Chapter 234 Goodbye

"Don't ask why. Do what you are told. Where are all these questions

from?"

Irene grimaced, logged on to her microblog, and wrote a terse

statement.

“I am so sorry that I have quit the competition because the work that I

submitted did not belong to me. I stole from others and kept them for

myself. I feel uneasy in my heart and my conscience is also

condemned, I finally decided to admit it publicly. I am sorry and hope

you all can forgive me. I promise that I will never do it again. "

Irene's microblog had hundreds of thousands of fans, plus she often

made posts, so there were quite a large number of people online. Once

this content was released, many fans immediately got upset. Although

a few of them chose to forgive her, most of them did not understand.

Some people also speculated about who did she steal the design

drawing from?

Camille was mentioned. Of course, with no response or

acknowledgment, it was just a guess.

The authority of the architectural design competition immediately

replied and forwarded Irene’s post, hoping that she would correct her

mistake. It meant that it was confirmed.

Irene put on sunglasses and a hat and said to her assistant, "Off to the

airport, back to Hance City."

The assistant nodded and told the driver to get the car.

The assistant whispered, “Irene if you're doing this, the company will

take action on you. We can talk to Camille directly."

“It's not my choice at all.” Irene sneered.

From the moment Molly found her, she had no choice. After all, she

couldn't compete with Molly. Although she was a friend, Molly was a

member of the Walker family, the rich people of Flento City. She was

only a designer, no matter how talented she was.

Molly's father had just called her personally and told her to withdraw

from the competition immediately and apologize in public. He also told

her that she could either apologize or completely quit the industry. It

was her choice.

Irene didn't have the right to say no. So, in the end, she had to follow

Luke's request to write an apology, as to why Camille's name was not

public, she couldn't understand.

Sienna couldn't figure it out, too.

Sienna was confused and asked, "shouldn't you mention the name in

the apology at this time?"

“I don't want to make a big deal out of it, especially at this time. There

are two more rounds to go. If people found out that I was the one who

was plagiarised, will the others think that I was bullying Irene? It

changes the whole point of the contest, and Simpson Group will be

questioned about it. It's the best like this."

As for the public apology, it didn't matter if her name was on it or not.

What mattered was that she showed Irene and Molly that she was not a

pushover.

Irene returned to Flento City, and Molly was given a hard time by Luke,

who eventually told her to return to Flento City immediately or he would

cancel all her cards and ban all her connections with the Walker family.

Molly was not willing to leave but she could only obey. She hated

Camille so much that she swore she would make Camille lose in the

next round.

Molly left on the same day, and Preston called Camille to apologize in

person. Camille simply responded, “this has nothing to do with you. You

don't need to apologize for her.”

Preston was worried and asked, "Cami, do you blame me?"

"Why?"

Camille responded in a low voice.

Preston said more apologetic things until Sienna interrupted the

conversation.

Sienna asked Camille, "what did you do to get Molly's father to listen to

you?"

Camille smiled. "Guess!"

Sienna rolled her eyes. This person was becoming more and more like

Ayan. After living together for a long time, they become more and more

similar.

After the preliminary round was over, the second round didn't begin for

another twenty days or so. In the meantime, Camille had to work on the

Simpson Group project in addition to preparing her work.

Camille was pregnant for more than four months. To those who didn't

know she was pregnant, it was hard to tell. But to those who did, it was

very obvious that she was pregnant.

To ease her workload, Sienna volunteered to revise Camille's artwork

and guide Yessica and her team on their progress.

This allowed Camille to focus on Simpson Group's project for the time

being.

She went to the construction site in the morning to meet with Mr. Moss,

hand over the designs, and check the materials. In the afternoon, she

went to Simpson Group to show Ayan the designs.

She hadn't been here in a few days. Kian was surprised to see her, but

he greeted her and took her to the office.

When Camille knocked at the door, she thought Ayan was alone. She

said with a smile, "Mr. Simpson, are you busy? I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she caught sight of someone else

in the office.

It was Sophia.

She was sitting in Ayan's desk chair, and Ayan was leaning on his desk

with his hands and seemed to be talking. They both had smiles on their

faces and seemed to be having a good time.

Ayan heard her voice and immediately looked around, then

straightened up and walked towards her. Camille calmly pulled back

her gaze and said, "I'm sorry, am I interrupting?"

Ayan walked up to her, staring at her for a moment with his dark eyes.

“No, I was talking with Sophia about the project. Why did you come

here at this hour?"

She kept calm. "Is it convenient to show you the design drawing? If

you're not free, I can come back later.”

"Any time is convenient for you to come over. *

He watched her expression for any change.

Camille pretended not to notice this, but followed him to the sofa and

sat down.

Sophia also got up from her chair. She smiled and said, "Camille, your

improvisations were great. Congratulations on the competition.”

“Thanks, but there's still a lot to improve.” Camille smiled generously

and responded.

They looked at each other in the eye and Sophia said, "Ayan, why don't

you and Camille talk while I go to take some coffee?"

"Well, if you don't know your way around, ask Kian to find someone to

accompany you."

"Okay. "

Sophia waved to Camille. "Camille, I'll leave first and see you next time.

Bye."

"Ok, take care, bye!"

Sophia and Camille were done exchanging pleasantries until Sophia

left. Camille’s face turned expressionless again.

She looked at Ayan. "Can you have a look at the blueprints if there is

anything wrong? If it's all right, I'll turn it over to Mr. Moss."

"Are you coming here just to show me the blueprints?"

He squinted and stared straight at her without blinking. "Or what else

could it be? I came straight from the construction site. Ask Mr. Moss if

you don't believe me."

"Oh, I was just hoping that you missed me. Why did you directly and

mercilessly tell me the truth?"

Camille laughed. "I thought you liked the truth.”

He frowned and watched her eyes become darker. Before she was

ready, he pressed down on her.

Camille could clearly feel his body on top of her and his lips touching

hers.

She was pinned down on the couch and had no chance to escape.

All his movements went so smoothly as if he had practiced or imagined

them a thousand times in his mind.
