Roger looked at Jayden with surprise and fury. Jayden's request for two sets of every piece of jewelry was a clear provocation, given Roger's current lack of wealth.

"Of course, kid, why not?" George said jovially, "Well, let's take care of those details later. For now, I need to go support my son; he's a bundle of nerves."

[Tell Elliot I'll be watching and supporting him from my seat.] Deborah said.

"Certainly, dear. I know that will motivate him a lot," George said before turning to head to the stage.

"Let's replace our seats," Jayden said, taking his partner's hand.

[Sure] Deborah smiled, and together they walked to their seats, which were in the front row.

Roger and Sophia did the same, and once they were alone, she took the opportunity to chat for a moment.

"Roger, darling, you're going to give me all the jewelry being exhibited, right?"

"If you remember, we're on bad terms, and I only accepted your company because you have something I can use against Jayden. So don't get any wrong ideas," he said without looking at her. haven't forgotten, but you could give me some jewelry as a thank you, don't you think?"

"With what money?" "Huh?"

"If you remember, because of you my father disowned me, and now I'm just an employee in the company tch... if I had known this would happen, I swear I wouldn't have asked you to pretend to be my wife and start dating you," he said angrily, letting go of Sophia's hand and walking away.

"Idiot." she thought, frowning and crossing her arms. "Now you regret what we had? Ugh.... it's all that Idiot's fault... What makes her so special?"

Despite her anger, she tried to calm down. She'd get her revenge later, but for now, she needed to focus on the real reason she was at the party: annoying Deborah and that bothersome kid.

Everyone took their seats, and after a few minutes, the lights dimmed, illuminating the stage where brown-haired teenager appeared. He wore a slightly formal yet casual outfit-a tailored tuxedo but with a white cotton t-shirt instead of a shirt.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. First of all, thank you very much for attending this great event... which is MY first major event," Elliot said, glancing discreetly at his brother. "I hope you enjoy the show as much as I enjoyed and had fun creating each of these pieces," he declared confidently, Immediately, the lights highlighted a guest artist at the far right of the stage.

As soon as the artist and his band began to play, the models started to walk the runway.

All the guests were amazed by every detail of the show, from the models' arrangements to highlight the jewelry they wore, to the images projected on the wall to showcase each piece up close, and the live music by the most popular artist of the moment. The show had the audience talking and murmuring excitedly.

"That artist is hard to book."

"Oh God... I'm going to ask my husband to buy me one of these pieces."

"Definitely, the kid has talent."

"I would say he's better than the boring and somewhat common pieces his brother made."

Roger was grinding his teeth with anger. His younger brother's innate talent for designing jewelry was something he had always envied, and this presentation confirmed that he had permanently lost hist position as CEO.

Sophia was amazed. It was clear that the three collections differed in the quality of the materials and precious stones, but the design of each plece made you want to buy them... which was something that didn't happen with Roger's collections.
