Bianca was very confident and determined to win..Â
The preliminary round had a theme.Â
They had to create based on the given theme.Â
*22%4Â
Bianca created according to the theme, and fortunately, it had some similarities with the work in Emily’sÂ
notebook.Â
Originally, she planned to use it directly, but to fit the theme better, she made some modifications to that painting and added some of her own ideas.Â
This might be the most focused she’d ever been in all her design attempts.Â
So throughout the whole process, she was completely absorbed in designing, with no mind for the other contestants, and certainly didn’t notice Emily’s presence.Â
Until she submitted her work.Â
While waiting for the results.Â
Someone approached Bianca to chat.Â
This was someone from a small family in the circle who had heard of Bianca’s reputation long ago. Recently busy with this competition, she hadn’t been online much, so she only knew abo reputation from before.Â
She didn’t know that recent events had been shattering Bianca’s good image bit by bit.Â
nca’s goodÂ
“Bianca, I never thought we’d be competing together in this competition. Being able to compete alongside you makes me so happy. You don’t know, I’ve always seen you as my goal, you’re my idol!”Â
The person was a cute–looking girl with a baby face and sweet dimples when she smiled – Claire Murphy, daughter of the Murphy family.Â
Her eyes curved with joy, and she didn’t hold back her praise at all.Â
And she spoke very sincerely.Â

She smiled gently and modestly, “Thank you for liking me. Being able to participate in this competition shows you’re excellent too. You don’t need to envy me; let’s improve together.”Â
Claire was so happy to talk to Bianca up close that her head felt dizzy.Â
Now that Bianca was being so approachable and modest, it made Claire admire Bianca even more.Â
She became even more enthusiastic, even taking the initiative to ask, “You must be confident about this competition, right, Bianca? I just found it a bit difficult. When that theme came out, my mind actually went a bit blank. Can you tell me what you thought when you saw the theme? Do you always haveÂ
inspiration?”Â
Claire was genuinely asking for advice.Â
A truly gentle and modest person wouldn’t bear to refuse such sincerity.Â
But this person was Bianca.Â
Her gentleness was fake!Â
Her modesty was fake!Â
Even her design ability was fake.Â
The more Claire asked, the less Bianca could answer.Â
Bianca even thought irritably to herself.Â
‘Are you an idiot? You don’t even know these things. Why are you even competing?Â
She didn’t think about how her own real ability might not even match up to Claire’s. If she called Claire an idiot, then what did that make her, who was even worse?Â
“What’s wrong? Am I asking too much? I just saw how approachable you are, Bianca, and couldn’t help but ask the questions in my heart.”Â
When Claire said this, she didn’t think much of it. She had a simple nature and just said whatever came to mind.Â

But Bianca was sensitive.Â
What was this?Â

Did this mean that if she didn’t answer, she wouldn’t be approachable in Claire’s eyes?Â
Bianca’s dislike for Claire grew even stronger. She forcefully suppressed her distaste and gave a perfunctory response, “Stop praising me like that, I’m not that great. When I saw the theme – autumn, suburbs, freedom – I immediately had a picture in my mind, then I imagined myself as the female lead in that scene, combined with the colors of the plants in the environment…”Â
“Sorry, look at me going on and on. I’m just saying whatever comes to mind, I’m afraid I might teach you wrong. By the way, how do you know me? Who are you?Â
The only reason she held back her temper was in case the other person was a daughter from a major family studying abroad who hadn’t made public appearances. To avoid accidentally offending someone, she asked.Â
