That way, she could still live like the rich and famous.

Originally, the Vossen family had already pulled some strings to get her in, but with the Vossen Group on the brink of bankruptcy, they couldn’t pull any more strings for her. Now, she had to fight her way in herself.

Honestly, this was all on Ophelia. If it weren’t for her, the Vossen family wouldn’t have ended up like this, and she wouldn’t be having to jump through hoops just to get into school.

As Layla stared at Ophelia, sitting up front with that cold, aloof look, hatred started to flicker in her eyes.

‘Why do I have to suffer for so many years? I finally made it back to the Vossen family, and now I still have to go through all this?’ Layla thought, bitterness and resentment boiling inside her.

Layla’s venomous glare was impossible to ignore. Ophelia glanced over, her gaze cool and indifferent.

Their eyes met, and Layla’s heart skipped a beat, a chill running down her spine.

‘Ophelia’s eyes… they were actually kind of scary just now, Layla thought, her nerves rattled.

Layla lowered her head, her heart pounding with anxiety. Her hand trembled as she tried to sketch out her design.

One by one, contestants finished their designs and handed them over to the judges.

The submissions were split into two piles, and it was clear the smaller pile was for the ones that passed.

“What?” Ophelia’s eyes narrowed, her tone turning cold.

“You just can’t stand me, so you made sure I got kicked out,” Layla shot back, glaring at her. ‘This was my one shot, and she ruined it, she fumed.

“Oh, I didn’t even look at your work, to avoid any bias,” Ophelia replied, a teasing smirk on her lips. “So, what, is your work really that bad?”

“You!” Layla sputtered, her face going pale then red, refusing to back down. “My work is just fine.”

Ophelia blinked, feigning curiosity. “Then why’d you get eliminated?”

Layla froze at the question. ‘How would I know? I’m not the judge, she thought, frustrated.

Meeting Ophelia’s indifferent gaze, Layla reminded herself she couldn’t lose her cool. This competition was everything, she couldn’t afford to crack now. She just had to grit her teeth and hold it together..
