Chapter 24
Yvie shook her head in fear at once. She spoke in a fluster, “No, no, I didn‘t mean to say that!”
Jocelyn laughed and said, “I was just teasing you. You actually took it seriously. You can just call me Joc
elyn. Since you’re my assistant, make sure to work hard under me and fight for the opportunity to
become an assistant designer as soon as
possible!” Yvie nodded repeatedly in an anxious manner and said, “I‘ll definitely work hard!” Although the
title of designer assistant and assistant designer sounded similar, the work scopes were completely
different. Designer assistants could only help out in miscellaneous chores whereas assistant
designers could produce their own design drafts. They were eligible to participate in all sorts of
design competitions as well. Jocelyn gave her a once over and said, “Also, dress more formally when
you come to work tomorrow!” Yvie was dazed. She nodded at once. The top floor of Prosperity Jewelry.
As soon as Skyler walked out of the elevator, Yale rushed over and said, “President Moore, the
turnaround of the plagiarism incident has been trending online since yesterday. Century Jewelry
Competition has achieved a new level of popularity as well. More than a dozen of advertisers have been
contacting me from yesterday afternoon to today morning. They want their advertisements to be
played during the competition. Take a look…”
Skyler walked toward his office and said, “Select three renowned advertisers and carry out a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcollaboration with them. The more investments, the better. However, having too many advertisements
would bring about a decline in the quality of our competition!”
Yale immediately nodded and said, “Also, everyone’s attention is fixed on the
identical design draft that has been submitted as an entry for both Starlight
Jewelry Competition and Century Jewelry Competition. Although Miss.Jocelyn designed this draft and sh
e has sued Lily White for plagiarism, the lawsuit is yet to commence. Regardless of how
much evidence Miss Jocelyn has, a controversial piece of work as such cannot be submitted as stated in
the rules of our competition! How should we handle this incident?”
Skyler paused in his steps and said, “You mean that Century Jewelry Competition‘s popularity cannot be
maintained without this design draft, right?”
Yale nodded at once. “Yes, that‘s why I wanted to ask for your opinion on it.”
After remaining silent for a while, Skyler placed his hand on the handle of his office door and cast a
sideways glance at
Yale. “As you said, although the lawsuit hasn‘t commenced , Jocelyn White already has plenty of evidenc
e. What are you afraid of?”
“I…” Yale looked at Skyler. Suddenly, he noticed the wound on his chin.
After that, he started stuttering, “I……. I wanted to say that the competitions made it a rule
that such work will not be eligible to be submitted as an entry!” Skyler frowned and looked at him unhappi
ly. “Why are you stuttering?” Yale lowered his head
speechlessly. “It‘s nothing!” The more he acted that way, the more suspicious Skyler
found him. “What in the world is going on?” Yale pursed his lips awkwardly and pointed at his
own chin. “Your…chin is injured!” The location of his wound was
extremely fishy. Yale could not help but overthink However, Skyler did not conceal the
wound at all. His frank demeanor shocked Yale! Skyler immediately recalled
everything that had happened in the morning after hearing what he said. A terrible and unpleasant
expression formed on his face. “I cut myself while shaving. What kind of expression is that?” Yale shook
his head at once. “You don’t need to explain yourself. I wasn’t overthinking!” Skyler’s expression
darkened as he said, “I don‘t care about whether you were overthinking
or not: What‘s in that head of yours?!” Yale curled up upon himself
when Skyler lashed out in rage. He did not dare to say anything. Skyler was furious when
he thought about the wound on his chin. He spoke up in a heavy tone. “The rules are fixed, but we’re
human beings with flexible minds. Since we can confirm that Jocelyn
didn‘t plagiarize Lily‘s work, why can‘t we use her work? Let them know that this was my decision. An
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmexception can be made for Jocelyn so that she can participate in this competition. Meanwhile, remove
Lily White from the competition for plagiarism!” Yale nodded at once. “I‘ll do it right now!” He tried to
escape after speaking. However, Skyler called after him. “Stand right there!” Yale immediately turned
around. He looked at him cautiously and exclaimed, “President Moore! Do you have any other orders?”
There was an unnatural expression on Skyler’s dark face as he asked, “Do you have a plaster?”
If he knew, he would have accepted the plaster that Jocelyn had handed to him. That way, Yale would
not have noticed his wound.
Yale shook his head.

Skyler felt slightly impatient. “Buy a box of plasters back for me!” Yale immediately nodded. He then
headed off to buy them. After a while, Yale came back with a box of plasters. Skyler did
not think that he would garner even more attention than before by sticking a plaster on his chin.
Skyler had a plaster on his chin during the meeting in the afternoon. Everyone could not resist stealing
glances at his chin.
Skyler got annoyed by all the glances. Every time someone‘s gaze flitted across him furtively, he felt the u
