The day it was passed quickly.

Be spent her entire afternoon engrossed in reports about Ster Entertainment.

The more she read, the dizzier she felt, realizing thepany’s dire state.

Some directors acted as sugar daddies for Ster Entertainment’s young talent. Surprisingly, they are usingpany funds instead of their own.

Ster Entertainment often paid hefty prices for poor results, mainly when directors utilized their familypanies for various projects.

To make matters worse, the CFO of Ster Entertainment even produced a movie based on his son’s trash script, which flopped in the market and caused significant losses.

All this time, the financial reports sent to the head office didn’t reflect the reality here.

Be felt fortunate to have Stefan, who uncovered their deceitful under-the-table agreement.

Now, she only needed to wait for Sam’s report. She required more evidence to dismiss and sue them for embezzling funds from herpany.

She vowed to ensure they left with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

...

A sinister smile crept across Be’s face as she closed herptop and stood up from her chair, peering outside to bless her eyes with a beautiful blue sky.

However, Be’s mind was still filled withpany matters.

’Did Jack know that his friend, whom he entrusted to run Quantum Capital and Ster Entertainment, was betraying him? Stabbing him from behind!?’ This thought had bothered her.

Ster Entertainment wasn’t a newpany in this country. It had been established seven years ago. She could imagine the amount of money they’d stolen.

Be had only checked one subsidiarypany and discovered numerous financial problems. She hoped the others weren’t as troublesome as Ster Entertainment.

She sighs deeply.

"That poor Jack will be shocked if he knows all this..."

Be no longer has the energy to read all those documents. She decides to return home after she gets a text from her son.

[Baby Dax] Mommy, what time will you return home?

[Baby Dax] I miss you, Mommy (Cry emoji)

How could she stay longer in the office if her baby texted her like that? She can’t resist his cuteness. Well, nobody can.

Be tidied her table quickly and then asked Sam to prepare a car for her in the lobby.

While heading to the elevator, Be called Dax. Her smile grew wider when she heard his cute and cheerful voice from the other end.

"Hello, Mommy... what time do you go home?"

"Baby, I’m finished now and have just to enter the elevator. I will arrive home before you know it…" She smiles when she hears his excited cheers. "Did you take a nap?"

"Yes, I just woke up and texted you."

"Alright, I will arrive home soon."

Be ended the call when she arrived at the lobby.

Her cell phone rang again before she exited the main entrance. She was suprised to see the caller.

She was reluctant to pick up, staring at her phone for a few seconds.

"Hi, Tristan... What is it?"

"Why do you sound unhappy picking up my call?" Tristan’s voice rang from the other end, surprised Be.

She looked around and found a familiar car that had just stopped in the lobby.

"Tr-Tristan? Why did you co—" Be couldn’t finish her words. She was too shocked to see Tristaning to her office.

She was worried that someone might recognize him. However, suddenly, Laura Kiels shed in her mind. She dismisses her worry with a sour smile.

’Geez, Be... This man didn’te to meet you. Hees to meet his woman...’

How could she have thought this man woulde to pick her up? It was impossible, right!?

However, just as Be wanted to tease him about Laura Kiels, she heard Tristan say,

"Get in my car. We will head home together..."

’What the hell?’ Be can’t help but curse. ’Hees to pick me up? Seriously!?’

She narrowed her eyes at the car’s back row. Even though she couldn’t see through the thick, dark window, she believed Tristan was staring back at her.

"If you don’t enter my car now, I wille out and greet you there," Tristan said casually, but Be instantly worried. "I came here after receiving our son’s phone call. Dax asked me to pick you up." he smiled, remembering this was one of Dax’s ideas.

Dax ns all of this, ensuring his parents return home together. He even contacted Dn to empty Tristan’s schedule at noon.

"NO! Don’t ever step out of your car, Tristan!" Be scolded him quickly, afraid someone would see him. "You stay there. I need to talk with my driver."

Beep!

After ending the call, she walked toward Sam, who was now waiting for her.

"Sam, you don’t have to drive me home. I will go home with someone," Be said. She silently took a deep breath before continuing. "You can continue your investigation and report to me if you find something suspicious."

"Yes, boss..." Sam slightly nods. After seeing Be enter the luxury car, he returned to the building.

...

Tristan tried to keep a straight face, holding back the urge to smile when Be sat beside him. He was amazed by his son’s brilliant idea.

After the vehicle left the building, he turned to Be and said, "Please don’t me me for suddenly appearing here. I was only following our son’s request."

Be narrowed her eyes at him. She doubts it.

Tristan chuckled before reassuring her, "I couldn’t refuse our son’s request. When he called me, I happened to be passing by your office. You can ask him if you don’t believe me..."

Be took a deep breath. She was annoyed but couldn’t take her frustration out on him.

They both fell silent.

Be turned her gaze out the window, avoiding Tristan’s gaze.

She tried to enjoy the view outside. After so many things happened today, she just needed to rest her mind. She slowly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

But, not long after, Tristan’s voice was heard again.

"Are you still annoyed with me? Alright, I will call Dax now—"

"No need," Be stopped him. She turns her gaze to see him, "I believe you."
