Chapter 270:
The disparity was impossible to ignore—her own display attracted barely a third of the attention that Delilah’s space commanded.
“Ladies and gentlemen, behold ‘Starlit Dreams,’ my meticulously crafted bracelet.” Delilah stood beside the display case in her white evening gown, radiating elegance. She addressed the audience with steady confidence. “This piece draws its inspiration from Nyx, the Goddess of the Night. It challenges the conventional, blending ancient mythology with contemporary design. Embedded with blue diamonds, this bracelet not only symbolizes Nyx’s children but also embodies fertility and prosperity. I hope it brings every wearer closer to realizing her dreams.”
The audience burst into applause as Delilah concluded. “How inventive! To use Nyx’s symbolism of fertility as a metaphor for boundless potential is truly creative.”
“And the craftsmanship! Each angle presents a new aspect of its beauty, truly exceptional.”
“It’s clear the Edwards family has a talent in Delilah. Mrs. Edwards must be overjoyed.”
A pleased smile played on Delilah’s lips as she soaked in the flood of compliments. She exchanged a significant look with Laurie, who was close at hand. Laurie had specifically chosen these guests to ensure Delilah received ample support and praise.
Kenneth had set the stakes: the one who stood out at this exhibition would be named Stella’s second-in-command. While being Stella’s assistant wasn’t the highest honor, Delilah was determined not to let Janice outshine her.
The thought of Delilah, whom she had raised with care, losing to Janice was equally intolerable for Laurie.
“But isn’t the one next to it even more amazing?” A voice suddenly cut through the praise, redirecting the crowd’s gaze to the neighboring display case.

Inside, there was another bracelet, one that radiated a quiet, refined elegance. In contrast to Delilah’s extravagant ‘Starlit Dreams,’ this piece embraced a more simple and understated design.
Its minimalist design disregarded decorated details for patterns that flowed with an understated grace. What made it so captivating was its versatility; from every angle, the bracelet seemed to change, presenting a new visual interpretation with each turn.
It wasn’t immediately striking. Rather, its allure deepened the more one observed, compelling prolonged attention.
“This bracelet is called ‘Mirage.'” Janice approached, her presence as mesmerizing as her creation. She stood next to the display, embodying the same understated elegance as her bracelet—both timeless and effortlessly enchanting. “My name is Janice Green, and I am the designer of ‘Mirage.'”
“Wow! She’s stunning, and so is her bracelet. They complement each other perfectly! It’s no wonder she crafted something so outstanding.”
“I was drawn to Delilah’s bracelet initially, but Mirage has something extra. Delilah’s design is like an ordinary girl dolled up in fancy attire, whereas Janice’s bracelet resembles someone naturally graceful, no decoration needed.”
“Absolutely! You have hit the mark.”
The crowd started moving towards Janice’s display, captivated by its subtle elegance.
