Chapter 636: Chapter 636: Never Dream of Having It Easy
She glanced at Liana Adams, and asked, "Miss Adams, can you frame such a question? Isn’t this competition about judging good and bad design?"
She gave a slight smile, unhurried and calm, her voice gentle yet cold.
"From a professional design perspective, your design can’t be called design at all. Giving you a low score is my respect for design."
As her words fell, the meticulously made-up features of Liana Adams twisted instantly.
She gritted her teeth, stamped her high-heeled foot on the ground, her voice a little frantic and aggrieved.
"Charlotte Thompson, stop acting so high and mighty." She said bitterly, "Isn’t it just because you know that I have some connection with Evelyn Curtis, you deliberately targeted me?"
Grinding her teeth, her face finally softened a bit. She dusted off the non-existent dirt on her skirt and laughed, "Charlotte Thompson, you indeed appear different inside and out. Evelyn Curtis has been missing for so long, dare you say that it has nothing to do with you?"
At the mention of the name Evelyn Curtis, a hint of surprise flashed in Charlotte’s eyes.
She hadn’t heard that name for a long time, and if not for Liana Adams’ comment, she would have almost forgotten her.
No wonder Liana Adams had such great animosity towards her, it was related to Evelyn.
The atmosphere became subtly tense; Liana Adams looked at Charlotte, a sneer at the corner of her mouth.
But Charlotte stayed silent.
Listening to the conversation, Coco grew angry. She stepped forward and said, "Liana Adams, you’re crossing the line. It’s obvious that you’re not as skilled, how can you blame the judges for giving you a low score?"
Upon hearing this, Liana Adams gave Coco a smirk and slowly said, "You’re the assistant of the famous designer, Charlotte Thompson, aren’t you?"
Coco gave her a cautious look and said, "What do you want?"
In response, Liana Adams innocently shrugged and said, "What can I do? What I’m curious about is, what has Charlotte offered you for you to be so protective of her? There’s a saying that the eunuch is more anxious than the emperor. Charlotte hasn’t said anything yet, why are you so agitated?"
Pausing slightly, she gave a mysterious smile and said, "Feeling guilty?"
"You..."
Coco’s face turned red, and she was so angry that she couldn’t speak.
Charlotte suppressed the unusual look in her eyes. She pulled Coco to her side, composed herself, and said sternly, "Miss Adams, mind your language. If you feel that my scores are biased, you can complain to the show’s organizers, rather than attacking me and my assistant here in the hallway."
Upon hearing those words, Liana Adams smiled and said, "I came to participate in this show without the slightest expectation to advance to the second round."
She didn’t bother to hide her feelings. After seeing Charlotte frowning, she beamed, "I just wanted to irk you, Charlotte. You know what you’ve done to Evelyn Curtis. I am here to remind you that even if you forget, there will always be a myriad of people like me to remind you."
She paused for a moment and laughed.
"But you, you will never have peace."
With that, she picked up her handbag, turned around in her high heels, and left. It was not until her figure disappeared, that Coco murmured, "This woman is strange, she talks as if she has some deep grudge against us. Let’s ignore her, sis, let’s go."
Charlotte withdrew her gaze unemotionally and nodded. She was the first one to push open the door to the lounge and walked in.
