In the banquet hall, the arrival of the Queen had reignited the liveliness, and many people wanted to use this opportunity to get close and elevate their own status.
The Sheffield Family was no exception.
Melinda Langley reminded Shannon Sheffield to quickly step forward and greet the Queen.
Although the Queen was not invited by them, Anne Adler was only coming because of Faye Sterling’s influence.
But she was attending the Sheffield Family’s banquet, and if they befriended her, there would be nothing but benefits.
Shannon understood, and immediately lifted her gown and went forward.
She gracefully curtseyed and respectfully said, "Queen, Master Anne, I am Shannon Sheffield. Thank you for coming to my coming-of-age celebration today."
The Queen’s gaze fell on Shannon Sheffield’s neck, revealing a complicated expression with deep meaning.
Before going out to greet the guests, Shannon Sheffield had already returned to the resting room and put on the necklace.
Faye Sterling saw this and immediately spoke, "This is the necklace I designed for Miss Sheffield, named Heart of Blue."
The Queen loved collecting various exquisite and unique jewelry, so she noticed Shannon Sheffield’s necklace at first glance? Could it be that she was captivated by her design?
If she could design for the Queen, would her status also rise accordingly?
Shannon Sheffield turned her eyes and followed up with a compliment, "Indeed, Miss Sterling’s design is very beautiful, and I like it a lot, which is why I chose her design as my coming-of-age jewelry."
The Queen appeared thoughtful and asked, "How come I heard that the original designer chosen by the Sheffield Family was someone else?"
Faye Sterling’s eyes turned cold, and she laughed, "Initially, the design chosen by the Sheffield Family was indeed not mine, but my sister’s design.
Later, it was discovered that she had used the patented design of my mentor’s school without authorization, and her qualification has been revoked."
Shannon Sheffield had reached a consensus with Faye Sterling earlier, and now she also wanted to make a good impression in front of the Queen, naturally aligning with Faye Sterling.
She chuckled and agreed, "Yes, I used to think Eleanor Sterling’s design was very beautiful. I didn’t expect her to be someone who uses other people’s patents without authorization."
The Queen’s eyes narrowed slightly and she looked at Faye Sterling and asked, "Your mentor’s patent?"
Faye Sterling puffed out her chest proudly and said, "That’s right, it’s a technique inherited by my mentor, Anne Adler."
She turned to Anne and asked, "Mentor, isn’t that right?"
Anne Adler smiled slightly but did not speak. Google seaʀᴄh novelFirｅ.net
Why hasn’t Eleanor Sterling arrived yet? She could hardly hold back!
Faye Sterling gave Shannon Sheffield a look, signaling her to take out the design drafts while she had the chance.
Shannon Sheffield immediately understood and turned to gesture to the servant.
Not long after, the servant brought over two design drafts.
Shannon Sheffield, holding the design drafts, walked up to the Queen and said, "Queen, this is the sketch designed by Eleanor Sterling, although it’s very beautiful.
However, because it involves infringement, it has already been abandoned.
She wanted to use someone else’s patent to become famous and even used such a design for my coming-of-age jewelry.
She wants me to become everyone’s laughingstock; it’s truly despicable!"
Faye Sterling let out a sigh beside her and said, "Actually, my sister is quite talented.
I didn’t expect her to do such a thing for the sake of reputation.
If she really ends up in jail because of this, I will definitely try to help her..."
Faye Sterling showed deep sisterly affection, seeming very concerned for Eleanor Sterling.
Anne Adler’s expression cracked slightly, and she took a few deep breaths to suppress the rising emotions in her chest.
Just hold on a little longer...
The Queen took the drafts from Shannon Sheffield’s hands and examined them closely, seemingly looking at the details of Eleanor Sterling’s design.
After a moment, the Queen sighed and said, "Patent infringement is indeed a bad behavior."
Faye Sterling curled her lips into a smile, her eyes filled with malice.
Eleanor Sterling, oh Eleanor Sterling, blame yourself for appearing in front of me without knowing your place.
Aside from compensation and lawsuits, you will be despised by everyone, and it might be that you can no longer mix in the design circle.
It would be best if you were forced to leave Veridia City!
By then, she would find someone to completely deal with Eleanor Sterling, thus removing this major concern from her heart.
