“Tonya, what brings you here?”
“I heard that there were problems with your design again, so after much consideration, I felt that your company was unreliable. I wanted to terminate the contract and let DK Jewelry take over the jewelry design.”
Tonya’s tone was as assertive as ever.
Marcella said with schadenfreude, “Big brother, I told you long ago that Renee was unreliable and has tarnished our company’s reputation.”
Quincy cast a glance at Marcella, his gaze faint yet filled with warning.
Marcella shrank her neck, not daring to continue speaking. She came today just to watch the drama unfold, and to add fuel to the fire, hoping to tarnish Renee’s reputation and get her kicked out of the group.
The man looked back, “Tonya, despite your dissatisfaction, there indeed was a minor hiccup, but…”
“I don’t want to hear any buts, Quincy. You should go back to focusing on architectural design, and stop dabbling in jewelry. Haven’t you learned enough from your father’s failure?”
The office atmosphere suddenly became stagnant, and the man’s eyes slightly sank.
Renee abruptly stood up, bowing towards the other party, “Tonya, I must apologize to you first for this matter. It was my negligence that led to this mistake. However, I can assure you that the design that comes out this time will definitely satisfy you.”
“What did you bring to satisfy me?”

Renee took out her phone and opened a few design diagrams, “These are the images I have designed, you can take a look at the effects first.”
Tonya had been wearing a stern expression, but her face faltered when she saw the design.
Renee immediately crouched next to Tonya’s knee, whispering, “This design was intended for your sister, I’m sorry that in order to align with your wishes, I looked up your relationship with your sister online, it seems there were some conflicts in the past. So I deliberately added this pattern to the design, it’s the willow tree in your old family courtyard, I remember it was planted when you and your sister were children……..”
Unconsciously, Tonya had become fascinated by what she was hearing.
Quincy quietly watched this scene, his gaze falling on Renee. Her serious yet gentle demeanor was somewhat dazzling.
Half an hour later, Renee finally finished explaining the concept behind her design, as well as its origins and implications.
Tonya’s expression wasn’t as unpleasant as it was at the beginning, her tone feigned toughness: “The design looks not bad.”
“Tonya, if you had given me one more day, I would have presented it to you exactly the same.”
“Alright then, I’ll trust you guys one more time.”
Renee sent Tonya off with a smile, while Marcella next to her stomped her foot, but didn’t dare to say anything.
She originally came to laugh at that little bitch Renee, but ended up not being able to? How could Tonya have liked the design sketch just now? She thought it was very ugly and not good–looking at all.
After Tonya left, Renee’s throat was almost smoking.

She casually picked up the cup that was on the table and took a sip. It was sour and sweet lemon water, which she drank up in one breath.
After drinking some water, Renee finally recovered. She looked at the man standing in front of her and asked, “So, I followed you here, I didn’t hold you back, did I?”
There was a hint of smugness in her eyes, sly like a little kitten.
Quincy didn’t speak, he lowered his gaze to the cup in her hand, and slowly asked, “Is my water, tasty?”
Huh?
Renee glanced at the empty cup, her expression awkward, “I’m sorry, I was too thirsty just now, let me get you a new one.”
“No need, just a reminder: your time was running out.”
The tone of that dog of a man was still so punchable.
Renee put down her teacup and left immediately, not pausing for even a second. He watched her retreating figure, a look of admiration in his eyes that he himself hadn’t even noticed.
She managed to buy another day, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The news quickly reached Lisa’s ears, and she was not surprised at all, because Marcella had just messaged her.
How was Renee always so lucky every time?

A week later, Renee and her colleagues worked together and finally managed to finish the jewelry on time.
The party over there happened to be on Tuesday night, just in time for

Tonya’s sister’s birthday.
After the last accident, Renee made a double insurance backup this time, fearing any further accidents. Once the finished jewelry was delivered, she personally checked it to ensure there were no issues before packing it into the box.
“Is it resolved?”
A deep voice came from behind her. Renee turned around abruptly, only to find Quincy standing behind her. When did he get here?
She quickly spoke up, “Send someone to the banquet, they should be able to make it in time.”
“This piece was designed by you, so naturally, you will be the one to deliver it. Tonya highly appreciates your design concept, you need to take responsibility to the end.”
Renee hesitated for a moment, “Alright then.”
“Change your clothes. If you go to the party dressed like this, people will think our Quinjoy Group has no taste!”
Renee looked at her outfit, “It’s too late to change now.”
“Heh.”
The man left after dropping a word, Renee gritted her teeth, “You could have told me earlier to deliver the jewelry to the party.”
Who had time for last–minute changes?
Morris came over: “Madam, the makeup artist has arrived, they are in the small reception room.”
Renee didn’t have time to curse the jerk, she went straight to the small reception room. However, it was a bit embarrassing when she was

changing clothes, she had gained a little weight and her waist had thickened a bit, she couldn’t fit into the slim–waisted evening dress.
The stylist was a bit embarrassed: “We brought the clothes according to the size given here.”
Who could have thought that the size was completely inappropriate.
“It’s okay, besides the dress, what else did you bring?”
Renee finally changed into a handsome suit brought by the stylist, which was rather loose. She only put on light makeup, not wanting to use too much cosmetics that might affect the baby.
She hurriedly went downstairs to the garage, directly opened the car door and sat in, only to find that the despicable man was also inside.
Renee froze: “You’re going too?”
