rallied herself and headed to work at the company.

The atmosphere in the development department was tense, with a critical gaming project underway.

Colin had been in charge, but today the whole team suddenly went on strike.

The office was unusually quiet..

Evelyn casually surveyed the group and walked directly to Colin. “On strike?”

“Director Taylor, you’re overestimating me. I’m just a team leader, I don’t have the courage to lead a

strike,” Colin replied humbly, wearing a smirk that showed ‘I’m asking for trouble.’

“Did you forget your promise from yesterday?” Evelyn swung her phone.

Colin’s expression froze for a moment, “As long as you need, I will fully cooperate with work.

However, I have been ill; people do get sick from time to time.”

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to work recently, I hope you can understand.” With that, he produced

a medical certificate to request a one-month leave. One month, the project was due to finish in

one month…

Evelyn silently stared at the project proposal, her overwhelming presence making it hard for everyone

in the room to breathe.

“Are you really willing to give up such a good project?” Evelyn reiterated.

She remembered this game from her previous life; it had a brief period of popularity and

generated nearly two hundred million in value for the development team. Evelyn also remembered the Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

name of that company-SD Internet Company, which was currently competitor of

her agency.

There were still two months until SD Internet Company released this game.

Clearly, in her previous life, something must have happened within the company to allow SD Internet

Company to seize the opportunity and release the game first. Evelyn’s gaze remained resolute. In this

lifetime, she could not afford to squander her grandmother’s efforts.

Colin, however, paid little attention to Evelyn’s determination. He spoke with confidence, “I am not

giving up, but I lack the ability. I am truly sick.”

“I was originally worried about failing such a good project. Fortunately, Director Taylor appeared. With

your skills, completing this project shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Anyone could sense the meaning in

his words.

Luke, who Gavin just delivered to Evelyn as a assistance whispered a reminder, “This project is highly

valued. Maybe you should…”

“Okay,” Evelyn nodded. “Thanks.”

As she turned to leave, she kindly added, “You have a chance to back out before I start the program.

Maybe, this project will make you famous?”

Colin smiled without saying a word, his eyes filled with mockery.

After Evelyn left, people immediately gathered around Colin.

“Doesn’t she know that Colin has been overseeing this project for two months? Now she

wants to get involved? Ridiculous!”

“There are plenty of people overestimating themselves. Just wait and see how that woman will end up.

She has no idea how miserable she’ll be.”

“She’ll probably be begging Colin on her knees tomorrow.”

After organizing the materials, Evelyn realized that Colin had maliciously disrupted the code. In other

words, the two months of progress before had been completely ruined. This means she only has one

month left to redo this project. It was a task beyond a single person.

As for those people left by Colin, she didn’t have high expectations; it would be good if they

didn’t cause trouble.

“Director,” Luke suddenly entered with a resignation letter, looking somewhat uneasy. “The UI artist for

the project resigned suddenly. The HR department couldn’t retain them, even with triple

the salary.”

Evelyn: “…”

Da mn it, Colin’s actions were truly ruthless. No matter how much code there was, without an artist, the

game was useless.

She asked Luke, “Can we borrow someone from other project teams?”

Luke pursed his lips and remained silent.

Clearly, it wasn’t possible.

Evelyn bowed her head in contemplation., and suddenly a person flashed in her mind-her

spendthrift cousin, Zane. Due to his hobby, he had developed into an excellent Ul artist. His works were

lively and creative, not necessarily the best on the market, but certainly the most

innovative.

Innovation could capture the players’ attention.

Evelyn didn’t dare to take the risk of hiring an artist who could be easily bought by Colin at any time.

After dealing with the files at hand, she went straight to her uncle ‘s house.

Lucy opened the door, she was surprised when she saw Evelyn. Her smile seemed forced.

“Is something wrong?”

Lucy quickly shook her head, ‘Nothing. Come in.”

Evelyn nodded suspiciously. As soon as she entered, she noticed an eerie and heavy atmosphere.

Quinton leaned on the corner of the sofa, bloodshot eyes filled with exhaustion. Quetzal was staring

intently at a broken piggy bank in front of her with had red eyes.

“Aunt, is this what you call ‘nothing wrong’?” Evelyn turned around.

Lucy choked up, and Quinton and Quetzal looked up simultaneously, as if they had just

noticed Evelyn’s arrival.

“Evelyn.” Quinton called out.

Quetzal couldn’t hide her feelings. She cried and rushed into Evelyn’s arms. “Evelyn, my brother, my

brother is such a jerk.”
