“Since Yvonne won the championship, she has become famous both domestically and abroad. Many designers want to learn from her, even if it means just being her assistant. However, she always keeps a low profile, rarely appearing in public. Later on, many people tried to imitate her rapid design methods with disastrous results, so could this Xaviera Evans also…”

“It’s just a simple imitation. Even if Xaviera tried, she’s no match for Yvonne’s genius.”

Unfazed by the people’s whispers, Zara Woods smiles at Yigol Mamet: “Yigol, did you come to help Xaviera get the materials? I just asked her who her partner was, and she refused to tell me. Turns out it’s you!”

Zara’s assistant snorted coldly: “What’s the point, Miss Evans? Even though you have a partner, you still insisted on telling everyone that you entered the competition alone. Are you trying to show off your strength? You even dare to order Mr. Yigol Mamet around, that’s too arrogant!”

“Joy, don’t say that.” Zara interrupted and then turned to Yigol, “Xaviera probably just forgot. Yigol, I didn’t expect you to participate in the competition too. If I had known that you were Xaviera’s partner earlier, I could have introduced you to the judges.”

Yigol stopped in his tracks.

Damn! Is this woman trying to sow discord?

He couldn’t believe that he had been deceived by this woman for so many years. In the past, he thought she was gentle and kind, without any scheming intentions. So even if there were any inconsistencies, he wouldn’t think too much about it. But it now seems that Zara must have done many shady things behind his back.

Between the lines, Zara’s words implied that Xaviera deliberately kept her partner a secret in order to take credit for herself.

Yigol’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Zara.”

Zara’s face displayed a gentle smile.

Yigol asked, “I heard that your partner is Mr. Jason? Since it’s a team competition, why did you bring your assistant as well? If an assistant doesn’t count as a partner or contestant, it’s no big deal that Xaviera said she had no partner. After all, I’m just her assistant! I’m not a partner because I don’t know jewelry design!”

Zara’s smile abruptly vanished from her face.

Yigol… Mr. Yigol Mamet of the Mamet family… is Xaviera’s assistant?

With gritted teeth, Xaviera followed Yigol closely, still speaking gently: “Yigol, did Xaviera ask you to get the materials? If you don’t know about design, how would you know how to choose materials? Do you want me to help you?”

At this moment, Yigol really wanted to see what was inside Zara’s head. Hadn’t he already shown his disgust? How could someone be so shameless and still keep approaching him?

Zara noticed Yigol’s impatience and smiled softly: “Since Xaviera is Yvonne’s friend, it’s no wonder you’re willing to be her assistant. I won’t bother you while you pick the materials.”

After Yigol left, Zara’s assistant grumbled: “Zara, you submitted your design first. Why did you let Xaviera pick first? This puts us at a disadvantage.”

Zara confidently smiled: “It’s okay. I’ve been a designer for so many years. Even without the right materials, I can adapt. But Xaviera is a newcomer. If I took the materials she needed, wouldn’t that be bullying her?”

Yigol didn’t pay them any mind, but he still felt something was off. If Zara let him pick first so easily, was there any conspiracy?

He glanced back at Zara and walked in cautiously. There shouldn’t be any problems with choosing first.

If Zara had chosen first and taken the materials Xaviera needed, things would be troublesome. Choosing first did have its benefits, and there shouldn’t be any conspiracy involved!

Yigol went up to the staff member and wrote down the materials he needed.

For fairness, the organizers stipulated that once all designers had submitted their drafts, materials would be distributed simultaneously, and then production would begin.

However, those who submitted their drafts first could reserve materials, while those who chose materials later could only select from the materials not yet reserved.

When Zara came in to make her reservation, she saw Yigol’s registration form. She took a casual glance and noticed a special material called Magic Jade Bead with a clear texture and beautiful luster.

But among these materials was also another bead with a similar appearance called the gray bead. At first glance, the two beads looked similar, but the final results they produced were completely different. A single bead used incorrectly could impact the final result.
