89 Chapter 89 : Played by Serena Jennings " What is that ? A scarf ? " Nancy Young tilted her head . " Looks like it , but it's not quite ... there's no fabric , seems all metal . " Sharon analyzed while watching Serena's design on stage . At this moment , Quentin Xavier fully understood- He had been played by Serena . Serena's competition piece was nothing like the robot earrings designed to pair with headphones . These past days , her constant revisions in front of him were all an act . Quentin tightly clenched his fists , seething with anger . Even if Serena had turned the tables on him , Quentin didn't believe Claire Shaw would lose . Considering the previous hits launched by The Lockwood Group , Claire had that capability . Though his anxious heart gradually calmed , Quentin still felt annoyed. He thought Serena wasn't particularly skilled but rather scheming . Fixing a hard stare on Serena , he wanted to see what she would ultimately design . Among the ten designers present , except for Serena , all were conforming robot forms to fit the AI theme . Some designed robot pendants , some robot rings , others robot watches , and some simply added robotic elements to conventional jewelry styles . Only Serena's semi - finished work left people puzzled . It indeed looked like a scarf . The silvery white noble metal shimmered elegantly under the lights , crafted with multiple techniques like brushing , weaving , and hollowing to create a lace texture , delicate and luxurious, with complex patterns , densely inlaid with countless small diamonds and sapphires , the gems absurdly small but densely set , dazzling and eye - blinding . As far as jewelry is concerned , Serena's scarf stood out the most . Quentin Xavier watched Serena closely using a microscope on stage , the more he watched , the more his brow furrowed . " I never knew our boss had such skill ? " Sharon elbowed Nancy Young . " Am I seeing things ? How is she setting the stones ? There's no metal prong ." Nancy Young was equally shocked . In the front row, sitting in the VIP seats , Leo Grant and Ronan Ross each had their thoughts . " This Serena Jennings ... Leo spoke first , his gaze unwavering on Serena . Ronan Ross felt something was off , his expression shifting repeatedly . The live demonstration of jewelry making was actually quite tedious for outsiders ; Patrick Rhodes , restless after two hours , was about to 15 18 89 Chapter 89 : Played by Serena Jennings leave . But to see Serena , he endured to the four - hour mark without a single nap . As the competition approached its finale , Patrick Rhodes couldn't hold it any longer . He wanted to use the restroom . In the distant CBD , inside The Nash Group Tower , Justin Nash was secretly watching the live broadcast on his phone- He had been watching for a whole four hours . " Justin , are you busy ? " The office door suddenly opened , and Justin quickly turned his phone screen down on the desk . Though he acted swiftly , Cynthia Fulton saw it . Cynthia moved beside Justin nonchalantly , massaging his shoulders . " If work is too busy , we could postpone visiting the bridal shop . " " No , we fixed today , so let's stick to that ! " Justin said , but his face showed no trace of the joy of accompanying his bride to try on wedding dresses . " Alright , since you insist , I'll go with you . " Cynthia smiled sweetly , " Oh , by the way , Director Zhao seemed to be looking for you just now . " " Probably about the West Coast project ... " " Should I step out ? " " No , I'll go find him ! " Justin stood up , leaving his office . Leaving Cynthia alone in the room ... And Justin's phone . Cynthia flipped over the phone lying screen down on the desk , and it was still lit , the live stream ongoing . " What is this , a jewelry design competition ? " Cynthia tugged the corner of her mouth , puzzled . " Why is Justin interested in this kind of thing ? " Could it be he was picking jewelry for her to wear at their wedding ? Thinking of this , Cynthia smiled knowingly . She was about to turn the phone screen down again when the live broadcast camera suddenly focused on a person . She recognized this person . 15.18 1/4 < 89 Chapter 89 : Played by Serena Jennings Watching Serena Jennings engrossed in jewelry creation on screen , Cynthia's smile gradually faded . The Blue Ocean International Convention Hall . The New Star Jewelry Design Competition officially entered the evaluation and scoring phase . Though things hadn't unfolded as Claire Shaw had schemed , she'd do her utmost to perform under the circumstances . " The earrings I designed use PT950 platinum and perfectly cut South African diamonds , crafted with 3D printing and high - polish techniques , creating a cat's eye effect , integrating modern headphone functions while embodying futuristic and tech vibes , matching the Al theme , striking a balance between aesthetics and practicality . " After Claire Shaw finished answering , the judges awarded her a high score of 90 . It was the first and only score above 90 . Next , it was Serena's turn . Serena's designed scarf was truly luxurious and unparalleled . If others ' designs were jewelry pieces , Serena's was a top - tier collectible . However ... " Contestant number one , please explain how your design piece relates to the Al theme ?
