Chapter 125
Ivana’s heart was excited, thinking Isabella would be kicked out of the company. However, she still tried her best to keep calm.
Tossing her bag onto the sofa beside her, Emily crossed her arms and sipped her coffee, saying, “Of course, losers won’t admit they’re trash.”
Emily shot a disdainful side glance at Isabella. She sneered, “Back when Ms. Ivana Stout was undergoing the same screening. even as a member of the Stout family, how come you’re so useless?”
Emily’s words were extremely rude. She completely trampled on Isabella as if grinding Isabella underfoot.
Ivana felt secretly pleased. Being praised in front of so many people and outshining Isabella made her heart soar with joy.
Ivana looked at Emily and said, “Don’t be like this. Bella is quite capable, too,”
Several people from the design department couldn’t help but smicker softly at Isabella. Someone said, “Ms. Ivana Stout, she doesn’t even have a bit of your excellence.”
Another person added, “Yeah, she’s all pride and no talent.”
One person said, “Ms. Ivana Stout is beautiful, kind, and talented, unlike some people who can’t do anything but act strong.” These words seemed like direct jabs aimed at Isabella.
A few girls felt sorry for Isabella being picked on by so many but didn’t dare speak up. Ivana was someone they couldn’t afford to offend.
Just then, Isabella suddenly stood up from her desk. Her sudden action startled the people who had just been speaking, several clutching their chests from the shock.
Emily sneered at Isabella, “What’s the matter? You can’t take it just because I mentioned your lack of skill?” She mocked inside. “No skills but a big attitude.
Isabella fixed her gaze on Emily, her eyes icy cold. She said sarcastically, “I don’t have your kind of talent with words.”
Isabella thought, ‘Emily is such a busybody. Someone like her shouldn’t qualify to be the deputy manager of the Stout Group’s design department. She’s practically a corporate leech. She probably butters up to Ivana to get that position in the first place!
Emily’s face turned dark immediately after Isabella’s retort. She said, “What’s the point of arguing with me? If you’re so capable, show us your design drafts.”
Emily thought, “She dares to humiliate me in front of everyone in the office, she really deserves the trouble Ivana is giving her‘
Emily’s eyes were locked intently on Isabella. She was determined to kick Isabella out in front of everyone. She laughed coldly and said, “If you can’t produce the design drafts, you’re just useless.”
At this point, Emily was completely sure that Isabella couldn’t possibly have the design drafts. Otherwise, they would have been shown the moment they walked through the door.
The others agreed, one after another. Someone said, “Yeah, just lking is pointless. You need real skills.”
Another person said, “If you can’t produce the design draft today, not only will you have to leave the company, but you’ll also need to apologize to Ms. Ivana Stout and Emily
One person said, “Forget it. An apology from a failure like her is worth tarnishing Ms. Ivana Stout and Emily’s names

Their back–and–forth only reinforced that Isabella wouldn’t produce any design drafts. Isabella stayed silent and gestured to reveal the sketchbook next to her.
Everyone exchanged looks, confused, thinking, ‘Did she manage to draw it?”
Ivana furrowed her eyebrows even more. She thought, ‘Isabella definitely couldn’t have created a design draft. Yet, she couldn’t stop glancing at Isabella’s sketches on the table.
Emily stared at Isabella as she slowly walked forward, reaching out to pick up the sketchbook. She gave Isabella a cold smirk and said, “You call that a drawing? It’s nothing but rubbish.” The next moment, she suddenly stopped.
On the sketchbook, there was a set of jewelry designs, dazzlingly brilliant. They were just sketches, yet they seemed to leap off the page with realism. The jewelry set included a necklace, a ring, and earrings
With an orchid theme, the necklace featured an aquamarine in the middle of the flower, making the orchid design look even more pure and serene.
Everyone in the design department had seen Lucas’s wife Grace photo. She was a very slender yet exquisite woman.
Compared to necklaces encrusted with heavy gems, this delicate floral design suited Grace much better. With just one glance, it felt like this jewelry was meant for Grace.
Emily was utterly taken aback. She wondered, ‘How could Isabella develop such a stunning design in just three days?”
Ivana quickly stepped forward and unhesitatingly seized the sketches from Emily’s hand. At that moment, her face turned as pale as paper.
Ivana thought with disbelief, “How could this vile person possibly…? No, that absolutely can’t be true!‘ Suddenly, a massive wave of panic engulfed Ivana.
Other curious employees gathered around, and as soon as they saw the sketches, they were amazed and couldn’t help but exclaim. Someone said, “Wow, this is incredible!”
Another person said, “I think it will look stunning on Mrs. Smith
One person said, “Jewelry with a floral theme usually looks cheap and tacky, but this set doesn’t; it’s so sophisticated. Handling this so well requires a designer with top–notch skills.”
Another person said, “Yeah, look at how the aquamarine complements the orchid perfectly.”
Most designers choose a lavish and grand style when setting aquamarines in jewelry. That was the way to avoid mistakes. However, the set shown by Isabella was not about luxury; it had a luxurious yet understated feel, greatly enhancing its value. As more and more people offered praise, Ivana and Emily looked increasingly displeased.
Laura, dressed in a cute pink mini–dress, studied the design drafts seriously, her chubby little face full of eoficentration.
With one arm crossed and a finger touching her nose, Laura contemplated quietly, then suddenly said, “Wait, I’ve seen this design somewhere before.”
That statement caused waves of shock in Ivana and Emily.
Ivana struggled to control her excited feelings. She thought, ‘I know it; how could that airhead Isabella possibly develop a jewelry design? It turns out it is plagiarized:
Emily’s eyes sparkled as she stepped forward. She pointed at Isabella and said coldly. “As the eldest daughter of the Stout family, how disgracefull”

Emily sherred. Do youthink someone like you can measure up to Ms. Ivana Stout? How could you two sisters be so different?”
Pride gleamed in the depths of Ivana’s eyes. She wished she could trample Isabella into the dirt and never let her rise again.
Ivana looked at Isabella in disbelief. Her voice tinged with disappointment, saying. “Bella, I know you want to stay at the company to prove yourself, but not like this,”
Ivana sneered inside. I thought Isabella might have fundamental skills. But now, it seems she’s just average. Even if she is Dr. Lovett, so what? She will obediently stay down in my territory, like a worthless nobody!
