Chapter 97 Abundant Slaver
Hugo was surprised.
He didn’t expect Jasper would call him so late at night, did something happen?
Hugo answered the phone with trepidation, smiling in a curt tone, “Mr. Jasper, you are still up so late.”
Jasper checked his watch, “Is it late? It’s not even nine o’clock!”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Hugo was embarrassed, he smiled forcibly, “Mr. Jasper, you are calling so late, is there something you want to tell me?”
Jasper said: “The organizing committee just called me and said that Helena had submitted her design this morning and was the first designer to do so. The organizing committee also said that her design this time was great and had a refreshing feel to it.”
Hugo was so surprised: Helena had handed in her design in the morning? Today is the second day of the competition, and she finished her work in one day?
“Wrong!” As if he knew what Hugo was thinking, Jasper denied him across the screen, “What Annie reported was that she had been playing yesterday and could only conceptualise it in the evening, drawing it overnight and handing it in before eight o’clock.”
Again, Jasper’s voice came from the other end, “Over five hundred people will be eliminated this time, leaving only the last hundred. For the first elimination, you can borrow the Yip Group’s power to help Rebecca, and for the second elimination you can only rely on Rebecca’s own strength.”
“Yes, yes, Mr. Jasper, you are right, and Rebecca will definitely give it her best shot.”
“Well! I’m calling you because I want you to tell her to use more thought on the game and not to think about love affairs all the time. Pregnant women need to learn to meditate, always thinking about those love affairs, it’s easy to hurt the baby.”
“……”
“Also, the organizing committee admired Helena’s work and specifically called to ask her what her inspiration was for creating it. She said that there was no creative inspiration, just a composite of several previous samples that she liked very much.”
Hugo almost bit his tongue in surprise, “What? What did she say?”
Jasper repeated, “What she meant to say was: she had a few small samples of designs she was very happy with before that she had never put to use, and this time it was just the right time to combine those samples.”
Hugo fell onto the sofa.
There was a desperate gleam in his eyes.
How could this happen? How could Helena use old works?
The manuscripts left by Helena at the company and the undisclosed designs on her computer were all taken over by them.
When Rebecca approached Linda to learn from her, the work she submitted was Helena’s manuscript.
In the first round of elimination, the work that Rebecca put into the broadcast was still Helena’s manuscript.
For this competition, Rebecca would also use Helena’s manuscript. Rebecca said, “She has three particularly good pieces. I’ll use one this time and use the remaining two later.”
What to do?
Will the organizing committee suspect anything when Helena melted the old work into one and Rebecca used her work?
Helena was the first designer to turn in a draft, so wasn’t it a bit unreasonable to say that Helena copied from Rebecca?
“This is what I want to tell you, and you tell Rebecca to cheer up. I have a desire to make it up to the Yip family, don’t let me down.”
Jasper hung up the phone and called Daniel, “I’ve already finished calling, so it should be enough to make them anxious for two days. Rebecca has lost her love life, and of she’s lost her career again, so I wonder if she would be angry.”
That was right!
The report was set up by them!
The camera was used by Daniel to bribe the Riley family’s maids!
Rebecca’s short video was sent by Daniel!
Jasper calculated the time, waiting for Rebecca to finish digesting her emotions before he called Hugo.
Hugo called in a panic: “Rebecca, something’s wrong.” Then he repeated what happened: “You can’t use any of those fine works of hers. If you become suspicious after using them and are asked to create them on the spot, you’ll be finished.”
Rebecca felt tired.
The image of Elias and Scarlet together hadn’t been driven out of her mind yet. Now it came another big thing: “Helena must have done it on purpose, she must have watched my live stream and thought that I would use her work again this time, so she went ahead and made it impossible for me to use it.”
Hugo panicked, “What do we do now? Shall I ask Linda for one?”
No, no, no, Linda wouldn’t have given him her work, let alone tarnished her reputation because of him. If not for Jasper’s backing, if not for Helena’s work, Linda would certainly not have taken Rebecca as a student.
Rebecca was calmer than him and knew that Linda wouldn’t give it to her, so she now had two solutions to the problem: “First, let Linda guide me in my creation. Second, I’ll take the best of the other six works of the Yip Group and use them as my own.”
Hugo calmed down and went for the second option.
Because Linda could not coach her, coaching was a foul.
Also, Rebecca’s drawing skills were not good, and even if Linda could coach her, she would not be able to draw at the level that Linda wanted.
This left the second option available, sacrificing one of employees to make Rebecca whole.
In the meantime.
Jasper pushed open the door to room 2808.
Helena didn’t turn on the light, the curtains were drawn tightly, and the room was so dark inside that he couldn’t even see the road clearly. He touched the switch and called out at the same time, “Helena, are you in there?”
The switch was broken.
The light was not on with several presses.
He took out his mobile phone to shine the light, then he heard the sound of fumbling from behind him. There was a sudden sinking on his back and a not-so-heavy “mountain” jumped on his back, laughing brightly: “Surprised? I’ll sneak up on you from behind!”
Jasper’s mood had been low all day, and it was only when he heard her laughing at this moment that his low mood could be completely better. He carried her on his back, his hands holding her up so that she wouldn’t slip off: “I haven’t seen you for two days, you’re getting naughty.”
“I’m naughty, do you like it?” Helena came up to his ear and exhaled to tease him.
His heartbeat thudded faster, his breath slowly becoming heavier. He liked it when she teased him, and when she didn’t tease him for a long time, he wondered if he was no longer worth teasing.
“I asked if you like it.”
“Mmm!”
“What do you mean? You have to say ‘like’ or ‘dislike’ it.”
“……”
“Say it or not? Are you waiting for me to bite you?” Helena stretched out the tip of her tongue and licked from his face. The first time she licked, she wasn’t very good at it and licked Jasper’s face with saliva.
Jasper had been quite nervous, but now he snorted with laughter, “You’re really a puppy, saliva in abundance.”
