After that, Emily Quest would surprise everyone with her capabilities. Gradually, she would climb the corporate ladder with her powers and dominate everyone.
In the end, she would successfully replace Xyla Quest as the heir!
When Emily thought of this, she couldn’t help but feel proud of having everything planned out.
“President Quest… We want to recast our vote…”
“Recast the votes…”
Everyone was chanting loudly along as they secretly mocked Xyla.
Seemingly very upset, Jeremy Quest turned to look at Xyla…
When he caught her smiling, he felt even worse.
Just what was going on with his eldest daughter? Wasn’t she embarrassed with herself?
She was the heir he chose. How could she do something embarrassing like this in the company?
Sensing Jeremy’s gaze, Xyla smiled even wider. Slowly, she reached for Jeremy’s microphone and looked at the crowd off-stage. “Please be quiet for a moment.”
The noisy crowd instantly fell silent.
“Emily was right. This blueprint design… Indeed, its foundation was drawn when Lily first started out. I modified the parts that I think weren’t good enough. I enhanced it… That’s how I arrived at this current design,” Xyla explained.
Her words were like a heavy rock thrown into a serene pool of water.
Suddenly, the crowd went crazy again.
Jeremy seemed even more upset.
Meanwhile, Emily and May Conner were ecstatic on the inside. The two of them felt certain Xyla was a sitting duck.
Emily and May froze in place…
“Xyla… What do you mean? Are you saying that you are Lily?” Jeremy’s face seemed to be less tense now.
He couldn’t quite believe what he had just heard.
“It’s true. I wanted to keep a low-profile, but Emily wouldn’t allow me to,” Xyla said and chuckled.
“How is this possible? Lily is such a talented designer. She must have studied architectural design for many years. Didn’t you say that you only studied it for half a year?” Jeremy asked.
Xyla didn’t say anything. Instead, she silently opened her phone and projected her qualification certificate as an architectural designer onto the large screen.
Lily’s name was clearly visible on the certificate on the large screen…
Below that name, there was another name, Xyla Quest!
