?Chapter 351:
Selina promptly sent Katelyn her exact location, which was conveniently close to their hotel.
During their drive, Katelyn reflected on the two demands Selina hadid out. The first seemed achievable—Katelyn was to design a jewelry collection that would earn Selina’s approval within three days.
However, the real challengey in the second demand. Katelyn had just looked up Poulos Castle again.
For years, rumors of an immense treasure hidden beneath the castle had spread. From billionaires to notorious underworld figures, many had attempted to seize thend for their own purposes. Despite their efforts, no one had seeded in iming the castle. Clearly, if the old earl hadn’t set up defenses, it would have changed hands long ago.
This realization made Katelyn nce over at Vincent.
Vincent’s ambitions went beyond merely presenting the Adams Group’s jewelry at the international expo; he aimed to make their designs the centerpiece of the event’s finale. This could be their chance to strike a deal with Selina.
Shaking off her distractions, Katelyn followed Vincent into a sprawling vi estate.
This was where Selina lived.
Today, Selina wasn’t wearing her usual high stilettos, but her makeup was wless. Holding a wine ss in hand, she appeared fully prepared for their meeting. “Mr. Adams, Miss Bailey,” she greeted them with a warmth that surpassed the previous day.
Vincent acknowledged her with a slight nod.
Selina gestured to a servant, who promptly brought drinks for their guests.

Katelyn settled onto a couch, taking in the vi’s tasteful blend of modern and ssic designs. Every detail spoke of the owner’s refined taste, particrly the bold use of contrasting colors. These choices could have easily shed, but here they were harmoniously executed, reflecting a keen sense of aesthetics. Katelyn shifted her attention back to Selina and asked with curiosity, “Did you design all of this yourself?”
Selina gave a modest smile and confirmed with a nod, “This house reflects my personal efforts, every corner of it.”
“I had no idea you were as skilled in interior design as you are in jewelry design,” Katelyn remarked.
A designer’s key attribute is their aesthetic sense. Despite their different styles, all design fields share amon fundamental quality. The vi Katelyn lived in was entirely her own work as well.
Selina put her ss down and offered a smile. “Thank you for the kind words, Miss Bailey. However, it’s time to discuss the main topic.”
She made thisment while gazing directly at Vincent. The moment she walked into the restaurantst night, she had immediately noticed him. Despite choosing a seat in the corner, it was impossible to ignore Vincent’s strikingly attractive face and hismanding aura.
She had recognized his exceptional presence at that moment but hadn’t expected him to be the sole heir to a leading global corporation.
“How long will you need to secure the castle?” Selina asked. “We can agree verbally now. As soon as you hand over the castle, I’ll sign with you, ensuring the overseas market remains essible to you as long as I hold my position.”
Vincent looked at Selina thoughtfully. His tone was cold, revealing no emotion.<fna00f> Checktest chapters at f?ndnovel</fna00f>
“Miss Hathaway, you could be more than just a designer—perhaps a shrewd businesswoman. I have no doubts you’d thrive as a ruthless yet sessful trader.”
Selina’s expression grew stern as she focused on Vincent. “What exactly are you implying? I’m here to negotiate a partnership with you.”
Vincent’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Are you seriously offering ess to the overseas market in exchange for ownership of Poulos Castle? Isn’t that underestimating what I bring to the table?”
Selina tossed her hair back, her demeanor unfazed. “Consider it either a trade or a challenge. If you can’t manage this minor task, how can I depend on you for robust and consistent support?”
A dangerous light flickered in Vincent’s eyes.
