    When Evelyn woke up, she couldn’t help but sigh-it was another day of soreness all over. She

    rallied herself and headed to work at thepany.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    The atmosphere in the development department was tense, with a critical gaming project underway.


    Colin had been in charge, but today the whole team suddenly went on strike.


    The office was unusually quiet..


    Evelyn casually surveyed the group and walked directly to Colin. “On strike?”


    52%


    “Director Taylor, you’re overestimating me. I’m just a team leader, I don’t have the courage to lead a


    strike,” Colin replied humbly, wearing a smirk that showed ‘I’m asking for trouble.’


    “Did you forget your promise from yesterday?” Evelyn swung her phone.


    Colin’s expression froze for a moment, “As long as you need, I will fully cooperate with work.


    However, I have been ill; people do get sick from time to time.”


    “I’m afraid I won’t be able to work recently, I hope you can understand.” With that, he produced


    a medical certificate to request a one-month leave. One month, the project was due to finish in


    one month…


    Evelyn silently stared at the project proposal, her overwhelming presence making it hard for everyone


    in the room to breathe.


    “Are you really willing to give up such a good project?” Evelyn reiterated.


    She remembered this game from her previous life; it had a brief period of poprity and


    generated nearly two hundred million in value for the development team. Evelyn also remembered the


    name of thatpany-SD Inte Company, which was currentlypetitor of


    her agency.


    There were still two months until SD Inte Company released this game.


    Clearly, in her previous life, something must have happened within thepany to allow SD Inte


    Company to seize the opportunity and release the game first. Evelyn’s gaze remained resolute. In this


    lifetime, she could not afford to squander her grandmother’s efforts.


    Colin, however, paid little attention to Evelyn’s determination. He spoke with confidence, “I am not


    giving up, but Ick the ability. I am truly sick.”


    “I was originally worried about failing such a good project. Fortunately, Director Taylor appeared. With


    your skills,pleting this project shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Anyone could sense the meaning in


    his words.

    Luke, who Gavin just delivered to Evelyn as a assistance whispered a reminder, “This project is highly


    valued. Maybe you should…”


    “Okay,” Evelyn nodded. “Thanks.”


    As she turned to leave, she kindly added, “You have a chance to back out before I start the program.


    Maybe, this project will make you famous?”


    Colin smiled without saying a word, his eyes filled with mockery.


    After Evelyn left, people immediately gathered around Colin.


    “Doesn’t she know that Colin has been overseeing this project for two months? Now she


    wants to get involved? Ridiculous!”


    “There are plenty of people overestimating themselves. Just wait and see how that woman will end up.


    She has no idea how miserable she’ll be.”


    “She’ll probably be begging Colin on her knees tomorrow.”


    After organizing the materials, Evelyn realized that Colin had maliciously disrupted the code. In other


    words, the two months of progress before had beenpletely ruined. This means she only has one


    month left to redo this project. It was a task beyond a single person.


    As for those people left by Colin, she didn’t have high expectations; it would be good if they


    didn’t cause trouble.


    “Director,” Luke suddenly entered with a resignation letter, looking somewhat uneasy. “The UI artist for


    the project resigned suddenly. The HR department couldn’t retain them, even with triple


    the sry.”


    Evelyn: “…”


    Da mn it, Colin’s actions were truly ruthless. No matter how much code there was, without an artist, the


    game was useless.


    She asked Luke, “Can we borrow someone from other project teams?”


    Luke pursed his lips and remained silent.


    Clearly, it wasn’t possible.


    Evelyn bowed her head in contemtion., and suddenly a person shed in her mind-her

    spendthrift cousin, Zane. Due to his hobby, he had developed into an excellent Ul artist. His works were


    lively and creative, not necessarily the best on the market, but certainly the most


    innovative.


    Innovation could capture the yers’ attention.


    Evelyn didn’t dare to take the risk of hiring an artist who could be easily bought by Colin at any time.


    After dealing with the files at hand, she went straight to her uncle ‘s house.


    Lucy opened the door, she was surprised when she saw Evelyn. Her smile seemed forced.


    “Is something wrong?”


    Lucy quickly shook her head, ‘Nothing. Come in.”


    Evelyn nodded suspiciously. As soon as she entered, she noticed an eerie and heavy atmosphere.


    Quinton leaned on the corner of the sofa, bloodshot eyes filled with exhaustion. Quetzal was staring


    intently at a broken piggy bank in front of her with had red eyes.


    “Aunt, is this what you call ‘nothing wrong’?” Evelyn turned around.


    Lucy choked up, and Quinton and Quetzal looked up simultaneously, as if they had just


    noticed Evelyn’s arrival.


    “Evelyn.” Quinton called out.


    Quetzal couldn’t hide her feelings. She cried and rushed into Evelyn’s arms. “Evelyn, my brother, my


    brother is such a jerk.”
