When Manual fire brand the news, he simply could believe i

He checked repeatedly to confirm whether the designer repressing the Brilliance was Selina

Upon moving a positive confirmation, the news had already spead throughout the industry. Everyone was buzzing about Bellance’s new designer. Selina–where did this remarkable talent come from? No one had heard of such a figure, who appeared seemingly out of nowhere to astonish everyone.

Even though Manuel knew there couldn’t be another Selina, and even though Selina could easily step into Brilliance with her marriage to Trevor Manuel had seen her designed bracelet with his own eyes and still he wanted to make sure. What there had been some mistake! How could Selina possess such ski

1. me. Does this news shock and surprise you? Did you think the country bumpkin you’ve always underestimated couldn’t possibly pass Cartier’s review?” Selina retorted

This is no joke, Selina. If you had someone else design for you and then claim the credit and infringe on the copyright, you are insulting the honor of all jewelry designer. This isn’t something you can trample over just because you’re married to Trevon and luve money. Manuel argued fervently.

Manuel had entered the Seld of jewelry design chasing his idol Angel The more he uncovered the beauty, the concepts, and

ught processes behind jewelry design, the more deeply he fell in love with the art, unable to extricate himself from

though Manuel was aware that behavior like Selina’s was rampant in the industry, he absolutely refused to let someone shared his blood–Selina–engage in such despicable acts. It disgusted him.

Selina had no fluctuations in emotion at that moment, not even a hint of a smile. To the Harvey family, she was nothing but a worthless character and the kind someone might believe capable of trading her body for a luxurious life, marrying into

alth merely to become a trophy wife, or even to buy honor with money, essentially a talentless straw bag without substance or ability

Facing Selina’s cold gaze, Manuel who had been so confrontational just moments ago, felt a chill spread through his body. sending shivers he couldn’t shake off.

Are you done? Co off. Selina taid articulately, launching each word like a sharp arrow aimed at her foe.

Manuel stood frozen, his body retreating of its own accord.

At that moment, the designated driver Selina had arranged to arrive in an electric car. “Excuse me, is Ms. Harvey here?”

“Right here. Let’s go Selina said, tossing the keys to the driver and taking her place in the passenger seat while the driver quickly stowed the compact scooter in the vehicle.

Coming back to his senses, Manuel was still paralyzed by the inexplicable authority Selina had commanded. Manuel thought, I was unconsciously intimidated by Selina, following her orders like a puppet It was a more profound blow to his ego than being humiliated by her earlier in front of everyone.

Manuel hurried over to the passenger side of the car, pounding on the window, “Selina, you can’t leaye. You still haven’t explained it.”

“In a few days, the Jewelry Design Contest at Sokovis will take place, where I’ll represent Brilliance. Unlike you, I don’t just throw dirt on others or think ill of them with a narrow mind and I’ll prove myself with my creations and strength and turn you into nothing but a defeated dog. Let’s go

Once the Lamborghini sped off, Manuel remained standing there, fists clenched.

Chapter 96

“It’s not possible. How coulda woman who didn’t even finish junior high in the countryside pass Cartier’s design selection on the first try? Selina would’ve had to be lost to the world like Ashley, getting the finest aristocratic education at the Harvey family to even have a chance.”

Manuel found it hard to believe, his eyes growing darker with thought, “Jewelry Design Contest. I have yet another reason I

cannot lose.”

If Trevon gave Selina a slot in the competition, then well, Derrick, the chief designer for Brilliance, would be one formidable rival less to worry about.

“Selina, you’ll pay for this show. I must win this competition for Angel.”

When Selina returned to the villa and saw lights ablaze, indicating that Trevon wasn’t working in the study but rather sipping wine in the living room. His cheeks slightly flushed from the alcohol and his already deep and magnetic voice now carried an extra hint of tenderness, “Welcome home.”

Selina walked up behind Trevon, her arms encircling his neck, and whispered into his car, “Have you heard about what happened at the Starlight Club?”

“That’s my territory. I know everything that stirs there. So, did you enjoy putting the trash in its place?”

“Absolutely. The successful thrashing tonight was all thanks to your assistance.”

Selina had guessed that Trevon had orchestrated the events from the shadows. It hadn’t occurred to her that Manuel, that piece of trash, would dare to obstruct her path after being crushingly defeated, let alone slander her.

How could Selina, in her previous life, have underestimated the shameless thick–skinned audacity of the Harvey family? A miscalculation indeed.

“Shouldn’t there be a reward for that assist? Trevon ventured.

Selina couldn’t help but curve her lips upward at that, realizing he had been waiting right there for her tonight, intentionally teasing Trevon with, “Well, what reward would you like, honey?”

“Kiss me.” Trevon replied.

Trevon didn’t try to hide his desire and he had waited for Selina for so long. By not rushing her to come home today and pretending to be patient, he had hoped to receive a reward.

The unexpected kiss Selina had given him the night before lingered in his mind, and Trevon wanted to experience that again that heartbeat–skipping moment was like an addictive strawberry cream cake.

The next second, Selina willingly offered him a sweet kiss.

After the kiss, Selina patted Trevon’s head affectionately, like one would console a pampered pup, “Honey, thank you. You’ve been so good.”

“Honey, the reward has been given, but when can I kiss right here?” Trevon asked.

Trevon pointed to his lips. A kiss on the cheek was hardly as profound as one on the lips.

“When you keep up the good behavior, that’s the time. Now, I’m off to take a shower, honey. You should sleep soon.” Selina flicked Trevon’s forehead playfully and then turned to head upstairs, her purse in tow.

“Keep up the good behavior? Trevon touched the spot on his cheek where Selina had kissed him, a slight smile playing on his lips. It seemed he needed to delve deeper into the art of pampering his wife. Winning her heart would certainly bring him closer to the ultimate prize.

The next day.

Chapter 96

Selina arrived at Brilliance, and Christina was also there.

But upon seeing Selina, Christina kept her head down, feigning ignorance as if she didn’t recognize her.

A stark contrast to the past when she would shadow Selina everywhere, trying to ingratiate herself.

Or perhaps she had seen through Selina’s façade after being shown her place.

18+ 80%

Selina would deal with obstacles as they came, and as long as Christina stayed in line, Selina had no reason to completely wipe her out.

After clocking in, Selina openly started playing games on her phone and scrolling through TikTok in front of everyone. Gone were the days when people would look at her through prejudiced lenses. The newcomer, who had gotten the job through connections and passed the scrutiny of an international luxury brand on her first try, was unheard of. Landing this SSS–rated case successfully could elevate her to a position on par with Derrick.

In this industry, ability is everything. Plus, with Trevon’s connections and that enviable stunning beauty which was like a peony shining defiantly against the sun’s fierce glare, it was no surprise that she demanded attention.

Selina was waiting for true notice to come through, confident in her ability to overturn everyone’s preconceived notions, and she was eager for that invitation, ready to strike hard against the Clark Jewelry.
