Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 121

Ashley watched Kevin's design on the big screen, and her expression remained calm. She had a rough idea of what score the judges would give Kevin. Ashley turned her gaze and caught Kevin's eyes looking her way.

Ashley was momentarily taken aback, then smiled at him.

Kevin responded with a smile. His grin was like a gentle breeze in the spring.

Soon, Kevin's design presentation ended. The judging panel began their scoring.

After some deliberation, they awarded a score of 9.5.

Ashley saw this score and raised her eyebrows knowingly, confirming her earlier guess.

The audience visibly deflated upon seeing the score. Their expression turned sour in disappointment.

"How is it just 9.5? It's still lower than Eric!"

"I thought Kevin's design was so good, he might beat Eric, but if even Kevin can't do it, then all our hopes rest on Jessica now."

"Jessica is our last hope. She has to win one for the Zyrrinthia Team!"

Meanwhile, on the stage, Eric saw Kevin's score of 9.5, and his face lit up with smugness. "Sorry, I win again. I thought the designers from the Zyrrinthia Team were something special. It turns out the people joining this Design Exchange Competition aren't impressive at all."

Kevin's face turned sullen as he retorted, "Losing to you only reflects my shortcomings, not those of the other designers at Zyrrinthia."

He spoke without a hint of subservience or arrogance.

However, Eric laughed mockingly. "But I've already beaten four of you from Zyrrinthia, including you!"

His tone dripped with disdain for the designers of Zyrrinthia.

Kevin wanted to argue back, but the facts were undeniable.

Hearing this, Ashley glanced indifferently towards Eric, her expression calm.

The audience below couldn't contain themselves anymore at this moment.

"Damn, this Eric is so arrogant!"

"He's a foreigner and looks down on us like that. It's just shameful! No matter how talented he is in design, a person like that won't succeed!"

Anyone would feel uncomfortable being looked down upon in their country.

The Zyrrinthia Team had lost four times in a row, leaving only Jessica and Ashley's designs yet to be showcased.

The audience's anger and competitive spirit were ignited, all eyes turning to Jessica, pinning all their hopes for victory on her.

"Jessica, you must win!"

"Zyrrinthia designers' reputation is in your hands!"

"Don't worry, everyone. Jessica's design skills are well-known to all. She's so talented and will definitely win! She'll beat up that Eric for sure!"

In the crowd, Frankie heard everyone's expectations for Jessica and felt a surge of excitement in his chest, his heartbeat quickening.

He thought, 'Jessica... Indeed, she is the lucky star of the Ramos family!

'If Jessica can win against Eric this time, she will surely restore the Ramos family's reputation and become the person of everyone's gratitude!

'Everything about the Ramos family, including their business, will flourish by then.'

Finally, the design draft of Jessica was presented.

The audience below all looked towards the big screen with bated breath.

It was a stunning pink gown that captivated everyone's attention. The wide skirt was adorned with flowers and vines, scattered, growing upwards as if a spring breeze had swept through an orchard, bringing thousands of blossoms to life. Its beauty was so mesmerizing that one couldn't look away. The neckline was made of sheer material and embroidered with a few pink stars.

Seeing this design that brought the essence of spring to life, the audience widened their eyes.

"So beautiful!"

"This is so gorgeous! I wish I could wear this gown!"

"True to Jessica's reputation! Truly a rising genius designer! To create such a unique design in just an hour!"

"She should be able to beat Eric this time, right?"

In the crowd below, Jaden glimpsed the design on the big screen and squinted. He scrutinized it from up to down and sneered.

It was clearly Attelia's style!

Jaden was certain it was Ashley's old design.

Jessica had indeed memorized Ashley's design and used it in the competition!
