Chapter 108
After finishing his statement, Lukas walked away,
I stared at his departing figure, my eyes shimmering with confusion.
I couldn’t quite understand Lukas. Nevertheless, I decided to focus on my own affairs.
Third POV
Lukas went upstairs and stood in front of the bedroom’s floor–to–ceiling window.
He slowly peeled off a mint and threw it into his mouth. Watching the night light just come on, he rubbed the center of his eyebrows irritably.
He suddenly regretted bringing the cat back, but it was not easy to send it away now.
His relationship with Skylar shouldn’t be like this. It seems that something is out of his control.
Lukas looked out the window and called Martins. “I’ll personally go over the project in Mediopolis tomorrow.”
Martins was a little surprised. “Mr Strakovski, didn’t you say that Vice President would come over?”
Lukas said in a deep voice, “Tell him, he don’t have to come. Besides, help me book my flight for tomorrow.”
At the same time.
Elias received a Whatsapp friend request. When he saw that the note was Ava, he quickly accepted it.
However, before he could react, As a result, before Ava could reply, his phone seemed to be infected with a virus and directly accepted the transfer.
Elias stared at the screen of his phone with an ugly expression.
Elias: I didn’t order the payment just now. There was a problem with my phone. I won’t accept your money. I’ll send it to you.
As a result, his message had just been sent with a red exclamation mark behind it.
Elias’s handsome face turned blue, but the other party actually blocked him.
He couldn’t help but swear, “What the hell is this?”
He’s really convinced!
At Ava’s house, after Ava deleted her friends, she turned off her computer and went to rest.
She didn’t want to owe Elias a dime.
How could poor Elias know that his phone had been hacked by Ava for a moment?
He thought that his phone had malfunctioned before he received the payment.

Skylar POV
Back at my home, I found out that Lukas had gone on a business trip.
For several days, I didn’t see him at all.
Little Skylar’s injury had healed, and the excitement of winning the century jewelry competition made me forget about the awkward encounter with Lukas.
The final evaluation of the century jewelry competition had finally concluded.
At lunchtime, I and Raven had just finished eating when we heard a bitter voice coming from the design department.
“Isn’t it a first prize? You guys are touting her so much. There are many people who have won the Century Jewelry Competition.”
“Olivia, it’s not only because of this, but Skylar’s popularity has been high recently. Many people come to her for design.”
Olivia snorted coldly: “It’s ridiculous, in addition to the first prize in this competition, what other works can she win as a newcomer who has no works at all? If it wasn’t for the heat of the previous lawsuit, she would be so sought after, I think she won the award this time, 80% of the time it was because of the popularity of the plagiarism case before that the judges gave her the award.”
After she finished speaking, no one continued.
After all, the century jewelry competition was sponsored by Strakovski Jewelry, and her comments could be seen as undermining the company’s reputation.
As soon as Olivia finished speaking, Raven rushed into the design department, but I didn’t have time to stop her.
Raven, who was always timid, could not control her emotions at this time. She looked at everyone indignantly and complained for me: “You guys are hot–headed. What is designer Skylar’s ability? Can’t her recent design draft prove it?”
Olivia sneered: “What is the proof? Isn’t she just picking up a few more clients? What does this mean? Compared with the kind of talented designers who stand out in competitions, she is still far behind.”
Raven’s expression was ugly. She could not deny this, because I had participated in a well–known jewelry contest of the century so far.
Olivia’s words did not make sense.
In the jewelry industry, winning an award is really nothing. It takes a steady stream of inspiration and design talent to support a designer.
Ignoring Olivia, I entered the design department and calmly said, “Olivia, you’re right. I still have a long way to go. However, I will work hard to prove myself.”
After I spoke, Cole walked out of his office. Clearly, he had heard everything.
He calmly said, “In recognition of Skylar’s first–place win in the century jewelry competition, we’ll celebrate tonight at the design department, and I’ll treat everyone.”
After Cole’s announcement, Olivia’s face turned even more unpleasant as she clenched her hands tightly.
A large part of the reason why she targeted me before was that my appearance had broken some of the things Emily Scholl had left behind, and that I had embarrassed myself time and time again, making her hate it to the core of her bones.

Chapter 108
However, little did she know that Cole’s feelings for me were different from what she had imagined.
She had been in the Strakovski Jewelry Design Department for two years. From the beginning, she had liked Cole.
My appearance took away most of Cole’s attention. Olivia even wanted to pull out my cramps and deal with it quickly.
It was a pity that no one cared about her thoughts.
After Cole finished his treat, he looked at me again: “Skylar, come to my office.”
Hearing this, Olivia’s pupils shrank and she stared at me, wishing she could see through me.
