that followed; it just didn’t seem like the work of one person.
Sheila was taken aback, feeling very guilty, but she still feigned composure. “Of course, I completed it independently. Mr. Loomis, what do you mean by that?”
Hank shook his head. “Nothing. I was just asking casually,
He could already discern some clues from Sheila’s reaction.
Olivia in the audience was trying hard to wave at Sheila, signaling her to come down quickly to avoid further deductions from the judges.
“Well. Do the judges have any more questions? If not, let’s move on to the next piece, the host interjected to smooth things over.
Sheila stormed off the stage, her eyes already slightly red.
She headed towards Olivia, but at that moment, she saw the exhibition hall door quietly open a crack, and a familiar gure shipped in
Lindsey was still intently admiring the design on stage when she suddenly felt someone sit next to her
She turned her head and looked, her face full of surprise. “How come you’re here!”
The person who arrived was Shawn. He laughed and said, “I came to see if there are any outstanding designers, maybe I can recruit some.”
As he spoke, his assistant handed him a roster, which listed the previously displayed design works and their scores.
Shawn roughly flipped through it for a while, his gaze lingering for a long time on Shattered Star,
Lindsey’s heart stirred, and she tentatively asked him, “You like this design?”

Chapter 21
Shawn tapped his finger on the page and frowned, saying. “Not particularly fond of it. There are just some aspects of the design that I like, but the whole design looks too ostentatious and a bit vulgar”
For some reason, Lindsey’s mood suddenly became elated. She asked again, “So what do you like about this design!”
Shawn looked at her questioningly but still patiently replied. “Its structure is quite good, and the outline lines are also relatively smooth. There’s not
much else to commend
Lindsey smiled. praising Shawn’s discernment in her heart.
As soon as Sheila returned to her seat, before she could even speak to Olivia, a jeweler approached. “Ms. Sheila Jennings, I am a representative of Lustre & Lore. I really like your work. Are you interested in a long–term collaboration with our company?”
Although Sheila’s design had been criticized for some issues, looking at the whole venue, her score was still the highest, and her work was beautiful enough
Sheila curled the corner of her mouth, and the displeasure from just now dissipated by more than half. “Lustre & Lore? I’ll think about it.”
“Ms. Jennings, I am an editor from Vogue Horizon. Are you interested in collaborating with our magazine?” Another person chimed in
“Ms. Jennings.” Oder merchants also wanted to sign contracts with Sheila,
In just a short while, many people had gathered around Sheila. They were all afraid that if they didn’t act quickly, Sheila would collaborate with other companies.
Olivia co
couldn’t stop smiling, thinking Hank was blind. Sheila was clearly a sought–after designer, so she didn’t see any problem.
Sheila took a moment to glance at the design number on stage and realized that the entire competition was almost over. At this rate, even if she was criticized a hundred times over, she would still be the champion
She was triumphantly talking with the company representatives when a sudden burst of exclamations erupted from the audience. Sheila’s heart sank slightly, and she immediately turned her head to look at the stage.
The host was still announcing. Now we are presenting the last piece of this scompetition, Shattered Radiance by designer L.”
This piece was also a necklace. At the center of the pendant was a smooth crystal surrounded by daisies of varying sizes, with a fresh green hue. It looked as if the crystal was subtly hidden among the flowers.
What was even more ingenious was that the daisies seemed to be dotted with the morning dew. Under the illumination of the lights, there was a Esine spill of light
This light likely came from the small amount of crushed diamonds hidden in the petals of the daisies, a perfect finishing touch.
The host introduced the necklace with a cue card in hand and specially added. The designer of Shattered Radiance, L. is participating anonymously, so he will not be on stage today.
“However, he
e has provided a lot of introductions for this piece, and this information is now being displayed on the big screen”
There was a commotion in the venue.
“Such a beautiful design, why participate anonymously!
I think this one is much better than the previous Shattered Star. Now that I compare them, Shattered Star seems too ordinary” “What genius designed this necklace? It’s so beautiful”
“Can’t you understand soch a simple truth? The designer’s absence clearly indicates that he doesn’t want to cause a sensation.”
