    Chapter 410 A Sudden Chance


    Venus asked coldly on the phone, “Have you met the Royden boy? Is he pleased with you?” Sherry


    answered sweetly, ‘He was pretty pleased with me. I chatted a lot with him and…”


    Venus interrupted her, “That’s good. All you have to offer is your pretty face, so you must secure your


    rtionship with him quickly. Your father and I will return next month. We will discuss the details then.


    You have better not cause any trouble for us.”


    ‘Yes, Mommy, I understand.” Sherry’s hands shook slightly. Ever since Sherry was little, she was


    always made to feel inferior in the Summer family. Thus, she believed marrying Edgar would redeem


    her.


    It seemed Edgar had guessed correctly. The Summer family implicitly allowed Sherry to coborate


    with Edbert so that Pinnacle Group could borrow Royden Group’s market influence to return to the


    domestic market sessfully.


    That way, they would be able to develop further in the future. If she failed to marry Edgar, the Summer


    family would deem her worthless.


    Then…


    “All right. That’s all,” Venus said sternly and hung up. The car continued to travel ahead. Sherry’s gaze


    gradually dulled. “Edgar is my final hope. I’m sorry, Jean.”

    Half an hourter, Kalel Cordova entered the event hall, holding his partner Judy’s hand. Their


    presence immediately sent the venue buzzing with excitement.


    As it was a private gathering, there were no reporters, and everyone could speak freely.


    Since most of the guests were involved in the design industry, everyone’s conversation centered


    around the next step of Kalel’s n after returning to the county. Everyone hoped he would coborate


    with someone notable and create gorgeous masterpieces.


    Jean stood before the stage and watched Kalel speaking charismatically. She suddenly did not know


    what to do.


    Hugo stood beside her and whispered, “Are you not going to approach him?”


    He knew she had been doing everything she could to attend this banquet so that she could put down


    the rumors.


    Now, the opportunity was finally before her. If she did not grab it, she would miss the chance.


    “He is beyond my reach.”


    The eagerness in Jean’s eyes gradually faded. She turned around dejectedly and walked to a corner.


    Everyone here had coborated with Kalel before or was someone notable in the design field.


    On the other hand, she was embroiled in a giarism scandal.


    Thus, going to him recklessly would only incur humiliation.


    She had no way to refute the doubts and suspicions people had. Moreover, she could not produce any


    evidence.


    Hugo saw her standing quietly at the back and went to her. “Didn’t youe here to prove yourself?


    Are you not going to do anything?”


    Jean pursed her lips. “I’m sorry for wasting your invitation.”


    “That’s not the point.”


    Hugo frowned and did not know how tofort her.


    Suddenly, Kalel pulled out a design draft. “I have no idea who sent this design to my studio. It’s a


    gorgeous piece of work. I’m looking for the designer who did this.”


    The lights dimmed, and the design draft appeared on arge screen.


    It was the design draft Jean gave to Edna.


    Then, someone said, “I see a logo on the paper. Isn’t that La Laux?”


    “It must be them who sent it.”


    Jean froze. That’s my design draft!


    Even though Edna did not use itmercially, exposing it this way meant Jean could no longer use the


    design.


    If Jean had not witnessed this with her own eyes, she would have had a hard time believing that such a


    shameless person existed.


    Someone said, “If you ask me, the design doesn’t seem like La Laux’s designer’s style. Furthermore,


    there’s no signature on it.”


    Kalel nodded. “I feel the same. Therefore, I have a bold idea. Mypany will organize a fashion


    designpetition reality show. Anyone interested is wee to participate!”


    “A fashion design reality show?”


    The guests at this banquet had made some name for themselves in the design industry. Thus, they


    only smiled upon hearing the news.


    They had other ways to make their names known and did not have to join a reality show.


    If they embarrassed themselves on the show, they would be aughingstock among their peers.


    “The investor is a long-time coborator of my studio, so everyone has nothing to worry about.”


    “As for the first prize, I’m considering organizing a fashion showcase for the winner or offering a


    handsome sum.”


    “Whoa!”


    “If I get to have a fashion show with Kalel…”


    Everyone began to show interest.


    Kalel’s studio had ceased all coboration in recent years. Ever since the fashion show three years


    ago, he barely appeared in the design scene.


    This showcase may be hisst before retirement.


    The crowd buzzed with excitement again.


    Jean stared at the screen. Is this my chance? Kalel liked one of my designs and gave it a high rating.


    But… I’m not sure whether I can create something like that again.


    I drew that in a sudden sh of inspiration.


    “All right, everyone. Let’s enjoy tonight’s party to the fullest!”


    Jean held a champagne ss, but her mind was busy thinking about the design draft. Hugo noticed


    how distracted she was and asked, “Would you like me to send you home?”


    Jean thanked him softly and said, “I would like to stay a little longer.”


    She was not her usual self.


    Hugo followed her line of sight and looked at the design draft on the screen. “It’s yours, right?”


    “How did you know?” Jean was surprised.


    Hugo answered confidently, “I can see from how you look at it that it’s something precious to you.”


    He understood that kind of feeling.


    “Why didn’t you im it?”


    Hugo narrowed his eyes and looked at Jean curiously. While she kept a low profile, she would not let


    others take advantage of her.


    “I will im it only after I win first ce.” Jean’s heart burned with determination.


    She wanted to win.


    It was unlike when she was at MON & Co. At the time, she wanted to win to seek revenge against


    Edgar.


    Now, she wanted to win for herself and obtain a new start.


    Meanwhile, at Royden Group.


    “Mr. Royden, this is Pinnacle Group’s investment trend in the past three years and the projects they


    took part in. I couldn’t find any problems. Everything’s perfect.”


    Edgar did not bother to look at the folder Mr. Gibson, the project manager, gave him.


    He looked at Mr. Gibson sternly.


    “Have you ever seen a perfect performance since you started in this industry?”


    Mr. Gibson answered immediately, “No.”


    Even Royden Group had never achieved such perfect results.


    Edgar tapped his fingers on the table. “Bring me the documents for the projects Pinnacle Group


    proposed to coborate with us.”
