Chapter 772


    Gary Lakes’ name appeared on the screen.


    “What do you want?” Sebastian Brenand picked up the phone while kicking his slippers away. He


    then tucked himself under the white duvet and closed his eyes.


    “Are you back from Edgewater? When did youe back? How did you get into a car ident?”


    Gary was leaning against the railing on his balcony as he smoked. He was also looking down at the


    garden full of flowers in bloom.


    “I came backst night… Hmm. I’m fine, but the car isn’t…” Sebastian said.


    Gary took a deep breath. “Well… Did you see Rachel? Didn’t you two patch things up? Why do you


    look so terrible?” he asked carefully.


    “Stop talking about it. She’s already married. We’ll talk over drinks tonight. I’m hanging up…”


    Sebastian said before directly hanging up the phone.


    Gary frowned slightly. After looking at his phone screen for a while, he shifted his gaze back to the


    flowers in his garden. “Rachel Wood…” He murmured to himself.


    There was an indescribable sense of disappointment in his eyes.


    ***


    Many dayster, it was finally time for the blueprint design selection.


    Early in the morning, X was woken up by her pre-set rm.


    She got up to make sure her blueprint design looked fine. After that, she cleaned herself up and put


    on some light make-up. She then put on an oversized white shirt and a pair of velvet-red heels.


    As X stood in front of a gold-engraved dressing mirror, she carefully checked her reflection to


    make sure her make-up seemed alright. After that, she casually unfastened the ck ribbon around


    her hair.


    In the next second, her ponytail came loose.


    Her long, thick, and curly hair dangled naturally around her.


    The spotless mirror perfectly reflected her fair skin, her perfect curvatures, and her beauty and


    elegance.


    Although she had on very little make-up, her facial features seemed intricate and perfect all the


    same.


    Casually, X retrieved a red Chanel backpack from the racks for bags. She strapped it on behind


    her and left the room with her blueprint design.


    The first thing she did was to eat breakfast in a restaurant.


    After filling her stomach, she made her way to Quest Group.


    At this point, there were still over ten minutes left before the blueprint design selection took ce.


    X stopped her car and quickly made her way into Quest Group.


    As soon as she walked in, she could see that a temporary stage had already been built in the main


    lobby…


    There was a projector, a huge disy screen, and aputer on the stage.


    Emily Quest was already standing on stage, wearing a bright, red dress. Her long ck hair went


    past her shoulders. There wasn’t the slightest sign of a smile on her face.


    Meanwhile, there were countless chairs off-stage. There was an employee on every single seat.


    It looked like all the employees of thepany had arrived.


    May Conner had personally arranged for all of this.


    For the sake of thispetition, May started getting people to set the stage up days before. She


    also promoted thepetition throughout thepany.


    Her goal was to make everybody aware of Emily’s undertaking.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    When May saw that X was here, she quickly approached X and held her hand. “X…


    Where’s your designer friend? Why isn’t she here yet?”


    X smiled without saying anything. She quickly scanned around.


    Very soon, she saw her father, as well as the three architectural designers she met at home


    previously.


    They were seated right in front of the stage. At that moment, they seemed to be having an


    enjoyable conversation.


    “She’s here,” X said while pushing May’s hand away.


    With that, X walked hastily over to Jeremy Quest. “Dad… I have a surprise for youter…” She


    said.


    “Okay…” Jeremy said with a look of excitement in his eyes.
