After leaving the café, Whitney was already frightened and on edge.
As she walked down the street, she kept feeling that everyone knew what a deplorable person she
was. There was no sight of the haughty attitude she usually had.
She drove to the subsidiary of Larson Corporation in Norham.
Everyone in the company was reverent and respectful when they saw Whitney, for fear that one would
be in trouble if they were not careful.
It was just that everyone seemed to have realized that Whitney was acting slightly different today.
She was acting less aggressive than she had been yesterday.
Everyone was at a loss for words as well.
Whitney rushed directly into the office, but she was not in the mood to get on with her work.
She didn’t want to go home, afraid that her thoughts would run wild.
But when she came to the office, she could only struggle in an unending panic.
She had just arrived in Norham. She didn’t seem to have had any skirmishes with anyone, let alone
making enemies.
Whitney was baffled.
Suddenly, she realized that she seemed to have put Charlie on the spot yesterday and robbed him of
his office.
Did
my immediate display of power bring misfortune to me?’
The more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became of Charlie, who had been rude to her
yesterday. ‘Is he taking revenge on me? If that is the case, should I take he initiative to reconcile with
him?’
With that thought in mind, Whitney got up and walked toward Charlie’s office.
Charlie was working on some documents. When he looked up, Whitney had already valked into his
office.
He was startled and wondered if he wouldn’t be able to avoid Whitney in the long run.

fancy to my office, and I gave it to you. What other complaints do you have?’ he thought.
He didn’t expect that Whitney would become very good-tempered and even apologize for what had
happened yesterday.
“Mr. Lincoln, I realize now that I had offended you yesterday. Please forgive me,” Whitney said.
Charlie was really confused and didn’t know what Whitney was playing at today.
Although he was not married and did not have girlfriends either, he had heard that women could
change their attitudes faster than one could blink their eyes.
“Well, I seem to have finally seen it in action today.
As for Whitney’s apology, he could only reply politely, “You don’t have to worry too much. We are all
colleagues and should help each other.”
Charlie wanted to strangle himself for what he had said. “The CEO has already given me special
privileges. Why couldn’t I act bolder and point out Whitney’s problems. straightforwardly?’
When Whitney heard Charlie’s words, she was grateful and began to flatter Charlie without any care.
“Mr. Lincoln, you are someone who thinks of the big picture. You are still young and have a promising
future.”
Charlie was flattered and answered immediately, “Ms. Larson, you’re flattering me. Let’s work together
to improve the company’s performance in the future so that we can all look on proudly when the
company holds its annual meeting. The key point is that employees can get a monetary gift.”
Both were young, but their conversation was similar to that between old guys like William.
When Whitney returned to her office, the only thing she did was stare at her phone. Originally, she was
already a mobile phone addict. She liked to hold her phone in her hand all day long, browsing videos
and watching various shows.
At that time, she felt that if she had been left without her mobile phone, there would be no joy in life.

it from time to time.
Ivy was sitting in her office in the Levine Group.

Chapter 53
She was a diligent worker who cared a lot about her career.
During working hours, the way she sat near the desk and drew her designs was really attractive.
But today, she seemed a little off.
It was like she had already gotten the exclusive distribution right of LOVE and didn’t have to work so
hard on it anymore.
Everything was expected and under her control, including Whitney’s reaction toward all these.
Ivy thought, ‘It is time to negotiate the terms of the deal with Whitney. Otherwise, that woman would
probably go mad.'”
Ivy took another SIM card from the drawer and set it up before sending a message: [You can proceed
with the next step.]
‘Of course, there is no need for me to get my hands dirty over all these.”
After making arrangements for everything, Ivy picked up a cup of coffee and went to the window
overlooking the prosperous central business district of Norham.
She felt like a queen that had her victory in sight.
Originally, she had been from a prestigious family in Dellmoor, but they had fallen into
ruin.
For so many years, it was because of the care of the Levine family that they could still hold on to
everything without any issue.
She was very jealous and hateful. The Larson family and the Abb ot family were relatives, but the
Larson family didn’t help them when the Ab bot family was down and
out.
After getting the support of the Levine family, she gradually let go of this hatred.
But now, Kimberly was back.
Ivy was afraid that the happiness she had stolen from Kimberly would be like a beautiful fantasy that
could disappear at any given time.
Whitney finally got a message after a long wait.
Whitney soon received her instructions from the other party.
They had set two conditions.
Chapter 53
The first one was that they wanted the preliminary design draft selected for Larson Corporation’s LOVE
exclusive distribution right.
The other was 1 million dollars in cash.
Obviously, the first was Ivy’s actual goal.
The second was probably the remuneration paid to those people.
Ivy was so intelligent and scheming that she used other people’s things to gain favor. She made sure to
reap the full benefit of this deal.
When Whitney saw the request made by the other party, she realized she had been set. up.
She held onto her chin. “Who could it be?’
If it was about LOVE’s exclusive distribution right, it meant this was a competitor of Larson Corporation.
However, so many people wanted to compete for this opportunity.
It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The easier part of the deal was the demand for 1 million dollars.
The point was that Larson Corporation would suffer enormous losses if this design draft got exposed.
‘If someone finds out that I was the person behind it, I will be deemed a villain in the Larson family for
the rest of my life. But if I don’t do it, I will become a laughing stock people will belittle me. Whitney was
worried and thought.
The other party seemed to have the same concern as Whitney. The man called again to threaten her.
The threat was that if they didn’t see Larson Corporation’s design draft in two days, those photos would
be posted online. By then, it would be too late to regret it.
Whitney was about to speak, but the man didn’t give her a chance and hung up the phone directly after
intimidating her.
Whitney was anxious and restless, and finally walked up and down the office, murmuring, “What should
I do? Should I do what he says? What else can I do?”
Suddenly, she thought of Ivy again.
She had always been a self-opinionated person, so she started considering Ivy as her

last hope.
“What did you say? Do you mean to say that the other party has contacted you and asked you to hand
in Larson Corporation’s design draft?”
Ivy’s shocked exclamation and voice conveyed her surprise to the right degree. It was a wonder
Whitney believed ih her so much.
“But you were banished to Norham because of the design draft. Are you sure you still have a chance to
get the design draft?”
Ivy was seriously helping Whitney in analyzing the problem, mainly to understand Whitney’s actual
ability.
Then Ivy began to brainwash Whitney again. “But if you don’t hand it over on time, how will you deal
with your relatives and friends in the future?”
Ivy was using this way to reiterate what was at stake to Whitney and caution her to be careful. Her
overall meaning was although this matter was not easy for Whitney, her life shouldn’t be ruined over
this either.
Finally, Ivy did not forget to disassociate herself from the matter. “Of course, I
understand you because I know that you were set up. But friends and family will only believe what they
see with their eyes.
