"I knew Charlotte would be crowned the winner."
"Nicely done, I wonder if that piece is for sale. I really want it!"
"Yeah, when you’re a top designer, even with standard materials, you can create pieces that are absolutely breathtaking."
"Exactly, I was attracted by Charlotte immediately, she has such a fantastic aura, I never expected her to be Joy!"
A torrent of praise for Charlotte flooded the comment section.
Charlotte won this competition splendidly.
Not only because of Joy’s reputation, but also her extraordinary ability, she truly deserved the championship.
The voting data have been publicly disclosed.
Charlotte’s vote count led by almost ten times the second place, making her wonder if there was a problem with the system.
Along with the data, all the comments praised Charlotte and complimented her work.
Evelyn Curtis stared at the comments scrolling past with bloodshot eyes, her face alternating between pale and purple.
She dug her fingertips into her palms to maintain a calm demeanor.
Despite her visible indignation, she forced a smile to keep up appearances for the cameras.
If only she had a mirror to show her hideous expressions.
"The most important part of all, the winner gets to sign a contract with Vanguard Jewelry! Let’s welcome Ms. Cindy, the director of Vanguard Jewelry, and Miss Charlotte to the signing ceremony!"
The host announces this exciting news, causing the other contestants to gaze in envy.
Joining Vanguard Jewelry means a ladder straight to the top, allowing her to sidestep obstacles and achieve unprecedented success.
Everyone knew Charlotte was at the pinnacle already, so the real anticipation was to see this powerful alliance between Joy and Vanguard Jewelry.
"Did Joy leave BK? She even came to join the design competition held by Vanguard Jewelry."
"Vanguard Jewelry is emerging as a dark horse in the jewelry industry. Joy must see the potential and hence, make the switch."
"I can tell Charlotte is from Druarus by her fluent language skills, she must be planning to return home and do us proud!"
"Yeah, I truly admire Joy! She made it as a top designer abroad and is now starting afresh back home. She’s amazing!"
The signing ceremony was prearranged, yet Director Cindy was nowhere in sight.
The atmosphere quickly stiffened, causing the host to sweat bullet.
He shot a questioning look at the staff, who were also clueless, hastily scurrying to find her.
Under the spotlight, a tall, elegant man with a commanding air enters the stage, drawing everyone’s attention.
"Oh my God, isn’t that Justin Battleson, CEO of Riley Group? Oh my goodness, I’ve only ever seen his pictures. He’s even more handsome in person!"
"He is really handsome! I want to work at Riley Group."
"Keep dreaming, do you know how high Riley Group’s requirements are? But honestly, I want to join them too."
"With a boss like that, I’d be willing to work even 999 hours, not just 996!"
The man’s face was hard, stern, devoid of any smile.
Upon the panel, Evelyn Curtis suddenly sat upright, a flicker of surprise and delight in her eyes.
She confidently assumed that Justin was here to support her, and would definitely make Charlotte uncomfortable.
Charlotte was also taken aback by Justin’s appearance at the competition, and chose to keep her composure as she was unsure about his intentions.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Justin Battleson walked up to Charlotte.
