Chapter 59 Utterly Shameless
But he was nowhere to be found in the audience. Still, Rose was certain this was the work of her star escort husband.
Just then, someone applauded in the audience. As if awoken from some spell, the rest of the audience erupted into riotous claps, giving their approval to Rose's creation.
Kelly never anticipated things to turn out like this. How could Rose have drawn up a design in such a short amount of time?
She stared intently at the design, then, as if latching onto a bone to pick, said, "It is a beautiful necklace. Yet why does it seem to be more of a pair of rings?"
As stunning as this necklace was, it wasn't derived from the design sketch itself. That meant it was bound to be disqualified!
The judges all had a look of uncertainty on their faces now as they discussed amongst themselves.
Rose turned back to the stage. She hadn't forgotten her purpose here today. She sneered, about to retort when Miles suddenly called out from the VIP seating area, his voice loud and clear.
"The fact that they're rings does go against the rules. But isn't this flame symbol on Ms. Rose's sketch a little familiar to all of us here?"
Everyone turned back to the screen, noticing the little symbol of a flame at the bottom corner of the sketch right above Rose's name.
"Ms. Kelly's sketch had the same symbol!"
The audience instantly pieced it together.
"Could you explain how this came to be, Ms. Kelly?" Miles asked, staring right at her.
Kelly's heart fell into her stomach. She quickly acted innocent.
"I'm sorry, Rose. I can't keep this a secret anymore. I told you this competition was an important one and that you had to draw your design. Why did you have to steal mine?"
The crowd roared with speculation. Rose was nearly steaming at the ears with how shameless Kelly was.
She snorted, saying, "Where's your proof that I stole it?"
Kelly gnawed on her lip. Of course, she didn't have proof! But then she suddenly spotted Maya amongst the band of participants.
"Maya knows!" Kelly cried, upping her pitiful act. "Maya knows I've always had the habit of adding this flame symboll She also knows my sister has always enjoyed stealing what's mine
Maya had already held a vengeful grudge against Rose for what happened at the bar the other night, so she didn't hesitate to help Kelly this time around.
"Yes, I can verify that the symbol is Kelly's. Rose has always been very domineering, so Kelly's always had to help hide the truth for her...
Everyone's gaze was suddenly filled with judgment as they turned to Rose. Rose only shot Maya a blank
stare.

Looks like she had no choice but to bring up her alias, Ms. Flora, now. Not if she wanted her work to continue being insulted, that is.
Suppressing a groan of pain as her wounds flared, she croaked out, "I have evidence
Just then two different voices rang out as well, louder than hers.
"I have evidence!"
"I have evidencel"
One was from Miles in the VIP seating area, and the other was from Evan, who'd just walked into the
venue.
The crowd turned their attention to the two men. Miles gave off a foreboding aura while Evan quickened his pace forward. They shared a look before gazing at Rose onstage.
Miles said calmly, "I've seen this symbol before. Everyone who's had some experience in our industry would easily recognize this symbol. It belongs to the recently-acclaimed jewelry designer prodigy known as Ms. Flora. Only a limited few know of her true identity. Could you be Ms. Flora herself, Ms. Kelly?"This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Kelly was taken aback. Of course, she'd heard about Ms. Flora. But what did this flame symbol have to do with her? Rose had drawn it herself.
Yet now that everyone's attention was on her, Kelly had no choice but to keep her act up. She lowered her gaze, acting shy.
"Can we not bring this up here? I like keeping a low profile."
"So you mean to say you are Ms. Flora?"
Miles' smile deepened.
