?Chapter 615:


    Ignoring the scornful nces aimed her way, Yvette savored the thought of Elena being outshone by Cathy. Oh, how sweet that moment would be!


    Meanwhile, Elena’s lips curved into a slow, enigmatic smile. Cathy was truly confident.


    “Very well, let’s put it to the test,” Elena dered.


    Rising, she descended the staircase from the second floor with a casual grace that captivated everyone.


    As she made her way down, all eyes followed her, and the lighting seemed to intensify just for her.


    The tap of her shoes on the wooden steps was sharp and clear, echoing the collective heartbeat of the crowd.


    The audience was spellbound, holding their breath in anticipation. When Elena finally stepped into the light, revealing her wless beauty, the room erupted in awed murmurs.


    The light gently caressed her, making her smooth skin seem to glow from within. Her long, thickshes cast delicate shadows across her cheeks like twin fans.


    Dressed simply in a shirt and jeans, her innate poise and regal presence made her in clothes irrelevant. All that mattered was her breathtaking beauty and the aura of unattainable grace she radiated.


    Time seemed to stand still. Then whispers broke out among the crowd.


    “I thought I glimpsed a fairy.”


    Elena stayed focused on her work, seemingly unaware of the growing buzz around her.


    When she lit her lighter, a delicate pale blue me flickered to life, swirling gracefully around her fingertips as if it had a life of its own.


    The whispers grew louder, reflecting the uncertainty hanging in the air. “Is Helena about to concede, unable to face the possibility of defeat?”


    There were only five minutes left. “What is Helena doing? She hasn’t even started. Is she seriously giving up without a fight?”


    “ss is so delicate. How does she n to work with it? She can’t sketch on it, much less mold it.”


    “It seems the rumors might be off the mark. Helena isn’t living up to the hype.”

    “No surprise she hasn’t unveiled anything new recently. It appears she’s hit a creative dead-end.”


    “Perhaps her past des were merely flukes, and her talents aren’t as formidable as we thought.”


    At first, Monica’s face showed frustration as she watched time ticking down, noticing Elena seemed more focused on experimenting with ss techniques than actual sketching.


    However, as Monica continued observing, realization dawned on her, and her eyes widened in surprise, understanding the essence of Elena’s method. Wow! That was absolutely amazing! Elena truly lived up to her reputation. Her thought process was uniquely her own.


    Although ss is notoriously difficult to work with—due to itsck of malleability and inability to hold color, making it a challenging material for design—everything changed once exposed to intense heat.


    Monica’s face brightened with excitement and anticipation as she watched Elena.


    When the host announced the final minute, Elena stopped her experimentation. In her hand, she held a delicate, ingeniously crafted transparent hairpin.
