Out of precaution, Yvonne had decided to do an ultrasound scan before leaving the country next month. The child inside her was already seven weeks old. They could even hear its heartbeat. However, there was bleeding in her womb, a precursor sign of miscarriage. The doctor advised her to rest more and not overwork herself.However, it was one of the busiest times for her, and there was much that she needed to do. Yvonne placed her hand on her abdomen and secretly muttered, "Dear baby, please be strong. I can't stop right now …"She pursed her lips and collected herself. She put on her sunglasses and returned to Miller Jewels.The moment she entered her office, Caleb came to look for her with some documents in his hands. "Ms. Miller, this is an introduction to Turner Tech. There's also a draft contract. Have a look at it. Let us know if you have any requests. I will fulfill all of them." Caleb passed the documents to Yvonne, smiling widely. Yvonne calmly looked at him. "You can put
Yvonne was a little irked. "Don't you know what I meant before?" That had just been an excuse for her to say that she didn't want to talk about it!Caleb cocked his head and smiled a little. "It's fine if you don't want to talk. Have something sweet. Perhaps your mood will get better."Since he put it that way, Yvonne had no reason to refuse him. Moreover, she'd noticed Lloyd drooling at the cake."Alright, thank you." Yvonne accepted the cake and coffee. "I've already seen your proposal. It's indeed quite enticing, but …""You don't have to worry about Stephen. I won't let him interfere or get close to you." Caleb's assurance caught her off guard. He continued, "I really want to help you. I was glad when I found out about this opportunity. I hope you can give me a chance to repay the favor."Seeing how sincere he looked, Yvonne hesitated a little. "We'll have to decide this in the meeting.""Alright, I'll wait to hear back from you." Caleb generously gave Yvonne space and time.
While Andy was worried, Kayla was already fantasizing about winning the gold prize. She'd dreamed about it consecutively for a few nights, and it seemed so real every time.That day, she was going to Jones Jewels to look at samples. If they were done well, they could soon be sent to the factory to be made in bulk. Then, sales of her work would shoot through the roof thanks to the buzz of her winning.Kayla was in a good mood, so she headed to Jones Jewels early. By the time she finished looking at the samples and having a meeting, it was lunchtime.As of late, Thomas had been very happy with Kayla. When the meeting ended, he asked Kayla to join him for lunch at a restaurant nearby. Kayla held Thomas' arm and walked out of the main entrance when a woman suddenly approached them, scaring them both."Ms. Jones, it's me. I've been waiting for your call. I thought you must be busy and didn't have the time to find me, so I came here looking for you instead."Kayla looked at the woman
During the competition, the anonymous contestant who was predicted to win first place was the hot topic of discussion on the internet. Many people speculated that the person must be some professional designer secretly trying to cause a nuisance. The only other person who could go head-to-head with the anonymous contestant was Kayla Jones.Naturally, the focus was on them both in the final round.The final round was held at night, unlike the other rounds. Once the jury determined the winner, the award ceremony would be broadcast live.The contestants were already resting backstage in the afternoon. Kayla was looking at the mirror, asking the makeup artist to pay more attention to her makeup. After all, she was going to be in the limelight that night. She was going to win!After her makeup was done, Kayla checked herself in the mirror closely while her makeup artist was on her phone."What? The designs have been leaked? Can the competition still continue despite such a serious pro
It was Kayla Jones!The person that everyone online had speculated as the most likely to win had come last! Her marks had a huge margin difference from fourth place too!Just by looking at her marks, one could guess how terrible her designs were. She shouldn't have screwed up at such a crucial moment! Finally, the competition winner was announced! Andy's name was shown on the screen with special effects. It immediately caused an uproar on the internet."Now this is a proper pro!""I've read up on him. He's the founder and Chief Designer of QT, the famous international brand!""Seeing the leaked design, one could see that it wasn't his work!"Then, the designs were shown on the screen according to their ranking. To everyone's surprise, Kayla's design was so much worse than her previous designs. Even the style was completely different! It didn't match up at all, so much so that it looked like two different people's work.Everyone was surprised by Andy's design too. It wasn't the
That night, Kayla returned home like a mad woman, maniacally throwing things on the floor. Monica couldn't do anything to her; she could only put her in her room and let her release her anger. When Monica returned to her room, she noticed that Thomas was still reading. She was instantly furious. "How are you still in the mood to read? Your daughter's going mad! What should I do now?"Thomas turned to look at Monica with an equally ugly expression. "Kayla used Tara's design in the competition. That in itself was already dangerous. Perhaps this might be a good thing for her.""What do you mean by a good thing? Have you gone mad?" Monica poked Thomas' head. "Did you not see the live broadcast? Yvonne stole all of Kayla's thunder! Miller Jewels had already been eliminated. That bitch was supposed to be done for."Just the thought of Yvonne made Monica see red. "I don't know what luck she has, getting mixed up with such an influential person like Andy and even sharing the award with hi
The next day, Jones Jewels released Kayla's designs amidst the discussion online. Although Kayla lost in the final round, her previous series of designs were indeed outstanding. All the while, they had gained huge popularity.Hence, as soon as it was released, it flew off the shelves. Within a night, it had broken the record for Jones Jewels' highest sales in history.However, before Thomas could properly celebrate, he received a court summons. He glanced through its contents, and his expression changed. He took the court summons straight to Yvonne.Yvonne had just finished a meeting when she saw Thomas coming at her in a huff of fury. Then he threw the letter at Yvonne.Yvonne reacted quickly and swerved. She glanced at Thomas coldly. "What do you mean by this?""That's my question exactly!" Thomas was furious. "Yvonne, I'm your father. How could you do this to me? You just want me to die! Are you really going to take this to court and make our family the butt of the joke of the
After a few rounds of meetings, all the executives at Miller Jewels decided unanimously that Turner Tech was the most suitable company to take them on as a client.Yvonne went ahead with it and invited Caleb to the office for a meeting. Caleb came prepared with the perfect presentation slides, smoothly convincing all of the executives. Miller Jewels and Turner Tech signed a contract on the spot, officially building up an online sales platform together.After the meeting, Caleb went over to Yvonne. "What's going on with Jones Jewels? Does it have something to do with you?""Why are you prying?" Yvonne looked at him, not planning to explain it to him. After all, once the court adjourned on Monday, the public would know about it.Caleb knowingly said, "I'm just curious. The news has been spreading like wildfire. There are all sorts of rumors. My instincts tell me that it has something to do with you."Yvonne said nothing. She merely continued to go through her documents and spoke to
