Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin)

Chapter 302

Seline moved ahead, giving Suzanne a look. Her face lit up with a soft smile as she said loudly, "I won't take up much of your time. Let's begin with Julie."

Since Julie was first on the agenda, there were no objections to starting with her. She nodded quickly, hooked her tablet to the display, and showcased her work to everyone. As the first presenter, she felt a bit anxious.

With a laser pointer in hand, she directed it toward her presentation on the screen and started to explain, albeit with a slight hesitation in her voice. "Here's a jewelry collection I created with a floral theme, including a necklace and earrings..."

Macey admired Julie's creation and couldn't resist complimenting it. "This design is incredibly ethereal. I believe many women would adore it."

Suzanne, on the other hand, wore a slight frown. Although the work was aesthetically pleasing, it lacked originality and distinguishing characteristics. The designs were intended for competition, not merely for display in a boutique, which was two completely different purposes.

Seline instinctively looked at Henry, leaned in, and softly asked, "Dad, what do you think?"

She felt unsure about her ability to evaluate designs and wanted to avoid making a rash decision.

Henry frowned at Seline, questioning her sense of style. Noticing his displeasure, Seline quickly smiled and said, "I just want to know your thoughts."

Henry gave a nod and scribbled a note on the paper he was holding. Seline glanced at the list he was reviewing and noticed an "X" marked beside Julie's name. She instantly grasped the meaning.
