Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Chapter 1629

Fiona really didn't feel like attending the live broadcast event, so she decided to pull out of the selection process altogether. The producers, who were banking on her newfound fame, must have been pretty frustrated to see their plans take a nosedive.

This opened a door for Yvenne, though. She skillfully painted a piece during the live stream, one that was a dead ringer for an early work she had swiped from Fiona. With H out of the picture, it was no shocker that Yvenne snagged first place.

"You know I stole those designs from you for the competition. I know you're H." "So?" Fiona chuckled lightly, not even a hint of worry crossing her face.

"Here's six hundred thousand dollars. No strings attached-it's all my savings. I want you to drop out of the designer competition."
