Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 362

Chapter 362 Honor At Stake In The Competition

Sinclair was so shocked that Leah did not know who Hendrik was.

"Ms. White, are you serious that you don't know who Hendrik is? It's all thanks to him that you can leave the hotel safely this morning."

"He's someone influential and powerful that appears out of nowhere; he leads the Kendrick Group to become the world's top hundredth enterprise and company. It was rumored that he had an elite armed force…"

Leah suddenly remembered that she was rescued by an impressive man this morning.

She shook her head helplessly and said, "But I really don't know him."

Sinclair cast a complicated look at her and said, "W-Well, maybe he saved you spontaneously?"

Leah did not think about it anymore; she put all her mind and attention into the competition happening in three days.

The competitors had to design a necklace; there was no rigid theme to the design.

She wanted to secure her cooperation with the HJ Corporation by winning this competition, so her theme would be closely related to the Victor family. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Ms. White, is it true that you want to design a necklace for the Victor family?" Sinclair was shocked by

her decision.

After all, the Victor family was a centuries-old noble family that had seen way too many luxurious accessories.

She had to come out with a flawless design; if not, she would be ridiculed by the public.

She was very determined; she said firmly, "Yes, I want everyone to recognize my talent."

HJ Corporation did an excellent job marketing the upcoming competition; it made headlines in the local news in Qustraebar.

"Candidates and themes of the HJ Design Competition announced!"

Everyone was dumbfounded by Leah's chosen theme.

All the people were talking about it.

"What did I see? The Victor family behind HJ Corporation isn't as powerful as before, but this candidate still tries to get on their good side."

"Hey you, even though the Victor family's quality declined over the years, they're still influential and have made a lot of contributions to the prosperity of our country."

"Who is Sarah White? Is she a foreign designer?"

Her name was largely discussed on the internet; the media from Pasteria noticed it and quickly reported it.

"Sarah White went to a foreign country to get on good terms with the Victor family!"

The citizens of Pasteria were furious. "Is she a retard? She totally brings humiliation to our country!"

"What a joke! She dares to design something for the Victor family? Is she unaware of the family's involvement in the design industry?

"H-Hello? Mr. Ford, it's time for you to take over this matter! She's really damaging our country's reputation!"

At night, Leah lay on the bed in the hotel room, scrolling through these comments, but she was not affected one bit.

I'm not bringing humiliation to my country; I just want to cooperate with the HJ Corporation.

If I can be their chief designer, I could earn an unimaginably huge amount of money in a year.

"Tomorrow is the day..." She muttered and sighed softly.

Inside a quiet castle, someone stood gloomily in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window. The room was dark, and there was a faint floral scent in it.

A servant stepped forward to him and asked, "Mr. Hendrik, is there anything you want to do with it? I'll place your order in the kitchen."

Hendrik turned around; his breathtaking face could be seen; he was actually Han.

His expression was cold, and he snorted, "Remove all the negative news regarding Sarah."

"Yes!"

He stopped the servant from going away and said, "And don't ever let her find out about my true identity."

"Yes, sir!"

The competition was divided into three stages, which were the preliminary round, the semi-finals, and the final. It will be conducted over the course of five days.

On the second day of the preliminary competition, the HJ Corporation live broadcast the competition as it was highly focused by the public.

"What the f*ck? Who is Sarah White? Why did all the bad news and comments related to her disappear overnight?"

"It must be Mr. Ford. My friend from Pasteria told me that she's his wife. I'm so shocked! Why is she doing this when she has a background like this?"

Before the competition started, Leah noticed the comments from the public.

She knew that Shawn was in Qustraebar too. Does he really have the ability to remove all of these in

one night?

This is not our country... He has to infiltrate various organizations in Questraebar in order to do so.

"Ms. White, what is your real relationship with Mr. Hendrik?" Sinclair suddenly spoke and startled her.

"Mr. Kaur, I really don't know him. Why are you talking about him again?"

Sinclair told her that this man suddenly appeared and became well-known in two years' time. He was famous for being ruthless and cold-blooded in the business world.

But he was a mysterious man; no one knew what he looked like.

Sinclair cast an indescribable look at him and said, "He was the one who dealt with all the negative news and comments about you."

Leah was taken aback, and she exclaimed, "It's him again?"

If it was in Pasteria, she would suspect that Han was behind it. But it was in Qustraebar now; it was so strange.

"The preliminary round is about to start in five minutes; all contestants, please get ready!"

Leah returned to her desk, and she sat straight and began to sort out the tools and materials needed for the drawing.

All the rounds of competition required the candidates to draw on the spot; the time given was three

hours.

Susan was from the Victor family, so she also knew that Hendrik was giving special treatment to Leah.

She frowned and looked at Leah, who was sitting not far in front of her. She was puzzled.

If she knows someone as powerful as Hendrik, why will she still want to cooperate with the HJ Corporation?

She can just talk to Mr. Hendrik, and everyone will literally rush to work with her.

"The competition starts now!"

"it's time… Let's see how bad Sarah will perform."

"Sarah is actually Cindy... She might actually have the ability to fight against Ms. Victor."

"Ms. Victor's honor is at stake! She must win! If not, Sarah will be the chief designer of HJ Corporation!"

Three hours passed, and the competition ended.

Leah and Susan were both the winners.

This result was beyond Susan's expectation; she was shocked upon seeing Leah's design draft.

No one had caught up to her in the past; she was always focusing on the HJ Corporation alone; if not, she should be the top designer in the world by now.

"Not bad; I didn't expect you to have such talent." Susan walked up the ladder and patted her shoulder.

Her friendly behavior won the public's hearts.

"Ms. Victor is so lovely! She's a descendant of a century-old noble family, but she actually greeted someone like her!"

Shawn, who was in Qustraebar, eventually got to know about Hendrik; he was pondering hard.

After a while, he instructed his assistant by saying, "Try to contact Hendrik; tell him that I want to work with him…"
