Chapter 53: Chapter 53
Jonathan Redgrave sat on the sofa, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
"Think carefully, why can Sylvia Shaw cause such a stir in Kaelor? Isn’t it because she relies on the powerful Shaw Family? But if we can connect with Ethan Sterling, why should we fear that little Shaw Family?"
What if you can’t shake the opponent’s power? Then become stronger than your opponent’s power.
"I understand this, but on my birthday, so many family heirs were there, who spoke up for me?" No one dares to offend the Shaw Family.
Even Leo Lynch, Mia Redgrave cried and fussed in front of him, but he also said he had no way.
"But what if it’s Ethan Sterling? If you marry into the Sterling Family, who would dare not support you?"
Lena Lynch stood aside, her eyes practically bulging out.
The father and daughter, who knows how capable they think they are, aiming higher than the sky itself; do they think Ethan Sterling can be won over just like that?
"Daddy, stop keeping us in suspense, tell us your idea." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel_fіre.net
Mia Redgrave became excited.
"Although you’re quite famous online, you mean nothing in Ethan Sterling’s eyes. What kind of women hasn’t he seen? Heiresses from all major families, even foreign princesses. Trying to meet him through donation channels is impossible."
"Then what should I do?" Mia Redgrave asked anxiously.
"The Star Burning Cup organizers just informed me that Ethan Sterling will attend this competition. He usually disdains watching non-financial competitions, but he’s attending this Star Burning Cup, indicating his interest in art."
Jonathan Redgrave’s face showed ambition: "If you can be noticed by Ethan Sterling at this event and create opportunities to interact more, he’ll be smitten with you in no time."
Mia Redgrave was a bit puzzled: "Daddy, you know I can only draw dress designs."
There’s no large art competition for drawing dresses.
"No worries, since I mentioned it, I’ve already got a solution."
Jonathan Redgrave clapped his hands, and several bodyguards brought in a painting already framed. On the paper was a rose blooming in the sunset, with skilled brushwork, the entire image exuding a strong sense of decay.
It was impossible for one to take their eyes off it.
Mia Redgrave moved to the painting, a bit fascinated, reaching out to touch it. Although she knew nothing about art, she could see how beautiful the painting was: "It’s truly beautiful."
"This is painted by the previous Star Burning Cup gold award winner. I had him change his style and submitted it under your name."
Jonathan Redgrave’s eyes were full of ambition. He stood up and walked to the painting: "I’ve already had someone check in advance; ’Rose under the setting sun’ winning the gold award is a certainty. No other painting can match it. Once you’re in the finals, you can make your mark in front of Ethan Sterling."
Hearing this, Mia Redgrave grinned widely with delight: "This is truly a good plan. Not only can I make a mark in front of Ethan Sterling, but I can also use this award to regain our lost reputation. The embarrassing incidents in Kaelor won’t be mentioned again."
Jonathan Redgrave smiled smugly: "How about it, isn’t it a good plan?"
Mia Redgrave joyfully gave Jonathan Redgrave a hug, her face full of excitement: "Daddy, I will cherish this opportunity. Once I marry Ethan Sterling, your political path will be even smoother!"
Jonathan Redgrave couldn’t help feeling smug at this remark, returning the hug.
Due to physical reasons, having his own child was a rare blessing for him, so after Mia Redgrave was born, he wanted to give her the best things in the world, even believing in superstitions, reaching out to Seraphina Redgrave to find a path for Mia.
Mia Redgrave’s fate was tightly bound to Jonathan Redgrave, so he had every reason, both public and private, to ensure Mia married Ethan Sterling.
In Hibiscus Garden, Nanny Lynch and Granny Coleman couldn’t contain their excitement upon hearing that Ethan Sterling was taking Seraphina Redgrave to the Star Burning Cup.
"Miss, do you dress? It’s fresh and beautiful." Nanny Lynch held up a haute couture in front of Seraphina Redgrave.
Seraphina Redgrave’s eyes were vacant, sitting blankly on the sofa, not speaking.
"Oh my, how does plain white look good? Our young lady is so beautiful, wearing something vibrant is better." She raised the dress in her hand: "Miss, this one looks good, wear this one."
After a while, the two sighed again, sitting beside Seraphina Redgrave: "Miss, you can’t show this expression when attending the competition, or you’ll be laughed at."
"Yeah, what if Young Master Sterling doesn’t like you because of it, then what?"
Nanny Lynch squeezed her hand: "Miss, come, look at me, smile . Miss, when you have an expression, you look lively, not like a fool."
They were really attentive to her.
After she saved two people in front of Ethan Sterling, they almost treated Seraphina Redgrave as their own daughter, nagging at her non-stop, she was almost annoyed.
Seraphina Redgrave smiled, but her eyes still lacked any luster, looking more like a fool.
Nanny Lynch and Granny Coleman sighed again.
The two of them nagged for quite a while longer before finally leaving to do their work, and only then did Seraphina Redgrave relax.
She went upstairs, to the room where Ethan Sterling worked, opened the computer, and started contacting Hector Shaw.
Hector Shaw’s spirit lifted when he saw Seraphina Redgrave calling: "Seraphina Redgrave, you’re finally in touch. I thought you were dead, I haven’t slept well for days."
Seraphina Redgrave was speechless. Hector Shaw in front of her didn’t seem like the rumored decisive leader of the Shaw Family, more like the rich young master who was scared silly when he first entered the forbidden area.
Seraphina Redgrave sat at the desk and began to speak: "Ethan Sterling refuses to leave these days, so I couldn’t contact you. By the way, is there any news about the Redgrave family?"
Hector Shaw wore a serious expression: "I heard Jonathan Redgrave found last year’s Star Burning Cup gold award winner and spent big money to have him paint a piece called ’Rose under the setting sun’, then submitted it under Mia Redgrave’s name for this year’s Star Burning Cup. They probably want to use this competition to restore Mia’s reputation."
Upon hearing this, Seraphina Redgrave paused for a moment and then laughed: "This time the Redgrave family really delivered themselves to our doorstep."
Hector Shaw realized something and opened his mouth in surprise: "Don’t tell me you’re also participating in the Star Burning Cup?"
Her painting had long been uploaded to the official website, attracting many online users with her style, rivaling the fame of ’Rose under the setting sun.’
"Then you have no chance. I saw ’Fiery Sunflower,’ it’s truly of high standard." Even if Mia Redgrave’s fraud was exposed, ’Fiery Sunflower’ would still surely win the gold award.
She can’t compete with that.
"The Star Burning Cup gold award will definitely be mine."
Seraphina Redgrave’s eyes flashed with confidence.
"Oh? You seem really confident." Hector Shaw still didn’t believe it.
"Although her painting was done by the last Star Burning Cup gold award winner, how do you know my level isn’t higher than that so-called previous winner? Do you know why the Star Burning Cup exists?" Seraphina Redgrave spoke calmly, unhurried.
