As the person approached, his handsome features became clearer and clearer. Violet’s feet felt like she was under a spell. She


    was rooted in ce and unable to move.


    Even though they hadn’t seen each other in two years, Violet recognized Freddie at a nce.


    She was too familiar with Freddie.


    Watching Freddie approach, Violet seemed to suddenly realize something. She turned abruptly and faced the wall. Her whole


    body stiffened to the


    extreme.


    When they parted two years ago, she never imagined she would meet Freddie again in this lifetime.


    Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Freddie brush past her from behind. Violet immediately turned around and strode toward


    the lounge as if something was chasing her from behind.


    Freddie took a few steps. As if sensing something, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and couldn''t help but turn around.


    He saw a girl with somewhat flustered footsteps and couldn’t help but furrow his brow.


    This girl’s silhouette was so much like Violet’s, except Violet seemed to be not as tall as her.


    He watched for a few seconds, then turned to look for Wendy.


    Inside the lounge, Violet entered in a fluster, and Skyler looked somewhat surprised. “Violet, what''s wrong?”


    Violet was taken aback and quickly shook her head. “Nothing. I’m just afraid of missing the boarding, so | walked a bit faster!”


    Skyler nodded. “It’s about time. Let’s board the ne!”


    It wasn’t until they were on the ne that Violet finally breathed a sigh of


    Ill

    relief.

    What happened back in that year had made her extremely embarrassed,


    and she never wanted to face such a situation again in her life.


    On the ne, Violet slept all the way.


    After getting off the ne, they went directly to the hotel that thepany had arranged.


    Azure City had a climate like spring all year round, with an abundance of flowers, nts, and greenery, making it very suitable for


    living.


    Violet fell in love with this warm city the moment she got off the ne.


    However, they were here for apetition, so Violet didn’t wander around aimlessly. She stayed in the hotel to rest.


    The next day, Skyler took them to visit thepetition venue.


    After seeing thepetition venue, Violet returned to the hotel, nning to rest well and face thepetition with renewed vigor


    tomorrow.


    However, in the evening, Skyler came to her and said, “Violet, all the designers are getting together for dinner tonight to get to


    know each. other. The judges from the judging panel will also be there. Get ready. We''ll leave togetherter!”


    Violet nodded. In this situation, it wasn’t appropriate to do anything out of the ordinary, or else she would be ostracized by


    everyone.


    She changed into a different outfit. After Skyler knocked on the door again, they left together.


    Designers from various ces went to the dinner ce together.


    For this dinner, it was said to be an opportunity for everyone to get to know each other, but in reality, it was to treat the judges


    from the judging panel.


    Violet, along with Skyler and Ellie, arrived at the Sunny May Hotel in Azure City.


    J


    Violet looked a bit surprised. “At Sunny May Hotel?”


    Skyler nodded. “Yes, when | received the message, | was a bit surprised too. It’s actually the Stanton family’s hotel! But it’s


    normal, considering that the Stanton family’s Sunny May Hotel is the main sponsor of this jewelrypetition. It makes sense


    that the dinner is at the Stanton family’s hotel!”


    Violet nodded. She didn’t want to talk much about the Stanton family.


    However, Ellie kept chattering beside them, thinking she knew a lot. She had an envious expression on her face. “Mr. Brown, |


    heard from a friend that the eldest son of the Stanton family returned to the country a few days ago! Is heing back to take


    over the family business?”


    Skyler knew that Violet didn’t like discussing this topic, so his tone became more subdued. “Hmm, maybe. I’m not sure either.”


    As Skyler and Violet didn’t show much interest, Ellie’s eyes flickered, and she awkwardly fell silent.


    The three of them arrived at the private room prepared by the hotel.


    There were threerge round tables in the room, each able to seat eleven people, which was just about right.


    There were five judges, twenty-three participating designers, and various regional leaders. The seats should be enough.


    The jewelry designers participating in thepetition had arrived early and were waiting in the private room for the judges from


    the panel to


    arrive.


    Violet was never fond of these kinds of gatherings and seemed a bit distracted.


    Then, someone pushed open the door and entered. “Everyone, get up quickly. The judges are here!”


    Violet stood up with everyone and looked at the door.


    The private room door was pushed open, and five judges walked in one


    T


    after another.


    When Violet''s gaze fell on thest young judge to enter, she was instantly stunned.
