Edwin, who had been watching Catelyn, stood up with a smile on his face and clapped. “As expected of
Miss Catelyn! You’ve truly opened my eyes. This presentation is definitely worthwhile.”
Followed by that was a sea of applause by the rest of the judges.
Lola, on the other hand, felt her face burn in embarrassment.
She had accused Catelyn of plagiarism and revoked her right to enter the competition. However, that
new draft she had just presented managed to shock and impress everyone, so much so that even the
high and mighty Edwin Atherton was here to support her! Lola bit her lip and stood up with a smile on her

power to object, anyway. “Yes, Mister Atherton.”
Lola suppressed her anger and excused herself to the washroom. She did not expect Catelyn to pull it off
since she had been busy fighting custody for her child with Jamie, but she did, and she did it-admittingly-
so well.
Plagued with frustration, she sat on the toilet seat when the sounds of heels clicking against the floor and
the sounds of chit-chats got progressively closer. “Lola must be knocking her head against the wall right

“She deserves it. I’ve never liked how arrogant she is, anyway. I heard that her mother used to be Henry
Antherton’s assistant and eventually became a mistress. Her title is even worse than ours if you think of it

“I know, right? How dare she refer to Mister Atherton as her brother? How shameless!” Lola bit her lip
harshly as her nails dug deep into her palms.
She was able to recognize the voices. They were both Kelly’s family and were part of the Athertons.

Catelyn left Chandier Jewelry cheerfully, so much so that she invited Cedrick out for lunch when she
noticed that he had texted her. After sending out the text to Cedrick, she immediately received a video
call from her best friend, Joanne. Joanne was a famous local celebrity, yet she had more anti-fans than
real fans.
Her antis, however, were the ones that pushed her to the road of fame.
Joanne had finally gotten a more likable character to play lately and had been traveling overseas to
shoot. The reception where she was at was pretty bad, so she had not been in touch with Catelyn for the
past month or so. Joanne was pleased to hear the good news from Catelyn.. “Whoa! Congratulations on
