    Chapter: 424


    The corners of Laurel''s mouth twitched in dissatisfaction. “I don’t think those judges are qualified to appraise Nancy’s ne.


    They have terrible tastes.”


    Finally, the tense atmosphere reached its peak when Simon went to the center again.


    “To our distinguished judges, please cast your votes now by cing a crystal next to your chosen piece of work.”


    Under everyone’s scrutiny, four judges ultimately decided to cast their votes for Millie’s Light in the Dark.


    Nancy’s Snow Diamond received exactly one vote.


    “The Light in the Dark’s enigmatic color schemepletely hypnotized and inspired me.”


    “While | do like Nancy’s design, | find myself drawn more to Millie’s Light in the Dark.”


    “The Light in the Dark is simply remarkable. It’s a work of art in its own right. | was blown away by it the moment | saw it.”


    Afterward, Simon dered enthusiastically, “Congrattions to Millie! Her Light in the Dark won with four votes. It’s aplete


    and total victory!”


    The crowd then erupted in roaring apuse.


    For a moment, Millie appeared to be in a trance. Did she actually win? Did she really defeat Nancy?N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    Truthfully, she was not one hundred percent confident in her victory up until the moment the votes were counted. It was because


    Nancy’s Snow Diamond was very impressive, too.


    Mrs. Barton got to her feet, went over to Millie, and gave her a warm hug.


    “Congrattions! You really are one of a kind; you''re very talented. Your Light in the Dark is a very captivating piece of art. I’m


    going to buy it,” Mrs. Barton dered with an approving smile.


    She was taken aback by the younger woman’s performance. Her original n was to get Nancy toe down off her high horse


    while also providing Millie, a lesser-known jewelry designer, a chance topete against established names in the industry, with


    the hope that she would leam quickly and improve dramatically.


    As for Nancy, Mrs. Barton did not like how conceited she was, so she made herpete with someone less well-known to


    humble her. It was for her own good, too.


    People who thought highly of themselves never seeded, after all.


    However, the result took everyone by surprise. As things stood, it was clear that Millie’s potential as a jewelry designer was


    limitless.


    Millie replied humbly, “Mrs. Barton, | owe this chance to prove myself to you.”


    Mrs. Barton let go of Millie and walked up to Marcus, who stood up from his seat, and smiled brightly at him.


    “Mr. Thomas, I’m sure yourpany’s designers are all talented, but | think they could use some improvement. | don’t want to


    sound biased, but you should really consider Millie. She’s incredibly gifted.”


    Triggered by the statement, Nancy felt her cheeks heat up. At that moment, she wanted nothing more than for the ground to


    open up and swallow her whole.
