I Became His Sweetheart by Bright Eyes

Chapter 415 Collaboration
Robert also stood up, taking the initiative to greet her. “Miss Yancey, when did you arrive? I thought you might
not come...”
After Robert agreed to be the main judge of the competition, he personally sent an invitation to Miss Yancey, hoping that she
would attend. With her presence, the attention on the competition would undoubtedly double. Robert also wanted to take
advantage of being the main judge to showcase himself in front of the
international media.
“I arrived late, so I snuck in. How could I disturb everyone?” Miss Yancey spoke self–deprecatingly, instantly
silencing the entire venue.
Melanie looked at the woman with a royal aura in the audience, her eyes full of suspicion.
Cyrus’s assistant, thinking that Melanie didn’t know who Miss Yancey was, whispered some information to
her.
“That’s Miss Yancey, the world’s top luxury jewelry designer. No one dares to claim the top spot after her. She
is an undisputed figure in the fashion industry!”
The assistant secretly gave Miss Yancey a thumbs–up.
Melanie regained her composure, and nodded. She had heard of Miss Yancey’s name, but this was the first
time she saw the latter in person.
Miss Yancey was known worldwide, yet interviews with her were scarce. All reports about her focused on how stunning her
jewelry was and the awards she had won. The accompanying images were always of her trophies and jewelry designs; she
never revealed her face, maintaining a mysterious aura even more than
Madam Morgan.

“However, Miss Yancey is still unmarried. With her outstanding talents, her taste must be impeccable. But then again, in this era,
achieving the status she has is indeed rare...”
Cyrus’s assistant sighed. “She’s a lucky one. Not only is she talented, but she also comes from a massive mining family. Most of
the rare gems unearthed are probably owned by her family, and other designers can’t
compete for them.”
“Do you know about the businesses owned by the Yanceys?” Melanie asked.
“Luxury items, gemstones, diamonds–that’s all I know. But a noble family like them has accumulated wealth for many
generations, so they probably have their hands in various industries privately.”
Melanie agreed with Cyrus’s assistant, but she planned to have Annie help her investigate more thoroughly
when she returned.
Miss Yancey stood up, walked through the judges‘ seats, and went directly to the front of Melanie’s two fragrances. She carefully
smelled them.
She brushed aside the curls on one side of her face, revealing a fair neck. Her graceful movements made

“I think Miss Jones explained it very well just now. Her choice of words was perfect. In her fragrances, I smelled the sweetness
and bitterness of love. Joy in love is sweetness, and unrequited love is bitterness. I hope all lovers in the world can find

happiness.”
Miss Yancey lifted her head and smiled.
After a few seconds of silence, the audience below responded with applause. This included the judges on the judging panel.
They finally didn’t have to vacillate between Joseph and Robert...
“If I was a judge, I’d definitely give full marks!”
Miss Yancey continued to raise the stakes, causing Robert’s face to turn red with anger.
“What’s more, what did that contestant say just now? The aim of the competition is to cater to the mass consumer group?
Perhaps you underestimate the current living standards of the general public. They have high living standards! Moreover,
whether the raw materials are expensive or not depends mainly on the
intermediate processes.”
Miss Yancey turned to look at Melanie, smiling kindly.
“I’m very interested in Miss Jones’s two fragrances, and I’m willing to invest in their production to bring them to the market. I can
guarantee that if I manufacture these and push them to the market, we will skip all intermediate steps. The final selling price may
be even more affordable than regular perfumes.”
“Miss Yancey, I’m sorry, but Miss Jones has agreed to Mr. Leo investing in these two fragrances,” the old butler sitting next to
Joseph said.
“See? Everyone wants the good things!” Miss Yancey smiled brightly. “But what I say isn’t retractable. Since Mr. York has
invested first, I’ll talk to him. Let’s make this a joint effort and make a grand debut together.”

She didn’t care about Joseph’s pride–indeed, she had a powerful background. Everyone held their breath,
shaken by her aura.
Miss Yancey looked at Melanie again. “You’re so young, but you’re already an excellent perfumer. In the future. can we consider
a collaboration? Perfumes and diamonds. How does that sound?”
“It sounds very exciting. Thank you, Miss Yancey, for your appreciation.” Melanie sincerely nodded in gratitude.
Miss Yancey smiled; she turned around and walked back to her seat, facing the awkward situation on and off
the stage with ease,
“Then...” The host hesitated and glanced at all the big shots, only continuing his speech after observing their expressions.
“Aiden? Do you still have any doubts? Do you still insist on re–scoring?”
Aiden was just a pawn, and he had no decision–making power. He turned to look at Robert for guidance.
In full view of the public, Roger didn’t want to bother with Aiden. The host, who didn’t get a response, asked
again, “Aiden, do you still insist on having the judges re–score Melanie?”
“What scoring?” Roger, fearing the host’s persistence, decided to take the blame himself. “The judges all approve of Melanie’s
perfume. Let’s not waste everyone’s time!”

“Alright, alright.”
After the host finished speaking, he wiped away the sweat on his forehead before continuing the event. Guests
and award winners went on stage one by one to receive awards and give speeches.
After the awards ceremony, as the guests left, Melanie took a few quick steps and caught up with Miss Yancey from behind.
“Miss Yancey?”

“Miss Jones.” Linda Yancey turned around, smiling gracefully at Melody. “Do you have something to discuss
with me?”
“I just wanted to express my gratitude to you in person,” Melanie said sincerely.
Linda was also friendly. “Your talent is evident. We have a joint collaboration agreed upon. I’m not just playing
around.”
“Okay.” Melanie nodded in agreement.
Linda smiled, and turned to leave.
Melanie caught up again, and asked, “Miss Yancey, have we met before?”
