Chapter 54
Ivy was smart enough to catch Whitney’s weakness every time.
On the surface, he seemed to care about Whitney.
In reality, he had been trying to plot against her all the time.
That’s right. Whitney succeeded in becoming a pawn.
The intimidation from unknown calls, the persuasions from best friends, and the profound fear within….
Whitney was unable to fall asleep anymore.
She had never thought that she would end up in such a miserable state.
She bought 999 roses.
Of course, it wasn’t to admire it, and it wasn’t because she was being romantic.
One petal after another, she carefully tore them off the roses.
Muttering to herself, Whitney said, “To go, or not. To go, or not…”
She did so repeatedly as her mixed emotions intertwined with her actions.
Eventually, there was only one petal left.
Her hand suddenly stopped.
Instantly, there was a spark of hope within her eyes.
As she brought the beautiful and alluring petal before her eyes, Whitney carefully examined its veins on
the surface. The
she placed it on the tip of her nose, gently
inhaling its fragrance before uttering firmly, “Go.”
She had finally found the answer.
Whitney was so tired that she struggled to keep her eyes open.
She took out some sleeping pills from her bag and swallowed them, before taking a few
gulps of water. She then lay in bed, waiting to fall asleep.
At this moment, she was like a child in fear.
She felt helpless and isolated.
That night, she had all sorts of chaotic dreams.
Finally, she dreamed of herself.
In that dream, she was in a decisive battle with Kimberly.
In order to win, she teamed up with outsiders and betrayed Larson Corporation.
She had executed everything flawlessly, but for some reason, it seemed as if Kimberly was aided by
some divine assistance, unraveling her meticulously crafted scheme.
Eventually, Whitney was abandoned on a desolate island.
She kept struggling and screaming with all her heart.
“Don’t leave me here, don’t leave me here!”
However, no one responded to her.
Yandel was so disappointed in Whitney that he was unwilling to cast another glance in her direction.
Meanwhile, Cameron stood aside. In order to protect himself, he wanted to sever ties with Whitney
instead.
Meanwhile, Kimberly looked down on Whitney like a true queen.
It was as if these nightmares were ferocious beasts, slowly devouring her.
After only two hours of sleep, she was awoken by nightmares.
Her forehead was covered with sweat, while tears glistened at the corners of her eyes. Her body felt
damp.
She got up and turned on the faucet in the bathroom.
She deliberately adjusted it to cold water mode, allowing the icy water to wash over her.
It felt as if this could wash away all her distress and worries.
[If you love him, send him to Larson Corporation.]
This was a trending post for Larson Corporation employees.
Yeah, he was showing off his job.
The netizens were jealous. “With such a charming CEO and a very promising job, are they still
recruiting any staff?’ they wondered to themselves.
Kimberly reminded everyone at the meeting, “In two or three days, the ‘LOVE’ brand will send
representatives to conduct market research here. For this, we have put in a lot
of effort and preparation. During this period, everyone will have to work hard.
Especially the design department, you might have to clock in more overtime during this period than
before.”
The attendees sat in silence in their own places as they listened carefully to Kimberly’s instructions.
“Don’t worry, Larson Corporation has always been fair in rewards and punishments. I have always
noticed and remember all your efforts. After this is over, it will be our celebration party.”
Upon mentioning that, thunderous applause erupted within the venue.
Kimberly then motioned for everyone to stop.
At the same time, she requested the staff from the design department to improve and optimize the
existing design.
No matter what, they had to come up with the most flawless and best work possible.
When the meeting was over, Kimberly returned to her office and sat languidly in her leather chair.
The Katherine Xander before had used to pursue any task until the very end.
There was never a backup plan for her.
She would learn from her mistakes along the way.
Kimberly was pleased with the recent performance of the staff at Larson Corporation.
Everyone strived to catch up with each other, competing as they moved forward. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
So far, the design works that were produced seemed quite good overall.
However, she always felt like they were lacking a certain something.
Furthermore, the plagiarism incident involving Whitney and Genevieve previously also served as a
wake-up call for her.
She had to ask Samuel for help.
At the moment, Samuel was not in the country. For most of the year, he shuttled between various major
fashion shows.

In his words, it wasn’t because he liked the hustling and lively atmosphere, but because he could be
with so many excellent designs and designers, where he could spark his inspiration.
She picked up the phone and dialed his number. “Samuel, the brand ‘LOVE’ will be in the country in
two or three days. How’s the status of that design project I mentioned to you previously?”
Kimberly was secretly delighted, but she didn’t express her thoughts directly.
“Samuel, I’m asking you to hand in your assignment in the name of your boss, you know?”
Samuel was an internationally renowned designer.
He had always been dedicated to design only.
Moreover, he was not signed to any company.
It wasn’t that there weren’t any companies willing to sign him.
In fact, there was a constant stream of people wanting to sign him and bring him into their fold.
However, he never gave them the chance to do so.
Samuel simply didn’t want to be tied down.
To him, designers were most afraid of having their soul bound, as it could easily cause them to exhaust
their design inspiration.
Even so, he still gave in when faced with his most beloved younger sister.
Of course, he was confident that she would respect all his original inspiration.
That’s right. Samuel joined Larson Corporation as their mysterious designer.
Only the CEO of the company, Kimberly, knew about it.
Samuel had just gotten off the stage from a fashion show when he received a call from Kimberly.
He glanced around and noticed that the CEO of LOVE brand sitting next to him.
The CEO was also his mentor.
Samuel then the phone..
got up to ans
“Kimberly, the design work just needs some final touches, and it will be ready.” Samuel’s gentle voice
gave a sense of security.
She could hear the noisy background on the other end of the conversation, as well as Samuel’s low
voice.
Kimberly asked, “So which venue are you at now?”
Just as Samuel was about to answer, a staff member came over to look for him.
There would be an award presentation segment later, and he was required to go on stage as an award
presenter.
After hanging up the call in a hurry, Samuel entered the venue.
As soon as he walked in, the CEO of LOVE had already delivered a speech on stage.
He then sat in his seat, looking at his mentor as he pondered, ‘I wonder what he would think if he knew
that I had refused to join LOVE all this time, and yet I’ve joined Larson Corporation?”
The mentor knew that Samuel was a talented designer who wanted freedom and didn’t want to be
commercialized.
For any designer, if they became a mere pawn, they would unknowingly carry the responsibility of sales
in the downstream process of the product design chain.
That was also the reason many designers who seemed to have a promising future initially but ended up
with their talents exhausted, which was regrettable.
As for Samuel, he valued his talent and reputation very much.
It was a very rare thing indeed.
