Meanwhile, Sean looked at the people watching them.His gaze filled with conflicting emotions as he glanced at Layla's face.
Layla was fuming at this moment.She dashed to Sean.
"Do you know Sadie wishes to sign her on?" Sean grabbed her arm.
"Let's talk outside." Layla laughed and wrenched her arm from him.
"I thought you were infatuated with her because of her beauty.It turns out you and Sadie have long colluded to replace me." "Nonsense!" Sean panicked as if Layla's words had exposed his true intention.
He immediately dragged her outside.
Layla was furious and glared at him.
"Everyone thinks you're a genius fashion designer. They have no idea that it's an image the company created for you.If I didn't work with you, you would have been a..." "Shut up." Sean pressed her shoulder against the wall and blocked the lights and camera above her with his body. His eyes gleamed chillingly in the dim surrounding.
Then, he said in a cold and threatening tone, “Layla, you know what I'm like. Don't cross the line" He tightened his grip on Layla's shoulder, causing her to frown in pain.
"You..." Before she could continue to speak, Sean coldly shoved her away.

"You guys are still here?" Sean immediately smiled at the contestant.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Layla is unwell. I'll send her back to her room" "Do you need any help?" The contestant saw Layla's face and noticed she was quite pale.
Sean glanced at Layla, prompting her to shake her head immediately and look down.
"I'm all right.Sean can sendback." "You two are so close.I'm envious of you." Sean smiled kindly and held Layla's hand.
"Let's go" As they walked away, those who saw them would think they were friends or lovers.
Only Layla knew how tightly Sean was gripping her hand.
It felt like he was trying to crush her wrist.
Meanwhile, Jean knocked on the door and entered the office to find Edgar sitting there alone.
There was no one from the director's team or camera crew around.
Jean retreated instinctively, but Edgar called out, "You should cin if you still wish to join this competition" All content is property © Nôvel.Org.
Jean glanced at him with annoyance.
"Mr.Royden, you seem to have much ton your hands" "I have begun to invest in this reality show" Edgar gestured for Jean to sit down.
Jean grunted in the affirmative but did not speak.
Edgar looked at her firmly and asked, "Are you not going to askanything?" He hoped she would ask about news concerning Royden Group and his relationship with Sherry.
Jean suddenly remembered something. She tilted her head and smiled at him.
"I do have a question.Has the competition's first prize been decided? Will it be prize money or a chance to collaborate with Mr.Cordova?" It was not a question Edgar anticipated. His tone turned solemn, and he sounded unhappy.
"Which one do you hope for?" Jean took a sip of coffee and found it bitter.She frowned and said, “This tastes terrible.Even instant coffee tastes better than this." Edgar looked at her disgusted expression and replied coldly, "It's the scoffee you drank with Hugo that day. Weren't you smiling happily then? Do you dislike it so soon? Ms.Eyer, your taste changes so fast" Jean was rendered speechless.
Then, she responded indifferently, “I didn't know you had such a hobby. You havefollowed and watched.Now, you even try to get involved in the design field. No wonder Royden Group is involved in all kinds of rumors." Jean thought her words would anger Edgar.
However, he smiled instead.
"It seems you have checked out news concerning Royden Group and me" Jean could not understand why he was happy about this and responded coldly, "My phonerecommended them towithout my permission.I have no interest in spying on other people's lives. Also, even if you invested in this competition, I have no obligation to sit here and chat with you." She got up to leave.
"Your opponent is trying to find a way to bring you down. Do you want to collaborate with me? I can let you win" Edgar astutely grasped the things she cared about.
"As for the competition prize, I think I, as the investor, will be able to give Mr.Cordova ssuggestions" His words succeeded in grabbing Jean by her weakness.
Jean wanted to win and obtain a chance to collaborate with Kalel.She pursed her lips and considered quickly.Her relationship with Layla was beyond repair.
Furthermore, she had no plans to accept the offer from Jolie Design Company.
Although the company was well-known in design, Jean had heard unfavorable rumors about it.
It seemed the company was not as nice as it appeared.Her suspicion was further confirmed by looking at the interactions between Layla and Sean.She only wanted to focus on designing and did not wish to get involved with any shady business.
Edgar was not in a rush. His expression reminded one of a fox that had secured its prey.
"How do you wish to collaborate?" Jean turned around and stared at Edgar.
"I need you to be possessive about me" "What?" Ten minutes later, Jean and Edgar left the office together.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKalel's assistant welcomed Edgar with a smile.
"Mr.Royden, why didn't you inform us that you would be here? I've already prepared afternoon tea downstairs. Mr. Cordova will be here soon." Edgar smiled.
"That's unnecessary.I only chere to see her.I'll be leaving now: His tone seemed to imply something.
The assistant was stunned briefly before nodding.
"Sure.....I'll walk you out' Edgar smiled gently and tapped Jean's nose m saying warmly, I'll be leaving first. Good luck with the competition" Jean looked at his face and was on the verge of bursting with fury.She thought he had gone insane.
However, his words still rang in her ears.
"If you choose to work with me, you must showyour utmost concern and admiration.
Of course, you are free to refuse, but it means you might not be able to persist until the end of the competition." It's a blatant threat! Jean clenched her teeth and stared at Edgar.
"Take care." Kalel's assistant witnessed their interactions from the side.
Edgar smiled with satisfaction.
After he left, he even arranged for someone to deliver coffee and ice cream to her.
Soon, news about Edgar spending twith Jean spread among the contestants. Meanwhile, Miles reported the latest information to Edgar in the car.
"Mr.Edbert bought shares in Pinnacle Group under his name. However, it was not much" "I need you to continue observing this.Uncle Edbert has always been cautious. He would never act unless he has enough baits in place."
