Chapter 38
“If you’re serious about working for the company, how about going into the public relations department?”
“Not into that.” Caroline knew what Harry was up to when he suggested her to the public relations department. To put it plainly, he wanted to use her to attract clients because of her beauty and get more investments.
What a PERFECT plan!
Harry thought again and suggested, “If you don’t want to go to the public relations department, what about the marketing department? You’ll be polished there.”
Tm not going to the marketing department either.”
“Then what do you want to do?”
“I want to go to the design department!”
“You? To the design department?” Harry knew that Caroline was a design major back in the day, and she was as talented as her mother but hadn’t graduated. At the thought of that, he said. “Since you want to go to the design department, that’s fine. I’ll let you start with the internship, okay?”
“No way! I want to be either the chief designer or the design director!”
Just then, Yvonne and Seth arrived at the door and heard Caroline saying those boastful words. Yvonne couldn’t help but shout, “Don’t you listen to her, Dad! I’m the chief designer now, and she wants to take my place! I’m not giving it to her!”
“I’ve heard Lewis Group is still short of a design director, so I’ll just make do with being a design director!” Caroline said. nonchalantly.
“You serious? Caroline, look at yourself. What makes you suitable for the design director position? Do you have a doctorate? Have you ever won an international design award, or do you have any working experience in design? You’ve got nothing, yet you want to be a design director! As you can see, Lewis Group had already hired a suitable candidate for that position. whose name was Ms. Nyx. She’s an internationally renowned designer! Now do yourself a favor and stop wasting time here!”
Yvonne belittled her like she was a good–for–nothing person. The former couldn’t blame Caroline for turning against her.
“Good! I just wanted to see how you guys treat me, but I didn’t expect it to turn out like this. How disappointing!”
Caroline made a call and said, “Sebastian, would you tell the chairman of Lewis Group that I declined their invitation and the signing ceremony is canceled? I feel sick working with these brainless people!”
Caroline hung up the phone with a cold expression.
Nonetheless, the call had sent shock waves through the audience. Everyone at the site, including Harry, Seth, and Yvonne, panicked.
They all knew that they could get Nyx to join the company because of Sebastian, as he was the middleman. Without him. they couldn’t invite Nyx at all.
At that point, Caroline was on the phone with Sebastian. That was unbelievable.
“What does she mean by turning down the invitation and canceling the signing?” they wondered.
Yvonne cried out loud incredulously. “Caroline, what the heck are you doing? Do you know Sebastian? Are you Nyx? That’s impossible!”
Harry and Seth were stunned by the speculation. Neither of them believed that Caroline was Nyx.
“That’s not possible! Not by a long chalk!” everyone exclaimed inwardly.
They refused to accept the fact and were in denial desperately.
Harry received a call from Sebastian at that moment. “Hello, Mr. Lewis? I’m Sebastian.”
“Mr. Cartwright, will Ms. Nyx be here for the signing ceremony today?” Harry wanted to figure out what was going on so badly.
“Look, just now, Ms. Nyx has called to say that she has declined your invitation and wanted to cancel the signing ceremony. I want to know if you have done anything to offend her. Why did she go back on her word?”
When Harry hung up the phone, his face was the bleakest it had ever been. Then, he looked at Caroline again, feeling that the world had turned upside down.
“Caroline, why didn’t you tell me earlier that you are Nyx?” Harry sighed. He had let her down.
Yvonne looked at them as if she had been struck by lightning. “Is she Nyx? Is she really that person? Impossible!”
Seth was astonished. “Caroline, are you really Nyx? How so?”
“You want to know why? You don’t deserve it! It’s chilling to have Thompson Group in the hands of people like you! Just

wait! Everything will all go back to square one!” When Caroline finished speaking, she put on her sunglasses and walked out of the office. Riley and the rest of the group followed her.
A few people in the room still hadn’t returned to their senses.
None of them had expected Caroline to achieve so much in just a few years.
“What had happened when she went on the run? How did she become Nyx?” they pondered.
Seth snapped back to his senses and uttered, “Chairman, we had already announced the news that Nyx would join us, but it had turned out this way. What should we do now?”
“I don’t know what to do!” Harry dropped to the ground like a chair. His soul was halfway out of his body as he kept thinking about the last thing she said.
“What did she mean that everything would go back to square one?” he wondered.
“Forget about Nyx. Lewis Group will continue to survive without her.” Yvonne’s face was still sore. In any event, she would never let Caroline return to Lewis Group.
Even without Nyx joining them, she could still woo Lucent Venture Capital. With the investment in hand, Lewis Group could still do well.
Caroline got back in her Bentley outside the Lewis Group building.
Riley and the others all got into the car and hit the road. The former caught Caroline in the rearview mirror and couldn’t help asking, “Ms. Lewis, you’ve been through a lot of trouble, so you could come back to Lewis Group as Nyx. Are you going to give up now?”
“Do you really think that I want to be the design director that badly? It was just to give them some hints. My ultimate goal is to take back and revive Thompson Group!” What Caroline did to those people today was a slap in the face and let them know that she was no longer the person she used to be.
“Get ready for some serious blow, you scum and bitches!” she cursed inwardly.
Riley understood and asked again, “Ms. Lewis, where would we go next? Should we go to the Queen residence?”
“Go back to the company first!”
The Ziegler family waited for Caroline to apologize, and everyone on the internet was waiting to see her get screwed as she was supposed to go to the Queen’s residence.
However, an urgent matter arose at Lucent Venture Capital. Yohan sent her a message and needed her to deal with it. Hence, she asked Riley to send her to the company first..
Yohan, who had been waiting, took her into the conference room when she arrived.
Not long after, at the bottom part of the Lucent Venture Capital building, Yvonne got out of the car.
She entered the building and explained to the receptionist, “Hi, I’m the project manager of Lewis Group. My name is Yvonne, and I have an appointment with Mr. Coleman. Please inform him that I’m here. Thank you.”
The receptionist glanced at her and said, “Sorry, Mr. Coleman is having a meeting, but you can wait for him.”
“Sure. I’ll wait.” Yvonne had no choice but to be patient. She encouraged herself in her heart that she would take down the Lucent Venture Capital investment.
“Lucent Venture Capital was now one of the largest international venture capital firms. With their deep pockets, we can get a foothold in the country if they can invest and support Lewis Group. Dad will surely treat me with the utmost respect as soon as I win this investment.” she thought.
An hour or two passed, and Yvonne couldn’t help but inquire, “Is Mr. Coleman’s meeting over yet?”
“Let me ask you.”
A call from the front desk reached the CEO’s office. Yohan answered it and said to Caroline, “Yvonne is here!”
