Chapter 56 Find Out Who That Woman Is
Ezra opened his eyes all of a sudden.
Rose was taken aback by the action and swiftly ran out of the makeup lounge. Seconds later, Ezra’s assistant brought in another woman who’d dressed just like Rose earlier.
The assistant said apologetically, “I’m so sorry, sir. I mistook the other woman for Ms. Raeyna … ”
Ezra looked at Raeyna, noting how she’d dressed just like the woman from earlier – hair tied up in a ponytail, wearing a black face mask. Even her left arm was bound up in a medical sling.
“They do look pretty similar, “Ezra noted, amused.
But the woman earlier had asked him if he had a twin brother. Did that mean she’d met someone who looked like him before? He was certain he was the only person who had his looks!
“Hm.”
Curiosity piqued, Ezra called his assistant over.
“Find out who that woman from earlier is. Now!”
Raeyna was left feeling disappointed.
She said flatly, “I can just touch up your makeup a little, and you can head on out after.”
According to the event schedule, Ezra only needed to show up onstage to present the winning piece. The event had only made it to the jewelry piece showcasing for the time being.
Meanwhile, Rose had found a seat amongst the audience, waiting for the participants‘ pieces to be revealed one by one.
When the session neared its end, the host announced, “Now let us invite our 28th participant, Ms. Kelly Shaffer.”
Rose’s heart leaped into her throat as she watched Kelly walk onstage, dressed in a striking red dress. She was all smiles, wearing Rose’s favorite color today
The big screen displayed the necklace design, its smooth structure and lines catching everyone’s attention.
At the bottom right was the name ‘Kelly Shaffer‘ underneath a flame symbol. The sight–made Rose curl her hands into fists.
The host asked Kelly, “What a stunning design, Ms. Kelly! May we know what this flame symbol means?” How would Kelly know what it meant? When she got her hands on the design, she noticed the symbol of a flame drawn at the bottom corner.
Not knowing what it meant, she decided to write her name beneath it.
With a grin, Kelly answered, “This is just a habit of mine. I like adding a flame symbol to my drawings or writings. If it were to mean anything. I’d say it means my unquenchable passion for design.”
She then winked, trying to act cutesy. The crowd went wild with sounds of appreciation.

Miles, however, frowned upon seeing the flame symbol from the VIP seating row. He recognized it when he saw Ms. Flora’s designs through Evan.
It was Ms. Flora’s signature mark for her drawings. But Kelly Shaffer was not Ms. Flora. A strange light glinted in Miles‘ eyes.
Meanwhile, someone brought out ‘Kelly’s‘ necklace. The moment it was revealed, a wave of gasps washed through the crowd.
A stunning, silver necklace was presented on stage, inlaid with a large fire opal in the center and flanked by several others.
It was undoubtedly the most perfectly crafted piece of jewelry among all the other pieces. The craftsmanship was exquisite, and some judges even gave it a 10/10.
After they’d given their points, the attention now turned to Jonathan’s points. Though he was as much a judge as the rest, he wasn’t present in the venue with them.
He was currently in a special private lounge to the side, watching the competition proceed through a live. telecast.
The moment Kelly’s design was presented, he’d immediately recognized it to be Rose’s work. How could Rose’s design have fallen into Kelly’s hands…
“The design and final product are exquisite,” he said coldly. “I’d like to meet Ms. Kelly Shaffer in person.”
