Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Something is Wrong
Most of the viewers sending comments are loyal fans of Evelyn Curtis, along with some random internet bystanders.
"What do you think, when are Justin and Evelyn Curtis getting married?"
"Maybe they’re already secretly wed?"
"Ahhh! We’re waiting for Dream Watson’s wedding!"
"Dream Watson, soar bravely, we’ll always follow you..."
"Dream Watson’s happiness is our happiness!"
"We’re so envious of Dream Watson! She’s about to become the enviable Mrs. Battleson!"
Whenever the camera wasn’t focused on Evelyn Curtis for a brief moment, Lucy showed her these comments on a cellphone.
The flood of flattering comments made her extraordinarily pleased.
Yes, this is exactly the reaction she wanted.
Especially when she saw netizens saying that she and Justin were a match made in heaven, a perfect couple, and that she was the enviable Mrs. Battleson. These comments made her feel a lot better, even after being upset by Charlotte.
...
Over at the designers’ side.
Every designer was deep in thought, working continuously on their initial sketches.
All their brows were furrowed with concentration.
Only Charlotte was calm and composed, her hand gracefully wielding her pencil and sketching with confidence.
The photographers couldn’t resist capturing her focused profile.
"This number 10 designer is so composed!"
"True, compared to the others, she’s so confident."
"She’s both beautiful and talented, it’s killing me!"
"Yes, Designer No. 10, Charlotte, is simply beautiful."
The host responded to these comments with a smile, "Indeed, compared to the other designers, our number 10, Charlotte, appears calm. I wonder what kind of surprise Designer Charlotte will spring on us in the end? Stay tuned!"
On hearing Charlotte’s name, Evelyn Curtis’s face changed slightly, and she felt very uncomfortable. But with the camera on her, she had to suppress her urge to roll her eyes.
She picked up the microphone on purpose and forced a smile, "I see that too! Number 10, I’m rooting for you!"
Her voice was affectedly sweet, almost making Charlotte upchuck her lunch.
Inside, she couldn’t help but scoff, no wonder Evelyn had climbed up the entertainment industry ladder so quickly in just five years.
This vixen really had a talent for putting on a show.
She really was blind before, not seeing such acting talent in Evelyn Curtis!
She vowed to slowly settle the scores with her about the resentment of the past.
...
An hour had passed, leaving only half an hour before the end of the initial design sketching.
The competition at this stage could be described as intensely heated. Every designer was absolutely focused, leaving no room for slack.
And Charlotte, as always, was the picture of composure.
The rumor was, the winner of this competition would sign a contract with Vanguard Jewelry and become a featured designer.
Vanguard Jewelry was among the most luxurious top-tier brands in the jewelry industry, offering excellent benefits — no wonder everyone was so determined to compete.
But Charlotte didn’t care about it too much.
She entered the competition simply to confront Evelyn Curtis and Justin Battleson. Winning or losing was not important to her.
Five years ago, after listening to Jason Thompson, she had left Druarus. At that time, she, who was six months pregnant, had no choice but to let Evelyn Curtis go.
She knew Justin’s abilities and, with Justin protecting Evelyn, she didn’t want the Thompson family to get involved in this conflict.
Moreover, she wanted to take her revenge personally.
Remaining silent for five years didn’t mean she dropped her grievances for a lifetime.
Evelyn Curtis was the initiator of Aunt Watson’s demise.
She had to avenge this no matter what.
Moreover, that was not all.
Five years ago, she gave birth to triplets. She thought the children were fathered by Williams Charlie and had accepted it.
However, as her eldest son Cyrus Thompson grew older, she began to sense something was wrong.
