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.

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.
