Chapter 575
Marianne’s good mood for the day was instantly ruined.
She clenched her fists, her eyes turning cold.
Those two fools don’t know what’s good for them. Once the competition is over and Ms. Rainsford publicly announces she’s taking Hailey as her protégé, it’ll be their turn to come crawling to me!
“That’s number 4, right? The one everyone’s been talking about, who’s supposedly going to be Ms. Rainsford’s protégé p>
“As expected of Ms. Rainsford’s hand-picked successor. She’s really something p>
“It’s been five minutes and not a single designer has started drawing. They’re all obviously still thinking about how to fit the theme while creating an exquisite jewelry design. But while everyone is still brainstorming, number 4 has already started p>
“Her mind works so fast p>
“That’s why she caught Ms. Rainsford’s eye and was personally invited to compete p>
A sudden wave of amazed chatter rose from the crowd.
When Marianne heard “number 4,” she immediately looked up at the stage. Number 4 was none other than her daughter, Hailey.
On the stage, Hailey was the only one who had put her pencil to paper. The other contestants were all still lost in thought, none of them having started.
Marianne’s mood instantly soared again. As expected of the Wynn family’s lucky star, she always made her proud!
Hailey was now, without a doubt, the most watched contestant in the entire venue. Whether it was the individual feeds magnified by the industry elites in the audience or the close-ups on the live stream, Hailey’s view count was far ahead, more than double that of the second-place contestant.
She was thrilled, too. Her hand trembled as she sketched.
The theme, “Revival,” was a perfect fit for a design she happened to have on hand. Yes, she had it.
The jewelry set she had given to Brianna, as well as the necklace she was currently wearing, all came from a stack of design sketches in her possession. They were not her own designs.
She had found that stack of
sketches in a storage room at the
Wynn family’s home after she

moved back. They were tucked. inside an old, discarded folder, When
she first saw them, even
were just rough ugh they
and not
finished pieces, she was immediately captivated by the
designs.
As a student of jewelry design, she knew that if these sketches were properly developed and turned into finished products… they would be absolutely breathtaking.
So, Hailey searched the entire internet to confirm that these sketches had never been published.
Then, she had a bold idea… to claim them as her own.
Before entering the competition, Hailey had memorized all the design elements and details from the sketches. When the theme “Revival” was announced her mind immediately went to a design from the drafts that perfectly matched it. Cóntent
However, she couldn’t be too obvious. Starting to draw the moment the theme was announced
would make it seem like she had
been given the topic in advance. She now had these designs in her possession and fame was just a matter of time. She didn’twant her reputation tainted by any hint of
scandal.
So, she pretended to brainstorm, deliberately waiting five minutes before she finally began to draw.
Two hours later.
“Time’s up p>
The host announced, watching the hourglass.
All the contestants immediately put down their pencils.
