Chapter 224
“Also, you knew Elia was my idol, and you didn’t even get me an autograph just now. That’s totally
outrageous!”
Vincent gave her a cold glance, “Go practice immediately. If you don’t pass the preliminary test
tomorrow, you’ll be the laughingstock!”
Pamela: ”

The next morning, Briana went straight to the venue of the design competition.
To host this competition, the Yearwood Group rented a venue and many high–tech surveillance devices
from the Yoder Group. They monitored the contestants as they drew their designs from all angles, and
even broadcasted the event live, allowing people nationwide to watch the process of the contestants
drawing. Of course, their competition numbers were not visible.
In addition to allowing the judges to provide anonymous feedback, they also selected a thousand
designers online to review and vote, serving as one of the references for the competition score.
Therefore, this competition was lively both online and offline.
Briana had just entered the venue when a person in work clothes hurriedly approached her and said,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“You’re the new assistant, right? Move those bottles of water in the corner to the players‘ lounge.”
The other party seemed very busy, they hurriedly left before Briana could even speak after giving
instructions.
Briana looked around, but didn’t see anyone resembling the assistant the other person had mentioned.
She checked the time, the game was about to start in twenty minutes.
The door to the rest room was closed ten minutes in advance. All contestants, unless they forfeited,
could not come out for the next three hours of the competition. If water was not brought in, they would
have to endure for three hours without it.
Briana hesitated for a few seconds, but still turned and walked towards the mineral water piled on the
side.
Just as I lifted two boxes, a surprised voice rang in my ear.
“How could you be here?!”
Briana turned her head and saw Kiley standing not far away, looking at her with a surprised expression.
Maxim was standing next to her. Having not seen him for half a month, he seemed even colder,
exuding an aura of unapproachability.
During this period, she occasionally saw news of Maxim attending parties with Kiley. It seemed that
after she rejected Maxim, he must have come to terms with it and got back together with Kiley.
Briana indifferently withdrew her gaze, not intending to greet Kiley, and turned to walk towards the
lounge with her water.
However, Kiley didn’t seem to intend to let her go, taking a few steps to her side and asking, “Are you
really short of money? Why are you even doing this kind of job?”
Briana couldn’t be bothered to deal with her, and just kept walking forward on her own.
“If you really didn’t have any money, you could have told me, I could have lent you some.”
Annoyed by her words, Briana turned her head and coldly stared at her, “Aren’t you bored?!”
Kiley looked aggrieved, “I’m just looking out for you. It breaks my heart to see you constantly doing this
kind of laborious work.”
Impatience flashed in Briana’s eyes, “Thank you, but I don’t need it.
Not wanting to see Kiley’s smug face again, Briana quickened her pace and left her behind.
Kiley didn’t pursue any further, after all, her goal of humiliating Briana had already been achieved.
“Maxim, I didn’t want to see my sister suffer like this. Could you please speak to the staff at the
Yearwood Group and ask them to fire her? I’ll go home tonight and discuss with my parents about
transferring some money to my sister.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaxim’s icy gaze fell on her face, his voice devoid of any warmth, “Weren’t you supposed to participate
in the competition? Time is running out.”
Kiley felt a bit resentful, looking at Maxim and saying, “Maxim…”
Maxim interrupted her impatiently, “Kiley, the only reason I’m here with you today is because of the
condition I agreed to before. Take care of yourself!”
After speaking, Maxim turned around and left directly.
Watching his retreating figure, a flash of resentment and anger flickered in Kiley’s eyes.
The first condition she had previously requested from Maxim over the phone was for him to take her to
drinking parties and banquets for the next three months, in order to familiarize their business partners
with
her. This way, when Zane went to negotiate business deals, the other party would be wary of her
relationship with Maxim and would not make things difficult for Zane.
Indeed, in the past half month, the Schneider Group had made more deals than in the previous half
year.
Zane’s attitude towards her and Mallory improved as well, he even stopped mentioning divorce
altogether. He even encouraged Kiley to hold onto Maxim, urging her to marry Maxim as soon as
possible.
