Chapter 170: Chapter 169 Designing a Necklace for Isla Sutton

"No, the ones I play are all about intelligence, or protecting you guys. I’m a real man."

Fatty responded quickly.

He immediately understood that Ivy River was teasing him.

Ivy River laughed, "I thought you were playing these games for Ann, but I guess not. Seems like Ann isn’t that important to you after all."

"Hmph, Mommy, don’t try to stir things up. I’m not talking to you anymore!"

After saying this, Fatty leaned back, tilted his little head, and looked out the window without speaking.

Everyone laughed heartily.

Only Ann looked cautiously at Fatty, then her little face turned red again.

...

That evening.

When Ivy River got home, she went straight to the study to get busy.

No one knew what she was working on.

But everyone tacitly decided not to disturb her.

At nine o’clock.

Leon Peterson came to Ivy River’s house, played with Fatty and the others for a while, then went to the study.

Madeline Woods was baffled, wanting to go upstairs to see what they were doing, but Fatty directly stopped her, not letting her disturb Ivy River upstairs.

Leon Peterson knocked and entered.

"Boss, what do you need me for?"

Ivy River spoke with indifference, "Contact Isla Sutton, and tell her that a draft of the design is ready. Let her have a look and pay the balance."

Leon Peterson nodded and opened his tablet.

Seeing Ivy River’s completed draft, he couldn’t help but exclaim, "Boss, this isn’t just a draft; it’s practically a finished piece. I don’t want to give it to Isla Sutton, afraid she’ll take it and run."

"No need to worry, if she doesn’t pay up, I’ll take the contract to Edwin Blake. If she won’t pay, someone else will cover it. Don’t worry."

Ivy River replied with confidence.

Leon Peterson still wasn’t reassured, "Why not give her half first, and when the balance is paid, we give the other half? This is your hard work after all."

Ivy River waved her hand dismissively, "Contact her. Butterfly elements and purple color schemes are my pet peeves. I’ve already designed products like these before, and I don’t like them at all now."

Leon Peterson couldn’t argue with her, helplessly using the tablet to contact Isla Sutton.

Ivy River glanced over, "Start a video call later; if she insists on seeing it, show her my design through the video. I’ll disguise you first."

"Watching the design draft through the camera only gives a vague idea, even if it’s screenshotted, it’s pretty blurry. Boss, you’re smart!"

Leon Peterson couldn’t help but give Ivy River a thumbs-up.

Shortly after.

Isla Sutton called.

Leon Peterson, now in disguise, glanced at Ivy River and answered the video call.

"Hello, Ms. Lynn. Is the design draft ready?"

Leon Peterson cleared his throat, "It’s me. Your design draft is ready, but you need to pay the balance first. How soon can you settle it?"

Isla Sutton was stunned.

Hearing Leon Peterson continue, "I’ve looked it over, the draft is already perfect, with no major issues; it just needs coloring. You should know Lynn’s skill."

"I understand, but weren’t we supposed to pay the balance upon completion?"

Isla Sutton looked tangled, picking at buttons on her clothes.

Leon Peterson spoke coldly, "How about this, I’ll show you a quick preview on video; if there are any issues, we can make changes directly."

Isla Sutton frowned, "Is Lynn herself available? I’d like to talk to her."

"You can just talk to me; I’m her assistant, and she’s busy right now."

Leon Peterson directly opened his tablet, showing it to Isla Sutton.

Isla Sutton knew full well Lynn wouldn’t show herself.

Talented people generally like to put on airs.

"I genuinely want to collaborate with you; shouldn’t the draft at least be emailed to me? What’s going on with this approach?"

Leon Peterson was slightly angry, "Miss Sutton, we can choose not to collaborate with you; there are plenty out there who want to work with us. You were the one who begged my boss initially."

Isla Sutton was a bit unhappy, "I know that, but you should at least give me the draft, right? I’ve already paid tens of millions; surely we’re not falling out over a design draft?"

Leon Peterson ignored her and began showcasing the details.

"Here’s the butterfly you requested, Lynn arranged it for you, and here, the purple theme; it’ll all be in the final product. You just need to see the overall composition and details..."

Isla Sutton reluctantly glanced at the design draft.

She was stunned.

As expected of the world’s top designer.

The draft was so perfect already, she couldn’t imagine how comprehensive the final version would be.

"I think it’s alright, but for this detail, the popular element recently is butterflies with little bells. Could you add another accessory here? Like an ingot?"

Isla Sutton thought about recent products she had seen and suggested some changes.

Leon Peterson glanced at Ivy River, noting her calm expression.

Uh-oh.

This was a sign she was about to get angry.

He ventured, "Lynn primarily does original designs; if everything matches popular elements, that would be akin to plagiarism."

"Externally, it doesn’t feature Lynn’s name, now I’m the buyer. I need you to add such components and elements, please convey this to Lynn." Isla Sutton shook her head in refusal.

Leon Peterson tried to persuade her, "Original designs like these are enough; Lynn’s designs rarely include unnecessary embellishments. What you see as popular products have additions at first from simpler versions. Too many components on a bracelet can make it cumbersome..."

"You don’t need to explain. Just do as I say and ask Lynn," Isla Sutton stubbornly insisted.

Listening from the side, Ivy River’s patience had reached its limit.

She spoke coldly, "Isla Sutton, we’re just in a cooperative relationship, you need to understand that I do original designs. If you like those elements, you can create them yourself; why pay me a premium?"

Ivy River could not stand plagiarism.

Especially since those elements were her pet peeves.

Putting them on would make the wrist uncomfortable; the original idea of bracelets was to not interfere with daily work, being lightweight and attractive.

If they affect daily life.

Then obviously, the target consumers wouldn’t be the working class.

Seeing this, Isla Sutton quickly said, "Lynn, don’t be upset. I was mainly thinking that Nine Purple Fire with an ingot brings prosperity, it adds a better meaning."

Ivy River’s expression was indifferent, "You should be representing the company in the competition. If this design draft wins, the company will definitely mass-produce it."

"Your company’s target customers are mid-tier consumers, not wealthy socialites. First, you need to understand your company’s positioning, then design the products."

"If mid-tier consumers buy a bracelet with all these intricate decorations, won’t it hinder their work efficiency? Think about it logically."

Ivy River’s barrage of questions left Isla Sutton utterly dumbfounded. She spoke in a daze.

"How, how do you know me so well? Did you investigate me?"
