Desires Die Hard

Chapter 864 Shall We Put On A Show?

Two days later, the contest began. It was the most renowned national-level contest in the design realm. Meanwhile, the search for Paula was ongoing as well.

Evan stayed low and waited for Cohen to give himself away.

At 10 a.m., representing JK Couture, Anya attended the contest with her best work.

The top designers from all over the country gather here. If she won the contest, JK Couture would make its name today.

Then, she could ask Cohen to cancel the contract.

She didn't want to rely on Cohen anymore.

Anya was determined to win.

At 10 past 10, the contest began officially.

The contest would be streamed live online as well.

In the first round, designers would show their works to the judges.

The winners could join the next round.

There would be many rounds before they get into the final one.

The last two candidates would compete in the final round.

Anya was a very talented designer and she was certain that she would easily pass the first round.

Jake thought the same.

He saw Anya's design this morning, her galaxy series of dresses were stunning and elegant.

She would be able to make it to the last round.

But, to everyone's surprise, she was out right after the first round.

Anya was shocked at the result.

Some designers started mocking her and said that JK Couture never had any good designers.

How could JK Couture consider itself the leading design company when it was kicked out at the first round.

This company was nothing but a joke.

Some other designers even said that Anya got famous because of her husband. And she didn't deserve the award she received before.

Anya was furious about those harsh criticism. She made her name through her own effort.

She wanted to question the judges. But suddenly she realized something and didn't feel shocked anymore.

Being kicked out at the first round, someone must set her up.

Because, if she failed, she would go to Cohen for help.

She thought it through and calmed down. However, Jake didn't know the story behind it and was worried.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Anya, what to do now?"

"Mr. Hanson, don't worry. We can ask Cohen for help," Anya said calmly.

"Mr. Olson?" Jake frowned and looked at her curiously.

"He is our partner now and is supposed to support us." Then, Anya took out her phone and called Evan while walking out.

Anya didn't need to call Evan, because he already knew it.

"Evan, shall I go to Cohen now?" Anya asked.

"Sure. I'll go with you and we are putting on a show."

"Are you going to pretend to leave me?" Anya smiled and was no more upset.

"We are pretending to get a divorce."

"Divorce?"

"Just do as I say, and everything will be fine." Evan wanted to solve this problem soon because Paula's life was still in danger.

Now, Evan loathed Cohen.

Because of Cohen, Evan was separated from Anya for a few days.

So, he wanted to end this.

However, Evan knew that Cohen was capable of doing anything. So, Evan chose not to irritate him.

So, Evan came up with this idea.

"OK. I'll do as you say," Anya replied.

After that, she received a message from Cohen. Anya, I watched the contest online. I can't believe that they didn't let you pass the first round. But, don't worry, I will help you.

Anya stared at the "comforting" message from Cohen and felt cold deep down. She was almost certain that Cohen was behind it.

Anya felt that she didn't know this man anymore. Cohen turned into a different person.

To get what he wanted, Cohen made her lose the contest.

The last tiny bit of hope Anya had for him, was vanished now.
