they only had to interfere with the Avelon Designs Competition
However, since the Avelon Designs Competition was internationally organized, any attempt to intervene would
require a significant effort and cost. But what else could it be? Lily couldn't figure it out, but unease settled as
she returned home. Though her rented apartment was small, it was fully equipped and warm in the cold winter.
When she closed the door, her anxious heart finally eased a little.

When she grew tired, she rested on the couch for a while
Because of the upcoming competition, Maryanne had wisely refrained from disturbing her, occasionally sending
texts to vent her frustrations. Whenever Lily had time, she would chat with Maryanne.
Hazel had contacted her several times, but she hadn't responded. However, she would always answer Hayden's
calls.
Hayden had also been busy recently. The gwas about to launch, and many issues required his attention.
Finally managing to carve out stime, he immediately cto find her for a meal...
Fearing she might have too much trouble cooking, he insisted on eating at a small restaurant downstairs from

"What do you mean? Lily's eyes flickered in confusion.
She had a rough idea of what he meant but didn't want to think about it.
He struggled to speak, his face filled with shand anger. "Anyway, don't contact them again!"
He couldn't bring himself to tell her he had overheard Bobby and Hazel discussing how to trick Lily into meeting
