Chapter 250 Do You Want to Take Back What's Yours

After arranging the hospital transfer for George, I followed the ambulance all the way to Wellness Hospital, making sure everything was settled before we finally left.

Now, sitting in a quiet café, Liliana looked noticeably uneasy.

I offered her a reassuring smile. "Relax. No one's here to hurt you."

She didn't lower her guard. "What do you want from me?"

I softened my voice. "The designer who entered the interior design competition under the name Rosalind-that was you, wasn't it?"

Liliana nodded. "Yeah, that was me. I saw that the top three winners would get prize money, and the entry was free, so I thought why not give it a shot? I studied design at university, after all. It's what I'm trained to do."

I was a little surprised. "With your talent, you could be a full-time designer. Why are you working odd jobs just to make ends meet?"

Liliana let out a weary sigh. "My dad got sick right after I graduated. Starting a career in design takes too much time and money. Working pays the bills faster. Besides, I didn't go to a prestigious university. Most design studios wouldn't even consider hiring me."
