Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 336

Although Queenie had told the public that she had voluntarily resigned from Lux Jewelry, everyone knew full well what she had really done. However, Leanna had dropped the lawsuit and stopped holding her accountable at the time, while Lux Jewelry parted with her on good terms without revealing too much about her wrongdoings since they'd had a nice time working together. After leaving Lux Jewelry, she'd kept out of sight for some time. However, given what she'd done before, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't make trouble in this time's competition.

After hearing Harvey's words, Leanna pursed her lips for a moment. Then, she said, "I'll be careful."

Harvey had come to remind her this time. After chatting with her for a bit, he excused himself and left.

Leanna stood in place for a while before checking the time. Why isn't that b*stard back yet? Just when she wanted to go out to wait for him, there came the person she and Harvey had just talked about.

Queenie was no longer as cocky and scornful as she had been in front of Leanna in the past, but she didn't look very pleased either. She said nonchalantly, "At last, we're meeting at the competition. This time, I'll let you know what a real designer is like, unlike those who have to rely on their backdoor connections to get to where they are today."

The instant she came over, Leanna knew nothing good would come out of her mouth. She replied with a smile, "Okay. I'll also show you the skills of The Designer Competition's real winner."

Queenie's face changed color at Leanna's words. Despite her unwillingness to admit it, she could never change the fact that she had taken the latter's place and gone to Aeras as the first prize winner of the Emerging Designer Competition back then.

Just then, an unfamiliar man's sardonic voice rang behind Leanna. "What a bold statement, eh?"

Leanna looked back; the speaker just now was a mixed-race middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. At the sight of him, Queenie instantly dropped her head as if she'd been hard done by. Seems like he's Queenie's mentor, thought Leanna to herself.

Robert Debauche eyed Leanna frostily. "McK, huh? I've seen your previous works. Well, you're gifted indeed, but there are many more designers in the world who are more talented than you. I'd say you'd better humble yourself."

Leanna replied unemotionally, "That depends on who I'm humbling myself to. Why should I humble myself to someone unworthy of respect?"

"Do you mean I'm also not worth your respect?"
