Chapter 1401:
“Sought his guidance?” Bruce caught the crucial words at once.
After a brief pause, Annabel nodded. “Yes. Kalel taught me the pattern for the bracelet. However, I’m not as skilled as he is. I still needed his assistance p>
Annabel’s words carried a mix of truth and fiction. The pattern on the bracelet had indeed come from Kalel’s teachings, but the fabrication was her claim of being a novice. In reality, she had already honed her skills to a remarkable degree. After all, a beginner couldn’t possibly create something so exquisite.
The others were taken aback by her revelation. They hadn’t expected such an answer. As more eyes turned toward Annabel, a subtle shift in perception began to take root.
“Annabel, what other surprises do you have up your sleeve that we don’t know about?” Bruce patted her hand, his gesture conveying his growing fondness. He glanced at Rupert, signaling his approval of their union—an approval that now felt paramount.
Rupert’s gaze lingered on Annabel with newfound tenderness.
“No, this can’t be true. How could you possibly create something so extraordinary p>
Vickie refused to believe Annabel’s story. She was convinced her loss in the previous competition had been nothing but a fluke.
That was why Vickie had sent Bruce the jade gift, hoping to overshadow Annabel. Yet Annabel had responded with something even more magnificent.
“Didn’t I tell you? Old Mr. Sampson has been a tremendous help to me,” Annabel replied softly.
Vickie’s smile wavered, revealing her discomfort. “I would love to pay a visit to this reclusive master. He must possess incredible skills. Miss Hewitt, where did you find him p>
Her inquiry made it clear she had already set her mind on seeking out Kalel afterward. “Perhaps you already know him. After all, you’re acquainted with the esteemed Dwight Pierce,” Annabel said with utmost seriousness.

Vickie couldn’t help sensing a hint of sarcasm in Annabel’s words. Now Annabel had surpassed her in both the quality of the emerald and the sculpting technique.
What good did it do that Vickie knew Dwight Pierce?
She had spent considerable time and effort—she had even enlisted her family’s help—just to secure Dwight’s services to craft her ornament. She had poured significant resources into it.
“Miss Hewitt, you must be jesting. I don’t recall knowing an old man named Kalel p>
After a moment of contemplation, Vickie was certain she had never met him.
“Miss Hewitt, could it be that the old man you’re referring to is none other than Kyson?” a voice beside Bruce interjected.
“Who?” someone exclaimed, startled by the unexpected comment.
“I didn’t expect someone to guess correctly. The old man I mentioned is indeed Master Kyson p>
Annabel then turned her gaze to Vickie, who looked utterly stunned. Curiosity dripped from Annabel’s voice as she asked, “Miss Kelly, haven’t you heard of Kyson p>
Yes, Annabel did it on purpose.
She knew exactly what Vickie had intended when she presented the gift.
