Trepidation trapped Maya as soon as she heard the news. Something was going on without her


    knowledge.


    She nced at ke. “Why did Dominic and the others suddenly want to build an exhibition hall for the


    Design School? It’ll cost an arm and a leg, won’t it?”


    “I heard that the proposed investment is one million dors.”


    “One million dors? That’s a huge sum of money!” Her fingers clutched onto the hat tightly. “Do you


    know the reason behind this?”


    “No, not for now. But I think it has something to do with the Fleur International Design Competition. Mr.


    Dominic’s constructionpany puts a lot of importance on design. They’ve just established a new


    subsidiary in Bern City. I bet this is a n for a business expansion. They’re looking out for talented


    designers.”


    Maya gave it a thought. ke’s analysis made sense.


    It hadn’t been long since Dominic’s subsidiarypany was established in Bern City. Besides, he had


    also built exhibition halls in universities back in Nord City.


    Annoyed, she wore the hat only to frown because of the stinging pain from her scalp. “Damn it, Mia


    Bowen! I’m going to avenge myself tenfold! Find Dana at all costs!”


    If she managed to find Dana, she’d be able to trick Dominic and the others to buy herself some time.

    “Don’t worry, Ms. Lane. I’ve asked a staff member from the luxury store to message her that she won a


    prize. A materialistic person like her won’t be able to turn down the offer. Once she shows herself in the


    mall, we’ll be able to catch her.”


    Maya smiled. “Not bad. Dana will definitely show up. Help me contact that store manager. I want that


    dress from thetest collection and that bag made of rare leather. When can they be delivered? I want


    to wear them to the graduation party.”


    He paused momentarily. “Someone bought the dress yesterday, but the bag is still there.”


    “Who bought it?”


    “A VIP, I heard.”


    What a pity.


    Maya thought that it would’ve been great if she was a VIP member. She heard that Eva owned a VIP


    membership card, but forgot to borrow the card from her. Well, Eva never liked her anyway.


    A dark glint clouded Maya’s eyes as she thought, “I’m the daughter of the Lane family. As a mere


    outsider, how dare Eva not pay me the respect I deserve! Just what is she feeling superior about?”


    At the end of the day, an upset Maya ordered, “Buy the bag then.”


    “Ms. Lane, your credit limit is reduced to ten thousand dors after you fought with Mr. Dominic on the


    day you returned to the country. That bag costs 60 thousand dors.”


    “I have cash.”


    “The cash you have is spent on Ms. Barrett’s credit card. For your information, she uses itvishly.”


    Maya frowned. She didn’t expect herself tock money.


    ke suggested, “How about signing the agreement offered by Mr. Dominic? It offers many properties,


    shares, and cash.”


    “If I sign it, I’ll have nothing to do with the Lanes anymore. Only a fool would sign that agreement.”


    No matter how angry she was, she knew how reality was. “Freeze Shelly’s credit card. That useless


    trash isn’t helping. She doesn’t deserve to spend my money.”


    “Alright.”


    “And find out who bought that dress. Look for an imitation of that bag. Pick something that appears


    authentic. No one at the graduation evening party can afford to buy branded limited editions. Even if


    the bag is fake, no one will notice.”


    He went along with it. “You’re right. You’re Ms. Lane. No one will suspect that you use dupes.”


    She snorted. “Mia should be attending that party. It’s time I pick on her shorings. Since Dominic


    and the others will be there as well, I’ll have him teach her a lesson!”


    The sheer imagination of the scene gave her an adrenaline rush. (2)


    She couldn’t wait for the weekend toe.
