Chapter 58 Searching For Him

“So you two are sisters? No wonder you share the same surname! If that’s the case, would you be willing to stay here and witness your sister’s creation?” the host asked, surprised.

Kelly gnawed angrily at her cheek. Rose’s grip around her arm tightened, making her grit out, “Of course I

will!”

The host nodded at Rose.

“Your mask, Ms. Rose…

Rose took her mask off, revealing her pale and fragile visage. Miles couldn’t help but stand up, watching her in utter shock. No one noticed him when he did this, however.

All of a sudden, a design sketch appeared on the screen onstage. It was drenched in blood, the bright color making everyone reel away.

“What is this?”

“Why is there so much blood?”

Rose turned to look at the screen and was left shocked.

“What’s going on?” A judge asked.

Kelly immediately put on a worried act.

“How could you be so careless as to let your design get so dirtied, Rose? What if people think you’re disrespecting the competition?”

The judges instantly frowned. They’d seen the discussions online about Rose’s reputation, so their perspective of her further worsened.

Kelly was delighted by this. She couldn’t wait for the judges to outright disqualify Rose.

Suddenly, the host seemed to receive some instructions through his earpiece. He first appeared shocked, then turned to Rose with a gaze of utmost pity.

“Ms. Rose isn’t disrespecting the competition. She’s been full–heartedly devoted to it!”

The crowd turned to Rose curiously.

The host continued, “You must all be wondering why there’s so much blood soaked in this design. It’s only because it’s been part of a terrible car accident!”

“How could that have happened?” someone asked from the crowd.

“Ms. Rose was holding the design in hand when she became the unfortunate victim of a car accident recently. She held onto it even after losing consciousness and being in the ER. The blood soaking this design surely represents her devotion to this competition instead of otherwise!” the host cried into the microphone.

The audience now gazed at Rose with admiration and pity. Rose stared at the design on the screen. She’d sketched it in the car days ago. Why was it here?

The host answered her unasked question in the next instant.

“There was someone special who understood Ms. Rose’s devotion, and so he’d personally turned this design to life while Ms. Rose was resting unconscious in the hospital.”

The creation was revealed, being displayed side by side with its sketch on the screen. Only then did the audience notice that the design was actually of two rings locked together.

The bloodstain had created a perfect hoop that connected the two. At first glance, one would think they were looking at an actual necklace.

The actual creation, on the other hand, was a silver necklace studded with rubies

Two rings hung onto one end, and where the blood had stained a crystal red in the design, there was a red diamond now inlaid in the actual creation itself.

Meanwhile, the other necklace only consisted of a few demure white diamonds. The red and white diamonds reflected one another, showing off a contrast of riotous passion and calm stillness.

Ezra immediately recognized the red diamond onscreen. The Finches had uncovered a one–in–a–million red diamond in their mine overseas recently, practically priceless in value.

Yet he chose to use it here

“How curious,” Ezra murmured, eyes glinting as he stared at Rose.

Rose’s heart felt like it might leap out of her chest as she gazed at the finished creation. She never imagined such a color pairing would create such a magnificent impact!

Who was this ‘someone special‘ the host meant? All Rose could think of was the star escort husband’s face. She instantly searched for him in the crowd.
