My Killing President

Chapter 80 Twist 3

Alexis Hera.

She was elegantly dressed, hooded eyes featuring a heavy brow bone that gleamed in confidence. She

walked up the chairperson’s seat without turning.

Such a strong aura! It was like she carried her own atmosphere wherever she went. No wonder she

had been a symbol for powerful woman entrepreneurs.

She wasted no time and announced the result, starting from the third and then to the second prize.

The winners were two reputable artists that Annabelle had seen multiple times appearing in jewellery

magazines.

There was a pause before she announced the champion. Alexis browsed through the crowd and her

fingers were tapping rhythmically on a file.

“May I know who is Miss Annabelle?”

Annabelle tensed up in her seat upon hearing her name.

“Here, I am.”

She raised her hand.

“Miss Xia, can you explain your design concept?”

Annabelle drew a breath and stood up, this work of hers had a special meaning behind that she hoped

to divulge. To get acceptance and appreciation would be undoubtedly the best form of respect for the

work.

“This design is a gift to an elderly man,” As Annabelle slowly explained, the room went pin drop silence,

“He was an ordinary man, worked as a butler for an ordinary family. The man had an extraordinary son,

diligent in studies and successful in work and he loved him dearly. One fateful day, an accident took the

son and the two were forever separated. The only remembrance he had was a pendant he gave him

before the accident…”

“The old man was devastated and later diagnosed with dementia. But until this day, he never let the

pendant out of his sight. Day by day, hours and hours he gazed at it, longing for his son to come

home… I believe the son must be watching over his father, and he too, longed for the day to reunite

with him again! To offer my gratitude and admiration, I designed and named this pendant after their

heartbreaking and heartwarming story – Reunion…”

Annabelle’s voice filled the hall like that of a chirruping nightingale, and there was a prolonged silence. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

If one could observe Alexis closely, they would see fine hairs standing on her skin and her eyes were

misty.

Annabelle once again broke the silence, “With this enchanted pendant, I believe anyone who shares

their emotion will be spellbound once they see it!”

Everyone’s attentiveness now rested on Alexis. She alone held the decisive vote to the finale.

And now, the most nervous person in the room was not Annabelle, but Yoi!

Darn it!!! Why is she so lucky!

She bit her nails and quivered her legs uncontrollably…

“Miss Xia, regrettably, we noticed that your submission was incomplete. There was only this drawing

and no explanatory note in your file. I’m afraid we must disqualify you!”

“However! Are you willing to sell your design for one million!?”

The crowd gasped as Alexis’s question resounded in the hall. Annabelle was stunned and Yoi’s eye

widened.

Seeing as how Annabelle was stupefied and at loss of words, Alexis stood up and slowly walked

towards her.

“I wish to buy your design!”
