Heidi Leighton’s lips curled into a pleased smile.
Nina Sinclair had now become the sole commander of Elysian; no matter how ambitious she was, wanting to achieve major success all by herself was impossible.
Quite a few people had already sided with Heidi Leighton.
Nina Sinclair, on the other hand, seemed isolated, somewhat lonely and pitiful, like an abandoned child.
Millie Langley’s face showed a steadfast expression as she said to Nina Sinclair, "Manager Sinclair, I will not leave you. Rest assured, no matter what happens, I will be by your side."
Back then, when she was targeted, it was Nina Sinclair who spent three whole days repairing the damaged paintings to clear her of all accusations and prevent her from being fired. Therefore, Millie Langley was absolutely loyal to Nina Sinclair!
But now, with only Millie Langley left, it was of no use. Nina Sinclair still faced the grim reality of having no one to support her.
Julian Lancaster watched Nina Sinclair fall into such a predicament, and his face darkened.
His identity had not been exposed, so he couldn’t openly question Uncle Marcus about what was happening.
Although he already guessed, it was likely his grandfather was unwilling to let Heidi Leighton into Zenith and wanted to do something to trouble Nina Sinclair. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt
Julian Lancaster’s face grew darker with anger rising in his chest.
Uncle Marcus sensed the frightening aura emanating from Julian Lancaster and involuntarily trembled, yet he had no choice but to proceed.
Julian Lancaster contemplated how to deal with the situation in his heart; should he directly expel Heidi Leighton?
Surely, if it came to that, there would be no way to remedy the aftermath, further provoking his grandfather’s opposition.
At this moment, Uncle Marcus stepped forward again.
He cleared his throat lightly, then announced in a loud voice, "Lancaster Group has decided to allow Nia and Elysian to undergo fair and unbiased healthy competition. Both brands will design new creations for public sale over a three-month period. If, after three months, one brand’s sales figure falls below the other, then that brand will be removed from Zenith and will be forced to pack up and leave!"
Upon hearing these words, some secretly began to rejoice.
Fortunately, they had just sided with Heidi Leighton; otherwise, siding with Nina Sinclair might lead to the brand being canceled and ultimately being dismissed.
After all, now Nina Sinclair was fighting solo, and finding excellent designers and creating perfect hot-selling new products in a short time was no easy task.
President of Zenith’s office.
Julian Lancaster looked icily at Uncle Marcus standing before him and asked in a low voice, "Grandfather instructed you to do this?"
Uncle Marcus sighed helplessly, appearing pitiful, "Young Master Quentin, you also know that the old man dislikes Miss Sinclair and hopes you will marry Miss Leighton, which is why he’s doing this."
Upon hearing this, Julian Lancaster’s face instantly sank, his voice carrying thin anger, "Zenith is under my control."
If it weren’t for the sake of identity, he would have immediately refuted Uncle Marcus’s words openly earlier.
Unexpectedly, his grandfather had actually planted Heidi Leighton within Zenith, targeting Nina Sinclair as her opponent.
Under his own watch, he couldn’t even protect his woman; what kind of man could he still call himself then?
Uncle Marcus, before coming, had predicted Julian Lancaster would be very angry, and he had already thought through all his arguments.
After pondering for a moment, Uncle Marcus gently advised, "Young Master Quentin, why not consider another perspective? The old man favors Miss Leighton, but Miss Sinclair may not be inferior to her. You can secretly aid Miss Sinclair, and when she suppresses Miss Leighton, wouldn’t it prove to the old man your vision was correct?"
Upon hearing these words, Julian Lancaster’s tightly knit brows gradually relaxed.
If he were to adopt a strong confrontational stance, it would indeed trigger greater dissatisfaction; the best way to change his grandfather’s bias against Nina Sinclair is indeed to showcase her capabilities.
Julian Lancaster waved his hand, "Understood, you may leave."
Uncle Marcus saw that Julian Lancaster wasn’t angry and appeared to have listened to his words. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, "Alright, I will head back now."
With those words, Uncle Marcus turned and left.
Once Uncle Marcus left, Julian Lancaster displayed a pensive expression.
The people of Elysian had all pledged allegiance to Heidi Leighton, and now Nina Sinclair’s greatest challenge was having no one available to use.
Moments later, Julian Lancaster dialed Marcus Walsh’s number, "Compile a list of all top-ranking jewelry designers and get me all the information within ten minutes."
