    Chapter 346 Signing Up for the Golden Brush Competition


    “What’s your n?” Kylie asked, staring at Joanna.


    As long as it could embarrass Nicole, she was willing to do anything.


    Pulling out a drawer, Joanna then took out a stack of design drafts. “These are the draft designs


    collected for this season.”


    As she spoke, she picked out a draft from the stack, ced it on the desk, and passed it to Kylie.


    Confused, Kylie lowered her head and took a look at it. The design could only be deemed as proper—


    not bad—but there weren’t any highlights or problems with it, either.


    “What’s this?”


    “This is a draft I had turned down because it giarized earlier works of Aimee International. However,


    that’s a design from a long time ago, and I only happen to see it by chance. If it’s someone else, I’m


    afraid they won’t be able to see it immediately. If this is sent to Aimee International…”


    It hadn’t been a long time since Aimee International explored the international market, and it was a


    clothing brand that suddenly emerged three years ago, known for its bold designs that attracted a lot of


    young people.


    Very quickly, they prated the market abroad, and within the years, they were able to establish


    themselves in the fashion industry.


    It was the ability and potential of thepany that attracted the interest of Gardner Corporation, and


    they didn’t mind spending a huge amount of money just to coborate with them. If the coboration


    was ruined by Nicole, it’d put a lot of parties in a difficult situation, even if Colton helped her out.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Without a doubt, Nicole would be kicked out by that bunch of conservatives in Gardner Corporation.


    A sparkle danced in Kylie’s eyes. As long as Nicole had signed the agreement, this draft would


    definitely end up in the hands of Aimee International, and they could definitely recognize an old design


    of theirs.


    “Everyone in the fashion industry frowns upon giarism. If Nicole is used of this, Aimee


    International can totally sue her. Then, that will be the end of her!”


    With a sneer on her face, Joanna leaned back. Previously when she saw this design draft, this idea


    had alreadye to her mind. Anyway, she wasn’t the one who drew this draft, and she could simply


    find another scapegoat at that time to bear the punishment together with Nicole. For herself, she would


    be reprimanded without suffering any losses.


    “Of course. It’s Nicole’s assistant who’s helping her to go through the contracts now, and she definitely


    can’t see the problem in it!”


    Then, they shared a gaze with each other and giggled tacitly.


    …


    Meanwhile, Nicole basically lived at Julia’s research center. Setting aside all other thoughts, she


    nned to recover her medical skills properly.


    Unbeknownst to her, because she wasn’t at Gardner Corporation for a long time, the people there were


    already up to no good.


    The biggest event in the design world now was the Golden Brush Competition, which was just around


    the corner.


    At Pinnacle Group, because Olivia had pped Mason thest time, only then did Bradley pass most


    of his authority to him, and the first thing he did after getting power was sign Nicole up for the Golden


    Brush Competition under the name of Pinnacle Group.


    Someone purposely released Nicole’s speech when she won the award four years ago, together with a


    paragraph which roughly questioned Nicole’s right to enter the nextpetition after F&M Apparel fired


    her.


    But such a simple thing was able to kick up quite a fuss. After all, Nicole had a reputation in the design


    industry, and she lost her qualification to enter thepetition after this ruckus.


    Some designers evenmented sarcastically beneath. ‘Well, she’s the one who wanted to leave


    F&M Apparel and even said that it’s for the development of the domestic clothing industry. Ha! She


    probably wanted to give herself a noble reason for changing employers.’


    ‘Exactly. F&M Apparel has a long history. Without thispany, who would hear about Lisa? She’s


    clearly burning the bridge after crossing it!’


    There were so many more, but the reason Nicole was able to provoke so many negativements


    was simple—she had risen too fast, and that would make anyone jealous!


    However, Joanna wasn’t happy to see the reactions on the Inte. Well, this was only the entrée at


    the beginning, and the real main dish was yet to be served!


    Nicole, I would like to see how you’re going to turn things around this time!
