As I was about to leave Jennifer’s office, I suddenly heard Jennifer’s clear voice from behind:
“Brayan… Are you really that eager for me to withdraw from the competition?”
Bravan turned his head.
No answer, no response.
“How about we make a bet instead?”
The bet made Brayan’s usually cold and indifferent eyes show a hint of interest for the first time.
“What’s the bet?”
Jennifer saw that Brayan’s interest had been piqued by her, so she said, “Let’s bet on who will win the Starlight Jewelry Design Competition this time, me or Catalina? If I win… you have to agree to divorce me.”
Bravan’s eyes were like a hurricane when he heard the word “divorce” from Jennifer’s mouth.
Don’t be fooled by Jennifer’s calm exterior, she was actually a nervous wreck inside.
She wasn’t afraid of not winning the jewelry design competition against Catalina.
She was afraid that Brayan wouldn’t accept the bet.
The silent time in the office was a bit longer than Jennifer expected.

Jennifer didn’t know how long they had been silent, finally, she saw Brayan slightly open his lips and say,
“Okay, I bet.”
After saying that, Brayan left Jennifer’s office without looking back.
Jennifer sat slumped in the chair, her heart pounding.
Did Brayan actually… agree?
Jennifer touched her chest, didn’t feel anything real.
Brayan, who used to resist divorce so much, now actually accepted her bet. Jennifer isn’t sure if it’s because Brayan has so much confidence in Catalina, believing she can definitely beat her, or for some other
cason.
But no matter what, she and Brayan finally took a new step forward in their long–standing stagnant divorce.
For Jennifer, whether it’s for her own brand or to divorce Brayan, this Starlight Jewelry Design Competition, she was determined to win and not allow herself to lose.
After Brayan left Jennifer’s company, he went to Catalina’s studio.
Before leaving, I took a detour to the flower shop and bought a bunch of pink roses.
“You said Jennifer also joined the Starlight Jewelry Design Competition?”
When Brayan brought this message to Catalina, Catalina was surprised.
“Jennifer, I mean, seriously, she’s touched the wall so many times.

before, why does she still want to copy me!” Catalina pretended to be regretful, “I opened a studio, she opened one too, I went to find collectors, she did too, I wanted to go to Treasure Jewelry Fashion Week, she also wanted to go… and now that I’m entering at competition, she actually signed up too…”
“That’s called ‘A poor imitation“.”
Brayan’s words made Catalina couldn’t help but chuckle in her heart.
As long as Jennifer stays in Brayan’s good books like this, I bet Mrs. LeBlanc’s position will be hers in no time.
“Jennifer has already skipped the audition through Peter’s connections and made it to the preliminaries. The LeBlanc Group may not be among the top ten global jewelry brands, but leave it to me, I will make
also go straight to the preliminaries… Whatever Jennifer has, you will have too.”

Brayan’s voice was as usual, no big deal, but confident.
Catalina believed that Brayan would walk the talk.
The two of them talked a bit more about the competition, but Brayan didn’t say a word to Catalina about betting with Jennifer using divorce as leverage.
With the bet with Brayan, Jennifer was even more motivated.
The preliminary theme of the Starlight Jewelry Design Competition. was “sea”
The first impression the ocean gives people is “blue.” Sienna and Aliya both suggested Jennifer design a piece of jewelry with a sapphire or
has blue diamond.
Jennifer could tell that they still had a filter on the previous “Hope

Diamond” until now.
The “Hope Diamond” is truly a classic. However, because there is already such a great work like the “Hope Diamond,” Jennifer feels that it’s very difficult for future generations to surpass it in design. They might accidentally be labeled as plagiarizing or imitating.
Jennifer thought all day and finally started writing.
When she got tired of painting, she would just lie down on the desk and take a nap. The painting actually went smoother than she had expected.
Over at Catic Studio, when Catalina found out that Jennifer was also participating in the Starlight Jewelry Design Competition, she gave Curtis a task to make sure he captured Jennifer preparing her design. sketches for the preliminary round no matter what.
Curtis used to be her employee, totally loyal to her. So she sneakily placed Curtis in Jennifer’s studio, allowing her to keep tabs on Jennifer at all times.
In the manager’s office, Catalina was drawing.
She painted jewelry that at first glance looked just like the “Hope Diamond,” but even more magnificent than the “Hope Diamond.”
