Chapter 254:
Observing this scene, Ashton glanced at Jacoby, who was grinning with unmistakable satisfaction.
It appeared that the trap was about to spring shut on the unsuspecting target.
Suddenly overhearing some sarcastic remarks, Rosalie turned to identify the speaker.
She observed a man exuding arrogance, scanning the exhibition hall entrance design with obvious contempt. With each feature he viewed, he shook his head, his disdain growing deeper, suggesting he found Rosalie’s carefully crafted details to be without merit. Rosalie’s expression darkened due to his attitude.
Nevertheless, she maintained her composure and addressed him politely. “Sir, could you please tell me which family you represent and share any suggestions you might have for our project?”
The man gave a dismissive snort and responded, “You don’t recognize me? That explains the poor quality of your work!”
Standing beside him, Jacoby took the opportunity to introduce the critic. “Let me introduce him properly. This is Rolland Lowell, a master of architectural design from Tacland.”
This introduction caused a stir among the attendees.
It now made sense why he was dressed so distinctively. He was a celebrated architect from Tacland.
Rolland’s eminent status quickly caught the attention of many investors and partner representatives gathered around.
The crowd found themselves nodding along with Rolland’s critiques, and some even praised him. “No wonder you’re an art master from Tacland. Your discerning taste is something we ordinary folks don’t possess. You spot problems immediately!”
Upon hearing their praise, Rolland sneered and turned his gaze to Rosalie.

“Miss Campbell, I presume you wouldn’t mind giving me a tour of your project, would you?”
Rosalie felt the weight of everyone’s eyes on her, giving her a subtle sense of threat.
Despite her reluctance, she forced a smile and replied, “Since you’re interested, we’d be pleased to host you.”
Rosalie suspected that Rolland had ulterior motives. From the moment he entered, he had been critical of the project’s design.
For some details, when he couldn’t find any fault, he simply dismissed them as outdated.
Rolland’s expression turned to one of disappointment as he addressed her. “Miss Campbell, if this is the project you take pride in, I must express my disappointment. However, I am curious about the main hall you recently finished. Please, lead the way and show us.”
Rolland’s negative stance began to influence others. Some potential investors started to waver, reconsidering their commitments.
They all knew that the history museum project was crucial to the entire initiative.
