"You've been spoiled at home, Aurelia. What happened with Clara Yates is Daddy's fault for not protecting you..."

"What we're discussing has nothing to do with that. If there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up. Remember to transfer the money to my account."

Aurelia was about to hang up.

Balthazar called her urgently: "Aurelia! I know you don't want to hear her name, but can you let Daddy finish his words? So many years have passed, and even if you don't want to forgive Daddy, can you at least listen to what's on his heart?"

Aurelia's finger hesitated and stopped.

"I know, Clara sometimes intentionally indulges your temper. I also have selfish motives; I want to make up for you. Girls should be pampered. When you insisted on marrying Mason Nightshade, I thought with his attitude at the time, you would probably get divorced soon. After all, everyone at home spoiled you, and at the Nightshade Family, you'd definitely face grievances. This divorce was within my expectations. Don't worry about the Nightshade Family; maybe... you two really weren't meant for each other."

Finally, Balthazar said something thought-provoking.

Aurelia's eyes dimmed a little.

Balthazar's voice came again: "I know what Jovana did to you. They won't pull anything behind your back anymore. After your divorce from Mason Nightshade, come back to live at home. If you really don't like having them around, I'll buy them a place to live outside."

"Okay," Aurelia responded softly.

Balthazar didn't expect Aurelia to agree so easily and was momentarily at a loss for words out of excitement, "I... I'll call home right away and have the butler change your sheets to new ones and buy you this year's latest fashion, no—I'll personally go buy you a comfortable bed."

Listening to the excitement in the voice over the phone, Aurelia's lips curved slightly.

Perhaps in these years, she had truly missed a lot.

Since Jovana so desperately wanted to take her things, she would let her personally experience just how effortlessly she could retrieve everything Jovana had tried so hard to take from her. She intended to make her taste an unprecedented sense of defeat and helplessness, to make her envious yet powerless.

Ding—

In the afternoon, she asked Andrew Kennedy if he wanted to come to her company, and only then did she get a reply.

"Why do you think I'd go?" Andrew asked.

"You terminated your previous company contract, and you're currently not under any company. For long-term development, you should sign with a company that can manage everything outside of acting properly for you. Although Tyler Thomas is very capable, he can't handle so many things at once."

Aurelia seriously analyzed for him.

Andrew: "Then why do you think I should choose your company? You just registered it, and who knows how the operations will go. Why should I bypass established companies to sign with a newly registered one?"

"Behind the company is the support of both the Johnson Group and the Shaw Clan Corporation. The resources and operations are absolutely no worse than elsewhere. If you come here, you'll be treated as a veteran figure; the company won't wrong you. If you have concerns, you can investigate the company or have Tyler discuss terms with the staff."

Sitting on set, Andrew squinted slightly, noting that she didn't mention Nightshade Corporation. Does this mean something happened between her and Mason Nightshade?

"What do you plan to do?" Tyler asked him, having also seen the content on WeChat.

"What do you think?" Andrew retorted, with a smile on his lips, "Anyway, it doesn't matter which company I'm under. It feels nice to do her a favor."
