Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence by Ken Slaner

Chapter: 202
“Looks like we better be careful and not provoke Ariana.”
Ignoring the hushed whispers of the onlookers, Ariana strode confidently toward Sarah, her bright smile illuminating the room.
“We must act fast; time is slipping away. Let’s get started with the makeup and styling.”
Sarah leaned in close to Ariana, a hint of skepticism in her voice as she spoke. “Did you reach out to Adrian once more?”
Ariana giggled, playfully pushing Sarah away. “Of course not, silly! I turned to Ivan for assistance. Steven happens to be a friend
of Ivan’s.”
As soon as the mention of Ivan’s name reached his ears, Steven understood the topic of their hushed conversation. With a
mischievous twinkle in his eyes, he chuckled and said, “To be honest, I wasn’t keen on coming here. My creations are usually
reserved for high-fashion runways, not reality TV shows. But Ariana sweet-talked me into it by promising that my designs would
be displayed at the triumphant awards ceremony.”
Sarah felt a tinge of nervousness and turned to Ariana, asking quietly, “What if I don’t win the competition?”
“I have faith in you, Sarah. Just give it your all and try not to let the stress get to you.” Ariana smiled comfortingly and then
retrieved a stunning set of jewelry from her bag. The earrings were pearls surrounded by fragments of diamonds, and the
necklace was particularly special, in the form of a revered symbol—a mother holding a baby.
Sarah was taken aback and asked, “How did you figure out what my song for today was about?”
Sarah hadn’t shared the details of her performance with Ariana.

She simply informed the production team of the song she would be singing.
Ariana smiled and replied, “Just a lucky guess. It seems like we have a special connection.”
At the same moment, Steven’s assistant unveiled a stunning off-shoulder half-hollow dress, which perfectly complemented the
necklace.
Betsy was in awe and exclaimed, “Oh my! What a gorgeous dress
It’ll look amazing on you.”
Sarah gazed at the dress with determination in her eyes.
Ariana said to Steven, “I’ll leave it to you. I’ll be heading to the auditorium to eagerly await the surprise.”
With that, she bid farewell to Steven and made her way out of the dressing room.
As Ariana settled into her seat in the audience, she was greeted by the sour expression of Jasper sitting beside her.
Without delay, he spoke out in a sarcastic tone. “You never cease to amaze me, inviting Steven to this event. I can only imagine
the amount of time and effort you must have put into securing his presence.”
Ariana was well aware of Jasper’s subtext, and she retorted with a chilly tone, “You seem to be unaware that Steven is a close
acquaintance of Ivan, the very designer you and Brielle disregarded. Yet, Ivan has achieved great success, recently winning a
prestigious international jewelry award.” @
Jasper’s expression grew tense as he asked, “What do you mean by that?” @

Ariana replied coolly, “Just a simple observation. It seems that many prominent brands are eager to join forces with Ivan now. It
might not be as easy for you to work with Ivan again, wouldn’t you agree?” Her words dripped with sarcasm, mirroring Jasper’s
earlier tone, which made him grind his teeth in frustration.
Jasper tried to hide his anger and put on a nonchalant expression. “It doesn’t matter to me. I have no interest in working with
Ivan again.”
However, the truth was far from his facade, and he was fuming inside.
