Lydia and Blake leaned forward at the same moment, turning their heads to look at each other. For a brief second, their eyes met, and something electric passed between them—a mix of shock and pure happiness. They just stared at each other, not saying a word, but in that silence, they both felt the deep, undeniable bond of family. Years and years apart seemed to fade away, replaced by this gentle, overwhelming sense of closeness.
Maybe it was the way they looked at each other, like nobody else existed, that made Sierra’s jealousy and anger explode inside her.
“How are you planning to explain this to everyone?” Sierra’s voice cut through the moment.
Why? Why could Blake look at Jenny, look at Ms. Norwood, but never at her?
Blake finally forced himself to look away from Lydia. He turned a cold, sharp gaze on Sierra, who was still trying to make her point.
“Before today, I honestly had no idea Jenny was a designer at Greenward Power. Even now that I know, what difference does it make? Her designs are great. She’s talented. Why shouldn’t I vote for her? She was already in third place before the judges even started voting. Are you saying the audience got it wrong?”
As soon as Blake finished, the crowd started speaking up.
“He’s right!”
“Yeah, why can’t we vote for the work we actually like?”
“If we’re not allowed to vote for number twelve, who are we supposed to vote for, her?”
As Jenny finished speaking, the people who had doubted her, Blake, or Lydia started to feel embarrassed.
They realized how unfair it was to let Sierra’s words get in their heads. Jenny’s work was actually amazing, and that was because Miss L was her mentor. Who wouldn’t want the legend designer Lydia to guide them?
A great teacher brings out the best in their students. That’s why people are willing to do anything for a chance to learn from the best. Jenny’s talent was her own, but Miss L’s guidance helped her shine.
And honestly, would Miss L really vote for someone less talented just to avoid suspicion? That wouldn’t make any sense, especially since she had personally trained Jenny.
Miss L voted for Jenny in front of everyone, not because of any personal connection, but because Jenny deserved it. Her talent spoke for itself.

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
