"First, I’ll give you a chance to learn from me again, guaranteeing you’ll gain fame within a year."
"Learn from you again?" Serena Sullivan laughed, "Would Ms. Hale even take me back?"
"Four years ago, I plagiarized Miss Quinn’s work in The Brilliance Competition."
Whether it was the mention of "The Brilliance Competition," "plagiarism," or "Miss Quinn," the girl in the black suit beside her lifted her head and stared blankly at her.
"Taking me back, aren’t you afraid of ruining your reputation, Ms. Hale?"
Ruth Hale thought Serena Sullivan was tempted. She smirked mockingly, so what if Claire Sullivan and Serena are wealthy, without her, The Sullivan Corporation would have collapsed long ago in jewelry design.
"Serena, everyone makes mistakes. As long as you can turn over a new leaf."
Ruth Hale said seriously, "After you learn with me, I’ll put in a good word for you with The Brilliance Competition, allowing you to participate, and I promise your work this year will make the shortlist."
If she intervened, the organizers of The Brilliance Competition would definitely disqualify Serena Sullivan.
"But, you must leave Ethan Grant."
As she spoke, Ruth Hale’s gaze fell disdainfully on Serena Sullivan’s legs, "Just look at yourself, thinking you can compete with Zoe Quinn for a man!"
Thinking about Serena snatching Ethan Grant away from Zoe Quinn, Ruth Hale was infuriated, how could she truly help Serena in the competition!
"Ha." Ruth Hale’s words made Serena Sullivan snicker, "What a generous gift from Ms. Hale, the great designer."
"How about this?" Serena softened her voice, observing Ruth Hale’s serious expression, "I’ll make a bet with you: this year, Zoe Quinn won’t even be in the top three, let alone the champion."
Fury surged to Ruth Hale’s forehead, "You’re refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
How dare she use Zoe to threaten her! Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel fire.net
"This year’s champion is Zoe!"
Moreover, with her involved, the championship must and will be Zoe’s.
Ruth Hale asserted with gritted teeth, she already had the best work in hand.
"Now I see why Zoe Quinn is so arrogant! So pretentious!"
Serena mocked, after re-encountering Ruth Hale, she realized one thing, Zoe Quinn and Ruth Hale looked quite alike.
"Turns out she resembles you!"
Serena deliberately dragged out her words, emphasizing on "resembles," her words making Ruth Hale’s expression darken further.
Ruth Hale glared hatefully at Serena, "Alright, alright!"
"Since you’re refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, don’t blame me for being impolite."
Ruth Hale spoke, her smile growing more pronounced, "Serena, there’s no surveillance installed in this office. Today I’ll slap your face until it’s ruined, and no one will know I’m the one who did it."
"Is that so?" Serena laughed back, she wasn’t afraid with Lia around.
"I’d also like to try, see if slapping the face until it’s ruined means no one knows who did it."
Serena said thoughtfully, seriously.
