Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1642

Gloria was successfully provoked. "Since you want to lose, I'll fulfill your wish."

Soon, with the staff's assistance, another embroidery frame was set up opposite Gloria. Helen confidently walked up and sat down in front of the embroidery frame.

The host then announced the competition rules. "The first one to complete the work in half an hour will receive an extra two points. Then, the four featured guests will grade your works.

"The maximum score is ten points, and the one with the highest total scores from two rounds will win. Are you both ready? Okay, the competition officially starts now."

With that signal, Gloria and Helen immediately began their creation.

Since her opponent only had two years of embroidery experience, Gloria used the simplest embroidery technique and completed her work in just 15 minutes.

She got up, bowed to the audience, and turned the embroidery frame around to showcase her work—lilies.

A guest judge, who was knowledgeable about embroidery, appraised it first. "This piece is created with the colorful hair embroidery technique.

"This technique uses natural-colored hair strands from different ethnicities as materials and utilizes over a dozen stitching techniques to achieve the artistic realm of smoothness, fineness, and lightness. The materials used are unique, and the craftsmanship is superb."

He paused for a while before changing the subject. "The colorful hair embroidery technique is the most basic embroidery technique. Given Gloria's skills, it is quite an underutilization. It seems she intends to go easy on Kaylee."

As a Cathayan, Gloria was still unwilling to embarrass her fellow countryman in public. Everyone had seen her realistic embroidery at the start and had developed a favorable impression of her.

At this moment, Helen had also finished her work and silently stood beside the embroidery frame, waiting for the judges' appraisals.

Both works were highly praised, and the host was unable to decide which was better. "So, who do you think should win?"

"Judging by the works, both are equally matched," said a featured guest.

"Well… so it's a tie?" The host didn't dare to offend either side.

"I lost," Gloria said in a low voice.

Under everyone's gaze, Gloria walked over to Helen and admitted defeat. "Although I underestimated you, you only took two years to achieve the skills that took me over 20 years to learn. It is evident that you're more talented."

"So now, do you still think that embroidery belongs to Sapan?"
