Chapter 398 I Know Your Secret! The room became noticeably quieter.
The woman's words had a point.
Considering Casey had stepped down, it wasn't sufficient to take Raegan's claim at face value without proof that she was indeed Casey's offspring.
Several journalists agreed, "Indeed, we can't just accept her claim without question." "Let's have her show us Mrs. Hayes' signature embroidery skills, the Hayes Embroidery Method, known only to her daughter." "Exactly, exactly..." Raegan saw through that the woman with the sunglasses was here to stir up trouble.
After whispering something to her assistant Judd, Raegan then announced with a smile, "Well, if you all insist, I'll attempt it." Shortly after, some set up an embroidery frame, prepared a piece of silk, and placed an embroidery needle and some threads next to it.
The audience's anticipation grew.
This arrangement was a nod to the Hayes Embroidery Method, renowned for its method where the needle wasn't changed, nor the thread cut.
When it was time to change colors, the new color was integrated using a concealed stitch technique.
Even though a documentary once showcased Casey's method, no one had been able to replicate it just by viewing it.
Raegan sat down, elegantly picked up
the needle, and began swiftly sketching a bird on the silk with skilled hands.
Her remarkable dexterity and speed captivated the onlookers. Everyone was mesmerized, puzzled at how she accomplished such a feat.
In under thirty minutes, Raegan brought a lively bird to existence on the silk, portraying it with astonishing realism.
The eyes of the bird, in particular, looked so alive from every angle that it left the audience without words.
For a brief moment, the hall was so silent one could detect the sound of a falling pin.
After two decades, the sight of the incredible Hayes Embroidery Method again left everyone utterly amazed.
They were lost for words. All attention
was on Raegan's skilled hands, acknowledging their extraordinary value.
Soon, the quiet was pierced by a single set of applause.
