126 Chapter 126: Peeking
ire asked with a soft voice, sitting down on the swing next ton ckwood. 1
Under the night sky, stars twinkling, a man and a woman sat on a small swing, the scene resembling a beautiful romanticic.
“I went to Serena Jennings‘ studio today,” Ian ckwood said.
ire feigned surprise, though she wasn’t surprised at all inside.
Thest time she met Ian ckwood, she intentionally mentioned that Serena Jennings was her rival in the LD Jewelry Fashion Week to provoken into causing trouble for Serena Jennings.
“I brought Miranda over.”
“Miranda… is that the fashion industry bigwig, the editor–in–chief of Radiance, Miranda?” ire blinked her innocent eyes, cheering inwardly.
Everyone knows how picky Miranda is, so it seemsn might want Miranda to find fault with Serena Jennings, to directly revoke Serena Jennings‘ qualification for the LD Jewelry Fashion Week.
“So… what did Miranda say?”
ire asked cautiously.
Quickly say Serena Jennings was disqualified by Miranda…
Quickly say it!
Her inner anticipation flowed like a river in flood season.
Though she was well–prepared and confident for the LD Jewelry Fashion Week, having nopetitors would be most advantageous and
stable for her.
Especially in front of Caleb Lockwood.
If she shines brilliantly at the LD Jewelry Fashion Week, while Serena Jennings is disqualified, she’ll impress Caleb Lockwood even more, enabling her to obtain Lockwood Group’s shares before Serena Jennings.
That night, her mother talked with her a lot.
Valerie Vance learned from ire that Caleb Lockwood once considered transferring ten percent of Lockwood Group’s shares to Serena Jennings after the divorce<b>. </b>
Though it didn’t happen, time would reveal hidden motives.
Valerie Vance believed ire must get Lockwood Group’s shares first, regardless of whether Caleb Lockwood divorces Serena Jennings
or marries her.
Ian ckwood was silent for a long time.

“That Serena Jennings… doesn’t seem <b>easy </b>to deal with, Miranda seems to admire her.”
“What?!”
ire eximed.
“Ah, sorry, I lost myposure.”
ire bashfully brushed her hair and felt displeased withn ckwood.
Miranda was brought by Ian ckwood, yet instead of disqualifying Serena Jennings, increased opportunities for her, isn’t that counterproductive!
And she subtly askedn if he had seen the designs Serena Jennings was preparing for LD Jewelry Fashion Week in her office, butn saw nothing.
What a waste!
ire didn’t want to waste more time withn ckwood, so she made an excuse to leave, leavingn to sit alone on the swing in the
cold wind.
The swing made creaking sounds.
Jan ckwood felt that ire seemed different tonight.
Not like he remembered.
While Serena Jennings was in the operating room repairing the emerald, he sat at Serena Jennings‘ desk.
There were blueprints on the desk.
Although they were rough sketches, unfinished and still being modified, Ian ckwood spected that “Across the Chrysalis” might be
Serena Jennings‘ jewelry theme for LD Jewelry Fashion Week.
He could have told ire about it.
But he chose not to.
Ian ckwood didn’t know why.
That night, he couldn’t leave the swing.
He thought all night, but couldn’t find the answer.
That night, Caleb Lockwood didn’t leave the general manager’s office.
After waiting all night, Wyatt Coleman’s submitted divorce papers were still unsatisfactory.
That night, Serena Jennings didn’t go home.
The next day, Quentin Xavier was the first to arrive at work.
Because he was out procuring supplies yesterday, Serena Jennings told him not to detour back to thepany, just to clock out directly,

so hepensated with a nap at home, restored his energy, and arrived early at thepany today.
After clocking in, Quentin Xavier realized he wasn’t alone in the office.
“Serena Jennings? You… arrived even earlier?”
Quentin Xavier immediately sensed something was off and corrected himself: “You wouldn’t have… stayed here all night, right?”
Serena Jennings yawned and rubbed her dark circles.
“Work makes me happy.”
Quentin Xavier was speechless.
“Is there a new urgent order?”
“No, it’s still for LD Jewelry Fashion Week.”
“Huh?”
Quentin Xavier tilted his head.
“Isn’t the theme for LD already decided?”
“Yeah, it was settled…”
Serena Jennings couldn’t help but sigh.
She and Quentin Xavier chatted while heading out to find a ce for breakfast, not expecting to meet Peter downstairs at Azure To
so the three went to a teahouse together.
“Serena Jennings, did you know? Last night, unbelievably, Miranda invited me for ate–night snack.”
Serena Jennings felt that the reason for the snack must have something to do with her.
“Miranda knows you’ve worked with me, asked quite a bit about you, and I noticed the ring on her right middle finger, that should be
your design!”
“Yeah.”
Serena Jennings was a bit surprised Miranda didn’t discard the synthetic emerald ring after leaving her studio.
She briefly exined the circumstances of yesterday’s ring design to Peter.
“No wonder she’s so impressed with you.”
“I’m not hoping for admiration, just as long as she doesn’t cancel my qualification over every little dissatisfaction.” Serena Jennings
smiled wryly, “Though yesterday’s critique from Miranda helped me realize that my originally prepared design theme for LD Jewelry
Fashion Week… was indeed a bitmon.”
“So you’re going to change the theme at thest minute?” Quentin Xavier was shocked.
Serena Jennings nodded.

“But the deadline for submitting samples is about to arrive!”
Quentin Xavier disapproved of Serena Jennings‘ decision to suddenly change everything and start from scratch, negating all previous
efforts, not to mention whether time would suffice, and inspiration might <b>be </b>constrained by tension and urgency.
Though Peter had little regard for Quentin Xavier since he was once ire’s corporate spy, in this instance, <b>Peter </b>agreed with Quentin
Xavier.
However, Serena Jennings showed determination, and Quentin Xavier and Peter both found her stubbornly obsessed with inspiration.
“By the way, let me remind you that ire Shaw reportedly learned of your design for Miranda and has secretly contacted Miranda
through Caleb Lockwood. I heard that today ire Shaw is hosting a private jewelry design exhibition at DJ Art Museum’s VIP art hall,
with few invitations, clearly to favor Miranda.”
After hearing Peter’s words, Serena Jennings fell into thought.
The person who brought Miranda to her studio yesterday was Ian ckwood.
This showsn ckwood should be familiar with Miranda.
Jan ckwood is also ire’s friend, ire can meet Miranda throughn.
Yet ire chose to go through Caleb Lockwood.
Serena Jennings shook her head, not understanding why she was fixating on this.
ire Shaw is soon to be Lockwood Group’s newdy, any of her needs are naturally met by Caleb Lockwood’s assistance.
“In any case, whatever moves ire makes won’t change my resolve to change the theme at thest minute.”
Serena Jennings encouraged herself.
“Tonight, an all–nighter again.”
“Don’t exhaust yourself to the point you copse.”
Peter showed concern for Serena Jennings, casually patting her shoulder.
His hand lingered a moment longer on Serena Jennings‘ shoulder.
Then finally drew back.
That night, Serena Jennings indeed again pulled an all–nighter at thepany, and Quentin Xavier was also there.
Quentin Xavier said little, silently helped Serena Jennings organize materials to facilitate her faster inspiration.
Around four in the morning, he and Serena Jennings couldn’t stay awake, slept for just over an hour, waking to find a WeChat message-
From ire Shaw<b>. </b>
