Chapter 379


    [Soul. What I want is for you to put your heart and soul into the design. This and the design must reflect


    Holden Group’smitment to providing value to the public. I didn’t spend all that money to hire you


    just for your professional skills but also for the care you put into designing Crescent Building. Don’t try


    to fool me with this hastily rushed design that looks wless but has no soul. Moon, I can see that


    you’re quite proficient in your designing skills, but you’re not taking this project seriously.]


    Corinne was stunned, though she agreed with what Jeremy wrote. Indeed, she did not put her heart


    and soul into the design she sent him. Instead, she relied on her refined technical skills toe up with


    another soulless design.


    ‘Jeremy is right. I need to put my heart and soul into this, just like how I did with Crescent Building.


    Besides, it’s reasonable for him to demand that Ie up with a better design since he’s paying a


    hundred fifty million dors,’ thought Corinne.


    Thus, she replied, [Okay, I understand. Thank you for pointing this out. Please allow me some time to


    come up with a new design. You have my assurance that you’ll be satisfied with the next design.]


    No replies came from Jeremy after this.

    Sitting in front of theputer, Corinne rested her chin on her hand and started brainstorming some


    ideas. The previous draft waspletely useless to her since she would need to start all over again. ‘I


    need toe up with a new design concept for Holden Group’s new building…’


    The next morning, Jeremy specifically asked Bowen not to


    wake up the slumbering Corinne. He then took his breakfast and went to work.


    At that moment, Corinne had not woken up, and unbeknown to her, Sherlyn and her parents had


    already arrived outside her house.


    After Sherlyn got out of the car, she pointed to the mansion and resentfully said, “Mom, Dad, this is the


    ce! I saw Corinne walking into the house like she owned the cest time.”


    Marvin and Lilliana were gobsmacked by just how huge the mansion was. They knew it would take


    more than money alone to be able to own such a huge mansion in the downtown area. Only powerful


    and prominent families like the Holdens. could get a permit to build a mansion right in the middle of the


    city.


    “Marvin, look at how grand this mansion is! Our daughter would’ve been living there as Jeremy’s wife if


    it wasn’t for Corinne. We could drop by anytime we want to visit her instead of standing outside like


    this,” said Lilliana bitterly.


    Marvin frowned unhappily. He felt as though he had just lost an opportunity to pocket 15000000 dors,


    and it was all Corinne’s fault. Therefore, he was determined to get to the bottom of everything.


    “Sherlyn, go ring the doorbell.”


    Sherlyn nodded and jabbed at the doorbell repeatedly, angrily. However, the gate did not open for


    them. Instead, an old man’s face appeared on the monitor.


    “May I know who you are looking for?” asked the old man kindly.


    “We’re looking for Corinne. Is she in?” Sherlyn answered.


    Bowen was a little surprised by the discovery, and he immediately grew guarded. “Ah, you’re looking


    for Ma’am. What business do you have with you?”


    Sherlyn could have erupted with fury there and then when she heard Bowen addressing Corinne as


    ‘Ma’am’. She gritted her teeth and said, “Mom, Dad, you both heard how he addressed Corinne as


    ‘ma’am’! This just proves that everything Anya told us yesterday is true! Gah! I’m so angry I could


    strangle someone right now.”


    Being more experienced than Sherlyn, Lilliana calmly pushed aside the overly-emotional Sherlyn and


    said to Bowen, “Hello. We, Corinne’s father, mother, and sister, thought it’d be nice to drop in to visit


    her for a while. If she’s in, would you be so kind as to open the gate for us?”
