Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 575

Marianne's good mood for the day was instantly ruined.

She clenched her fists, her eyes turning cold.

Those two fools don't know what's good for them. Once the competition is over and Ms. Rainsford publicly announces she's taking Hailey as her protégé, it'll be their turn to come crawling to me!

"That's number 4, right? The one everyone's been talking about, who's supposedly going to be Ms. Rainsford's protégé?"

"As expected of Ms. Rainsford's hand-picked successor. She's really something."

"It's been five minutes and not a single designer has started drawing. They're all obviously still thinking about how to fit the theme while creating an exquisite jewelry design. But while everyone is still brainstorming, number 4 has already started!"

"Her mind works so fast!"

"That's why she caught Ms. Rainsford's eye and was personally invited to compete."

…

A sudden wave of amazed chatter rose from the crowd.

When Marianne heard "number 4," she immediately looked up at the stage. Number 4 was none other than her daughter, Hailey.

On the stage, Hailey was the only one who had put her pencil to paper. The other contestants were all still lost in thought, none of them having started.

Marianne's mood instantly soared again. As expected of the Wynn family's lucky star, she always made her proud!

Hailey was now, without a doubt, the most watched contestant in the entire venue. Whether it was the individual feeds magnified by the industry elites in the audience or the close-ups on the live stream, Hailey's view count was far ahead, more than double that of the second-place contestant.

She was thrilled, too. Her hand trembled as she sketched.

However, she couldn't be too obvious. Starting to draw the moment the theme was announced would make it seem like she had been given the topic in advance. She now had these designs in her possession, and fame was just a matter of time. She didn't want her reputation tainted by any hint of scandal.

So, she pretended to brainstorm, deliberately waiting five minutes before she finally began to draw.

…

Two hours later.

"Time's up!"

The host announced, watching the hourglass.

All the contestants immediately put down their pencils.
