Lukas’s eyes darkened, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes. “Dad, why are you saying this?”
Cillian snorted lightly. “On the side of the Morning Light Jewelry Competition, they invited me to be a judge. Today, with nothing to do, I looked through some of the competition drafts. Unexpectedly, I came across the design draft from your company, the one by Reese.”
“You helped her gain fame before, assisted her in the lawsuit, and even brought her to your company. I thought she was a talented person, but it turns out she’s just a mediocre imposter. Look at the designs she drew. Honestly, with this level, she won’t even pass the first round. Your judgment of people still needs improvement.”
Lukas’s eyebrows furrowed deeply. He had seen most of Reese’s design drafts. She was not someone who did things half–heartedly; each of her designs was full of creativity.
But considering his father’s status and position, he wouldn’t randomly accuse an unknown designer.
What could have gone wrong?
Numerous thoughts raced through Lukas’s mind.
He said, “Dad, could you take a picture of Reese’s design draft and send it to me for a look?”
Cillian’s tone was not very pleasant, “Why? Do you think I, your dad, would falsely accuse her?”
Lukas sighed, “No, I just want to take a look.”
“Since you’re so insistent, I will let you see it clearly,” Cillian’s tone turned a bit sharp.
Lukas helplessly sighed, “Dad, thank you.”
Cillian snorted, “You don’t have to thank me. It would be better if you come home more often. Your brother will also be back in the country after a while. Come home, so your mom won’t keep complaining about your lack of filial piety to her.”
Thinking of his mother, Lukas’s expression softened a bit, “All right, I’ll come home when I have time.”
After ending the call, it didn’t take long for Cillian to send the pictures.
Lukas looked at the design draft on his phone, his brow furrowing slightly. If this design draft was indeed drawn by Reese, then her skills were uncharacteristically unstable.
However, he had seen most of the designs Reese produced over the past two years, and none of them

exhibited such a drop in skill level.
Alternatively, perhaps Reese had run out of talent and was now using this subpar design to pass off as her own work.
Lukas pondered for a long time, realizing that he was just speculating here. He might as well go and ask Reese directly.
After freshening up, Lukas went to knock on Reese’s door, only to find that her room was empty.
As he came downstairs, he immediately spotted Reese sitting on the sofa, playing happily with a little white kitten.
Lukas’s eyes flashed, wondering how she could be so carefree after what happened last night.
Was she really so indifferent to it, or was she pretending not to care?
Lukas found himself increasingly curious about Reese.
As he approached the sofa, before he could speak, he saw the little white kitten suddenly dart away from in front of Reese and scuttle to the floor.
Lukas’s handsome face contorted. Was he that scary?
That little cat was really fickle even when he even brought it home.
Reese turned around and saw Lukas. “Oh, Mr. Strakovski, you’re awake.” She said.
Hearing this, Lukas’s mood inexplicably turned sour, and he frowned, “What do you mean? Do you think I woke up too late?”
Reese looked innocent, “Mr. Strakovski, how could you think that? I was just asking casually.” She said.
Lukas’s expression didn’t soften, “I don’t think you were asking casually. Besides, the reason I woke up so late was all because of you.” He said.
Reese was taken aback, instantly recalling what happened last night. Her face turned red, and she instinctively lowered her head, saying in a muffled voice, “About last night, thank you, Mr. Strakovski. And, I apologize for affecting you.”
At that time, although she was somewhat dazed; she hadn’t forgotten the kiss with Lukas in the car.
Thinking back to that scene, her whole face was flushed.
Seeing her blushing, Lukas felt as if he intentionally brought up last night’s incident to make her
embarrassed.

Ne for even more annoyed. “Never mind, let’s not talk about that. First, take a look at this design draft.”
Reese took Lukas’s phone and immediately saw the design draft in the photo.
The blush on her face had not completely disappeared, and she curiously looked at Lukas. “Mr. Strakovski, what does this design draft have to do with me? Do you want me to help you modify it?” She
Lukas, who was already irritated, suddenly realized that something was wrong upon hearing Reese’s words
He stared at Reese intently. “You don’t recognize this design draft?” He asked.
Reese looked puzzled. “Should I?” She asked back.
In Lukas’s mind, he quickly made a judgment. It was evident that someone had tampered with Reese’s design draft.
He had wondered how Reese could submit a design with such a level of quality for the competition.
Now it became clear that it had been swapped with an inferior one, exchanging good for bad.
He furrowed his brow, feeling exasperated that it was always this woman who encountered such
troubles
Seeing Lukas’s calm gaze and the mixed emotions in his expression, Reese sensed that he had a reason for showing her this design draft and couldn’t ignore it.
Unable to hold back, she asked, “Mr. Strakovski, what happened to this design draft?”
Lukas didn’t beat around the bush either. He looked up at Reese and said, “This is the design draft you submitted for the Morning Light Jewelry Competition.”
Reese’s initial curiosity instantly turned to shock, “How could that be?”
What kind of design draft did she submit? How could she not know?
However, she quickly realized one thing. If Lukas could say that, even bringing the design draft in front of her, then it meant that her design draft had already been swapped with something else.
