Chapter 227 The Tables Turn
Now he stood up straight to explain for Lucas. “This logo isn’t used in our industry.
“But I clearly…” He was sure he hadn’t misseen it.
“I made all this tableware myself. I printed that logo on them. Back then, you said you needed a logo, so I designed one. But you didn’t even look at the design and just threw it on the floor.” Sherry’s voice was cold. “I spent months on that design. I didn’t want it to go to waste, so I printed it on our tableware.”
At that time, Gilbert had been obsessing over getting a logo. He’d lost his temper constantly- nothing anyone designed satisfied him.
He’d even stayed up late for two nights in a row, picking logos, but he’d hated them all. He hadn’t slept well at all.
So Sherry had just wanted to help him out. She’d never expected him to toss her design aside without a glance. “I’m already swamped. Don’t bother me with this garbage. Are you trying to add to my
workload on purpose?”
Later, Sherry had seen that logo-the one she’d thought mattered most to him-at Splendor Group. It had been nothing but a slap in the face.
She didn’t know how Lucas had found out about the logo. He’d even offered to buy it and used that money as part of her investment in SC. She’d thought her design wasn’t worth that much money.
“Sherry isn’t just a shareholder of SC-she holds the most shares,” Lucas said coldly. “So… who’s really out of their mind?”
He didn’t forget to take a dig at Julia.
Sherry was shocked. At first, she hadn’t held the most shares.
Lucas éxplained softly, “All the money you sent me-I put it all into your shares. I told you, I value your talent. That logo is worth every penny. Unlike some people, I don’t sacrifice the big picture for petty stuff.”
“But that money was a small thank-you… after all, you taught me so much…”
The two praised each other openly, as if no one else was in the room.
The logo at Splendor Group was nothing compared to Sherry’s.

Before Julia had known the truth, she’d even praised this logo for being beautiful.
That was because she’d heard rumors that Lucas was behind SC. Plus, she’d really liked the design itself.
She’d praised it so much-only to find out Sherry had designed it. In that moment, her perfect smile cracked. For the first time since she’d arrived, she was lost for words. She just stood there, staring blankly, lost in thought.
Lucas walked over to the manager. “You’re fired.”
“No, please! I didn’t know! I really didn’t know Ms. Campbell was the boss! I just thought Ms. Mack would be a big star someday, and I thought…”
He’d been trying to suck up to her in advance-hoping she’d promote SC for free someday.” That was his excuse, anyway.
Deep down, he’d been tempted by Julia’s beauty. He’d wanted to use this chance to get to know her better.
He’d only humiliated Sherry to please Julia-but he couldn’t say that out loud.
“You thought what? Do you think I don’t know your little games?” Lucas sneered. “If you’re so eager to be Julia’s lackey, I’ll give you the chance. I’m sure she’ll give you a good job.”
At that, the manager’s eyes lit up. Right! He’d been fired because of Julia. She’d definitely give him another job to make up for it.
He looked at Julia with ho
in his in his eyes.
Before Julia could speak, Lucas added, “Or… is Ms. Mack unwilling to help you? He lost his job for you. Are you saying you don’t appreciate it? That you don’t think he got fired because of you?”
Julia had no choice but to take this trouble.
Giving him a desk job was easy enough.
