Chapter 1277:


    “This represents an unprecedented coboration that rewrites industry standards. I adore both Radiant Jewels and Annie Crystal independently, but only now do we witness a singr piece synthesizing their distinctive styles and revolutionary design philosophies into something transcendent.”


    “I understand the picture now with perfect rity. Maia has no genuine talent, while the other two judges are genius designer Anti and the president of the International Jewelry Design Association himself. I don’t need to spell out Kiley’s calcted intentions, do I?”


    “This is merely the opening piece, and it’s already devastatingly stunning beyond words. I genuinely can’t fathom how breathtaking the remaining four will prove to be.”


    At that precise moment, Kileymanded the stage with an expression of profound, almost predatory satisfaction. Everything unfolded with perfect precision ording to her carefully orchestrated design.


    Although Anti had contributed absolutely nothing to the jewelry’s actual creation, Kiley felt no hesitation whatsoever in cultivating a strategic misunderstanding that subtly suggested otherwise. Such calcted ambiguity would undoubtedly elerate sales to unprecedented levels.


    It formed one crucialponent of her meticulous, multyered strategy. Kiley was a ruthlessly shrewd businesswoman, utterly determined to see Cooper Group triumph spectacrly at this high-profile event, propelling it toward unprecedented heights of sess while simultaneously eliminating any impediments that dared block its inevitable ascent.


    She intended for Maia to humiliate herself tonight in spectacr fashion, crushed so thoroughly that recovery would prove impossible.


    Did Maia genuinely believe that positioning herself at the table’s far end would somehow shield her from being the first to field a question?


    Kiley’s gaze transformed into something cial and merciless as it swept over Maia before she spoke, her voice carrying effortlessly through the hall. “Ladies and gentlemen, this inaugural piece is called La Primavera. Its design drew profound inspiration from the natural imagery of spring’s eternal rebirth, symbolizing the infinite cycle of life and unwavering hope, with each individual leaf representing a fresh beginning waiting to unfold.”


    Her voice flowed with practiced calm, guiding the captivated audience into a luminous dreamscape painted entirely with her carefully chosen words.

    Kiley paused with deliberate calction, her lips curving into a smile that didn’t quite reach her cold eyes, but she didn’t continue borating on the jewelry’s finer details, nor did she solicit Anti for the professional critique everyone anticipated. Instead, she turned with predatory precision toward Maia, abruptly redirecting the entire conversation.


    “Ms. Watson, before we proceed to the official review process, I have two elementary questions for you, specifically designed to help introduce this extraordinary collection to our distinguished guests. Do you know where the original design inspiration for the Clover Series truly originates? And what profound symbolic meanings are traditionally assigned to each of the four leaves?”


    Her tone remained deceptively soft, yet carried unmistakable barbs hidden beneath its carefully maintained veneer of professional politeness.


    The attention of everyone assembled in the opulent hall shifted like a sudden tidal wave, every single eye now fixed with burning curiosity upon Maia.


    Kiley’s mouth twisted into a smirk. “Easy as pie, wouldn’t you say?”
