Chapter 1063
“Since Grape is here, thank you for taking care of her.”
“Mr. Russell, you’re too kind. This is simply part of our duties.”
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Dexter then approached Grape.
A tall figure stood before her, but Grape waspletely unaware. In that moment, she was deep in
thought, holding a Lego piece. Dexter extended his hand, pointing to a specific location. “Try cing it
here…”
When Josie returned to the scene at the Golden Key Awards, she was met with a sarcastic remark.
“Some people these days are bing more and more arrogant, with no sense of time at all.”
It was Lily.
She looked at Josie with a face full of disdain, as if a surge of anger welled up from the depths of her
eyes, yearning to consume Josie.
Josie didn’t pay her any mind. She simply offered a polite “I’m sorry” to everyone.
Following that, she promptly immersed herself in her work.
When Lily saw that her remark was ignored without causing any reaction, the imbnce in her heart
surged once again.
If it hadn’t been for her discovery by Larry that day, she would have already obtained the evidence to
ruin Josie. At this very moment, Josie wouldn’t be standing here unharmed.
But now, she no longer had any evidence.
As Lily let out a cold huff, a calcting glint shed across her gloomy face.
Regardless, she was determined to drive Josie out of the panel of judges.

There were numerous entries in the second round of the excellencepetition. Under the unanimous
decision of the panel of judges, the finalists who would proceed to the finals were selected.
After finishing her work, Josie was preparing to go home. As soon as she reached the underground
parking lot, a figure darted out, blocking her path. “Ms. Alice, could you please wait a moment?”
Josie raised an eyebrow.
She didn’t recognize the man before her. “May I ask who you are?”
The man revealed a hint of a smile, his gaze radiating friendliness. “Ms. Alice,” he began, “I am a fan of
yours. I have seen almost all of your designs. Whether it’s the design concept or the design pattern,
they are all top-notch. You have always been the role model I look up to…”
In response to the man’s praise, Josie politely replied, “Thank you.”
“Ms. Alice, I also registered for the Golden Key Awards. The Saint Dezburg Bridge was my design…”
Upon hearing that, Josie had some recollection.
The design of this artwork was grand and majestic, and it had already been shortlisted for the finals.
“Your design is quite innovative, a rare gem among numerous works. If you give it your all in the final
round, you’re certain to achieve great results.”
The man chuckled, lifting his head to survey his surroundings. Finally, he pulled out a thick envelope
from his pocket. “Ms. Alice, I hope you can vote for me during the final round…”
Unspoken rules?
There was no need for guessing. Josie already knew what was inside the envelope.
The expression on her face instantly becameposed, turning incredibly serious.
“Fairpetition is the greatest respect for this contest, and sincerity in one’s work is best reflected by
a clear mind. If one’s focus is diverted to devious tactics, it’s impossible to create a good piece of
work.”
With that, Josie turned around and left.
The man, however, pursued her, stopping her without any exnation. Regardless of whether Josie
would refuse, he directly stuffed the envelope into Josie’s hands.
It was a hefty stack, carrying some weight.
Josie’splexion hadpletely changed.
Without any hesitation, she returned the item to him and sternly said, “Bribing the judges can lead to
disqualification. If you don’t take it back, I’ll have no choice but to report you to themittee.”
“Don’t—”
Upon hearing her speak in such a manner, the man couldn’t help but feel a twinge of guilt.
“Please ept my sincere apologies, Ms. Alice.”
