Chapter 168

A few days later, while Bridget was busy scheming against Christine, Sylvia quietly completed her own design project.

Concerned about potential hiccups, she decided to deliver it in person to Bailey's company.

As Bailey caressed the jewelry with satisfaction, she raised an eyebrow at Sylvia. "Aren't you curious why I chose your design too?" Sylvia knew her place and decided it was better not to ask.

She replied with a light smile, "As long as you're happy."

Leaning back in her chair with a meaningful look, Bailey teased, "Looks like someone's going to pay through the nose."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Sylvia asked, genuinely puzzled.

But before she could get an answer, Bailey abruptly changed the subject, "How did you get here?"

"No, that's not necessary. I..."

Before Sylvia could decline further, Bailey shouted towards her office.

"Are you done yet? She's leaving if you don't hurry."
