CHAPTER 222: CHAPTER 221: SHE—IS SHE EVEN WORTHY OF BEING COMPARED TO ZOE? (REVISED)

This year’s "The Brilliance Competition" has its registration in advance, and after the two consecutive days of events, only ten contestants remain.

During the final event, many from Solaria’s high society brought invitations to watch. Those wealthy socialites would choose their favorite jewelry designs from the competition to customize or have them sold to big companies for production.

Unlike in the past, the final competition will also be broadcast online for Solaria.

Among these participating designers, Zoe Quinn is undoubtedly catching attention.

At the venue hosting the competition, the car door opened, and Zoe Quinn stepped out wearing sharp high heels and a fresh, refined pale yellow dress.

Her looks are average, but her face has been surgically altered, accompanied by tears-prone eyes. She emerged with a smile on her face, appearing quite delicate.

With Ruth Hale on one side and Claire Sullivan on the other, Zoe stood even more prominently.

"Miss Quinn, do you have confidence in your work for this final round?"

A journalist noticed her arrival first and quickly approached with a microphone, asking.

Zoe Quinn smiled, not rushing to answer their questions.

She enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded and elevated, and with only three or four journalists around, it hardly highlighted her nobility and uniqueness!

Soon, several more reporters gathered around.

Ruth Hale is a famous jewelry designer in Solaria, reportedly invited to be a judge for this competition, but she declined in order to assist Zoe Quinn with her works, ensuring fairness.

"Of course!"

With the reporters crowding in front of her, Zoe Quinn finally spoke softly from the steps, standing higher than the others.

"I won the gold medal in the competition four years ago."

She joked half-heartedly, and with just this sentence, the sensitive reporters immediately thought of Serena Sullivan, who plagiarized her work four years ago.

The relationship between Serena Sullivan and Zoe Quinn is always a favorite subject for reporters to probe.

"It’s heard that Miss Sullivan has also participated in this competition, Miss Quinn, do you have confidence in her?"

The journalist asked again.

It’s just a rumor—only heard.

Because Serena Sullivan’s name was not on the list announced by the event organizers.

Likely due to the plagiarism incident four years ago, Serena Sullivan might be using another name now. Only when contest results are revealed will the ten finalist designers be invited on stage for a group photo.

Zoe Quinn and Ruth Hale also studied the list and believe Serena Sullivan is among them.

"Certainly."

She smiled; the strength in those two words was far less than when she talked about herself.

"How can she compare to Zoe?!"

Ruth Hale spoke, her face cold and mocking.

Everyone knows Serena Sullivan was once Ruth Hale’s prized student, and they also know Ruth Hale exposed Serena Sullivan’s plagiarism four years ago impartially and mercilessly.

"Actually, my sister is quite talented."

Zoe Quinn followed up by speaking kindly of Serena Sullivan, "Although we’ve had many unpleasant occurrences between us, in my heart, she is forever my good sister."

"If she wants this competition’s gold medal, I would give it to her!"

As she spoke, it incited public disdain toward Serena Sullivan.

To the public, it was Serena Sullivan who forced Ethan Grant to marry her; four years ago, it was Serena Sullivan who plagiarized Zoe Quinn’s work.

How is it that four years later, Serena Sullivan wants to plagiarize again? Or is she forcing Zoe Quinn to surrender the prize to her?

"Zoe."

With a stern expression, Claire Sullivan spoke out, not having overheard Zoe Quinn intentionally stirring the narrative, but rather her anger toward Serena Sullivan.

Is Serena Sullivan addicted to bullying Zoe? In this competition, what does she plan to do to Zoe again!

"Competitions are about strength; you don’t have to surrender to her."
