Chapter 418

She had deliberately raised her voice.

Sean’s expression sank.

“Let’s have breakfast first.” Content property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Jean was impressed with his patience and pulled out a chair to sit down.

“Perhaps you are being nice to me because you think I will be successful in the future.”

Sean was rendered speechless.He placed the coffee on the table and looked at her with a conflicted gaze.

It seemed Jean did not care about anything, but she knew everything.

Sean glanced at the camera behind them.

After hesitating, he found a piece of paper and wrote a few words before pushing it to Jean.

He did not want to be discovered.

Jean glanced at the paper and answered straight away, “You’re right.That’s my work”

Then, she looked up at Sean and took in his shocked reaction.

“You knew since yesterday, right? Why do you need to come here to confirm this?”

Although the inspiration for that design draft came from Edgar, each designer has their own styles and techniques that were hard to change.

Furthermore, they were in a rush yesterday, so Jean would not have time to plagiarize from someone.

Moreover, Sean was with her all the while.He could see that Jean was talented.

Unlike him and Layla, Jean had plenty of untapped potentials.

The freshness of her designs was rare among designers.

It was also something that Sean had never been able to accomplish all these years.

He thought about it the whole night and knew he needed to build a good relationship with Jean.

Furthermore, he knew he would even have to give up working with Layla if required.He curved his lips into a smile and continued to speak gently, “I was a little shocked.Why didn’t you claim it?”

Sean glanced at the camera behind him.

Anyone else would have long revealed their abilities, but somehow, Jean kept it hidden until now.

Thus, Sean was curious and wondered what her purpose was.

Jean looked at him solemnly.

“That’s my own business”

After saying that, she ignored Sean and looked at the magazine photos on the side.

She wondered what the organizers planned for today.

Meanwhile, the director looked at the live recordings and wondered, “What happened? Why is she treating Sean coldly?”

“The fight yesterday was between Layla and Jean.It had nothing to do with Sean.”

The assistant director was worried.

“Jolie Design Company even insist that we put them ina group.This…”

“Let’s wait and see”

The director scratched his head.

They could not afford to offend either side.

At the same time, Royden Group made investment into Kalel’s studio.It was sudden with no explanation given.

“Mr.Royden, I’ve arranged everything.The other side has also received the fund.”

Edgar looked out of the window silently.

Then, he responded coldly, “How’s the news with Pinnacle Group developing?”

“Almost everyone knows about it.Mr.Edbert even called to ask whether you are in a relationship with Ms.Summer”

Edgar sneered and muttered, “Uncle Edbert is already impatient”

Miles waited quietly for his order.

However, Edgar remained silent for a long time.

“Let’s return to the company.Remember to keep quiet if anyone comes to inquire about anything.”

Since the other side wants to play, I’ll play with them.

Meanwhile, Sherry read the news on her phone in a hotel room and became anxious.

“Why won’t he clear up the rumors?”

She was panicking and could not help recalling how Edgar looked at her last night.He knew she was colluding with Edbert but did nothing about it.lt was not because he couldn’t.

In actuality, he was waiting to see how things would unfold.

Once he finds the right opportunity, he will…

Suddenly, Sherry’s phone rang.She jumped in surprise and pursed her lips upon seeing the caller’s name.

“Hello, Mommy.”

Venus sounded happy.

“You did well.

Your father is also happy with your performance.

We have decided to return to the country earlier and booked flight tickets for next Tuesday.Then, you can invite Edgar to meet with us”

“Mommy, you don’t have to come here so soon.”

In her anxiety, she pressed her fingernails into her palm and nearly cut her skin.

“You should get ready for the engagement so that we have the wedding at the end of the year.It’s time to prepare.All right then, you should get an early rest.”

In all the years of her life, Sherry had never heard Venus speaking to her with such a gentle tone.

After Venus hung up, Sherry slowly closed her eyes.

What should I do? Next Tuesday happens to be the final day of the competition.Sherry’s eyes flashed with a cruel gleam.In the next few days, the competition proceeded without a hitch.

It felt like a gathering of fashion designers.

Even Layla did not deliberately cause problems for Jean.

However, that might be due to Jean keeping her distance from her.

Contestants from other groups also gradually realized that Jean was not as bad as the rumors said.

“Her design skills seem even better than Sean’s.

Look at her drawing.

She must be talented’ A few contestants whispered amongst themselves.

Jean quietly ate her meal and pretended not to hear anything.

‘Slam!’ Layla dumped the meal tray before Jean and sneered, “You’re incredible.Your scores surpassed mine in just a few days”

Jean did not bother to look at her and continued eating.

Layla had never been ignored this way.She gritted her teeth and said, “You’re new to this field, so you might not know about this.If you offend Jolie Design Company, you will never be able to work in this field”

Jolie Design Company? Jean knew this company.

It started around the same time as MON & Co.

However, Jolie Design Company had rich capital and access to overseas markets.

That was why Sean had the chance to collaborate with Kalel many times.

Jean blinked.

“Do you own Jolie Design Company?”

Layla was stumped.

The contestants nearby heard the conversation and could not help laughing.

Layla glared at Jean and said through gritted teeth.

“I have the authority to speak for Jolie Design Company.I can easily say a few words and stop any design company from hiring you.”

Jean finished the last bite and looked at Layla indifferently.

“Are you scared now?”

Layla was pleased with Jean’s reaction.

Jean’s usual calm gaze was finally gone.

Thus, Layla raised her eyebrows and said gleefully, “If you apologize to me now, I might consider letting you stay in this field”

The other contestants became quiet and looked at Jean and Layla.

“I’ve heard that Layla has a bad personality, but I never expected her to bully someone openly.Isn’t this a reality show? Is she not afraid to be filmed, or is this a pre- arranged script?”

“Shh, not so loud.”

Jean glanced at Layla’s face and took out a paper from her shirt pocket.

Layla immediately recognized it.

It was a grid paper used by Jolie Design Company’s design department.

Furthermore, it had Sadie’s stamp on it.

“Layla, I’ve said it before. Don’t mess with me. You will never know who gets to remain in this field? Jean replied coldly and put the paper back in her pocket.Then, she stood up to leave.

The other contestants were still watching her.

Sean, who had just walked in, heard Jean and Layla’s conversation.

However, he still smiled.

“Jean, the director team wants you to head over.They say Mr.Royden is here.”
