Chapter 578 The Implicated Partner
"Then ignore Phoebe." Stanley said.
Violet shrugged her shoulders, "That's all that can be done."
Now that she didn't know where Ivy was, there was no way for her to answer Phoebe.
So she could only pretend to know nothing.
In the evening, notification came from the organizers that Julian had been kicked out of the competition and had received a three-year ban.
That means Julian can't enter any design competitions for those three years.
But really, Julian's current situation isn't much different from being banned - after all, it's the one who does these nasty things at international competition and gets banned by the General Association.
The General Association is not a sub-association, the General Association represents the authority. As long as the designer who is punished by the order of the General Association, the file resume will leave a stain, at the time when others in the General Association found that she has a deficiency of virtue, they will not use her.
In particular, some major clothing companies and some fashion magazines will not accpet such designers.
Such resistance, without dissent, is blocked.
So Julian, even if her ban is lifted after three years, those competitions will stop her in her tracks and won't let her participate, and even if she's talented, she'll have to stay at the bottom for the rest of her life, being a small designer or seamstress, or working for someone designing, just like Miya.
So as a designer, you must not do the wrong thing or you can't afford the consequences.
"Julian is really harming herself now, she has ended up in this situation herself and dragged her partner Abby into it. Abby also has no way to participate in the subsequent competition, she has to stop here, Abby is pissed off. She called me just now and said she would find time to beat Julian." Aimee said as she came over with a plate of fruits and sat down beside Violet.
Violet was checking the fabric for the making of the gown and sighed when she heard this, "It can't be helped, it's a partner after all. The costume designer is gone, so we can't let a jewelry designer do the costume design as well."
"That's why Abby is so angry, obviously she didn't do anything wrong and she was dragged into this by Julian. Abby was aiming for the top three and now she's stuck at the fourth mark and she's eliminated in such a way, she could not endure it." Aimee said as she ate a piece of watermelon and shook her head.
Violet put down the fabric sheets and prepared to pick those up and put them on a shelf to the side.
Seeing this, Aimee hurriedly put down her fork and squeezed her aside, "I'll do it, I'll do it, it's inconvenient for you with a big belly, and a fabric is heavy, you sit down and rest well."
"Thank you then." Violet held her back and sat down again, smiling gratefully.
Aimee waved her hand, "It doesn't matter."
With that, she picked up the fabric and went to the shelf, arranging it as she added, "Now the country behind Abby has also learned of this, and I heard that they are very angry, and some of the more radical ones have gone straight to the embassy of Julian's country to cause trouble."
"I've heard that Abby is the jewelry design talent of her country, right?" Violet suddenly asked.
Aimee put the fabric away and clapped her hands as she walked back, "Right, Abby's country is known for all kinds of diamonds and crystals, is also the origin of jewelry designers, so jewelry design is especially revered, but as Western jewelry design developed, the jewelry designers of Abby's country gradually lost their fame until Abby appeared, and Abby was even rated by the nation as a ten-year A rare genius."
"So Abby is getting a lot of hope from her country." Violet said as she rubbed her chin.
Aimee nodded, "Yeah, Abby's country wanted Abby to reignite the title of jewelry design country, so they had high hopes on Abby, and Abby wanted to get the title and bring honor to her homeland, but now everything is ruined, and Abby's nation is so shaken that I doubt it even rises to a diplomatic issue between the two countries."
"So this kind of thing really can't be done, or else you'll become a sinner for the ages." Violet pinched her brow.
"Yes." Aimee ate another piece of fruit, "Julian's country became a joke because of Julian, the nation hates Julian, now Julian is completely embarrassing. I guess she dare not return to the country, or she will be beaten."
"It's none of our business, well, I have the fabric sorted and I'll start making the dress tomorrow, so I'll go back first, my back is a bit sore." Violet rubbed the back of her somewhat sore waist. Aimee waved her hand, "Go ahead, pregnant women are just hard, I'll be working for a while, draw the cut lines of the obsidian my teacher sent me, and go to the crafting workshop tomorrow." "Well, I'll go first then." Violet braced herself and stood up, leaving the workroom.
This was the room Stanley had arranged specifically for her, Aimee and Linda, opening up several rooms on the third floor of the villa and making them into workrooms.
It was fortunate that the villa was big enough and had enough rooms, otherwise it really wouldn't have been possible for Stanley to arrange it like that.
Back in the room, Stanley was on the phone with someone. The door open, Violet came in, and he spoke to the person on the other end of the phone and then ended the call.
"Why are you back so late?" Stanley walked over and helped her to the edge of the bed to sit down.
In fact, according to her six-month pregnancy, she didn't need any help at all.
But Stanley was worried about what would happen to her and had to support her whenever she was around.
This touched Violet and made her amused at the same time.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"Talked to Aimee for a while about Julian and her partner." Suddenly thinking of something, Violet sat sideways and looked at the man, "Did Julian do that? Was she encouraged by Ivan and Ivy, or was she herself?"
"It was herself, and she admitted that she was indeed approached at that time, but she didn't agree because she had decided, from the very beginning, to use illegal means to eradicate her opponent during the finals." Stanley replied with no trace of disgust in her eyes.
Clearly, he was extremely offended by people like Julian.
Violet sighed, "Then it seems that she really has a bad character."
If Julian had been encouraged to do so, it could be argued that Julian was not that bad.
But Julian's decision to eradicate her opponent by unorthodox means from the start would really only mean that Julian was wistful by nature.
"I don't know if other designers who have been encouraged to do so, or those who have darkness in their hearts themselves will still come out after this incident with Julian." Violet rubbed her belly and said with some fret.
Stanley poured a cup of water for her, "Don't think about that, after this incident, some of those with less guts might stop there, but some of those who are obsessed won't disabuse themselves of the idea even after seeing what happened to others."
What should be done will still be done, it's just a matter of how much or how little.
After all, sometimes, what's a miserable downfall that you can't yet see for the desire to win?
Violet also understood this, and there was nothing she could do but sigh and be more careful.
So next, after Violet made the Star Gown, she made another gown out of other fabrics, and then carefully put the Star Gown into the safe by hand, and put the newly made one, into the bag that said to be Star Gown, specifically to confuse those who had ulterior motives.¶¶¶¶¶¶
