Bride to Be, Not Me

Chapter 121 The venue went into lockdown. Signals were blocked and would only be restored after the judges had finished voting.

This measure was implemented to prevent leaks and eliminate any possibility of buying votes or coordinated manipulation.

When the four finalist entries, each randomly numbered, appeared on the massive screen, Hugo from Melody & Loops Creations could no longer maintain his composure.

Beneath each featured piece was an additional crochet—a supplementary piece submitted for the international championship.

As per the rules, any company competing at the international level was required to submit two works.

When Janice's crochet, with its bold mix of contrasting colors and asymmetric shapes, was unveiled, the entire venue was struck into stunned silence. It wasn't just Melody & Loops Creations—every company present was visibly shocked.

In the world of crochet, double-sided stitching was already regarded as a rare and highly intricate technique. But the use of differing colors and asymmetric shapes was even more groundbreaking and unheard of.

Even a powerhouse like Melody & Loops Creations couldn't guarantee they had a seamstress skilled enough to pull off something of this caliber. And even if they did, it wouldn't have been executed this flawlessly and certainly not to this extent.

Murmurs began to ripple through the audience.

"Is that an asymmetrical, multi-colored double-sided crochet?" someone whispered in awe.

Another person sighed. "It must be. Didn't you see the 3D rotation preview?"

"Could this be Melody & Loops Creations' entry?"
