Chapter 34 Signing Up Ceremony
Warren read her mind through the look in her eyes. He stood straight and cast the magazine aside.
“Why did you throw my dream man away?” Isabelle held the magazine in her arms immediately as if it was a treasure. “Since you gave the magazine to me, it’s mine now. There are works of the top–notched jewelry designer W L in it. I’ll hold it while sleeping!”
Warren was surprised. With a meaningful smile, he asked, “W L is your dream man?”
“Yes. I admire him.”
“Oh.” Isabelle was confused to see that his smile widened.
She mumbled, “WL has the sharpest and most thorough insights about jewelry! Nowadays, many jewelry companies forget why they chose the jewelry industry in the first place. For example, the Levine guy from the SJ Group. He’s an evil businessman. I hope he won’t take Tonya’s bribe. If he does it, I’ll curse him and wish his manhood would be 10cm shorter!”
The sluggish smile on his face turned into frightening gloom.
But Isabelle was oblivious to it. “Humph. I’ll pray that he’ll have no wife or children.”
A candy was suddenly put into her mouth. She finally shut up.
***
Soon, it was October 1. The signing–up ceremony for the Jewelry
15:32
Designers from various jewelry companies came to sign up in the office building of Supreme Jewelry, the SJ Building
Glenda arrived early with Isabelle. Seeing Tonya’s car parked outside, she sneered, “Tonya came early! She became notorious at the charity banquet. The Spencer family must’ve been busy improving her image. George must be mad with her and her mom.”
Isabelle pressed her lips and said, “Both her and Julia’s reputations were ruined. There’s gossip about them everywhere in the upper–class circle. George values his self–esteem. And Mrs. Hodge disapproves of the engagement. To please George and marry into a powerful family, she’s eager to win this contest and attract attention. And I’m her rival. Of course, she takes this contest seriously.”
Glenda remarked, “Tonya is already notorious. If you win this time, her career will be destroyed too. Then, Julia won’t be able to rely on her daughter anymore, and George will be more distant from them. In this way, the Spencer family will collapse, and the company will return to you. Your revenge is taken.”
Isabelle squinted. That was her plan.
The moment they stepped into the lobby, Tonya and Brandon came out of the elevator.
They were smiling.
Tonya was proud around Isabelle. But she concealed it in front of Brandon.
She dragged Isabelle away and sneered, “You also came to sign up for the contest? But Mr. Levine won’t waste his time on obscure designers. He accepted my painting and liked it! You’ll lose, bitch.”

Isabelle was surprised. The expression on Glenda’s face froze.
“Brandon, you spent 26 million dollars to buy the painting for me. Thank you!” Tonya said sweetly when she walked to him to show off.
Brandon glanced at Isabelle.
Isabelle clenched her fists and thought inwardly, “That hateful Levine guy…”
But she pretended to be calm and retorted, “He might spend 26 million dollars for you, but he also wants a mistress. If I were you, I’d keep an eye on him.”
Tonya was shocked.
Brandon said with an awkward expression, “Isabelle, what are you talking about?”
Isabelle ignored him. Disgusted, she left.
The signing–up ceremony was in the meeting room on the third floor. When the handsome CEO of the SJ Group appeared, all the designers present fixed their eyes on him.
The man had a gorgeous face and a tall figure, like the perfect work from heaven.
Wherever he went, he was the center of attention. But as a successful man, he had a powerful aura. It made him unapproachable.
“Oh, my! It’s Mr. Levine!” a girl screamed.
Glenda clutched at Isabelle’s clothes and exclaimed, “This man is too damn charming. It turns out his name is Warren Levine. What a beautiful name!”

Looking at him, Tonya also blushed. This tycoon could destroy any enterprise easily. He was even more capable and attractive than Brandon. She’d be better off if she married him.
Only Isabelle’s eyes dripped with hatred. Look at his name card, she mouthed, “Tacky.”
Sitting in the seat of honor, Warren suddenly scowled.
At the signing–up ceremony, the designers would introduce themselves. The judges would review their qualifications. He always kept a low profile. Isabelle had met him on various occasions before but had never seen his face. But now he appeared at such a small
event.
Isabelle was busy despising him when he asked, “Who’s Isabelle Spencer?”
Isabelle stiffened. Biting her lip, she stood up slowly and said, “It’s me.”
Raising one brow, he glanced at her and commented, “You’re rude.”
She cursed him inwardly.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Levine. I’m Isabelle Spencer.”
“Your tone is unnatural. Do you have a problem with me?”
He was too handsome. Even the sight of him sitting there made a girl blush.
Everyone now realized that he disliked this girl named Isabelle.
She clenched her fists.
Warren looked at her resume and said, “Your appearance is OK, but

I’ve never heard of you before. How’s your design?”
He was questioning her qualification.
Gritting her teeth, she laughed, “It’s good. I may be better than you.”
Everyone was shocked to hear that.
“How arrogant! She mocked Mr. Levine. She may be disqualified!” someone snickered.
Tonya almost laughed out loud.
Warren stood up and glanced at her. Seeing her angry face, he said, “That’s all! Isabelle, you stay. I need to talk to you.”
Sheldon stood behind Warren. When his boss turned around, he
smiled.
His boss was teasing his wife again.
Isabelle was surprised by Warren’s words. She felt like a pupil asked to stay after school. She was angry and uneasy. Glenda held her hand and said, “Does he want to disqualify you?”
“Is this your so–called dream man?”
Glenda didn’t know what to say.
In front of the building, Brandon was waiting in a Lamborghini. Seeing Tonya come out, he looked behind her and asked, “Where’s Isabelle?”
“Brandon, are you concerned about her?” Tonya put on a sad face, but malice appeared in her eyes. She felt that he began to care about

Isabelle again after the charity banquet.
Brandon looked awkward. He hugged her and said, “It means nothing.”
Tonya pretended to be worried. “Mr. Levine criticized her in front of everyone just now. But she still had a hostile tone. Alas, Mr. Levine asked her to stay. I’m afraid she’ll be disqualified.”
Before, every time she said something like this, Brandon would insult Isabelle, but he didn’t this time.
Tonya’s eyes were full of gloom. She felt Brandon had changed. She must win this contest to impress him.
***
Glenda and Isabelle were taken to Warren’s office. Looking around the magnificent office with casement windows on three sides, they fell silent.
Glenda said, “I must say that Mr. Levine’s office is ten times as big as your office at Luck Jewelry. It’s majestic.”
Isabelle knocked over the dustbin.
“Bella!” Glenda was startled. Seeing that Isabelle was gonna knock over the desk too, she held her hand. “Do you want to go to jail?”
Isabelle finally regained her senses. With a long face, she sat down in a chair and said disdainfully, “What’s so great about this office? He’s only showing off. This chair is too hard. I bet it isn’t even worth 1.3 thousand dollars. It hurts my butt.”
“Is your butt made of gold? Bella, it’s progress to acknowledge other people’s success.”

“Are you his wife? Mrs. Levine, don’t you want our friendship anymore?”
Glenda sat down quietly. She searched on her laptop and said, “There’s no one named Warren in the Levine family. Mr. Levine is like the king
of the jewelry industry. Does he really from the Levine family?”
