Chapter 375
After listening to Alisa, rence lifted his brows and realized the reason why Ste was so obsessed
with problems regarding the child.
She firmly believed that Dolores was in City N. Therefore, it was natural that she started to be
suspicious of other matters.
Alisa said uneasily, “Sir, will anything happen?”
rence recollected himself and replied calmly, “Nothing will happen.”
After he had finished his breakfast, rence entered the Rolls Royce parked outside the mansion.
Nathan said, “Mr. Conrad, Jeffrey has not been found yet. Mr. James’s staff stated that there was a
pool of blood at the scene. It is likely that Jeffrey…”
rence leaned back in the back seat and only said, “Keep a close watch on Charles. Once he has
made a move, tell me immediately.”
“Yes, Mr. Conrad.”
After some time, rence added, “Is there any clues regarding Adolph at the scene?”
Probably not expecting rence to suddenly mention the person, Nathan paused for a while, “Mr.
Conrad means…”
“Ste said that he had gone after Jeffrey.”
rence squinted. If Jeffrey was really taken away by Charles’s men, he should be fraught with
danger.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
A few momentster, rence then continued, “Look for him too during the search for Jeffrey. If he is
alive, bring him back along with Jeffery.”
Nathan nodded, “Yes, Mr. Conrad.”
……
On the day of the designers’ contest, not only the organizers and all the judges but also many media
reporters were at the venue. Everyone was waiting for the live broadcast of the contestter.
Ste and Modesty arrived at almost the same time. Thetter cast a disdainful look at Ste, withdrew
her eyes from her and strode away.
Ste grinned and sat down in her own seat.
Soon, all ten contestants had arrived and was waiting for the organizers to announce the names of the
contestants who entered the final round.
At the section where the press reporters were seated, there was a lively discussion as to who the
winner would be.
Whether it was Ste, Modesty or the other designers, they were all popr candidates of the contest.
Although Ste was a neer in the design industry, her works had already won the first ce in
designers’ contest three years ago. Even though she lost the opportunity to study abroad due to
objective reasons, she was gifted and had potential.
Moreover, when she made herebackst year, she signed a contract with the top domestic
jewellery magazine, SG Jewelry Magazine. She was the only designer at that time.
At the end of the year, she left SG Jewelry Magazine and created her own brand. Although it was not
considered as a high-end brand, it had be the favourite niche brand of many stars. The current
hottest award-winning actress, Winnie Truman, had been basically wearing pieces of this brand in
every event she had attended.
She was regarded as a dark house in the design industry. Nobody knew how far would she go, and
nobody knew how much of her talent had yet been showed to the world.
In regard to Modesty, her teacher was the design world’s top designer, Robert. During her three years
in Paris, she had already gained some fame. As of now, her design level and skill wasparable to
Ste.
As for other popr contestants, they had their respective strengths. It would be difficult to rank them in
a short time.
When everyone was having a lively discussion, the staff representing the organizers finally came on
stage, “Sorry for the long wait. The top three contestants in the previous round are finally finalized. The
finalists will be announced from the lowest ce, one by one…”
When he was speaking, he left a suspense and each word was stretched in his voice. His words had
left everyone hanging in midair.
When everyone was holding their breath nervously, the staff continued to speak, “Third ce, Ms.
Charlotte Boyce.”
There was a round of apuse from the audience. People around Charlotte congratted her. They
looked at her enviously but their eyes also showed sadness and helplessness.
Once some of them had handed in their designs, they already knew that they had no chance of
entering the final round.
With a smile on her face, Charlotte nodded at the people who congratted her to acknowledge their
words of congrattion. She thanked them one by one.
Immediately after that, the staff continued to announce the finalists, “Second ce, Ms. Radomil.”
In fact, everyone there had expected Ste to be ced second.
However, since she was ced second, the first ce would go to…
Everyone diverted their gaze to Modesty who had raised her chin slightly.
While everyone was looking at her, the staff said slowly, “First ce, Ms. Modesty Parker.”
The corners of her mouth quirked up. It seemed that she was not surprised that she got first ce. She
acted as if the title belonged to her all along.
At the judges table, one of the judges was ttering Robert. He said that it was no wonder that Modesty
was his student and she would be worthy of being his sessor and so on.
Robert had a satisfied smile on his face.
At that moment, the staff spoke again, “We will take a short break. Half an hourter, the three finalists
will enter the rooms over there. The three of you have three hours to design your pieces. When the
time is up, all the judges will give scores to your pieces and then choose the first ce of this
designers’ contest.”
In the direction pointed by the staff, there were three rooms. The walls of the rooms were made up of
transparent ss. The transparent walls indicated that the contest was open and transparent.
After the staff had gotten down the stage, Ste let out a breath and got up to go to the bathroom.
Just after she had taken two steps towards the bathroom, she saw Robert talking to Modesty. His facial
expression showed relief and appreciation. During their conversation, he nced at her in contempt.
The corners of Ste’s mouth quirked up. Finally, she found out where Modesty’s conceited and
arrogant personality came from. Since her father was a quiet and honest man, she had definitely
learned it from her master who was as proud as a peacock.
Ste withdrew her gaze and left.
Robert stopped smiling and asked coldly, “Are you fully ready?”
Modesty nodded her head, “I am fully ready.”
“As long as you maintain your level of performance steadily, everything will go well. Since you defeated
her in the previous stage and won the first ce, you can also triumph over her in the finals. As long as
you don’t make a mistake, I guarantee that you will be the champion of this contest!”
Modesty moved her lips and wanted to say something. However, she did not say anything in the end.
After telling her to perform well in the contest, Robert left.
Just after Robert had left, Arthur walked up to Modesty before she had the time to take a breath.
Modesty’s facial expression changed significantly all of a sudden and spoke under her breath, “Didn’t
we agree that I will give you the money after the contest? What are you doing here now?”
Arthurughed, “I havee here specially to congratte you.”
While speaking, he patted her on the shoulder. His hand purposely slid down her body from the
shoulder, “You are really nervous. You should rx.”
Modesty disdained to associate herself with people like him and pped his hand away without any
courtesy, “I don’t need your words of congrattion. This is what I deserve.”
Arthurughed loudly, “Yes, yes. You are right. You deserve to get the first ce.”
Although he wasughing, the hint of sarcasm in his words was apparent.
Modesty breathed in deeply and didn’t want to talk more nonsense with him. Just when she turned
around to leave, Arthur stuffed a room card into her bag, “After the contest has ended, I will wait for you
until you show up.”
