The moment Matthew said those words, the entire venue was in an uproar–Matthew was openly pursuing Adriana again!
Once, Adriana had been nothing more than a poor student and an orphan, but now everything had changed. Plus, there were already rumors that she and Justin would get married and become a powerful alliance. With Matthew joining in, Adriana’s previously passive position, where she had to depend solely on Justin, began to shift.
Over on the other side, Natasha and Danielle looked absolutely furious, while Savannah was gritting her teeth in rage.
Matthew, the Gills, and even Denton had all clearly chosen their sides at such an important event, making it obvious they were backing Adriana.
They had thought they could ruin Adriana’s reputation today. Their plan was to expose her for plagiarism. and have Justin take the opportunity to call off their engagement. Then, Adriana would end up tossed aside by Barton Group.
But they didn’t expect that all these people would come forward to help Adriana.
What is it about Adriana that makes all these people support her?
“Don’t get impatient. Let them be smug for a little longer.” Danielle said through clenched teeth.
Once the competition got underway, Adriana would be completely disgraced. Those backing her would end up utterly humiliated.
With a cold snort, Danielle looked at one of the judges–the one she and Chandler bribed ahead of time.
He nodded. “Alright, it’s about time. The competition can start now. Next, the finalists‘ designs will be displayed one by one, and the judges will score them as a group to decide the winner.”
The judges focused on the final entries. Designs for third and second place appeared on the big screen. The audience buzzed with discussion, recognizing these as top–tier works by the most talented designers in the field.
So what kind of entry would take first place? It had to be extraordinary.
Third place went to a designer from Eternity Design Studio, while second place went to a professor from Capitol University’s architecture department. But the first–place entry still hasn’t been revealed yet.
People in the audience began to murmur. “What’s going on? Why isn’t the first–place design on the screen yet?”
Danielle smiled faintly and shot Adriana a loaded look. “The results are basically set in stone.
“Nobody knows who the real fool is until the very end.” Denton, fiercely protective of Adriana, glared at Danielle.
Maya, sitting next to Denton, spoke up for Adriana, too. “Exactly. Someone’s going to get a rude awakening when the results are announced.”
