Chapter 365:

“Dewy Hibiscus is simply breathtaking!” exclaimed a notable socialite. “Truly, its design marvelously merges diamond brilliance with the essence of femininity,” remarked a gentleman from the crowd.

Color drained from Kyla’s face as she absorbed the reality—the necklace was Sadie’s work.

She whipped her head towards Sadie, only to find her still sporting that serene, knowing smile, as if she had orchestrated the evening’s events.

“Ms. Shaw, your necklace is absolutely stunning!” a reporter called out eagerly. “Could you reveal the mastermind behind its design?”

With a subtle smile, Eva turned her attention to Sadie.

“The creator of the Dewy Hibiscus is none other than Sandra,” she announced, directing all acclaim her way.

As the applause thundered throughout the hall, all eyes turned to Sadie, celebrating her design.

Kyla’s cheeks burned with embarrassment. She felt utterly humiliated by the turn of events.

All her meticulous preparations had turned into a joke.

She bit her bottom lip so fiercely it nearly drew blood, her fingernails pressed into her palms.

“Ms. Shaw, the Dewy Hibiscus necklace you’re wearing is simply stunning,” a well-dressed gentleman commented as he approached Eva. “May I ask how you chose this jewelry set?”

Eva ran her fingers over the necklace, her eyes alight with appreciation.

“The Dewy Hibiscus isn’t just beautifully designed. It also incorporates elements from Helva’s traditional art. Sandra’s sketches brought a wonderful surprise to the set.”

“And this adorable Samoyed accompanying you…” The gentleman’s attention shifted to the dog, adorned with a necklace by Kyla.

Eva feigned surprise, raising her eyebrows.

“This little one? It’s dressed up especially for tonight.”

“I meant its necklace…” The gentleman faltered, his query fading into awkwardness.

“This piece?” Eva laughed, stroking the Samoyed’s head. “It’s from a young designer. Although the design might be somewhat elaborate, the quality of materials is superb. It suits my furry friend perfectly here.”

Eva’s offhand comments seemed to make the floor beneath Kyla disappear. She felt the weight of scornful, pitying, and even gleeful glances from around the room.

Noah’s face grew stern.

“Noah…” Kyla whispered, tugging at his sleeve, her voice quivering with emotion.

Noah, however, ignored her.

Just then, a sharp voice pierced the air, tinged with sarcasm.

“Ms. Shaw, don’t you find this somewhat disrespectful?”

All eyes turned toward the source, spotting a woman clad in a sleek black gown striding elegantly toward them.

Her features exuded confidence, and the crowd recognized her as Vivi, the chief designer at Majestic Ego.

Vivi’s presence added to the already electric atmosphere.

Eva responded with a dismissive look, her voice dripping with condescension.

“This belongs to me. How I use it is my concern alone. Miss Quinn, perhaps you should keep your opinions to yourself and focus on your own matters.”

Vivi was caught off guard by Eva’s forthrightness, her expression hardening.

She inhaled deeply, attempting to keep her composure intact.
