Chapter 287
"No need Xavier believed that Sarali was a very clever woman, both in business and privately.
She always avoided leaving any evidence, which he had leamed well from their interactions in the business
world. He understood her, and she understood him just is well.
Sarah was in a temble mood after several days of being watched 24/7.
Lawrence had asked Lily to cout for a private photo session during the third round of the competition, and
now Sarah owed him a favor.
He had been messaging Sarah for several days, asking how she was and trying to find opportunities to invite her
for a meal, saying he had something to ask of her. But at this point, she couldn't afford to meet with him.

He thought she was abandoning him and that she was about to tum on him.
Lawrence called again at 8:00p.m. "Ms. Lynde, when you askedfor help, you didn't make it this hard to
communicate!"
"I've been busy with work recently, and with the year-end approaching, there are more company matters to
handle. | haven't been able to focus on the Avelon Designs Competition. It's not that I'm deliberately avoiding
you," Sarah said honestly. "If you need something, just say it over the phone."
He, however, was convinced that she was avoiding him.
But she refused to admit it, and no matter how much he complained, it wouldn't change anything. As the vice
president of Nova Group, he couldn't afford to clash with her openly.
"lI want you to helpget Nova Group to sponsor an additional five million."
Sarah immediately refused without thinking. "I can't help with that. I'm just the vice president of the company."
He knew she didn't have that much power, but he believed that if she wanted to, it wouldn't be impossible.
After all, she and Xavier were inseparable, and their relationship wasn't ordinary. Surely it was just a matter of
whispering a word in his ear?
"Ms. Lynde, | have a secret about Lily. Do you want to know?"
Sarah was stunned. Her interactions with Lily were only related to the Avelon Designs Competition. Now that Lily
had been eliminated, what secret could Lawrence possibly know about her? She suspected that he was trying to
deceive her.
Lawrence was sharp and quickly figured out what she was thinking. "You must losow that Gloria has a trump
card, right?"
"I know," she responded quickly, but she couldn't see how this had anything to do with Lily.

"This trump card not only allows her to eliminate anyone at will but also to promote a potential contestant
directly into the international competition unconditionally." He hinted.
Sarah's heart skipped a beat. "I thought the card's purpose was just to prevent someone from being eliminated
and help them advance?"
How had it suddenly changed to directly entering the international competition? Furthermore, this couldn't
possibly be related to Lily! Under her provocation, Gloria clearly disliked Lily.
"That's just the public explanation. The power Avelon Designs gave Gloria is much greater." Lawrence didn't beat
around the bush. "If you can secure five million In sponsorship, I'll figure out how to stop this." Sarah had
investigated Gloria before. Gloria only cared about strength and didn't tolerate any behind-the-scenes
maneuvering
Why had she eliminated Ully and potentially promoted her to the international competition?
Sarah couldn't help but think of Terence. Perhaps... he had noticed something and was trying to keep it under
wraps.
