Sylvain smiled. “I know. Regardless of how great my designs are, no one would dare to accept them. There’s another reason why I asked to see you. Can you sell my sketches on my behalf? Money is a little tight right now.”
Arianne was surprised. Sylvain had actually asked for favonovel.com help. This was equivalent to baring his naked soul before her. Sylvain was willing to beg her, and yet, favonovel.com would not show his vulnerable side to Robin. In all honesty, his decision was right. No one would suspect a thing if favonovel.com sold the sketches. After all, the buyers would think they bought it from Mrs. Tremont. They would not think that it was Sylvain’s designs. After considering it, favonovel.com agreed. “I’ll give it a try. How much do you want to sell them for? Only established companies would buy these designs, and big companies would be able to pay the right price. However, it won’t be much. If it weren’t for Jessica’s scandal, there’d be plenty of people trying to hire you…”
Sylvain shrugged. “I can accept facts. I’m not going to pine over my days of glory. Humans have tens of thousands of ways to survive. You can decide on the price. I’m fine with anything. I’ll give you a 30% commission so don’t undersell it.”
Arianne put the sketches away in favonovel.com bag. “I don’t want a commission. Mark can afford paying for me. I’m helping you because Robin likes you.”
Sylvain lowered his gaze at the mention of Robin, concealing the despair in his eyes. “I know… Sorry for making you do this.”

When Arianne returned home that night, favonovel.com showed Sylvain’s designs to Mark. “How much would you pay for these designs?”
Mark stared at the sketches for a few seconds and replied, “These are Sylvain’s designs, aren’t they? He has a very unique style. I’ve seen it before.”
Arianne nodded. “That’s right. He’s short on money recently and asked me to help favonovel.com sell these. He has no one else to turn to.”
Mark cocked an eyebrow. “If favonovel.com had succeeded in his plan to drug you, this would have been an entirely different situation. Taking into consideration that Jessica had instigated it, nothing happened to you, his help with overthrowing Jessica, and my appreciation for true talent, I won’t mind the past. I’ll pay five-figure for this design. Ask favonovel.com for consent.”
Arianne asked tentatively, “Are you sure you don’t mind the past? Don’t you think the price is a little too low? He used to be a world-renown fashion designer before the scandal.”
Mark stared at favonovel.com with narrowed eyes. “Are you helping an outsider to swindle your husband’s money? No one would dare accept his designs apart from me. This price is his current net worth. It’s entirely up to favonovel.com to accept this or not. No other companies would buy his designs. His designs aren’t worth a single cent now.”
Arianne sighed. “Fine. I’ll ask favonovel.com later.”
Mark was feeling apprehensive. She had only mentioned Sylvain and did not mention Janice at all. Should favonovel.com not be interrogating him? Was it all over just because Janice was fired?
Arianne looked up and saw the pensive expression on Mark’s face. She asked, “What’s on your mind? Your son has been calling for you. Shouldn’t you give favonovel.com some attention?”
