A representative of the competition organizers looked at Jacqueline Madan coldly. “Miss Madan, the International Jewelry Design Competition held by the Milan World Expo has thirty years of history. The competition could sustain until now and become a world-renowned competition event which attracts jewelry designers all over the world precisely because of our fair judging principles. Please explain if you’re doubting the fairness of the competition since you’re publicly accusing a judge of the competition.”
With such a thing happening, the Milan World Expo Jewelry Association naturally couldn’t ignore it. Moreover, Jacqueline Madan wasn’t accusing anyone else but the guest judge that the International Jewelry Design Competition had especially invited, Mr. Jill. Since they’d sincerely invited him to judge this competition, they naturally couldn’t allow others to accuse him.
More importantly, a participant accusing a judge would also negatively affect the reputation of the International Jewelry Design Competition. It was extremely serious, as it might make some undiscerning people doubt the fairness of the competition.
His icy cold glare was like a physical knife cutting her body. Jacqueline Madan couldn’t quite take it and took a step back. “I… I didn’t doubt the fairness of the competition or accuse a judge. Just now, I was merely having a conflict with Miss Wen and wasn’t accusing Teacher Jill.”
At this point, Jacqueline Madan finally sorted out her mind and hazy emotions gradually as she calmed down.
She only said that she was having a conflict with Wen Xinya but didn’t mention anything else, trying to use such ambiguous words to sweep the matter under the carpet and clear her own name.
Wen Xinya watched coldly aside as Jacqueline Madan expressing her weakness as if looking at a clown’s performance.
Jacqueline Madan took in a deep breath, her thoughts now finally clear, and looked at Wen Xinya begrudgingly with her greenish-blue eyes. “Miss Wen, indeed, I’m somewhat resentful of you winning the competition. It’s a rule in the jewelry design field that the defeated can challenge the winner in terms of jewelry design. I don’t know why Miss Wen wants to make a big issue out of this, making it seem like I’m accusing Teacher Jill. By doing so, have you thought about the consequences to Teacher Jill’s reputation?”
Jacqueline Madan reacted quickly, hurriedly wanting to push the blame to Wen Xinya.
At this point, the person in question, Jill de Castei, walked slowly into the crowd. His light blue eyes stared at Jacqueline Madan harshly. “Miss Madan, you’re lying. Although I haven’t known Wen for a long time, I know that Wen is a woman with a character like a bedazzling gem.”
Wen Xinya didn’t expect Teacher Jill to actually speak up for her. Within those light blue eyes were trust and admiration for her. Suddenly, she felt very touched.
Jacqueline Madan was stunned. Facing the person in question, she somewhat felt guilty and panicky. However, she very quickly calmed her emotions down. “Teacher Jill, you’re being too unfair to me by saying things like this in public. Because you know Miss Wen, you feel that she’s a woman with a character like a bedazzling gem. However, you don’t know me. How do you know what kind of person I am and what’s your basis for assuming that I’m lying?”
Saying which, she put on a wronged expression and faced the reporters’ cameras.
Her words were reasonable, so she also felt confident as her slouching spine gradually straightened. Her towering height of 1.75 meters made her fill up with a great charm.
Listening to Jacqueline Madan’s words of distortion, Wen Xinya looked solemn. As she was about to speak, she was stopped by Teacher Jill’s gaze.
Jill stared at Jacqueline Madan coldly. “As a jewelry design judge, I can tell a designer’s class and character from her products. Wen’s soul is pure, that’s why she can have such great expression in the soul of jewelry design at such a tender age.”
And also because of this, he was willing to befriend Wen Xinya and give her pointers in terms of jewelry design.
Jill’s words were very persuasive. The judges present all nodded their heads uncontrollably, demonstrating approval of his words. They had all admired Wen Xinya’s products because they gave off a pure, stunning feeling.
It was this kind of pureness that made her express the significance and business value in the soul of her jewelry designs.
Jacqueline Madan’s face looked panicky as she was about to speak.
However, Wen Xinya didn’t give her the chance. She retrieved her phone and looked at her quietly with empathy and sympathy in her eyes. “Miss Madan, we, the Chinese, are never easy to bully. We bear with things not because we’re timid, weak, or fearful, but because of the forbearing manners in our blood that have been passed down for many generations over the past thousands of years. The fact that we keep to our bottom line doesn’t mean that we’ve already lost our sharp claws.”
Wen Xinya stood quietly before Jacqueline Madan, her silvery-white mini cheongsam outlined her slightly superior body which was thin yet stylish and gorgeous. Her straightened spine kept radiating her people’s pride and her country’s glamor, which didn’t tolerate anyone’s tainting.
Wen Xinya’s words made everyone break into commotion.
Such a Wen Xinya made Jacqueline Madan suddenly panic as a bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart. “Miss Wen, I don’t get what you mean.”
Of course, Jacqueline Madan knew just how sharp were the claws of this China dog before her. If not for her fast reaction, her life would have been ruined. Thus, she daren’t let her guard down.
Wen Xinya looked at her with a cold gaze. “So…” She fondled with the phone in her hand leisurely. “Never try to challenge our bottom line. Otherwise, you won’t be able to pay the price.”
To match the silvery-white mini cheongsam with lotus painted with green ink on her, Wen Xinya had on pink lipstick. Her light pink lips were like the petals of blooming cherry blossoms, soft yet beautiful.
However, at this point, such harsh words actually came out of such soft and tender lips. As the lips moved, the fine lines on them spewed out icy-cold sharpness.
“Miss Wen, are you threatening me?” Jacqueline Madan sneered. She disregarded Wen Xinya’s threatening words and sent a challenging gaze to her. However, somehow, when she saw that golden phone with diamonds in Wen Xinya’s hand, her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat and for some reason, her expression froze.
