In the car, Eileen looked out of the window and asked worriedly, “Mr. Lamont, if Ms. Lloyd regrets and
wants to continue thepetition, I can withdraw so as not to damage your rtionship.”
“I have nothing to do with her,” Edmond said in a very cold voice. “Since she withdrew from the
competition herself, let’s just let her have her way and drive.”
The atmosphere in the car was a bit awkward. The assistant stepped on the elerator, and the car
slowly drove away.
Edmond pursed his lips, wondering what he was thinking.
Inside the car, the lighting was dim. Eileen nced out of the window, a slight smile ying on her lips.
***
Wellfort, Hawk Heights.
As udia stepped out of the elevator, she saw a person squatting at the entrance.
Seeing udia, Horace quickly looked up and stood up with a face full of joy, saying, “You’re here, I’ve
been waiting for you…”
When Horace saw the person behind udia, his voice abruptly stopped.
“Ms. Lloyd, is this the ce?” asked the movers, holding suitcases and bags, pointing to the door
behind Horace.

udia nodded.
Horace quickly said, “Don’t move yet.”
He said to the movers of the movingpany, “Sorry, please wait for me for five minutes.”
After speaking, he walked up to udia with a pleading expression on his face, “Can you give me five
minutes of your time? There’s something I would like to ask for your help with.”
udia remained silent for a few seconds, seeing him standing there at a loss, and finally nodded,
“Let’s go inside and talk.”
The two people entered the house and, in order to avoid suspicion, did not close the door.
Horace paced in the living room, anxiously asking, “Did you voluntarily withdraw from thepetition?”
udia shook her head, “I did not withdraw.”
“And you…” Horace suddenly realized, “was it Edmond who forced you to quit?”
In everyone’s eyes, Eileen’s chances of winning were indeed much higher than udia’s, after all,
Eileen had experience while udia was just a neer.
Although it was uncertain whether it was Edmond or not, judging from his attitude…
udia smiled bitterly.
She had already had a falling out with Edmond that day, and it made sense for Edmond to not let her
participate in thepetition.

As for the matter of Eileen, it became intriguing in the blink of an eye.
Thinking of Edmond’s indifferent attitude, udia clenched her fist: “He also has his own
considerations…”
“That Eileen was supposed to represent ourpany in the
competition, but she withdrew citing illness, and before we knew it, she went to Edmond’s ce…”
Horace paused, his tone heavy. “I guess Eileen wanted to quit and join the Lamont Group from the
beginning. Ourpany participated in thispetition for my grandmother, who loves jewelry design.
When she found out about this, she got so angry that she fell ill.”
At the thought that this was Eileen’s scheme, udia couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.
She also knew that this was Eileen’s scheme, but Edmond might not be
unaware.
Thinking about how she couldn’t do anything to Eileen now, udia felt a pang of pain in her chest.
“I know you like jewelry design, and I have prepared a lot for thispetition. I came here this time to
ask if you are interested in representing the Ferguson family in thepetition,” Horace said. He
quickly added, “We don’t care about the ranking, I just want to give my grandmother something to look
forward to.”
udia raised her eyebrows, her mind suddenly stirred.
If Eileen had just obtained the ranking like this, she would definitely be unwilling.
I wanted Eileen to learn a lesson, and thispetition was a good opportunity for that.
“If Ipeted on behalf of your family, Edmond would probably be

furious,” udia said, her lips curling up and her eyes sparkling like blossoming flowers.
Horace’s heart ski pped a beat, and his lips cracked open, revealing two yful tiger teeth: “Do you
care about his thoughts?”
“I didn’t care.”
He didn’t care about her thoughts, so how could she care about his?
“Okay, I will participate in thispetition,” udia’s lips curled slightly upwards, and her eyes curved
at the corners. “Don’t worry, I will work hard to achieve a good ranking for your family. Even if I can’t
win the bread, I will fight for our dignity.”
She could imagine that once this matter was exposed, it would be a topic of conversation among
everyone after meals.
Fortunately, after enduring the storm for many days, she had developed a resilient and strong heart.
“Are you willing?” Horace stood up in surprise, gripping her hand excitedly. “Thank you, now I can
exin to my grandmother.”
udia broke free from his grip and instinctively took a step back.
Horace’s hand paused, awkwardly ced on the back of his head, as he stammered, “Yes, yes, I’m
sorry, I got too excited.”
“It’s okay,” udia was also startled by her own reaction.
Perhaps it was a reaction to pregnancy, she didn’t want the opposite sex to get too close to her.
“By the way, don’t move out, remember you said you wanted to buy this house? I’ll give you a 50%
discount, consider it as your reward for thepetition, okay?”

He had originally wanted to say that the entire house was a reward, but he knew that if he gave it to her
directly, she would definitely refuse again.
Hesitating for a moment upon hearing that he was willing to sell it to her at half price, udia
eventually nodded.
This is better than giving it to her directly.
She took advantage, so she should repay with a good position.
After Horace left, an unexpected guest arrived at the house.
udia had just finished washing up, wearing her pajamas and slippers, she walked to the door.
In the cat’s eyes, there stood Eileen, dressed in a cheongsam, with a
graceful posture.
Eileen heard footsteps behind the door and waved with a smile through the peephole, saying, “Ms.
Lloyd, I’m sorry to disturb you sote. I’vee to pick up something.”
Take something?
udia raised her eyebrows, ced her hand on the doorknob, and casually turned it as if nothing had
happened.
Outside the door, Eileen’s face lit up with a big smile. “Ms. Lloyd, earlier you took a box of jewelry from
Mr. Lamont. Now that you no longer have the qualification for thepetition, shouldn’t you return
these things?”
Eileen smiled sincerely, her mind wandering in a thousand different directions, yet not a hint of it
showed on her face.
She knew that udia and Edmond had made a bet, and since udia

was no longer representing the Lamont Group in thepetition, the jewelry sponsored by Edmond
should be returned.
I didn’t expect him toe and take this thing.
udia smiled, her sparkling eyes shimmering like stars under the lights, “Did Edmond send you?”
The voice was cold and clear, like a light veil brushing over an ice cer, both cold and not repulsive.
Eileen’s heart ski pped a beat as she looked into her beautiful eyes, her gaze dropping and concealing
the jealousy within.
“It’s sote and I’m making youe to pick up things, it’s really hard for you.”
udia smiled, charming and alluring, but the smile didn’t reach her
eyes.
She turned around and picked up a box from the coffee table.
Seeing such a big box, Eileen’s eyes lit up.
So many!
ording to the information she found, many things here are antiques and rare items, which would be
sna tched up like crazy if they were auctioned off.
Eileen was extremely excited.
Just as she was about to reach out her hand to catch it, udia turned around and ced the box on
the shoe cab.
“Sorry, my own jewelry got mixed in too,” udia chuckled, a hint of apology shing in her beautiful
eyes. “Why don’t you call Edmond

now and ask how many things are in the box?”
“Don’t worry, even if he doesn’t remember, the person who made the purchase will definitely
remember.”
Upon hearing these words, Eileen’s face turned pale instantly.
Did you call Edmond?
Edmond had no idea how she made the phone call.
