Chapter 255:
If the core project was of such low quality, could it imply that the entire collaboration between Skyline Group and the Campbell family was subpar?
Jacoby was pleased with the people’s hesitation. He exchanged a knowing smile with Rolland, subtly encouraging him to continue his critique.
Simultaneously, he secretly got in touch with Zeke.
Releasing Zeke’s slanderous article would certainly tarnish Ashton’s and Rosalie’s reputations among Inewood’s wealthy families.
Combined with Rolland’s disparaging remarks, there was no doubt this would devastate the project.
Such a failure would not only reflect poorly on the project but also harm Skyline Group’s reputation overall. This could allow Sup Group to seize economic dominance in Inewood.
Rosalie was aware of their malicious intentions, and she now found herself in a difficult position.
Rejecting Rolland’s request would suggest fear of his criticism and implicitly confirm the project’s lack of merit.
Left with no alternative, she reluctantly agreed to lead them to the main hall that she and Ashton had meticulously prepared.
Upon entering the hall, many investors were impressed by the layout, which was both perfect and immersive.
However, Rolland still expressed disdain, snorting dismissively. “Miss Campbell, is this the design you’re proud to showcase? If so, I must be honest; it’s painfully plain and unsightly. I actually thought a child created this when I first saw it!”
Rosalie and Ashton had dedicated immense effort to decorating the exhibition hall. When she heard her hard work dismissed as worthless, her usual composure faltered.
Unable to restrain herself, she challenged Rolland.

“Since you find our design mediocre, what would you propose instead? I’d appreciate hearing your ideas on what constitutes advanced design.”
Rolland snorted and maintained an aloof demeanor, choosing not to respond.
Many attendees did admire the design of the exhibition hall, and Rosalie continued to defend it staunchly. But given Rolland’s esteemed reputation, those present were inclined to take his criticism seriously.
This swayed the crowd to view the design as lackluster, leaving them visibly disappointed.
A somber and awkward mood enveloped the exhibition hall. In contrast, Jacoby, representing Sup Group, wore a satisfied smile.
If this perception persisted, Skyline Group risked falling significantly behind Sup Group in their ongoing rivalry.
Ashton observed Jacoby and Rolland as they carried out their schemes, maintaining an unruffled composure. The tension in the air had reached a peak, signaling that it was time for him to act.
Ashton gently patted Rosalie’s shoulder before posing his question.
