Chapter 653
Designer An Has Disappeared
When Evan York heard Olivia Lawson's words, his eyes darkened.
Maybe the design hadn't been done by his own ability after all, and now Olivia Lawson's praise made him feel a little guilty, as if she were taking a veiled jab at him for not knowing how to design. But then he thought about how he had already cleaned everything up, so there shouldn't be any problems, and only then did he relax slightly.
Ava Bennett had originally been a little worried that the finished product wouldn't live up to the design drawing, but she hadn't expected it to be recreated so perfectly.
Even after seeing so many designs, she had never seen a design sketch that stunned her at first glance like this one. She hadn't expected this newly hired designer to be so impressive. This time, she was definitely going to crush Maison Verne!
She announced loudly, "Olivia Lawson, start building hype immediately. I want this new release promoted properly. We need to make sure our Maison Verne can truly break out this time."
"Yes, Manager Song." Olivia Lawson agreed at once.
At this moment, Ava Bennett looked at Evan York again and asked, "By the way, Designer Yuan, what's the name of this necklace? And what's your design concept? I'll use this opportunity to promote it properly."
Evan York's design drawing had come from his girlfriend, who was Asher Bell's ex-girlfriend. How could he possibly know what the design concept behind it was? He had only taken it out because he thought the design was incredibly stunning.
Now that Ava Bennett was asking him about it, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
In a panic, Evan York said, "Uh... it's called Starry Sky! This time my design is centered around the vast starry sky as the theme. This necklace is a planet and countless orbiting planets..."
He casually made up an excuse and rattled off a whole stream of nonsense with glib eloquence.
Although Ava Bennett was the person in charge of Bennett Jewelry, she didn't actually understand design all that well. Now that Evan York was speaking with such certainty and so fluently, looking extremely convincing, she believed his words.
"Good! Olivia Lawson, use Starry Sky as the theme to promote this necklace. This time, absolutely nothing can go wrong, understand?"
"I understand."
...
Ava Bennett's new product, Starry Sky, was released very quickly.
This time Ava Bennett was extremely confident, and she threw everything into the promotion. The publicity was also very strong. Not only did she buy off major magazines to sing its praises, she also had marketing accounts flooding the internet with stealth ads. Quite a lot of people learned about the warm-up for Ava Bennett's new release.
The wealthy wives in those socialite circles had never been the sort to lack money. The moment they saw Ava Bennett's Starry Sky, they were instantly captivated.
They all pulled strings to try to place advance orders with Ava Bennett. In an instant, Ava Bennett became the hottest commodity in the circle, and she couldn't have been more pleased with herself because of it.
She felt that she would be able to make a comeback very soon and stomp Claire Bennett underfoot.
However, she didn't let those rich wives place advance orders. Instead, she said the price would be announced when the new product was officially released.
Because of the mysterious price and the exquisite design, what many people had been talking about lately was this necklace from Bennett Jewelry. Everyone was guessing how much it would sell for.
And Maison Verne, which had always been brought out for comparison with Bennett Jewelry, was mentioned over and over by many people. With the haters Ava Bennett had arranged, it was dragged down to rock bottom.
"Bennett Group really is worthy of being an old established jewelry brand. Their designs naturally keep coming one after another. Maison Verne is just a nouveau riche upstart, right? After one or two stunning moments, now they don't have any better designs."
"Yeah, I think Maison Verne might as well send its designers to study Bennett Group's designs."
"But come to think of it, did Bennett Group hire a new designer? I think these last two jewelry designs are different from what they did before."
"So does that mean Bennett Group is going to brutally suppress Maison Verne from now on?"
Amid all the discussion, Bennett Group's designer Evan York was gradually dug up by the public as well.
A lot of people learned his background, but seeing that he had only graduated from an ordinary design school and hadn't had many design works before, the fact that he had produced such outstanding designs in these last two rounds was still very surprising.
Claire Bennett naturally didn't take any of this noisy commotion about design to heart at all.
She was currently busy putting Asher Bell's design into production as well, when, while Claire Bennett was still occupied, Molly Lee suddenly ran in anxiously and said to Claire Bennett, "Boss, this is bad! Designer An is gone!"
Claire Bennett's brows knitted tightly. "What did you say?"
Asher Bell was currently Maison Verne's lead designer. Even Sienna Shaw was helping him complete this design. Now that the main designer was gone, Claire Bennett was very worried, afraid that something might have happened to him.
Thinking of Bennett Group's design release this time, Claire Bennett suspected it was connected to that.
She looked at Molly Lee and asked nervously, "What exactly happened? Tell me carefully."
