Eleanor ignored the host and turned to Mandy, saying, “Mandy, you can try it on. Although it’s just a sample, I made it based on real proportions and weight.”
Mandy placed it on her head and exclaimed in amazement, I didn’t expect you to even consider these details. It’s clear that you have a solid knowledge of your profession.”
Her words dispelled the criticisms from Zoey’s fans.
Zocy, standing nearby, felt uneasy. She had asked Eleanor to go on stage early to embarrass. her, not to steal the spotlight.
Still maintaining a gentle smile, Zoey said, “Mandy, why don’t you try on my piece as well? If anything is lacking, please do point it out.”
Zoey was taking a step back to advance, knowing that if Eleanor stopped her, it would make her seem petty.
The difference in their manners was immediately apparent.
What Zoer.
expect was that Eleanor calmly took a step back.
“Of course, please, Eleanor said.
Zoey glanced at Eleanor, who was looking down and couldn’t help but feel that she had played her cards right.
Even so, she believed that once Mandy put on her work, she would surely realize that fake could never match the real thing.
No matter how clever Eleanor’s design was, it was just a pile of worthless junk compared to her own genuine piece.
Zoey couldn’t wait to hear Mandy praise her work. She quickly grabbed the necklace to place it around Mandy’s neck.
In an instant, the necklace broke into pieces.
Zoey stared at the shattered necklace, shocked and at a loss for words. “How could this happen? This is impossible…
Mandy glanced at the broken pieces, crouched down to pick up the main part of the necklace, and gave it a slight weight check. Her expression changed immediately, and she placed the pieces gently back on the tray.

Zoey still wanted to explain, but Mandy completely ignored her and walked off the stage. She headed straight back to the judges‘ seats where she began whispering with the other judges.
Zoey was completely unaware of what had happened until Mandy said, “Let’s continue the competition.”
The host quickly responded, “Both of you, please take a break. Next contestant, please come on stage.
Eleanor smiled and walked off the stage, with Zoey chasing after her from behind.
“Did you know about this already?” Zoey asked.
“Miss Taylor, what are you saying? I don’t understand. How would I know if it’s not your work?” Eleanor pretended to be puzzled.
Zoey glanced around, then lowered her voice and asked, “Why did the necklace break?”
Eleanor smiled faintly. “Didn’t you get the design drawings for my sample? Didn’t you revise the data? Can’t you even copy properly?”
With that, she turned and walked away.
After taking a few steps, she stopped, glanced back at Zoey, and reminded her, “When Elijah gave you the design drawings, didn’t he warn you not to overdo it? The ring really doesn’t look good!”
“Eleanor!” Zoey was furious, barely managing to maintain her graceful image.
When Eleanor saw Zoey showcasing the real stones on stage, she immediately knew the necklace was bound to break.
That was why she had attracted Mandy to wear her work.
Knowing Zoey’s character, Eleanor was sure that Zoey wouldn’t let her steal the spotlight. Once the necklace was worn, the weight of the real stones would cause the thin chain to collapse under the load.
The thin chain could not support the weight of so many real stones.
In fact, during production, a simple test by weighing it could have revealed the flaw. But elearly, Zoey had been so full of pride for so long that she had let victory cloud her judgment.

On her way back to the lounge, Eleanor spotted he staff member who had dropped her sample.
She was about to approach and ask what had happened, but to her surprise, as soon as she stepped forward, she saw the staff member standing before the event organizer.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t expect Eleanor to prepare two sets, the staff member said.
“You fool, you can’t even handle such a small matter. How am I supposed to explain this to Elijah? If Miss Taylor doesn’t win, you can forget about your job.”
Upon hearing this, Eleanor pressed herself tightly against the wall, the coldness from the surface creeping up her back, causing her shoulders to tremble.
Anger rose inside her, but she couldn’t speak it out. Instead, she dug her fingers into the wall, using the pain to calm herself.
For Zoey, Elijah was as ruthless as ever. No matter how much she tried to escape, she would always be the one sacrificed.
Biting her lip, Eleanor left the scene and returned to the lounge, quietly sitting and waiting for the results.
The applause echoed repeatedly.
In the end, the judges continued their intense discussion, and the event organizer spoke a few words..
Finally, Mandy was called to the stage. After speaking for a while, her expression remained. unreadable as she opened the envelope in her hands.
“The first place in this competition goes to… Zoey.”
“And second place, Eleanor.”
“Third place, Haven.”
Applause filled the air, and everyone stepped forward to congratulate Zocy.
