“That’s good,” Xyla Quest said.“What about you. Did you miss me?” Stanley Batton asked.“Yeah, I do…” Xyla answered honestly.“Be a good girl and wait for me. I’ll come back as soon as I’m done with work. Do you want any gifts?” Stanley said.“Can I ask for anything?” Xyla asked.“I’ll give you anything you want,” Stanley said.“Can you give me the stars in the sky if that’s what I wanted?” Xyla said jokingly.“That’s way too easy. Once they discover a new star in the galaxy, I’ll purchase it and name it after you…” Stanley said.Xyla immediately felt warmth spreading in her heart when she heard this. “I was just kidding. I don’t want anything but you…”When they finished talking, it was already eleven o’clock.Xyla went into the shower to wash her hair and to clean off the soap bubbles all over her body. After that, she wrapped herself in a white bathrobe and quickly stood in front of the dressing table.Once she dried her hair, she applied some skincare product on her fac

“I zoned out all of a sudden…” Sebastian Brenand said.Gradually, their car moved away from the scene of the accident. Through the rearview mirror, Xyla Quest could see that the traffic police had arrived.The crowd surrounding the car was getting larger.“You really are something… Don’t you know that you have to pay full attention while you’re driving?” Xyla said.“Alright, stop nagging at me, Xyla. I’m fine, anyway. Let me be quiet for a while…” Sebastian said.Xyla was speechless.She drove Sebastian to the nearest hotel, Palace Hotel.Once the car stopped, Sebastian let out a helpless sigh. “Thank you, Xyla. I’ll get going then…” he said.“Don’t you need me to help you sort things out?” Xyla asked.“It’s okay. The traffic police will come to me… Besides, I didn’t hurt anyone. There’s nothing much to deal with…” With that, Sebastian waved at Xyla and turned around to leave.“Sebastian…” Xyla couldn’t help but call out.“What is it?” Sebastian suddenly stopped walking and

Seeing Sebastian Brenand like this made Xyla Quest feel very sad.***After arriving at the office, Xyla took the elevator to her office.Since there wasn’t much work to be done in the morning, she took her unfinished blueprint from her drawer and continued to draw on it.She had a very serious expression on her face.Buzz buzz buzz...After drawing for a short while, Xyla’s phone started to vibrate again.There was a notification from Weibo News on the screen.“A luxury car worth tens of millions destroyed. The owner left without turning back…”As soon as Xyla saw this title, she could sense that they were talking about Sebastian. Hence, she quickly clicked on the link to carefully go through the entire post on Weibo.“Just an hour ago, for some unknown reason, a limited-edition Lamborghini crashed into a tree. Although the car was severely damaged, its owner didn’t seem to care. Instead, he looked down and made a call. After that, he got into the car of his good friend, Xyl

Gary Lakes’ name appeared on the screen.“What do you want?” Sebastian Brenand picked up the phone while kicking his slippers away. He then tucked himself under the white duvet and closed his eyes.“Are you back from Edgewater? When did you come back? How did you get into a car accident?” Gary was leaning against the railing on his balcony as he smoked. He was also looking down at the garden full of flowers in bloom.“I came back last night… Hmm. I’m fine, but the car isn’t…” Sebastian said.Gary took a deep breath. “Well… Did you see Rachel? Didn’t you two patch things up? Why do you look so terrible?” he asked carefully.“Stop talking about it. She’s already married. We’ll talk over drinks tonight. I’m hanging up…” Sebastian said before directly hanging up the phone.Gary frowned slightly. After looking at his phone screen for a while, he shifted his gaze back to the flowers in his garden. “Rachel Wood…” He murmured to himself.There was an indescribable sense of disappointmen

Under everyone’s gaze, Xyla Quest slowly walked up the stage. She went directly over to the standing microphone and stood in front of it, next to Emily Quest. Xyla then picked up the microphone on the computer table and looked at the crowd.“Welcome, everyone, to our blueprint design competition… I’m sure all of you know the rules. I shan’t explain further… Let the selection process begin…” Xyla said.“Sister… Where’s the designer you found? Isn’t she coming?” Emily asked.“That designer is me… Aren’t I here?” Xyla chuckled.Emily seemed horrified and shocked…The crowd went silent.Very soon, everyone began talking amongst themselves.“What’s going on? Does Chief Xyla know how to design blueprints?”“I don’t know… I’ve never heard about it before…”“If she even knows how to do this, she’s really impressive…”When May Conner heard this, she laughed sarcastically and walked over to Jeremy before sitting next to him.Xyla had never learned anything about architectural design.
Chapter 774
Emily Quest’s blueprint design was hand-drawn in a 3D format.The arrangement of land around the beach was clearly outlined, and each area was labeled with texts.It was a cartoon-style design.Various cartoon drawings could be seen all over the design. The primary colors were blue and white, and the whole thing looked dreamy, almost as if it was from a fairytale.When Xyla Quest saw Emily’s design, she immediately started smiling coldly.Xyla didn’t think Emily would display the blueprint design Xyla felt least satisfied with.In fact, it was the original drawing…This was no longer plagiarism. Instead, it was direct piracy.Xyla had thrown this design away back then because she found it too ordinary.It didn’t stand out from other regular ocean theme parks.To Xyla’s greater surprise, the audience was actually moved by such a plain blueprint design.While everyone watched, Emily started explaining her design to them. They enjoyed listening to her more and more.Matt Leopo

Now that the crowd had fallen silent, Xyla Quest’s voice became unusually clear.Soon, the expression on everyone’s face changed from a condescending one to one of hope and admiration…With everyone watching, Xyla continued to introduce her design one page at a time confidently. She seemed calm the entire time.In fact, she looked like a fairy standing on a cloud, giving instructions to the rest of the world.Her perfect blueprint design, coupled with her seamless introduction, easily helped the audience to imagine how the palace-inspired ocean theme park would look like in their minds.After her presentation ended, Xyla slowly looked up and smiled at the audience. “I’m done presenting my blueprint design…”Suddenly, everyone in the crowd started clapping loudly…“D*mn… Isn’t our Chief Xyla too amazing?”“This looks way more high-class than the cartoon design!”“Did she really only study design for half a year? Is she a prodigy?”There was a sudden change in the employees’ at

“To be honest, I didn’t want to say this. But I can’t help it because if I don’t bring it up, it will greatly affect our company’s reputation. My sister’s design is a work of plagiarism,” Emily Quest looked at Jeremy Quest earnestly and said.“What did you say?” Jeremy seemed to be in a state of disbelief.“This blueprint design looks very much like Lily’s when she first started drawing. There is an 80% semblance to her previous work. Perhaps not many people know this, but as her loyal fan, I know very well… I can show everyone if you don’t believe me,” Emily said.After that, she immediately searched for a blueprint design from the computer and displayed it on the large screen.The blueprint design was a huge, complete drawing. Whether it was in terms of style or layout, it had an 80% similarity to Xyla Quest’s design.When the employees saw this, they were all stunned…Even the three architectural designers seemed confused.The style and format displayed allowed anyone smart t
