?Chapter 108:


    Samira’s face burned with embarrassment. “I’m not wrong. Helena is a globally recognized designer. If she chooses to take legal action, the entire designmunity in the could turn against Elena. This could drag Leopardex and even the Harper Group into turmoil…”


    “There won’t be awsuit,” Elena interjected firmly. “Helena won’t take action against me.”


    Samira scoffed. “Oh? And what makes you so sure? Do you know Helena personally?”


    Alexander was ready to escort Samira out when the doorbell suddenly rang. The butler soon returned with an announcement: two officials from the design association had arrived, asking for Elena.


    Javier, practically gleeful, sneered, “See? The design association is here to confront her. Elena, of all the people to copy, you chose Helena. Even an idiot could’ve predicted this oue.”


    Samira, despite everything, didn’t want Leopardex to suffer. She still hoped Bertha would entrust thepany to Elyse. So, in a hurry, she said, “We must offer an official response to both the design association and Helena. Elena should take responsibility and resign from Leopardex.”


    The two vice presidents of the design association had barely stepped inside when they overheard this. Their expressions darkened. How on earth could the Harper family speak so recklessly about Helena? Helena wasn’t just an ordinary designer—she was among the finest in the world. They had spent years searching for her, only to realize today, through the media, that she was the Harper family’s daughter. They had rushed here, desperate not to miss the opportunity to meet her.


    The elder of the two, his gray hair neatlybed back, frowned and asked in a severe tone, “Madam, what exactly did you just say?”


    Seeing their stern faces, Samira assumed she had been correct—the design association hade to hold Elena ountable. Eagerly, she dered, “You’re here because of Elena, aren’t you? Well, she’s already been dismissed from Leopardex, so whatever happens from here has nothing to do with thepany.”


    The two officials exchanged stunned nces. Had they misheard? Was this woman out of her mind? Leopardex actually fired Helena? They had been trying to recruit Helena for years, yet she had repeatedly declined their offers.


    “Is what you’re saying true?” the older one asked.


    I??è$? ￠??t?€я? 1n ??lπoνεl?.c??


    Samira, brimming with confidence, nodded and replied, “Yes, absolutely.”


    This way, Leopardex would remain unaffected.


    Unexpectedly, the two officials’ eyes now gleamed with unmistakable intrigue.


    The Design Association had two vice presidents, but the president’s position had always remained vacant. It was reserved for Helena.


    Worry had gued the two vice presidents on their journey, fearing Helena’smitments to Leopardex would leave her no time for the presidency. Now their concerns had evaporated into thin air. Such an unexpected stroke of luck!


    Unaware of Helena’s prominence in the design world, Samira had dismissed her without a second thought.


    Undisguised awe spread across one vice president’s face as they gazed at Elena, astonished that the globally celebrated jewelry designer was so young. Truly impressive.


    “Helena, since you’ve parted ways with Leopardex, why not step into the role of president at the Design Association? This position has been kept vacant especially for you!”
