Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Identical
Jones George confirmed several times before he reported: "And, Miss Charlotte Thompson is now a participating designer in the jewelery contest."
Charlotte Thompson...
Justin Battleson was taken aback.
The woman who looks just like Sophie Allen.
She’s flamboyant, gorgeous, and spirited...
Even without uttering a word, she grabs attention quickly.
Justin’s dark gaze faltered, he shut his laptop, stood up to adjust his suit, and walked straight out.
"To the venue."
"Yes!" Jones George followed immediately.
...
The competition site.
Evelyn Curtis’s nitpicking was only a small interlude in this round.
Charlotte Thompson and the other designers have all renewed their energy, preparing for the second round of the competition.
The second round of competition began, and the venue was still filled to capacity.
Compared to the last round, where the arena was filled with Evelyn Curtis’s fans, now there was an extra professional audience who came solely for the design.
The rule for the second round of competition was to design and craft jewelry on-site, and the designer whose piece received the most votes would win.
"Now the contestants can choose materials for their own production."
With the host’s command, the competition began in full swing.
Everyone rushed to the front, fearing they would be late to get the materials they want.
A designated area in the venue was stocked with plenty of jewelery materials for the contestants to choose from.
Knowing the comments about her on the internet, Evelyn Curtis was distracted during recording, forgetting to manage her facial expressions in front of the camera several times.
In stark contrast, Charlotte Thompson was focused on searching for the materials she wanted at the display stand.
A blue gemstone caught her eye, and she had the prototype of her work in mind at first glance.
She would use that sapphire as the main theme, and accessorize with some pearls and tassels to create a gemstone ruyi scepter.
With the popularity of national style, her design would surely stand out among the many works.
Just as she reached out, a fair hand appeared out of nowhere, also aiming for the sapphire.
Caught off guard, both of their hands touched the gemstone at the same time, and it was unclear who it belonged to for a moment.
"I saw it first."
The contestant stared at her confrontationally, not polite at all.
It was as if she had already claimed this sapphire.
The organizers were indeed ruthless, preparing only one of each type of gemstone.
However, it was justified to avoid repetitions in design.
"You take it, I’ll look for something else."
After hesitating for only a second, Charlotte Thompson let go, generously giving up the sapphire.
The contestant didn’t show any gratitude, quickly snatching the sapphire, fearing Charlotte Thompson would change her mind.
On the competition stage, no one intended to give way to anyone else, the competitive spirit was strong.
Charlotte Thompson didn’t care much, it was just a sapphire, snatching it back and forth was a waste of time.
"This is the generosity a good designer should have."
"There isn’t even a thank you, poorly-mannered people can’t design good products."
"Poor Charlotte Thompson, you must show them."
"I’m rooting for Charlotte Thompson, others as you like!"
"+1+1"
"+10087"
Charlotte Thompson’s non-competitive character appealed to the netizens, prompting another wave of supportive comments.
Time was ticking, and she was empty handed, without even a proper piece of jewelry picked out.
The audience silently cheered for her, even though she couldn’t see the comments, they were still supporting her behind the scenes.
