you up to this point." Sarah didn't care whether Lily had design talent or whether she could participate in the

competition. Even if Lily were to go abroad for the competition, it would actually be more beneficial than harmful

to her. She quickly dialed a number, and the call was answered within seconds.

"Corey, helppull up ssurveillance footage..."

Within half an hour, the footage of Terence entering Gloria's room on the afternoon of the third round was sent to

Sarah's phone.

At the stime, she also discovered the relationship between Gloria and Terence. Not only were they in the

sindustry, but he was also classmates with Gloria's son

Sarah arrived early at Nova Group the following day and went straight to Xavier's office before work hours.

At that time, he had just gotten up. His deep-set features looked sharp, and he walked out of the lounge,

fastening the buttons of his white shirt one by one. The tailored suit accentuated his tall, lean frame. Though he

was slightly disheveled, he didn't appear messy. Instead, he exuded a cold, restrained alr

This was the first tSarah had seen him like this, and her heart skipped a few beats.

"Is there something you need? Xavier asked, tying his tie, his indifferent gaze lazy and distant

"Do you remember Lawrence?" She quickly lowered her eyes, hiding the excitement and affection that had

stimed in her.

He remained expressionless. Almost without thinking, he replied, "No, | don't."

He met many people daily, and Lawrence, a small competition organizer, made no lasting impression.

"He's the official organizer of the Avelon Designs Competition. He calledyesterday and mentioned

something." she held a brown paper bag. "Why don't yo open it and take a look yourself?"

"Just tell me," he said, not wanting to beat around the bush. He could tell from her expression that she knew

what was in the paperbag

Sarah frowned slightly. "Lily's elimination is a ruse. Terence helped her obtain a trump card from Gloria, and now

she can directly advance to the international Finals."

Xavier paused while adjusting his watch, his gaze sharp as he looked at her. "Didn't you say that Gloria can't

tolerate any inside deals and is the least likely to manipulate things?

"That's true, but I've investigated. Terence and Gloria's son are very close. Because I've always insisted on

faimess, Lawrence Immediately calledwhen he noticed something, worried that Nova Group might pull out

their sponsorship."

Even if Lawrence were around, he would still go along with whatever Sarah suggested, considering the

sponsorship. Thus, no matter how she framed things, her words were foolproof.

Xavier's profile stiffened, and he sat down at h

his desk after straightening his clothes. His eyes grew colder. "Leave."

"okay." Sarah wanted to say more, but the chilling air around him made her cautious. She decided to leave

instead.

He immediately called Timothy over through the internal line as soon as she left.

"Check what's in this and verify if it's true."

Xavier didn't trust Sarah. In fact, he relied more on his own investigations.

But the things that needed verifying were simple-whether Gloria really planned to use her trump card to get Lily

into the finals and whether the relationship between Terence and Gloria was, as Sarah said, It turned out that

both were true.

Timothy gathered the information in just ten minutes and reported back to Xavier.

Gloria had the power to use the trump card, but it required approval from Avelon Designs. After an internal

review, it was confirmed that she had not abused her power.

So, at this point, it was well-known within Avelon Designs that Lily was one of Gloria's recommended candidates.

The complex relationships between Lily and Terence had beca thom in Xavier'ide, a constant source of

imitation.
