Just a moment ago, Joseph overheard those people belittling Ashley. He rolled up his sleeves, ready to confront them, but Jaden


    beat him to it.


    Now that Jaden had intimidated those individuals, Joseph had nothing left to retort. He took out his phone, opened the video


    mode, and captured Ashley’s design sketches to show Valentinter.


    On the stage, Eric looked at Ashley with disdain. “You used less than. twenty minutes. What good design can you create?


    Disying it would. only be a disgrace to yourself!”


    Ashley nced at him lightly and said, “So what? You don’t even dare to look at the design | drew in less than twenty minutes?”


    Eric lost his tongue. He sat up straight and red at Ashley angrily. “I don’t dare to look? Let me tell you, | joined this design


    exchange to challenge Attelia! Who knows, maybe | can even surpass Attelia now. Do you think I’m afraid of an unknown


    designer like you?


    ‘Since you''re not afraid of making a fool of yourself and not afraid of further embarrassing the Zyrrinthia Team, then go ahead


    and showcase. your design! | defy what earth-shattering masterpiece you can create in twenty minutes!”


    Eric deliberately emphasizes the word “masterpiece,” making it obvious. he was being sarcastic.


    Ashley sized Eric up. It wasn’t until this moment that she looked at him directly. Her tone suddenly became icy. “Challenging


    Attelia? You''re not qualified.”


    After saying that, Ashley prepared to showcase her design sketch.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    Next to her, Jessica, seeing Ashley about to disy her design, felt a sudden surge of anxiety.


    Having stolen Ashley’s previous design works, she knew better than anyone that Ashley was exceptional in fashion design.


    Now, if Ashley drew exceptionally well this time and defeated Eric...


    ‘No!’ The mere thought was hard for Jessica to ept.


    She had just lost to Eric, and if Ashley won against him right after, her newly improved reputation would once again take a hit.

    11:10D


    Jessica looked evil at this moment, as if she harbored a sinister n.


    She would rather see the Zyrrinthia Team lose to the Global Team, have Eric look down on the designers from Zyrrinthia, and


    have the


    reputation of the Zyrrinthia design industry insulted by foreigners than see Ashley surpass Eric!


    Since Jessica was the 5th designer of the Zyrrinthia Team, and Ashley was the 6th, Jessica was sitting right next to Ashley.


    Seeing Ashley about to showcase her design, Jessica immediately picked up a bottle of water from the table and pretended to


    take a sip. And when putting it back, she intentionally pushed it outward. Suddenly, the bottle tipped over as the cap wasn’t


    tightened, and water sshed out.


    Aconsiderable amount of water sshed onto Ashley''s design sketch.


    The design draft was made of paper. As the water droplets sshed, the design drawn on it instantly blurred and spread out.


    The unexpected turn of events left everyone present stunned.


    As if just realizing she had “identally” knocked over the water bottle, Jessica quickly stood up, wearing a look of guilt, almost


    on the verge of tears. “I’m sorry, Ashley. | identally spilled the water bottle just now, and the water sshed onto your design


    sketch... I’m really sorry!”


    Ashley narrowed her eyes, looking at Jessica expressionlessly.


    Although that gaze seemed tock force, Jessica felt her heart suddenly tighten. Ashley''s nce was like a sharp ice de. The


    moment Ashley looked at her, Jessica felt as if her heart had been clenched. It frightened. her to the point that her breath


    stopped for several seconds, and an involuntary chill ran down her spine.


    Witnessing Ashley''s design sketches getting wet, the audience below became even more pessimistic...


    They already thought that Ashley couldn’t win against Eric with a designpleted in just twenty minutes. Now, with the design


    got wet, it seemed even more impossible.


    A judge impartially said, “Designer No. 6, your design sketch got wet. Why not change the paper and redraw your previous


    design?”


    Since the drawing was wet and the pigment blotted, it would affect the overall presentation.


    Chapter 122


    Ashley lowered her gaze to the blotting-out pigment on the paper. She picked up a fine silver pen from the side and casually


    drew something her draft. Then, she calmly said, “No need to redraw. Let it be like this.”


    As she finished her words, the entire venue fell into stunned silence.


    Especially Eric on the stage. After his initial surprise, he burst into merciless mockery. “It’s your own choice not to redraw. Don’t


    make excuses if you loseter!”


    The other five designers from the Global Team now felt even more confident.


    “Eric, it looks like you''ll win again! With her design sketch in this condition, how could she possiblypete with you?”


    “Now it’s easy. The five of us don’t even need to showcase our designs. Eric alone has won against all the members of the


    Zyrrinthia Team. Hahaha!”


    The designers from Zyrrinthia in the audience felt increasingly ufortable when they heard these harsh taunts.


    “Does Ashley have a problem? Why didn’t she choose to redraw? Now, she’s made our Zyrrinthia design industry even more


    embarrassing!”


    “| really can’t stand it. Ashley is such an idiot. Why doesn’t she focus on being a celebrity bute to make trouble in our design


    industry?”


    As the irritable designer ranted, Jaden cast a cold re in his direction.


    Feeling intimidated by Jaden’s influence, the designer immediately shut. his mouth but still looked unconvinced.


    On the side, Joseph had been recording the whole process, capturing the moment when Jessica intentionally knocked over the


    water bottle.


    Joseph was furious, almost exploding with anger. Just as he was about to expose Jessica’s malicious actions publicly, Ashley


    disyed her design. sketch on therge screen!


    The audience below, who had been disheartened andcking


    expectations for Ashley, absentmindedly turned their gaze toward therge screen, hoping that this embarrassingpetition


    would end soon.


    However, the previouslyining audience suddenly fell silent as they saw Ashley’s design sketch on the big screen.


    Chapter 122


    On the stage, Eric, who had been arrogantly watching, became frozen in the next moment. His contemptuous expression froze


    on his face.


    It was a gown that was so captivating that it could attract everyone’s attention at a nce.


    The borate and gorgeous ck gown was stained by pigment and resembled the vast night sky. Silver strokes on the dress


    outlined. diamond-like sparkling lights resembling the stars in the night sky. The stars, shining brightly, seemed to drape the Milky


    Way on it.


    Though the hemline of the gown was dampened by water and looked muddy, the contrast between the muddy part and the


    splendid. magnificence of the dress on the upper part created a vivid and striking effect, capturing the minds of everyone


    present.


    Even if immersed in mud, one still looked up to the stars!


    Who could be worthy of wearing such an astonishing gown?


    Not a single sound could be heard in the vast venue, and silence filled the


    air.


    After several tens of seconds, the audience below slowly recovered from the amazement. However, their eyes were still fixed on


    therge screen disying Ashley’s design sketch, hesitant to even blink.


    “It''s so beautiful!”


    “This gown is designed so perfectly and is so shocking! Ashley is actually this amazing?”


    “Ashley created such an excellent design sketch in less than twenty minutes. I’m not exaggerating. She’s more talented than all


    the designers present!”


    “And this design draft was even sshed with water. Ashley disyed her talents on the spot, casually making a few strokes to


    turn the situation around. What kind of terrifying talent is this?”


    The audiences who had looked down on Ashley moments ago were now thoroughly conquered by her design. They forgot how


    they had criticized her and started praising her.


    Eric''s expression instantly turned extremely unpleasant.


    He had initially thought this Ashley was not worth mentioning, but now,


    475.


    11:10


    even in such an unfavorable situation, she had presented such a stunning piece.


    As a designer, Eric could discern that Ashley''s design sketch was of a caliber that could rival Attelia, the legendary figure in the


    current design world!


    Without the need for discussion, the five judges on the stage. simultaneously held up their scoring cards to give their marks.
