Chapter 214 Joanna’s Design Was Chosen
The man had a black suitcase with him. When he walked in, he nodded to Anna before placing the suitcase on the
table.
A tinge of surprise flickered in Nicole’s eyes. She had no idea what Queenie had up her sleeve.
Hence, she sat there, motionless.
Queenie signaled to Kevin to open the suitcase. He nodded and opened it up in front of all of them.
Nicole was taken aback when she saw the jewelry in the suitcase. She wasn’t expecting Queenie to bring someone
from Triton Studio. Even though the jewelry in the suitcase wasn’t their main product, it was a new design.
Joanna, too, pretended to be surprised. “Isn’t this Triton Studio’s jewelry?” she exclaimed.
Queenie nodded arrogantly. “Yes. This is Kevin Carter, a designer from Triton Studio.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFollowing that, Anna looked at the two design sketches and the jewelry, leaving Wendy to make the difficult decision.
Wendy exhaled a sigh. She was unwilling to give up Nicole’s design, which she adored just by looking at the sketch.
However, the jewelry…
She was in a difficult situation. She raised her head slowly after a long moment of hesitation and said, “Miss Nicole,
based solely on the sketches, I prefer yours. However, Miss Joanna’s design appears to complement the jewelry
better.”
Nicole took one look at Joanna’s design and couldn’t help but sneer. She was just wondering why Joanna’s design
was so much grander and more mature than what was appropriate for Wendy’s age.
She now understood why—Joanna had long been in cahoots with Queenie.
Even the Gardners, despite being wealthy, couldn’t engage designers from Triton Studio either. After all, Triton and
everyone else in his studio thought highly of themselves and couldn’t care less about money.
For many years, their jewelry was reserved for royalty, or prominent and reputable figures.
It was no surprise that Joanna appeared to have the upper hand. She had been waiting for Queenie all along!
Nicole’s sneer remained. She had not expected Joanna to stoop so low and employ such despicable means. And she
even thought of competing fair and square against her this time. She had really overestimated Joanna!
She then raised her head and posed a serious question to Wendy. “Miss Gardner, please tell me honestly. If there’s
no such jewelry, do you prefer my design?”
Wendy nodded without hesitation. Truth was, she adored Nicole’s design so much that she even thought of giving
the jewelry up for it. Fortunately, her rationality kept such an urge at bay.
Nicole could almost guess Wendy’s intention from her hesitant expression. The jewels of Triton Studio represented
one’s noble status, and she understood that no woman would be willing to give up such an honor.
Joanna heard Wendy’s words too. She, however, did not get angry and merely said softly, “In fact, I assumed that it

happened to match with the jewelry.”
“Let’s use Joanna’s design for the party this time. We can then use Nicole’s design for any future important events,”
Anna comforted Wendy after seeing her reluctant expression.
Hearing that, Wendy raised her gaze and looked at Nicole. “Can I do that, Miss Nicole?”
Nicole was generous with that. She nodded and said, without even a hint of dissatisfaction, “Of course you can.
Since I’ve already designed it, I’ll make the dress. Take it as your birthday gift from me.”
Seeing that Nicole wasn’t angry, Wendy happily said, “Thank you, Miss Nicole!”
After Wendy made her decision, everyone began to discuss the next steps, except Nicole, who simply lowered her
head and drank her tea. The tea here was tasty despite its high price.
She drank quite a lot of it. A while later, she stood up with an apologetic face and said to Anna, “Mrs. Gardner, I
need to go to the ladies. Please excuse me.”
With that, she turned around and left after her words.
