Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 103

VICTORIA'S POV...

I watched the woman beside me. She is wearing that flower pendant, standing beside me. My eyes roamed to the whole stage and as I guessed, Carol is standing beside that designer from Smith Industries.

Things started coming into a line before me now. I turned my gaze to the audience and met my husband's gaze.

Even from afar, I could feel his confusion. He is staring at me and the model beside me. Sage, who never had much expression on his face, was also surprised by the sudden situation.

I smiled at him, remaining calm. Then my eyes searched for the two faces, I want. And there they are.

Both Camilla and Jordan watching me with evil smirks plastered on their faces. From this distance even I could feel the disgust in their eyes and the victorious gleam.

And guess what, I only smiled.

You must be thinking, why am I not anxious and hyper? Well, I might be tense before participating in the exhibition. After all, my first time official competition as a jewellery designer and this will be telecast too.

But, they forgot my background and the family I belong to.

Edwards is not only a surname but it holds quite a reputation from time to time, all over the world. We grew up with politeness and manners but were taught to be confident and fearless when it comes to standing up for ourselves.

I know how this industry could run and how people could be ganged up against me. And to avoid and survive the situation, I have learnt to take caution beforehand.

The moment, my eyes fell on Camilla and Jordan here. Especially, when Camilla completely ignored me, I knew that something messy is gonna happen. After all, Jordan is one of the shareholders of Adornet. This is the reason for this design to get entry. Or else, it would have been disqualified at first glance.

My doubts became clear when I was standing beside Jordan's designer, with the look-alike model. I have taken my caution.

Withdrawing my gaze from others, my eyes found the designer and Carol. None of them looked at me and happily stood in their place.

I leaned toward my model a little,

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be standing in your sister's place?"

I felt her tense up, but she maintained her professionalism and spoke lowly, "What are you talking Miss Edwards? You are the designer of 'the flower' and I am standing right beside you."

Eh! Even the name 'the flower' is aimless! It seemed m, they all along planned it. And I have to say, this design is so out of place before all the designs here.

No doubt, this has been planned before and they did not waste a single bit of energy in this design.

I only smiled calmly. "Oh, cool. We will know soon."

My words tensed her up once again but then she maintained her posture well.

I heard the host start his speech...

"Ladies and gentlemen. Here, we present you the designs and their designers. Please, give a round of applause to their fifteen days of hard work."
