With every word Daphne spoke, the color drained a little more from Hailey's face.
Her heart seethed with indignation.
So what if her drawings weren't perfect?
As long as the design itself was good, that's all that mattered, right?
Jewelry was about the design, not the sketch.
Why were they nitpicking her preliminary sketches so much?
Could it be that Ms. Rainsford was jealous? Perhaps she saw a design that was too stunning, one that was getting hyped up online, with people even saying Hailey's work could surpass the master's...
Was that why she was so intent on tearing her down, afraid Hailey would actually eclipse her?
No wonder Daphne had been so cold and distant from the very beginning.
It was even possible that this sudden change in the rules for the second round was Daphne's doing.
She was deliberately trying to ruin her in this competition to protect her own status as a master designer!
How selfish!
And how vicious!
The more Hailey thought about it, the more convinced she became that her theory was correct.
She bit her lip, her expression a mixture of anger and stubborn defiance. “Ms. Rainsford, I admit that my drafting and technical skills are lacking. But the most important thing in jewelry design is creativity and vision. As long as I can create a piece that satisfies everyone, that proves my value!”
