Chapter 59
Xavier glanced at Josephine, picked up his phone, and called Simon.
He said, “Bernard will be the architectural consultant, Aveline will be the lead architect, and Jasmine, Julian, and Dy- lan will assist her. Bernard’s opinion will be final.”
Simon was surprised. “Mr. Beltran, you mean putting Dylan on the design team? I’m afraid…”
Xavier chuckled. “What’s the big deal if I want to spend money to hire an extra person? If Aveline is capable, why would she be afraid of Dylan affecting her?”
Simon said helplessly, “Yes, Mr. Beltran. I’ll make it clear to Mr. Clarke and Ms. Sutton.”
Xavier hung up the phone. Josephine, who was beside him, said unhappily, “Darling, are you still going to use my sis- ter?”
Xavier said flatly, “Bernard recommended her. I have to use her. This project can’t be done without Bernard.”
Josephine lowered her eyes and pressed her lips together, a flash of malice in her eyes.
When Aveline received Simon’s message, she was a bit surprised. She hadn’t expected Xavier to hire her.
On second thought, it must be because Xavier couldn’t refuse Bernard. It didn’t matter that he didn’t trust her design skills. As long as Bernard was overseeing it, he would feel confident letting her do the job.
But putting Dylan on their design team made Jasmine and Julian very unhappy.
Jasmine said, “Is he putting Dylan here to supervise us?”
Julian said, “He still doesn’t approve of Aveline’s abilities.”
Jasmine scoffed. “If Xavier isn’t an idiot, he can tell how amazing Aveline is from her resume. He’s not doubting her ability. He just can’t bear to see Josephine upset, so he has to get Dylan into the project to get a piece of the pie. When the project is done, Dylan will get his name on the design credits too.”
“Hmph, Xavier isn’t just promoting Josephine, he’s promoting her cousin too.”
“The thought of Aveline’s credit being given to Dylan just to boost his reputation makes me furious.”
Aveline said calmly, “It’s okay. As long as Bernard has no objections, let’s do it. A project like this is a rare opportu- nity, we can’t give it up. And since we’ve taken it, we have to do a great job.”
Anyway, as long as her name was on it as the lead designer, it was fine.
Then Bernard got the message and called Aveline. “About Dylan, you’re okay with it, right?”

Aveline replied, “I’m fine with it.”
“Okay. I don’t probably won’t get in your way either. Just think of it as Xavier having too much money and wanting to support
www.avier put him on the team, but I’ve looked at his resume. He won’t be any help to you, but he
someone.”
Aveline was amused by Bernard’s words. “Yeah, I get it. Don’t worry, Bernard, I’m not bothered by it.”
“Good. My flight leaves this afternoon. I’ll be back to sign the contract once it’s drafted.
Sebastian said the landscape project for The Luohua Six Peaks Resort is yours. Do a good job.”
Hearing Bernard say that, Jasmine and Julian had no choice but to turn their dissatisfaction into motivation and were determined to help Aveline do a good job on the project.
Two days later, in the afternoon, Julian and Jasmine stayed at the studio while Aveline went alone to the Crestmark building in Entora to sign the contract.
After signing the contract, Aveline heard that Sebastian happened to be there too, so she told Jessica she would go say hello to him.
Jessica knew Sebastian had a thing for Aveline, so she was happy to take her to Sebastian’s office.
When they reached the Executive Office, another secretary said the CEO of the was here, talking with Mr. Harmon in his office.
