Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 578:

Vivi’s smile widened into a grin.

At last, it was Sadie’s turn to take the stage.

All eyes were on her as the audience wondered what this designer, who had dominated the international scene for three years, had in store for them.

Sadie held her chin high as she walked onto the stage—the epitome of gentle elegance and grace.

Unlike the other contestants, however, she didn’t place her work on the display table but held it up with her own hands.noveldrama

“Good day, judges, fellow participants, and everyone who has taken the time to join us here today,” Sadie’s voice was clear and pleasant. “I present to you my work, titled, ‘Rebirth.'”

She slowly opened the box she was holding.

By that point, everyone was on the edge of their seats, their eyes glued to the contents of the box.

Nestled in velvet was a dazzling piece of jewelry.

And it was completely different from the design draft Nanette had stolen from Sadie’s studio. It was a new design altogether.

The piece featured a rare blue diamond as the centerpiece, surrounded by countless small, white diamonds. From afar, it looked like a tiny constellation around a full moon.

The concept was simple enough, but it was crafted in a way that screamed modern grandeur.

“Whoa!”

“It’s stunning!”

“Now, that is a masterpiece!”

The discussion among the crowd grew louder and more animated. Both Vivi and Kyla were stunned in their seats, their jaws hanging open, their eyes wide with shock and disbelief.

“How… How is this possible?” Vivi mused aloud. “Her piece is completely different from the one before!”

“What the hell is going on?” Kyla exclaimed, equally bewildered by this unexpected turn of events.

They had both assumed that Sadie would present the stolen design. But here she was, showcasing a whole new creation, catching Vivi and Kyla off guard and effectively ruining their plans.

“Sadie, you… You actually…” Vivi pointed a trembling finger at Sadie, too furious to complete her sentence.

Sadie smirked at her. “Are you disappointed, Miss Quinn?” she asked, her voice calm yet mocking. “Did you really think I’d be foolish enough to fall into your trap?”

Vivi’s face turned ashen.

Not only had Sadie discovered their scheme, but she had also managed to thwart it altogether.

“Don’t get too smug, Sadie!” Vivi spat out. “So what if you made another design? That’s not a guarantee that you will win against me!”

“Is that so?” Sadie raised an eyebrow. “Like I kept saying, let’s wait for the results and see.”

Then she turned away from Vivi and faced the panel of judges. She proceeded to explain her design, down to the last detail.

As Sadie spoke passionately about her inspiration, a staff member suddenly rushed over to Garrett Schultz, the main judge, and whispered something in his ear.
