Although Cherish Turner’s skills had not undergone professional training, her talent was extremely high. The experts present carefully observed the competition between the two, and it was hard to say who was better.

Since it was imitating, understanding and grasping the original painting was particularly important. Although Cherish was imitating her own painting, she added some new ideas, making the entire character come to life.

Soudou Nami couldn’t believe it. She had originally bet on the fact that there were no two identical leaves in the world, so she was confident in her skills. However, seeing the reaction of the experts, she began to panic and wondered how Cherish managed to paint like that.

At first, Cherish was disturbed by the surrounding people and felt a bit unstable. But gradually, she closed her eyes and pretended they didn’t exist, slowly finding her rhythm again.

The first round of the competition was neither fast nor slow, ending two hours later. The works were displayed on the spot and scored immediately.

William Griffith felt distressed when he saw how exhausted Cherish was as she handed in her painting.

Thankfully, the first round was already over.

And without a doubt, Cherish won the first round.

When the scores were announced, Cherish was so excited that she wanted to cry, but she managed to control her emotions. She searched the room for William with her eyes, only feeling slightly relieved when she saw him smile at her.

Tanigawa Kenichi gave her an ok sign, and Cherish smiled back at him.

But her smile for Tanigawa was different from the one she gave William. It was impossible for Tanigawa not to have thoughts about it. He always felt that compared to William, he was just a little too late in Cherish’s life. If he had met her earlier, maybe the situation would be different now.

With the victory in the first round, everyone present had an idea of who would win or lose in the second round.

Soudou had originally claimed that her book would be published first, but since she failed to replicate her own work, it was clear what the situation was.

Knowing she was in the wrong, Soudou could only focus on her creation during the second round, ignoring the commentators.

Upon seeing the subject for the second round, Cherish looked at Tanigawa Kenichi sitting on the side.

She thought that she would dedicate this round’s creation to Mr. Tanigawa, as a thank you for standing by her and helping her.

“See that? Cherish is looking at me!” Tanigawa nudged William next to him, trying to get his attention. William glanced at him with contempt.

Although ‘contempt’ might not be the right word, ‘jealous’ would be more appropriate. However, he couldn’t lose his temper in such a situation.

Even so, William couldn’t help but mock Tanigawa Kenichi.

“She’s probably just looking at you because she wants to draw you, so what’s there to be proud of?”

“Oh, really? Well, she didn’t use you as a model either, showing that your presence in her heart is still quite weak!”

“It’s nothing more than sour grapes! Cherish belongs to me entirely, so not being her ‘model’ doesn’t matter as I have the real deal.”

After all, he genuinely possessed Cherish Turner.

Tanigawa was so angry that he stomped his foot, but amidst their playful banter, Cherish had already completed her work for the second round, while Soudou Nami’s piece was still not fully colored. Whether in speed, creativity, or technique, Cherish significantly outperformed Soudou Nami in this competition. When she held up her finished piece for everyone present to see, the entire room erupted in excitement!
