Kyle swallowed nervously and quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll do it. But just so you know, SK Group is your responsibility. If this damages the organization's reputation, I'm not taking the fall for it."
With that, Kyle used his managerial credentials to approve Sadie's request and shared the details of his secondary Instagram account.
Almost immediately, Sadie sent a follow request.
"What should I do next?" Kyle asked, holding up his phone.
Helen took the phone from him and settled onto a nearby couch, crossing her legs.
Having spent five million dollars on the search, Sadie was convinced she had finally found Iris. She was eager to make a strong impression, hoping to secure a place as one of her students.
"Ms. Void, I really admire the unique calligraphy style you've created. Is there any chance I could study under you?"
Unsatisfied with her initial message, Sadie quickly followed up with another.
"If you're willing to take me on as a student, I'm prepared to offer ten million dollars to cover any expenses."
Frustrated by Sadie's insistence, Helen issued a sharp warning. "I'm not taking on any new students. Also, just because something hasn't been discovered yet doesn't mean it will stay hidden forever.
"If you want to keep your actions concealed, you should have avoided them from the start. Consider yourself warned."
With that, Helen proceeded to block Sadie. She then tossed the phone back to Kyle before walking out.
Meanwhile, Sadie was shocked by the message on her screen, her heart racing.
What could Iris possibly mean? Had Iris somehow uncovered her plan to replicate her work for the upcoming calligraphy competition?
While Iris' unique calligraphy style was highly coveted, the fonts created by a VIP member of the Calligraphy Association were also in a league of their own.
If Sadie could track down the owner of this badge, she might be able to acquire some of their calligraphy pieces as a last-minute solution. However, that would require reaching out to Helen for assistance once more.
She knew that wasn't a viable option. After all, Helen was also competing in the finals.
Following the recent National Beauty Contest, almost everyone in the country was drawing comparisons between the two of them.
At this crucial moment, Sadie couldn't afford to show any weakness.
It felt like she was trapped in an endless loop. She let out a weary sigh, realizing she might not find a way out.
