Chapter 113 Such an Innocent one Among the Shrewd Herd

Ava and Hailey slept on one bed that night. It was not until now did Hailey get to know how miserable Ava’s life had been, what a delinquent father Reid was, and what a cruel stepmother Cindy had been over the years. It was even a wonder that Ava could survive in such a harsh environment. Hailey wiped the tears for Ava and stroked her hair, “You just live and work with me from now on. Let’s support each other. I’ll protect you from any hazard!” Hailey thought it was time for her to act as a shelter for her cousins now when she had enjoyed too much protection from her parents and brothers before.

The press briefing for the new products of Newman Jewelry went smoothly, thanks to the promotion

beforehand that had well paved its way. The collection of romantic stories Newman Jewelry carried out had received widespread media coverage, and attracted the participation of a huge number of netizens.

The reputation of the brand was even reinforced when the providers of the top 10 stories were duly

rewarded as promised, especially when Randal showed up for the awarding ceremony as the top star along with his fellow artists in Southern Star Entertainment. The feedback was very positive with the

comments from the fans

“Finally got our own brother to support the family business!”

“This is a smart move of Southern Star Entertainment! A star should of course be promoting the jewelry

of his own business.”

“Wondering which one of the artists would be the advertising endorser of Newman Jewelry. Just

suggesting one piece of products for each of them.” And the suggestion seemed to be taken, as the presenter of the ceremony announced that every single item of the prize-winning jewelry would be endorsed by each of the stars present. The comments thus went even more viral: “OMG! The CEO could have been so considerate that I’m literally weeping!” “Our idol finally get a decent business. Look at his content smile, I bet this is a fat one.” “Hey this is the first time I saw a brand hiring different endorsers for each piece of its products, when

other brands could only invite one star each year of at least each quarter. There is never a lack of budget in Newman Jewelry, huh!” “Those stars who terminated the contract with Southern Star Entertainment must be feeling so regretful

now. Patience proves to be a sort of rewarding virtue.”

Amongst all the activities, the rose theme became the most popular one, because the specific sort of

rose finally chosen by it would have great influences over the trend of fashion. After all, Newman Jewelry

was the leading designer that had brought the concept of “fashionable jewelry” into the trade in this

nation. It then not only kept the leading edge in the realm, but won the name of “outstanding brand” in

the list of global fashion enterprises due to this contribution.

A multitude of designing works of Newman Jewelry were still deemed as fine examples in the circle of

fashion because of their distinct style. The style did matter. Trends might get out-dated, yet the style

remained. The line of Newman Jewelry’s ‘advertisement – “Find your favorite style that suits you, as it’s

worth of you”–also inspired many about the essence of the trade.

There were three hottest genres in the rose exhibition of Poya this year – the orange “Lady Charlotte”, the brilliant yellow “Golden Ceremony” and the pink “Maiden in the Desert”. People started guessing which one of them would finally be picked by Ms. Newman.

As the presenter raised the question with deliberate cadences, all the audience on the site and in front of

the TV set held their breath for the crucial moment to come

Watching the live screen at the backstage, Hailey was with composure while Ava kept fidgeting. “Are you nervous now?” Hailey turned to her cousin. “Yes.” Ava just felt dry at the throat. “This is the first time I show everyone my design. What if they don’t like it?” She couldn’t help glimpsing at Ada, the design director, and muttered, “It’s just like standing in the court when my work has to compete with that of my teacher.” Ada returned her a cold glance. “Silly girl, you’ve only been in this trade for one year and you are now

vying with me, the top jewelry designer in this country. If someone needs to be nervous, it should be me,

OK?”

The remark was paying off. Ava then came to comfort her teacher when she herself was much more at ease, “Ada, don’t worry. You’re bound to win out.”

Ada stifled the urge to curse and observed Ava, who looked so serious now, for quite a while, then asked

Hailey, “How come there is such an innocent one among the shrewd herd of the Newmans?”

Hailey laughed. “She’s still a kid. That needs time.” Ada just rolled the eyes at the answer.

Meanwhile, Owen was on his way back to Poya. He just felt a bit of wistful not being able to locate Hailey

in the screen as he watched the live broadcast of the briefing in the car. Jose, who was making records in his notebook, uttered in a placatory tone, “Madame likes to keep a low profile. Her absent from such an occasion is also to avert the suspicion on her relationship with Randal.

The candid photo of Hailey dinning with Randal had gone so viral that she was bound to be spotted even if she only showed her profile on the site. And a new round of scandals would just get Jose to lose his job, which, though, was already quite a tough one now. Owen spoke nothing, only staring at the screen with a relaxed look. As the final result was revealed on the large screen on the site, all the journalists and audience gaped

and uttered in astonishment, “she chose two of them!” That was right. Watching the patterns on the large screen, Owen remembered the conversation with Hailey at the flower exhibition ‘Which one do you think will take the crown?” he asked.

“It doesn’t really matter which one wins out. What counts is my preference.” Hailey replied.

“Since being the top three already means the recognition of the market, it wouldn’t matter which one of

them will be picked out, as each of them is sufficient to follow the trend.” Owen agreed.

“Although market is an important factor, I’ll have to remind you that Newman Jewelry never follows any Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

sort of trend. We only create the trend.” Her answer was so confident that she really made it now.,

As a faint smile appeared on Owen’s face unnoticeably, he tapped with a finger on his lap rhythmically and gravitated to the two pieces of design as he watched them from the screen. They were respectively named “Door of Heart” and “Portal of life”.
