Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 335

Aside from their acuity, the designers’ powers of observation and ability to capture minute details would also be put to the test. This also meant that they’d be provided with an even better platform to display their talents at the end of the competition.

Leanna looked around, but as she withdrew her gaze, her eyes locked on a pair of dark, quiet eyes. Speechless, she asked in a whisper, “Why are you here?”

Aidan placed his arm on the back of her chair while cocking an eyebrow. “Didn’t I tell you that the Pearson Group is hosting this year’s competition?”

Leanna looked at him with a sneer. “Perhaps you were too busy with other things to tell me about it.” This b*stard must’ve done this on purpose.

Just then, the host’s voice rang again from the stage. As a last-minute change to the rules of the competition, a few of Highside’s well-known socialites and heiresses were invited to be judges for the competition. The scores they gave would account for 10 out of 100 marks that each designer could receive in the competition.

Having grown up surrounded by all kinds of jewelry, these rich ladies had their own super-high standards when it came to the pursuit of jewelry.

This was because she had first spotted Georgina and Violet among the few rich ladies. So God has opened a window for me while plugging up all the ventholes. How exciting.

Aidan followed her gaze. Knowing what she was worried about, he said impassively, “Your work did earn the organizers’ recognition, or they wouldn’t have sent you the invitation. Even if they give you a low score out of malice, it won’t have much effect on you. And besides, I’m here, no?”

Leanna kept smiling. “In that case, President Pearson, why do you think they’ll give me a low score?”
