Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 493: Milton's narrowed eyes reflected determination. "I underestimated Bart in the past. From now on, we need to keep a close watch on him. Regardless of his intentions, I won't allow him to succeed." Assured, Raul nodded. "Don't worry. I've already dispatched someone to monitor his activities. Your enemies are my enemies." "By the way, Milton, I forgot to ask. Are you truly considering Sigrid as the new creative director of Royal Garden Corporation?" Raul inquired. "Yes." Milton raised his eyebrows. "Any issues? She used to be my senior in college.

I know her capabilities, strengths, and qualifications. Now that Royal Garden Corporation has expanded to include over a dozen top fashion brands, it requires top designers. If she is willing to join, why should I decline?" Raul found himself momentarily at a loss for words. There was some truth to Milton's perspective. Although Milton respected Sigrid, she might not share the same sentiment. Wasn't Milton afraid of causing unnecessary conflicts? "Have you ever considered why Sigrid transitioned from being a renowned painter to a designer?

Given her love for art, why not focus solely on painting? Why did she move to design?" Raul inquired. Wearing an indifferent expression, Milton replied, "Her thoughts are none of my concern. I need a designer, and she desires to be one. I'll pay her, and she will attain fame and fortune. Why should I dwell on such a simple question?" Milton's response left Raul speechless. Perhaps Sigrid's actions weren't solely driven by money. The Olson family was of noble status and had no shortage of wealth. Considering how much had been insinuated, it was best to let it go if Milton couldn't grasp it.

Do you know how long it took me to design that new office? And now, you've given it away to someone else! Where do you expect me to work?" Milton looked at Raul and played his trump card. "You can always return to your family's company." Raul felt a surge of frustration. Damn it! Milton had taken advantage of his vulnerability and had him under control. Candice returned to Hope Law Firm after leaving Milton's office. On her way back, she made a quick stop at the restroom. . . .
