A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 34

Next time, even if Edward knelt down and begged me, I would never forgive Betty.

The second day was the preliminary round of the Paris Design Competition. Because it is handled by the organizer of the Paris Group, the people who came to participate in this design competition are all international top designers.

I was a little nervous in the morning. If I didn't pass the preliminary competition, I would be eliminated. Although I was very confident about my work, I was inevitably nervous.

My competitors were all designers who were well-known in the world. I didn't have enough confidence to beat them.

William saw my nervousness. He stretched out his hand and gently held my wrist, and said to me lightly, "Don't be nervous, just keep Usual Mind."

Hearing what William said, I could not help but nod faintly.

Soon, there were already Miss Etiquette and Master of Ceremonies coming on stage. After they said some words of celebration, a judge came to the stage.

When I saw Edward appearing in the jury, I was wide-eyed and shocked.

Why would Edward be the judge this time? I looked at William who had a serious look, "You should be careful."

Be careful? What did he mean?

I looked at William in confusion, he explained slowly, "Edward may deliberately make trouble for you. Don't be afraid. I will always watch here."

Will Edward do it?

I bit my lips and nodded. After tidying up my thoughts, I calmed myself down.

After I heard these, I recalled how carefully Edward preserved the picture.

The designer's clothes were worn on the model designated. I watched them nervously. Until the seventh model came out in my wedding dress, I saw the host show a touch of surprise and satisfaction.

I couldn't help but breathe out, and I felt a little relaxed.

However, Edward suddenly looked at a judge beside him and said something. The judge's face suddenly darkened, and he looked sharply at me below the stage.

I was confused by that sharp gaze, and I didn't know what Edward said to the judge.

Just as I was feeling uneasy, the vote had already begun.

There were only ten people could pass the preliminary contest, which meant there were only ten places. However, there were a hundred people participating in this design competition. In other words, I had to defeat so many people to get into the top 10.

When the names of the preliminaries reached my ears, my relaxed mood once again became extremely tense.

"Sevier, Cheng Ni, Ur Wuzhuo, Haral..."

I heard a series of names except for my name. I couldn't help but nervously grab my clothes.

William was not nervous at all, he just comforted me and said, "Ashley, relax, even if you fail this time, it doesn't matter, you can continue to participate next year."

I know William is comforting me. This design competition is also very important for the Time Group. If I fail, it will also be a loss for the Time Group.

When the judges announced the eighth advancer, I finally heard my name, and suddenly, I leaned weakly in the arms of William.

Finally... advanced.

It was just a preliminary that made me worry, I don’t know if I can pass the next competition.

"Congratulations to the top ten contestants for participating in the next round." The host on the stage repeated in French and English after speaking in fluent Chinese.

I stared nervously at the stage, and an inexplicable deep gaze looked at me.

I turned around and bumped into the depths of Edward's long and dark eyes. After seeing the inexplicable eyes of Edward, my heart seemed to be hit by something violently, my emotions turned to complicated.

I immediately turned around in panic. I didn't want to see Edward's strange gaze, so I concentrated on Miss MC.

The host told us, ten contestants. Next, we need to choose one of the ten judges as a mentor and with the mentor to enter the next step and design on the spot.

Sure enough, it is an international competition, not only to show your work on stage but also to design on the spot. This is to prevent some people from taking other people's design drawings.

I was not very nervous about the rules of this competition. However, who should I choose as my mentor?

When I was hesitating, a figure walked toward me. On top of my head was a voice that was extremely cold and inexplicable. "Follow me."

The other nine contestants on the stage looked at me with a jealous look.

Most of them were women of the same age as me. They must have paid attention to Edward since entering the stadium.

When they heard that they were going to choose a mentor, my competitors should have wanted to choose Edward, but they didn't expect that Edward chose me, which disappointed them.

I panicked and looked away. I looked at Edward's handsome face and said, "I want to choose another mentor, really..." "Hey... Edward, what are you doing." I just wanted to walk in front of another young and handsome mentor, but Edward grabbed my wrist.

Edward forcibly pulled me off the stage and came to the car, giving me an aggressive order, "Go in."

"Edward, as I said, I don't want you to be my mentor."

I didn't want to have any contact with him.

I was about to leave, but Edward pressed me on the car. His hot and even dangerous breathe rushed toward me, making me shiver.

"Ashley, do you want to be kissed by me here, or get in the car obediently? Choose one." When I was frightened and embarrassed, his perfectly handsome face is approaching to me, his thinly and coldly breathing swept across my nose.
