Still, it was Melody who took the stage to speak. "All of you who have come this far are the elites of the silk hand embroidery world. Regardless of the final results, your abilities are recognized by everyone."The rules for the final round of this competition are quite simple. No specific theme, no restrictions on embroidery techniques. Based on your experiences in the competition over the past few days, create a unique piece of work within a two-day time limit."Each of your submitted works will be stored by the staff and locked in personal lockers. The exhibition and evaluation will take place the following day."After hearing the rules for this round, the contestants returned to the backstage resting room, each lost in thought.Janice silently nodded, jotting down everything Melody had said in her notebook. Her friends huddled around her, and one of them remarked, "Janice, you're so diligent.""Yeah, you're actually taking notes. No wonder the teacher praised your work for
The icy and stern look in Melody's eyes left Queta deeply alarmed. Melody's gaze was undoubtedly a warning to her!As the others left, Queta was left in a state of panic, her entire being in disarray.This scene was observed by the staff, who couldn't help but admire Melody.Melody was truly a master strategist. She had foreseen the potential trouble, and had purposely spread false information to lure the fish into the net.Her speed in investigating the truth was lightning fast. The hotel corridor's surveillance cameras had seemingly been hacked on the night in question, causing a malfunction. But when it came to the entire Bayridge, there wasn't a hacker who dared to challenge her.With her slender fingers flying across the keyboard, Melody quickly cracked the system. With access to high-definition surveillance footage, she had a clear view of the thief's appearance and physique.She immediately made a phone call. "Jenson, find out the identity of this person and bring him here
After being rebuked by Benjamin, Queta didn't dare to lose her temper again, despite feeling resentful. She asked skeptically, "Do you really have a way?"Benjamin sneered. "Of course! I've faced her in so many battles. This time, I’ll make sure she falls from grace!"She gritted her teeth, but had no choice but to trust him for now. She suppressed her anger, and said, "Alright, I'll follow your lead."—With Queta gone, the scene once again became filled with joy and laughter. Seeing the cheerful atmosphere, Melody proposed, "I know a restaurant with unique flavors and a great environment. Tonight, Nolan Enterprise will host a celebration banquet. Everyone is welcome to relax and enjoy.""Awesome! Thank you, Miss Nolan!""Miss Nolan, you’re beautiful and kind!"Several young girls surrounded Melody, praising her endlessly, making her laugh.The excellent dining location she mentioned was none other than the Cordon Grand Hotel. Although it didn't appear extravagant, it was sp
Melody went to the restroom to freshen up, and was led by a waiter to the hall on the first floor. The hall had also been reserved for private use, and it was filled with the clinking of glasses. Despite the relaxed conversations, the ambiance was refined, accompanied by the elegant sound of a cello. It wasn't too noisy.In a corner, Queta kept her head low, trying not to draw attention to herself. She furtively searched for something at the event. Eventually, her gaze fell upon that graceful and swaying figure.She saw Melody engaged in a cheerful conversation with a middle-aged man not too far away. She sneered inwardly, convinced that Melody was engaging in illicit dealings with the man.“Disgusting! Just wait until I expose your true colors!” she sneered in her mind.A young waiter carrying a tray of drinks passed by. She grabbed him, and pulled him into a nearby stairwell.The startled waiter exclaimed, "Ma'am! What are you doing?"She paid no attention to him and took a whi
Clearly, his heart had been burning with passion for her from the beginning.Melody had reached a point where she couldn't hear any words anymore. Feeling a coolness, she nuzzled her cheek into his palm. She was soft and docile, resembling a little kitten.Albert couldn't suppress the burning passion in his heart any longer. He gazed lovingly at her soft, moist, petal-like lips, almost devoutly desiring to give her a kiss. Even if it was just one kiss, it would be enough.Just as Christopher was about to go look for Melody after settling down Sophia, he happened to pass by this scene. Through the partially open door, he saw Albert cradling Melody's face, appearing to engage in an inappropriate act.Without a second thought, he dashed over, grabbed the back of Albert's collar, and slammed the latter hard against the wall. Albert was taken by surprise, and winced in pain.When he raised his eyes and saw that it was Christopher, his anger flared up. "What the hell are you doing?!"R
Luke glanced at him, and just nodded in agreement. As he left the office, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. They had only recently finished a meeting—there couldn't be that much business to discuss so soon!It was probably just an excuse to go see Melody. Christopher Bolton, the CEO of Bolton Enterprise, was truly smitten.When Christopher arrived at the Nolan Enterprise, Jenson entered Melody’s office to announce, "Ms. Nolan, the CEO of the Bolton Enterprise wishes to see you."Melody raised her eyebrows. The person who had hurt her employee was audacious enough to come see her?"Tell him I won't see him," she stated firmly.Jenson paused and added, "He said it's to discuss the progress of the silk hand embroidery project. There are still some unresolved issues from before."The mention of the project made her waver slightly. Considering that Christopher was the one who invested the most and their cooperation was not to be taken lightly, she pondered for a moment. "…Let hi
"Today, I'll spare you for now. But if you ever dare make any moves again…" Melody pointed to the bright sunlight outside the window. "Do you see that? The sun is shining brightly, isn't it?"Queta was puzzled as to why Melody suddenly brought up the weather. She stared, feeling that this woman was strange and terrifying."If you're dishonest, I guarantee you won't see such beautiful sunshine tomorrow."Melody spoke firmly; Queta had already become weak and terrified, unable to speak."Take her away," Melody said, her expression filled with disgust.As Queta was being dragged away by the security personnel, Levian's frowning expression didn't ease. "Mel, you absolutely can't trust this woman! Things aren't as simple as they seem."Their opinions aligned; Melody nodded, saying, "I know, but we can't force her to talk right now. It's a waste of time. We need to come up with a different approach."While the two siblings discussed their next steps, Albert watched from the side. His
Melody looked charming and lovely, absolutely beautiful.Christopher was momentarily stunned as he stared at her picture. He remembered the misunderstandings and distrust he had encountered during the day, and a surge of anger welled up within him. He replied irritably, "I'm not coming!"Ethan couldn't help but laugh. "Well, I did my duty in telling you, and you chose not to come. Since you're not coming, I'll have a one-on-one conversation with her. No one will interrupt us."Christopher was such a stubborn man!On the other end, his face turned even darker. He clenched his phone, releasing the frustration he had suppressed all afternoon.—"Mel, this one is strawberry-flavored!" Amelia finally got her hands on the cotton candy she had been longing for. She smiled sweetly. "You should have a bite too."Melody didn't want to refuse Amelia’s kindness, so she took a small bite. "Mmm, delicious."The two of them chatted animatedly, thinking about which ride they should try next.
