Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier)

Chapter 288

"Since Lily has already made it to the fimals, you haven't really helped me. But considering that you've put in some effort, I'll arrange a meeting for you to ser Xavier After that, you can handle things yourself. I can only help 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, help me pull up some surveillance 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 same time, she also discovered the relationship between Gloria and Terence. Not only were they in the same industry, 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 time Sarah 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, I 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 called me yesterday 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 called me when 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 become a thom in Xavier'ide, a constant source of imitation.
