Because Cynthia had joined Lockwood Jewelry, Lauren's position as design director had become precarious, with upper management already hinting at a replacement.
Yet, by some miracle, Lauren managed to hold onto her job.
Not only did she survive the corporate shake-up, but she also secured a highly coveted ticket to the upcoming national jewelry design competition.
Seraphina figured Gideon's theory was spot on—Lauren and Cynthia were tightly aligned now, operating as a unified front.

The sketches, the precise color palettes, the gemstone sourcing logic, and even the intricate manufacturing techniques were all documented with obsessive detail.
She hadn't touched those files in years. Back then, she felt the collection lacked a final, defining spark and planned to hold off on submitting it until she perfected it.

Every single path they tried to walk down, she was going to burn to the ground.
Cynthia, Lauren... they better brace themselves for the absolute hell she was about to unleash.
