Chapter 129 Chapter 129 My face turned extremely unsightly .
This isnt my design draft .
I didnt create this .
Wait a moment .
I said .
After saying that , I hurriedly went upstairs to get my notebook .
On my computer , I had backup copies of the scanned design drafts .
I came back downstairs with my notebook , quickly opened my computer , retrieved the design draft from this competition , and then turned the notebook towards Lukas .
This is the design draft I submitted that day .
Seeing the design draft in the notebook , Lukas let out a sigh of relief .
This was the level I should have .
Lukas noticed my anxious and angry expression and asked , So , what do you think went wrong that led to your design draft being replaced ? My face looked grim as I tried to recall the situation from that day .
After I finished drawing the design draft , I packed it up and took it to the front desk to send by express delivery .
The companys deliveries are handled uniformly by the front desk , so any of the subsequent steps could have gone wrong .
There are three possibilities for the design draft being swapped : either an issue with the front desk , a problem during the delivery process , or someone at the Morning Light Jewelry Competition receiving the package and swapping it , I calmly analyzed .
Lukas observed me and was impressed by my ability to remain composed despite the urgency of the situation .
He raised an eyebrow , Even if youre right , the first possibility is relatively easy to investigate since it happened within the company .
We can check the surveillance anytime .
However , the other two possibilities are not so easy .
I suddenly looked up at Lukas , Will the company get involved in this matter ? I asked .
Lukas stared at me and fell silent for two seconds before nodding , Yes , the company will get involved .
The company doesnt allow incidents like the swapping of drafts .
This not only affects the reputation of a designer but also the companys reputation .
He said .
I breathed a sigh of relief .
Thats good .
Although I could investigate and face this matter all by myself , If the company can help with the investigation , I would be very grateful .
I said .
Lukas snorted , No need to be grateful .
Its the companys responsibility .
However , have you thought about what might have happened if I hadnt found out from someone else that it was your submitted design draft ? Your skill would have been questioned .
How do you think the situation would have developed then ? I calmly replied , If I were eliminated in the preliminary round , no one would know what kind of design draft I submitted .
Lukas glanced at me , You are quite self aware .
I looked at him calmly , Its just obvious .
However , according to your analysis , its clear that the person who swapped the design draft wanted me to be eliminated in the preliminaries without anyone noticing .
Her intention was probably to prevent me from winning the competition , right ? I said in a calm voice .
Lukas raised an eyebrow in surprise .
He didnt expect me to deduce his speculation so accurately .
He said , Then think carefully , who wouldnt want you to win ? 16:11 Escape From My Step Brothers Dangerous Obsession 79.0 % Chapter 129 With a serious expression , I thought for a while before shaking my head , I dont know .
Many people might not want me to win , including Alexa or even people within the company .
After all , peoples hearts are inscrutable , and I cant be sure .
I said .
I definitely held a grudge against Alexa , whose reputation me ruined in the public eye .
Alexa was undoubtedly one of the people who wouldnt want me to win , but I couldnt be certain if Alexa was behind this incident .
I still needed to investigate .
After all , Alexas influence might not reach that far .
Lukass expression didnt look good .
Since thats the case , lets investigate .
As for the draft , print the backup design drafts from your computer and submit them for evaluation .
On your side , try to recreate the original draft as much as possible .
When the time comes , if you win , the Morning Light Jewelry Competition will require the original draft for display .
As for the matter of the design draft being swapped , Ill explain the situation to the competition judges .
He stated .
I nodded , Thank you , Mr.
Strakovski .
Lukas coldly snorted .
Looking at my face , he thought of last nights grievances , making him even more displeased .
At this moment , Lukass phone rang .
I wanted to tell Lukas about last nights situation but saw him walking toward the floor to ceiling window with his phone .

I got up , took my notebook , and went to print the design drafts .
The call was from Martins .
He said , Mr.
Strakovski , about last nights incident , it was caused by a waiter at the banquet .
However , the person vanished overnight , as if they disappeared from the face of the earth .
I havent been able to find them yet .
But based on initial judgment , it seems to be the work of the Rivers Familys enemies .
Several other women present at the banquet last night were also affected , so its not just Miss Lopez .
The effects of the drug take some time to manifest , with symptoms appearing after about an hour or more , varying from person to person .
Last night , several couples had to leave the banquet early due to this reason .
I only found out about it today , and several people are investigating in thi matter .
Lukass expression became heavy , as the reality was different from what he had anticipated .
He had thought that someone was targeting me , but he hadnt expected that there would be so many victims affected .
It was unlikely that anyone would be so foolish as to offend so many people at once , except for their enemies .
Lukas considered it for a moment before instructing Martins , Send me the list of names of those affected last night .
Although it appeared that the incident might not be specifically targeted at me , he still wanted to investigate further .
Aside from asking Martins to provide the list of guests affected , he also assigned him the task of investigating the swapping of my design draft .
After hanging up the phone , Lukas glanced at the list , and his pupils slightly contracted when he saw a familiar name .
