Chapter 279

Looking back now, whether Suzanne had actually plagiarized the design for Khalil remained an open question.

Suzanne, however, paid no mind to the scrutinizing gazes around her. Instead, her eyes landed directly on Seline as she asked, "As the manager of the design department, you'll be participating too, won't you?"

Seline stiffened at her question.

She owed her position mostly to being Henry's daughter rather than to her design skills. Winning an award was out of the question. Her private sketches often needed retouching just to look presentable.

But hardly anyone knew that. She wondered if Suzanne knew something.

Suppressing her unease, Seline maintained a warm, composed smile. "I won't be competing for a spot. I'll leave it to you all. Do your best."

Her words earned her a wave of admiration for being a generous leader. She was willingly giving up such an important opportunity for them. Those who had previously held reservations about her suddenly felt touched by her selflessness.

Suzanne nodded, her gaze lingering on Seline with a knowing look.
