Yves and Gia abandoned their formerly imperious attitude toward Xylia.
They had been forced to keep a low profile and act humbly.

Xylia noticed that their clothing had lost its former mour, and the fabric had been reced with material costing only a few hundred bucks.
‘Has something happened to Schultz Group?‘ she wondered.
Xylia was lost in thought, yet she did not show even the slightest unnecessary emotion to the two people before her.
“Macy, do not let these two enter. If they attempt to force their way in, call the police.”
Macy was the receptionist.
Receiving an order from the boss, Macy hurriedly stepped forward to block in front of Yves and Gia.
“Would both of you please leave? Otherwise, I’ll call the police.”
With her adorable appearance andck of aggression, Macy was not taken seriously at all by Yves and Gia.
“How can you expel your customers?”
“Are you customers? You look like troublemakers.”
Macy appeared well–behaved, but she was very decisive in her actions.
She took out her mobile phone and pretended to make a call.
“Hello, is this the police? I want to report…”
Yves and Gia, seeing the situation unfold, chose not to escte the matter and left the house, grumbling as they left.
Xylia was in the upstairs office, watching as Yves and Gia left in a dejected manner.
Her gaze was cold.
Josie sat on the sofa, drinking tea, and said to Xylia, “The stock price of Schultz Group has plummeted, and thepany is on the verge of filing for bankruptcy.”
Xylia said, “But why would theye to me? Moreover, judging by their demeanor, they seem to believe I am able to help them.”
After she left Jupiton, her whereabouts became unknown to everyone except Connor and Tessa, whom she had encountered earlier.

Tessa Schultz.

Xylia let out a coldugh. She knew who had leaked the information.

Josie was holding a tablet, sketching design drafts on it. She put a half–eaten lollipop into her mouth and spoke to Xylia nonchntly.
“You may no longer be following affairs in Jupiton, but a client from Jupiton told me a few days ago that the heir of the Ford family is getting married, and the partner is the daughter of the Schultz family.
“But I find it rather perplexing. Connor and Tessa are about to get married, and Schultz Group is on the verge of bankruptcy. Instead of seeking assistance from their own daughter and son–inw, why would they travel all the way to Norhill to ask for your help?”
As Josie spoke, she found it difficult to understand. She set down her paintbrush and turned to look at Xylia.
“Do they know that you are the daughter of the Sadler family?”
Xylia showed no reaction to Connor and Tessa’s uing marriage.
She no longer cared about these two.
However, there was some validity in what Josie said.
‘Why would Yves and Giae to me?‘ she wondered.
Xylia shook her head and said, “I don’t know. But even if they know, it doesn’t matter. I have had nothing to do with them for a long time.”
Josie nodded.
“I’m d you think this way.”
Josie was no longer able to continue drawing. She beckoned to Xylia.
Xylia walked over to her and sat down in front of her.
Josie asked, “Will another two months of rest be sufficient for your hand?”
Xylia rotated her wrist and nodded slightly.
Josie became interested.
“I’ve asked around. In three months, Norhill will host a fashion designpetition jointly organized by the authorities and Quezada & Co. Apparel Design. If you participate and win, you will be the most outstanding designer in all of Alvend.
“At that time, our studio will be able to achieve substantial growth, and even going public will not pose any issues.”
Xylia took the tablet from Josie and looked at thepetition information for three monthster.

“Excellent!” Josie eximed. “Take this time to recover properly, but do not neglect your design work. You must review every client requirement in the studio and assist the two colleagues outside with their tasks. This will ensure your time is not wasted.”
Xylia gave a slight nod.
“I know.<b>” </b>
Josie truly had the best interests of the studio and Xylia at heart.
Feeling moved, Xylia, without hesitation, decided to treat everyone in the studio to a meal today.
Any location would be fine.
Upon learning that Xylia is the eldest daughter of the Sadler family, Josie did not stand on ceremony and reserved the most luxurious Datonese restaurant in Norhill.
It happened to be the ce where Joshua brought her on the previous two asions.
The studio had a small team, consisting of two owners–Xylia and Josie, along with two designers and a receptionist.
There were five people in total.
When Xylia arrived, the staff greeted her with exceptional warmth.
“Ms. Sadler, your private room is inside. Please follow me.”
When Leroy was a designer for major brands, he was fortunate enough to have dined here and is quite familiar with this ce.
Josie was a neer to Norhill and had never visited before. She found the environment to be rich in traditional charm and was particrly fond of the architecture of Alvend. &&&&&After asking the staff if photography was permitted, she took out her phone to capture images of the attractive architectural features.
For Sheryl and Macy, this was their first visit to such a luxurious ce.
The two girls, being of simr age, engaged in lively conversation all the way.
Xylia and Leroy were chatting.
On the way to the private room, they bumped into Noelle, who came here to eat.
She likely went to the restroom during the meal and was now returning to the private room.
When Noelle saw Xylia, her expression instantly turned cold.

She scoffed inwardly, then was the first to step forward and greet Xylia.
“Ms. Sadler, what a coincidence. Are you here to eat too?”
Xylia saw her and, unexpectedly, smiled.
“Yes, ourpany is holding a dinner gathering.”
“Company?”

Noelle regarded the five pathetic ones, the faint smile at the corner of her lips tinged with a trace of mockery.
“I have heard of your studio. It’s nice to be able to have a meal here. You’re generous.”
Xylia feigned ignorance of both the overt and implicit sarcasm in her remarks.
“We’ll be going now, so we won’t disturb you while you eat, Ms. Coffey.”
With that, Xylia left with her employees.
Noelle watched Xylia’s departing figure, her gaze cold.
They entered the private room.
Josie quietly asked Xylia, “Who is that woman?”
“An unimportant person.”
Josie was unconvinced. “From what I see, she harbors considerable hostility toward you. She does not seem like an insignificant person.”
Xylia did not provide rification to Josie.
She did not like to gossip about others. Besides, she was indeed not acquainted with Noelle.
She shifted the topic and allowed them to order their own food.
Josie was the least reserved, always choosing the most expensive items.
With her taking the lead, the remaining few employees, who were still apprehensive, also became less reserved and felt at ease to order what they liked.
The dishes were served promptly.
Several people were eating. The private room door was knocked twice, then pushed open.
They had assumed it was the waiter arriving, but unexpectedly, Eliza and Noelle appeared at the door.
“Mrs. Garcia?”
Xylia immediately stood up and walked over to stand in front of them.

Eliza smiled at Xylia and said, “I heard from Noelle that you and your friend are dining here, so I came over to greet you.”
Xylia promptly replied, “Mrs. Garcia, you are too kind. I should havee over to greet you. However, I was hosting the staff today and didn’t know that you and Ms. Coffey were having a meal, so I didn’t <i>go </i>over.”
Noelle suddenly interjected, “But I just told you that Mrs. Garcia and I were eating here. Why would you lie?”
