The plane landed in America.

Susan Shelby disembarked the plane and saw a middle-aged man with a cultured, refined outlook.

She could not help smiling at the man. "Hey there."

The man was Mr. Reed's apprentice as well and the most renowned designer in Canada now. He was unparalleled.

His name was Cliff Pierce.

When Susan first entered the profession, he was already a well-known person in the field.

Susan wondered if it was easier for those with the surname Pierce to succeed in this profession?

There was a Tomas Pierce in the past and now, there was Cliff Pierce.

Cliff looked at Susan and smiled. "Let's go, I'll take you to the hotel first."

"Alright," answered Susan immediately while she asked, "Cliff, I was so surprised when I heard from my teacher that you were coming to pick me up. Are you taking part in the Locke Award as well?"

Cliff raised an eyebrow and scoffed once. "N o. A competition like the Locke Award is actually the American way of entertaining themselves. I clung on to it for a while when I was young. However, I gave up after failing to enter the top three for three consecutive years. If I were to risk sounding arrogant, it's true that I don't have full confidence that I'll win the competition but I will still take the position of the top three winners."

Susan understood Cliff's statement so all she could do was nod approvingly.

It had been so many years and the capability of Canadian designers had always been no less than others. However, Canadian designers rarely ever placed as one of the top three winners of the Locke Award. This was unrelated to the capability already but it originated from the inherent hostility of America to Canada.

"Susie, you're still young. Consider your participation in this competition as an opportunity to accumulate experience and don't take the final result too seriously." Cliff took a glance at Susan and forewarned her Susan could not help chuckling. "Don't worry, Cliff. I'm only trying to improve myself through the competition!

Cliff nodded in approval. "You have the right mentality. The top three winners of the Locke Award will certainly be the Americans. Strive to become the top ten finalists with your goal in this competition. Fame is just an illusion but a determined effort to improve yourself will be yours."

Cliff's remark was absolutely meant to guide Susan.

Susan nodded in admiration. "Noted, thank you, Cliff."

Cliff chuckled. "There's no need to thank me. I was sent here to help you because of your teacher. You should do fine in the preliminary online competition for the Locke Award, but the crucial parts are the quarterfinals and finals. From now until the quarterfinals, you still have one month. I've already freed my time in advance for a month to carry out training for you to improve and make breakthroughs. I hope that you'll be able to acquire an even better result this way."

One month of targeted guidance by Cliff Pierce?

Susan's eyes lit up at once. She remembered that Cliff told her that Mr.

Reed sent him here so she could not help feeling gratified in her heart.

Her teacher really did not want her to let her talent go to waste.

From now on, she would not disappoint her teacher anymore. She decided that she would certainly make fame for herself on the designer's path. Susan prepared in full pursuit for the Locke Award. She directly shut herself in the hotel following a period of time and accepted Cliff's assault training. Immersed in the sea of designing, Susan worked tirelessly day and night and found that she had no time to think about those annoying matters anymore. In Skyking City, Julian Shaw was restless and could not sit still from anxiety.

Susan suddenly headed to the States and she was taking part in some Locke Award. It would take her two to three months there in total before her return. It was especially worrying when Julian received news that Susan was being guided by Cliff for 24 hours. He became even more restless without his notice.

"Cliff Pierce is over 40 years old! He is not better looking than me judging from the photos. Susie won't take interest in him." 'However, Susie mentioned him on multiple occasions. She said that Cliff is the designer that she admires the most in this era."

Julian muttered to himself and the age-old jealousy began surging in his heart again.

His logic was basically telling him that the relationship between Susan and Cliff would not develop further.

Yet, his sentiment was different. As soon as he thought about Susan spending day and night with another man, Julian felt as if he was going mad soon.

If this was the past, he would certainly head over there to kill the man on the spot.

However, Susie was still furious at him now. If he were to head over there suddenly, Susie would only become even more infuriated!

No, he could not make an appearance.

However, he could not allow Susan to continue to spend time with the man either.

No, he must figure out a way for sure.

Hence, a few hours later.

A little girl named Chesney Shaw was sent to the airport where a private jet was already waiting for her there.

"Daddy, you're really very childish, huh?" Chesney looked at Julian, speechless.

"How can you speak to Daddy like this?" Julian looked at her in all apparent seriousness. "I asked for a long leave for you so that you don't need to go to school and can go travel instead. How is that childish?" "I don't want to travel to America then.

Change it to someplace else for me."

Chesney took a disdainful glance at Julian. "The flight route will have to be approved in advance. The approved route is to America this time and I can't change it anymore," said Julian calmly. Chesney could not refrain from rolling her eyes. "Childish."

Julian could not stand it anymore regardless of how shameless he was. He knocked on Chessie's little head. "So you're complaining when I'm taking you for a trip?"

"I'm not. I'm not." As Chesney was speaking, she heaved a sigh and said with a helpless expression, "It's really difficult to be an obedient child."

It was rather amusing to watch her heaving deep sighs.

Julian raised an eyebrow and pretended not to hear that.

Upon arriving in America, Julian took Chesney to check into the room next to Susan's hotel room right away. Then, he began waiting to create a surprise reunion eagerly.

Yet, he and Chessie waited in the hotel for two days and Susan did not even step out of the room for one step surprisingly.

At night, Chessie yawned and said affectionately, "Daddy, the five-star hotel has rather good sound insulation. You can't hear anything at all like this."

Julian shifted his ear away from the wall unwillingly.

Susan was staying in a presidential suite and she had not left the room for a few days. Cliff came out to have a meal a few times too while the rest of the time, they spent day and night with each other. At the thought of this, Julian could not sit still anymore.

"Chessie!" Julian looked at Chessie in all apparent seriousness. "I have something very serious to discuss with you."

"What's that?" Chessie looked at him in confusion.

"Mommy is really working too hard day and night like this." Julian grimly added," You are the apple of Mommy's eyes. I feel that there's a need for you to be with Mommy and use your smile to soothe her body and mind."

Chesney could not help pouting. "Daddy, just be frank and say that you're sending me as a spy."
