Chapter 394 Pulling Strings

Though it sounded simple, achieving it was far from easy.

Eugene privately reached out to several high-end jewellery brands, but all turned him down. Their feedback was either prior commitments to other artists or unwillingness to take the risk under his name. Despite his connections, borrowing jewellery under his own name posed too much of a risk for the brands.

Since he had promised Violeta, Eugene was determined to make it happen.

That evening, Eugene was drinking with Lance Sowle, the deputy general manager of the company.

After a few rounds, Eugene brought up the idea of borrowing jewellery from the brands and asked Lance to be his guarantor.

Lance sobered at the request.

"Me? As a guarantor? Eugene, you know I never take sides in such matters. If I help you now, what am I supposed to say when Winnie asks me to help Tracy borrow jewellery next time?"

Eugene sneered coldly and asked, "Can Tracy's commercial value compare to Violeta's? She's not even associated with any of the top luxury brands. Isn't it a bit much for her to wear high-end jewellery? You're really stretching it."

Lance nudged his shoulder and said, "Don't be so sure. The Blind Detective is rated above nine. While Tracy's resources can't match Violeta's, it's anyone's guess who will win the award this time."

Many criticised Tracy's acting online.

However, the Skyward Award judges don't simply follow the crowd. They have their own standards.
