Chapter 82 I Choose RaineÂ
Fergus was in such pain that sweat beaded on his forehead.Â
He wanted to break into a bout of curses, but he had no choice other than to rein it in at the thought of Martha in the living room nearby. He looked down at his hands, which were hanging limply at his side, feeling immeasurable resentment.Â
Nancy, on the other hand, casually returned to the living room. While everyone was resting after the meal, Raine looked at Nancy with a smile.Â
“Since you’re back, Nancy, how about we go to the office?” she suggested.Â
“Now?” asked Nancy.Â
“Yes. By the time we arrive, the employees will have also finished their lunch break. It’s the perfect opportunity to talk about this matter.”Â
“Sure.”Â
Raine looked over to the side. “Where’s Fergie?”Â
Nancy replied curtly, “I don’t know.”Â
After exchanging a few words with Martha, she left to get back to her car.Â
No matter how hard Raine looked, she couldn’t find Fergus anywhere. As such, she had no choice but to get the driver, Asher Norman, to send her to the company.Â
It was a pity. She’d originally wanted to show off how well Fergus treated her.Â
Lidell Group could only be considered a second–tier business conglomerate in Riversdale.Â
There were many other such companies in Riversdale of a similar scale. Nevertheless, LidellÂ
Group was located in a rather decent spot close to the central business district.Â
Raine made her way to the design department with the ease of familiarity.Â
“Good afternoon, everyone!” she chirped sweetly.Â
“Ms. Lidell!”Â
“You’re here, Ms. Lidell, Are you planning to rejoin the design department?”Â
Everyone greeted Raine enthusiastically. She was practically royalty within the company, afterÂ
all.Â
Raine smiled and replied, “Yes, and I’m also here to inform everyone of something.”Â
She looked behind her at Nancy and called out in a singsong voice, “Nancy!”Â

The address made everyone look curiously toward Nancy. Her tall, slender figure and beautiful face caused shock to paint the features of quite a few people.Â
“Who’s this?”Â
Raine explained, “This is my elder sister, Nancy Moore. You might not know this, but Nancy was taken when she was a child and was only recently found. Nancy and I will both form teams to complete the development of the new products this time.Â
“Everyone is free to choose which team they’d like to join. In the end, the team with the better performance will be rewarded.”Â
The designers were surprised to hear this and fell into a thoughtful silence.Â
Then, someone asked, “Is your sister a fashion design major?”Â
Raine blinked and looked curiously at Nancy. “I don’t know either. Have you ever attended university, Nancy?”Â
Nancy couldn’t be bothered to deal with Raine’s antics and simply replied, “Although I didn’t major in fashion design, I have some understanding of it. I can improve on your designs to the greatest extent possible.”Â
“Are youÂ
serious?” a designer by the name of Ethan Russell asked suspiciously, then handed Nancy one of his own sketches. “Can you help me revise this design?”Â
Nancy only looked at the design for a few seconds before picking up her pen and modifying the outline with a few strokes.Â
After seeing the design, Ethan’s eyes widened.Â
Everyone else crowded around him to look, feeling incredibly curious as well.Â
Raine glanced at the modified design and was rather surprised.Â
So, Nancy actually did have some understanding of fashion design?Â
That wouldn’t do. Her own team had to be the larger of their two teams!Â
“Oh, my. Were you actually that amazing, Nancy? I think it’s still a little lacking, though. How about this?” she asked, picking up the pen and further modifying the design.Â
After seeing her modifications, Ethan instantly felt that the initially stunning design had now become rather mediocre.Â
Raine smiled and asked, “What do you think?”Â
“I…” Ethan trailed off, then bit the bullet and replied, “I think it’s pretty decent.”Â

Everyone immediately started flattering Raine. “In the end, Ms. Lidell is the best!”Â
Someone immediately added, “I want to join Raine’s team!”Â
Seeing this, everyone else instantly started chiming in as well for fear that they would be left behind. “Me too!”Â
On the one hand, there was Raine, who graduated from a prestigious school and had quite the talent for design. The Lidell family had also always doted on her. On the other hand, there was Nancy, whom the employees didn’t know very well.Â
Naturally, everyone would choose Raine over Nancy. It wasn’t difficult to understand Raine’s implication that Nancy had only recently returned from the countryside either.Â
