Chapter 1547 

The fact that Aurora had completely outshone Yvonne was impressive enough on its own. 

At that moment, Yvonne finally fell silent. She couldn’t think of a single argument to throw back. 

But Aurora wasn’t about to let her off that easily. After all, Yvonne had been the one who came at her first, sharp and condescending. 

With that thought, Aurora picked up her design sheet and looked straight at her. 

“Miss Song, this is my concept. Do you have any thoughts you’d like to share?” 

Yvonne froze, unsure how to respond. Embarrassment flickered across her face before she finally gave a small shake of her head. “No, Miss Walton’s concept is… very well done.” 

Aurora smiled faintly. 

“Didn’t Miss Song also have her own design concept earlier? You’re welcome to sketch it out for everyone to see. We can all learn from it.” 1 

The meaning behind her words couldn’t have been clearer, and Yvonne caught it immediately. 

What did Aurora mean by that? She clearly wasn’t planning to let her walk away unscathed.

But before Aurora could respond, Megan stepped forward, her voice sharp with indignation. “Professor Song, what’s that supposed to mean?” 

“When you were putting Aurora on the spot earlier, you didn’t seem to have a problem speaking up. But now that it’s your turn to show your ideas, suddenly you’ve gone quiet?” 

Her words hit home. Until that moment, most people hadn’t realized what was really happening. 

But now it was obvious. 

Yvonne had been targeting Aurora from the start. 

It was a textbook case of double standards. 

She could criticize others freely, but the moment someone challenged her, she acted like the victim. 

Yvonne’s face turned stiff with embarrassment, and for once, she had no idea how to respond. 

Yvonne tried to save face. “I’m a mentor here. If I start competing with the contestants over my own designs, what kind of example would that set? Do you still want this show to continue?” 

Her words hung awkwardly in the air. She hadn’t 

ed Megan to be so bold, openly challenging her authority. 

Back in her family’s social circle, Megan had always been timid, careful with every word. Even at family banquets,

she’d barely drawn any attention. Yvonne only remembered her because she used to call Lucas her cousin. 

Beyond that, Megan had never stood out. 

At least, not enough for Yvonne to take her seriously. 

“You make it sound so noble,” Megan shot back with a cold laugh. “If you really are the mentor here, shouldn’t you at least earn the contestants’ respect? 

“You’re supposed to be our judge. Your skills should speak for themselves, shouldn’t they?” 

Her retort left Yvonne momentarily speechless, the color rising in her face. 

Yvonne stepped closer, lowering her voice. “Do you really have to stand against me?” 

Megan hadn’t planned to say more, but when she looked up and met Yvonne’s sharp, intimidating stare, her confidence faltered. She shrank back slightly, her throat tightening, unsure what to say next.
