123 Chapter 123: Disqualified
In the office, Serena Jennings was looking at the jewelry sample Sharon Sanders had just given her. 1
This was a ne designed and crafted by Sharon Sanders herself, featuring an emerald.
Of course, it wasn’t made of high–quality natural emeralds, but with synthetic ones.
Although the cutting still had a lot of room for improvement, the design wasn’t bad, and Serena Jennings praised it repeatedly, which made Sharon Sanders blush.
Sharon Sanders knew very well that her design skills were far below Serena Jennings‘ standards.
Justparing to her own previous works, it was a significant improvement, so Serena Jennings was encouraging her, and she couldn’t get carried away.
“Excuse me, sir, whom are you looking for? This is J Jewelry’s office, private ess is not allowed.”
Nancy Young, who sat closest to the entrance, stood up.
She didn’t recognize the man who strode into the office, but he was quite handsome, dressed elegantly in exquisite attire, wearing gold- rimmed sses, looking like a refined and young university professor.
Upon hearing Nancy Young’s words, others in the office also noticed the presence of this unexpected guest.
Patrick Rhodes had clearly just reminded himself to avoid contact with Ian ckwood if possible, yet today, Serena Jennings metn
ckwood again.
Ian ckwood was wearing a different suit fromst time, but still had on the gold–rimmed sses, with a yfully arrogant smile on his
face, which diluted his confusingly refined aura a bit.
This time, Ian ckwood did note alone.
He brought someone with him.
Serena Jennings was not weing, even loathing Ian ckwood’s arrival.
But the person behind Ian ckwood piqued her interest.
The person was a woman.
The woman, though appearing to be from Country A, had her hair styled inrge golden waves, and everything about her makeup and
attire gave off the impression of a big name in the Western fashion world.
In fact, she was indeed a big shot.
Serena Jennings knew the woman, but thought she wouldn’t know her.
The woman was named Miranda, editor–in–chief of the top global jewelry magazine “Radiance“, a foreign Chinese who had be an authority in the jewelry fashion industry at a young age.

123 Chapter 123: Disqualified
Serena Jennings had only seen photos of Miranda in magazines or online before, never expecting to meet her in person today.
Miranda entered with an international luxury brand ensemble from head to toe, her aura even overshadowingn ckwood’s.
Initially, Nancy Young had thoughtn ckwood hade to the wrong ce, but she sensed the imposing aura fromn ckwood and Miranda, as if they came to cause trouble.
“Boss…”
Nancy Young immediately hid next to Serena Jennings, clearly a bit scared.
The only male employee in their studio, Quentin Xavier, happened to be out, so if Ian ckwood indeed meant to pick a fight, perhaps only Serena Jennings, who had practiced martial arts, could possibly be his opponent.
However, Serena Jennings didn’t believe Ian ckwood came here intending to start a fight.
Because the person Ian ckwood brought was not a thug, but Miranda.
“Mr. ckwood, please state your purpose; otherwise, I’ll have to call security to escort you out.”
Serena Jennings stood up, her aura almost equal to Ian ckwood’s.
Ian ckwood nced at Serena Jennings, pushed his gold–rimmed sses, and lowered his gaze onto the desk in front of Serena
Jennings.
“Is this the sample you prepared for the LD Jewelry Fashion Week?”
Ian ckwood picked up the emerald ne from Serena Jennings‘ desk and examined it from all angles.
“Just this…?”
He didn’t finish hister words.
He meant <i>to </i>say, is this even fit to be ire’spetitor?
But because Miranda was here, he refrained from mentioning ire, Shaw’s name, to avoid inadvertently helping her.
“This style is a rip–off of Van Cleef & Arpels‘ clover, don’t you think?”
As Jan ckwood’s voice fell, Sharon Sanders‘ face turned as red as if it got pped.
She didn’t actually copy Van Cleef & Arpels.
But the inspiration for the clover indeed referred to Van Cleef & Arpels.
“Vulgar, cheap,”
With a slight force in his hands,n ckwood snapped the emerald ne.
The fractured metal and gemstones ttered to the ground.
Serena Jennings saw Sharon Sanders standing aside, almost on the verge of tears.
“Ian ckwood, apologize to me!” Serena Jennings shouted angrily.

Ian ckwood shrugged with augh, pushing his gold–rimmed sses.
“I won’t apologize, what can you do to me? Call the police to arrest me? A copycat high imitation synthetic fake emerald ne, it’s just trash, and you’re the one treating it as a treasure, trash with trash, all garbage together, a perfect match!”
The words from Ian ckwood’s mouth sharply contrasted with his cultured demeanor.
Before Serena Jennings could retort, Miranda beside her let out a derisive coldugh.
“Mr. ckwood is right, this is junk. If all you can design are such pieces, there’s no need for you to attend the LD Jewelry Fashion Week.
you’d only tarnish our eyes.”
Serena Jennings had heard a bit about Miranda’s personality.
Miranda was arrogant and condescending, even top brands had designs she looked down upon, and she would mercilessly belittle them.
“Ms. Miranda, I am the champion of the first New Star Jewelry Design Competition held by the LD Jewelry Fashion Week organizers, so
you shouldn’t be able to disqualify me.”
Facing Miranda, Serena Jennings maintained aposed demeanor.
Only now did Miranda really look at Serena Jennings properly for the first time.
She smiled slightly, her fiery red lips both charmingly feminine and inexplicably oppressive.
“Since you already know who I am, then you should understand… I don’t care whose champion you are, if I say your qualification to
participate in the Jewelry Fashion Week is canceled, then it’s canceled.”
Miranda wasn’t joking in saying that.
She initially thought that after hearing this, Serena Jennings’s face would at least show some hint of urgency.
However, Serena Jennings remained unruffled, smiling subtly.
“Then you’re missing out on a world–ss designer.”
Miranda’s eyes brightened,
Beside her,n ckwood pushed his gold–rimmed sses, watching Serena Jennings with an amused look.
In his impression, this wasn’t like Serena Jennings‘ usual speaking style.
Serena Jennings had seen many interviews with Miranda, who appreciated designers confident in their own design talents, so she deliberately spoke like that to make <b>a </b>good impression on Miranda.
Miranda smiled; this time, her smile wasn’t as contemptuous as before.
In her impression, the culture of Country A emphasized modesty.
This Serena Jennings seemed somewhat interesting.
“Do you know that blind confidence is called arrogance? In my eyes, there is currently only one person in the world who can be said to

be a world–ss designer…”
These words aroused Serena Jennings‘ curiosity.
Before establishing her own studio, she wasn’t really up to date with the world of jewelry designers.
“It’s the mysterious designer BYC of the FY Piano Series.”
Upon hearing this, Serena Jennings choked on her own saliva, coughing for quite some time.
“Of course, I wouldn’t expect you topare with BYC; the amazing design talent expressed in the Piano Series can be said to be
unprecedented.”
Serena Jennings fell silent, touching her flushed face.
