Chapter 170

Salem City’s Annual Rose Festival was a famous event because anyone could find a variety of rare
roses here. The florists and rose farmers worked relentlessly on inventing new species for the
competition.

The final event of this festival was a competition for the Best Rose Species Award, and only a couple
dozen species were selected a s finalists. The winner will be announced based on the final sales of the
roses.

The competition was separated into an online and offline event, and it all depended on the total sale
amount of that very day. The florist owners worked for almost a year just for this competition. Once
their premium rose was elected to be the Best Rose, they will invest in advertisers and manufacturers
to create products based on the winner.

Sage came to the festival with the purpose of selecting a rose to be used for the Norah Group’s jewelry
line campaign

At the central point, one could see many hosts making sales on the online market. On the top three
rankings, one of them was the bouquet Jace gifted her – the Charlotte Lady – the other two were the
pinkish Lonsé Girl and the Starry Party yellow roses. They were all beautiful in their own way.

All the top three roses sales were very close to each other, it was hard to tell who was going to be the
winner.

“Which one do you think will win in the end?” Jace curiously asked Sage.

“It doesn’t matter,” said Sage. “I have my own preferences that might differ from the general opinion.”





Jace raised his eyebrows and got what she meant. He was overjoyed when Sage promised to come to
the event with him, although i n the end, she came here for business purposes. It was a huge
breakthrough in their relationship having Sage willing to attend an event together with him. Baby steps,
he thought t o himself.

Patience is a virtue when it comes to pursuing Sage’s love.

What Sage meant was, that she can make any species she preferred as the Best Rose as it solely
depended on the highest sale.

Jace thought Sage had not made up her mind yet, and comforted her. “Either one of the top three will
be the trend for the year, son o matter what you choose, it’ll work out well.”

Sage shook her head, “You got it wrong, Norah Group’s jewelry line was never a follower of the trend, it
will always be a trendsetter.”

Jace looked astoundedly at Sage because she sounded righteous.

Yes, righteous, as she was speaking as though it were a fact. Although Norah Jewelry was not as
popular as before, it was once the leading group of the industry.

With the passing of Sawyer and Primrose Norah and the poor management of Braxton Norah, their
jewelry line has deteriorated for three years.

Yuriel Jewelry was also one of the pioneers of the jewelry industry. However, their advantage was
having the best diamond cutting technology and a reputable branding, and Norah had the trendsetting
advantage.

Jace stared at Sage and asked, “So, which one was your favorite?” Sage smiled and replied, “Take a
guess.”
