Under Pauline’s expectant gaze. Edwina unhurriedly put away he design drafts from the table

Her worth rang out, strong and resolute.

Everyone in the meeting room had their jaws drop. She actually urned down the chief designer position handpicked by

M: Gibson himself.

The crowd was hit with a wave of mixed feelings, unsure whether to envy Edwina or feel sorry for her. ‘Is this just the pride of a true genius! they wondered.

Edwina lifted her head and met Kelvin’s unruffled gave head–on

She couldn’t figure him out at all, so she had no intention of getting any closer to him.

I’m really not fit to be the chief designer. Designing was just a flake for me. Kelvin, don’t put me on a pedestal. I’m better off doing market research,” Edwina said.

Doing Geldwork keeps me far away from you, and that’s exactly how I like it, the thought.

Keiran walked up to Edwina, step by step, right in front of everyone. The air practically crackled with team, and maybe ren a lust of something more

Edwin arched an eyebrow

Helene bit down hard on her lip, desperate to stop them. If they keep going they’re gonna start flirting right in front of everyone, she thought

Thinking fast, she shrieked and dropped to the floor, putting on her best fainting act

The people nearly had no idea what was going on and jumped shock at Helene’s sudden collapse, the room exploded into chaos

“Help“” someone shouted.

“It’s Miss Summons! Quick, get help!” another person yelled.

Helene’s reputation as the gentle, gracious, and understanding one was firmly established among the staff, so plenty of people were genuinely concerned about her.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Edwina made her way out of her ense standoff with Kelvin and headed straight for Helene. Just one glance, and Edwina could tell Helene was faking it. Helene never slips up when it matters most, she thought. Edwina put on an exaggerated look of shock.

“Oh no, her heart’s acting up. She needs emergency treatment at the hospital, like, right now!” she exclaimed.

Seeing how certain Edwina was, no one questioned her. They immediately called 911.

‘911 won’t get here in time. I’ll take her to the hospital myself, Edwina said.

“Kelvin, you know I’ve got some medical training, she added.

Kelvin nodded, the corners of his mouth lifting into an amused, almost playful smile.

Edwina called Madeline and Leander over, and the three of them, with a flurry of hands, practically dragged Helene out of the room.

Peter looked a bit nervous. “Mr. Gibson, she’s the Simmons family’s heiress. Are you really just gonna let Edwina handle her and not worry about it?

“What if something goes wrong with Helene while she’s here at our company…

At the mention of Helene, Kelvin’s face turned cold. He replied. Don’t worry. She’s just pretending.”

“Pretending?” Peter blinked, completely confused.

“Even I could tell how fake that was, Kelvin thought. ‘Edwina knews medicine. There’s no way she didn’t notice. She just wanted an excuse to get away from me.

“Let’s head back, Kelvin said.

Peter glanced over at Kelvin, thinking, ‘He’s been in such a good mood lately. Did something great happen to him, or am I just seeing things?

Helene was freaking out inside as she was carried away, but since she’d already gour this far, she couldn’t just open her eyes now. She just had to go along with whatever Edwina did.

Edwina told Madeline to put Helene in the car, saying she could take it from here and told the other two to leave.

Helene lay completely still in the back seat.

Inside the closed car, Edwina gave a cold chuckle. “Still putting on an act? If you really want to get shocked at the hospital Id

Helene was panicking inside, but after a short pause, she slowly woke up pretending she had no idea what was goin “Edwina, why am I in the car? Weren’t we just having a meeting to the conference room?” she asked, feigning confusion

“Edwina, are you angry with me? I really don’t even know what i wrong.

“I’m sorry I didn’t know those design drafts were yours. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have done it…” Helene added, her voice. trailing off

Edwina sat in the driver’s seat, turned her head with a cool indiference, and shot Helene a look. Just one glance, but it was so intense Helene could feel the pressure in the air.

“Enough, Helene. It’s just us here, so drop the act,” Edwina said.

“Edwina, I swear I’m not acting. What are you even talking about Helene insisted, her voice full of innocent confusion.

Edwina’s patience snapped. In the next second, she leaned over from the front seat, yanked Helene upright by the collar, her movements rough and merciless.

“Helene, you can play your little tricks on me if you want, but from now on, don’t mess with anyone in the Maberly Fashion department,” Edwina said, her voice cold and commanding.

“If you so much as lay a finger on them, I’ll make sure you pay with your life,” she threatened, her words sharp as a knife,

This time, Helene wasn’t pretending.

When Edwina mentioned “life“, her eyes were cold as steel, like knife that had already drawn blood, ready to cut at any

second

Helene was genuinely terrified, as if she’d been dropped into a fewzer.

She quietly hid her trembling hands and whispered. “Edwina…”

Edwina rubbed her temples, thinking. This fragile heiress is such a headache

Just get

out. Whatever you want to do at Gibson Group, I won’t act in your way. It’s none of my business, Edwina said.

Helene stopped short, thinking. Wait, what does she mean? Is she saying she’s not going to compete with me for Kelvin?

“Are you for real?” she asked, her voice trembling.

Edwina arched an eyebrow. “What, dropping the act now? Isn’t that just adorable? So civil between sisters.”

Helene didn’t say a word.

Edwina nodded. “Yeah, I really couldn’t care less about Kelvin. onestly wish you two all the best. Just don’t come bothering me, and we can get along just fine at home.”

This was the most patience Edwina had ever shown Helene.

Helene had spent so long living with Cloria and Darius. If Edwin ever tried to do something to Helena, they probably wouldn’t be able to deal with it for a while.

So Edwina could tolerate Helene being around, as long as she kem out of each other’s business.

Helene stayed silent as she pushed open the car door and stepped out. Still, her nerves settled a little. Edwina really doesn’t seem like she’s bluffing, she thought.
