She dashed to the studio right away, everything that had been wrecked had been replaced, and Kari was diligently sketching designs.
Brittany pushed open the door and Kari could hear her voice.
"Brittany, you're back."
Kari put down her paintbrush, her eyes soft and clear, "The studio's all tidied up. We'll continue with business when you recover."
The studio had been vandalized before, so the opening hours were delayed.
Brittany looked around. Kari was very meticulous, she had replaced the sunflowers in her office with a more vibrant bouquet.
"OK."
The next day, the studio quietly resumed business.
Just as Brittany had anticipated, even though the business had reopened, there were no orders. The day the studio was vandalized, a reporter happened to pass by and the news was widely reported. Everyone in the city knew about her past, who would place an order?
Kari was very anxious, worried about not being able to sustain it. Brittany, surprisingly calm, comforted Kari, "Do you remember? I've signed up for the Crown Jewel Design Challenge next month in the name of the studio."
Three years ago at the Crown Jewel Design Challenge, that incident had happened. Now, she wanted to start over, and the Crown Jewel Design Challenge was the perfect platform.
"Brittany, have you figured it out yet?"
"Yeah, let's prepare well for next month."
Once they decided to enter the competition, Brittany and Kari went all out to prepare for the competition.
At a private custom studio in Imperial City.
"Loraine, I heard Brittany also signed up for the Crown Jewel Design Challenge." Sydney looked at Loraine, inadvertently revealing Brittany's latest move.
Isaac's protective attitude towards Brittany was too obvious, it was rumored that the Dustin family had already lost several big orders. Clearly, this was Isaac's doing.
Sydney told Loraine about it, the latter's eyes flashed with anger, which Sydney noticed.
"Loraine, I think Isaac might have been fooled. Brittany often lies. You should think about how to make him see Brittany's true colors."
Loraine put her pen down, "For this Crown Jewel Design Challenge, I'm a judge."
She wanted to see what kind of design draft Brittany could come up with!
Sydney left the studio and received a call from Patrina, "Sydney, shall we go to the class reunion at the end of the month?"
The class reunion was planned by Patrina. Finn was from her batch, she wanted to show off her charm at the reunion, to let Finn know, she was the best choice.
[Is it Finn?]
[No, my sister broke up with Finn a long time ago, my sister...] Patrina pretended to hesitate but her words revealed a gossipy tone: [She married a very handsome man.]
[What's his name? Does he have a car and a house?]
Patrina: [He has a car for commuting. I've seen him dining with my sister, she was the one who paid!]
This was obviously implying that Brittany's husband was a freeloader!
[Haha——]
Sure enough, the group chat exploded: [He's living off a woman?]
[This is hilarious, Brittany is also a daughter of the Dustin family, how could she think like this?]
[A good-looking guy... isn't the kind who lives off a woman, right? Brittany, come out and tell us, what were you thinking?]
Under Patrina's guidance, the people in the group chat started talking more and more outrageously, even suspecting that Isaac was a male gold digger!
Hannah was so angry that her forehead vein was popping out, "Bri, look at these people, they're obviously doing this on purpose!"
