Emily couldn’t be sure, “Mrs. Salter, we really can’t interfere with the matters of the younger
generation.”
“Indeed.”
News of Grace’s hospitalization spread, but very few went to visit.
The Salter family was then under the control of Marcel Salter and his mother.
Those who were friendly with Grace didn’t dare to visit.
Even Joie hadn’t shown up.
However, it was rumored that Leda had a car ident and broke a leg after Grace was hospitalized.
Upon hearing the news, Brittany suspected that Isaac was involved, but there was no proof.
Marcel and Isaac were locked in a bitter struggle, and Brittany was too preupied to care. She was
entirely focused on the Crown Jewel Design Challenge
When Brittany was announced as a judge, it stirred up quite a storm on social media.
“Is Brittany really qualified to be a judge?”
“Are you kidding? She’s the founder of our country’s top jewelry brand. Her designs sell for a fortune. If
that doesn’t qualify her to be a judge, what does?”
“I love Brittany’s designs, but she’s so young. And there’s a potential conflict of interest since her studio
is participating in thepetition.”
Suchments flooded in, but Brittany logged out of her social media ounts and concentrated on
thepetition.
Thepetition was divided into preliminary, semi-final, and final rounds.
The judging panel wasprised of well-known domestic jewelry designers, the oldest of whom was
nearly thirty years older than Brittany.
As the yearly Crown Jewel Design Challenge kicked off, countless designers participated, pushing the
total number of contestants into the tens of thousands.
At thepetition.
Tens of thousands of design drafts were submitted to the judges. The five judges reviewed each one,
selecting the most promising entries.
Brittany was a first-time judge, while the other four were veterans.
In the office, Brittany greeted everyone individually.
The most seasoned judge was named Aubrey, a top-tier jewelry designer who had taught at Imperial
University.
Aubrey had once been Brittany’s professor. Their reunion was particrly warm.
Aubrey shook Brittany’s hand, “It’s been a while, Brittany.”
Brittany was one of Aubrey’s most promising students. Despite a scandal that had once tarnished her
reputation, Brittany had persevered and seeded, much to Aubrey’s
satisfaction.
“I’m delighted to see you again, Aubrey.”
“Aubrey, do you two know each other?” Another judge seemed surprised and asked.
“Yes, Brittany was one of my students.” Aubrey smiled, “Let’s get to work. We can catch upter.”

“Sounds good.”
The judges took their seats and began reviewing the designs.
The designs for the preliminary round were anonymous, only revealing their creators in the final tally..
Aubrey was notoriously picky, but Brittany was even more so.
After three days and nights, the judges selected over six hundred designs from the tens of thousands
of submissions for the semi-finals.
As they finished reviewing thest design, a weary Aubrey said, “Finally, it’s over.”
After looking at so many designs, Brittany was equally exhausted. “Aubrey, it’s gettingte. I’m going
home. How about dinner tomorrow night?”
Aubrey had a lot she wanted to discuss with Brittany, so she agreed.
Brittany said goodbye to everyone and left the studio.
When she got home, Brittany ate something and was about to go to bed when her phone rang.
“Bri, it’s Lucas.”
Lucas’s voice came through the line, clear in her ear.
