Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 588

Seeing her hesitate, Angela smirked, the smile not quite reaching her eyes. “What’s the matter, Contestant Number Four? Weren't you the one who claimed your design and creativity were the most valuable? I, for one, would love to hear why you used thorns and roses to express the theme of 'Revival.'”

Hailey took a deep breath, walked forward, and accepted the microphone from the host, trying to make her voice sound calm and confident.

“My piece is titled ‘Thorn Rose.’ I specifically used the motif of thorns wrapping around a rose to… to represent confinement and imprisonment. The chain is made of the purest white diamonds to achieve the most perfect fire and brilliance…”

“When the light refracts through the diamonds, passing through the thorns to illuminate the rose, it… it represents… hope and the vibrant revival of life. Th-that is my concept of revival.”

Hailey’s words were flat and uninspired.

Someone in the audience snickered. “Is Number Four just reading from a primary school script?”

“Didn't Dr. Kerrick just say all of that? Is she just repeating Dr. Kerrick’s words back to us? Is this her design concept or his?”

“Why do I get the feeling that Contestant Number Four doesn't seem to know her own design at all?”

Hailey’s face flushed bright red.

This was the speech she had prepared!

How was she supposed to know Dr. Kerrick would say it all first?

She bit her lower lip, about to offer a defense, when Daphne suddenly picked up her microphone, her expression flat. “Since Contestant Number Four can’t seem to articulate her concept, let’s talk about the core structure of your piece.”

A jolt of fear shot through Hailey.

Her heart plummeted.
