“I’ve given it some thought. The terms I offered earlier were too low. If I pull this off, I want no less than 20% of the shares. Can we agree on that?”

Tobias was speechless bin /bshock.

I never expected this! Kaia’s target is actually Lucien!

But how could Lucien ever be interested in her? She’s the woman even his nephew rejected!

“DOL ollist. Lucien is beyond your reach.” /li/ol

Kaia stared straight into Tobias‘ eyes, enunciating each word.

“And if I seed?b” /b

Tobias gulped, “If you seed, I’ll agree!”

“Good! Words alone aren’t binding. Let’s draft a new agreement and get it notarized.”

With a surge of impulsive determination, Tobias clenched his teeth and agreed, “Fine!”

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Kimberly had been waiting for Tobias’s call, but there was no

news.

She had thought that at the very least, after learning the truth, Tobias wouldn’t make them stay in this shabby apartment

anymore.

This apartment is nothingpared to the luxurious vi back home.

Kimberly was still waiting to go back andugh at Kaia’s misfortune.

“Momb, /bdo you think Dad’s gone mad? He knows the truth now,

why won’t he let us go home?”

Sally, however, was thinking much further ahead than Kimberly.

“Kim, we won’t be moving back anytime soon. You’d better prepare yourself.”

The moment they were forced out of the old house, Sally had braced herself for this.

“Kaja must have made some deal with your father that we don’t know about. She’s silver–tongued, but that’s her only strength. So we don’t even need to do anything–just wait for her to crash

Sally’s reassurance immediately calmed Kimberly.

“You’re right, Imph, that bitch is only good at talking!”

Sally smiled, “You need to seize this opportunity as the bridesmaid, understand? Whether you can make a stunningeback depends on that day!”

Kimberly brightened. “Mom, do you have a n?”

The n wasn’t fully formed yet, but she simply wanted Kimberly to make a more dazzling appearance,

“Talk to Luna and see if we can prepare our own bridesmaid ollies. Assure her you won’t steal her spotlight.” /li/ol

But she was determined to make Kimberly the second most eye–catching presence at the event, after the bride.

After her confrontation with Tobias, Kaia returned to thew firm to continue working.

Jude called her into his office as soon as she arrived.

“Graves Group has scheduled a meeting for 2 p.m. I’ve already submitted the Due Diligence report you worked onst time. They should have also received the financial and operational due diligence reports.

“The meeting this afternoon will likely discuss the due diligence findings, risk points, and the next steps for valuation. The CEO will probably attend. Warren has a court hearing this afternoon and can’t make it, so you’ll apany me.”

Kain as thrilled. “Great!”

Even if she was just a supporting role, she could learn a lot from a high–stakes merger like this. She was more than happy to go.

“However, be prepared–we’ll likely have to work weekends for the next few weeks.”

Kaia frowned slightly. “Starting this weekend?”

“Most likely. It depends on the oue of today’s discussion.”

“What, do you have a date?” Jude teased.

She forced augh. “No, it’s not a date.”

This time, it took half an hour before he responded.

Lucien: [Alright, understood.]

Kai: it a sigh of relief.

As awyer herself, she hated being stood up, so when she had to cancel ns, she made sure to be as polite as possible— especially when the person was Lucien.

Vanessa looked at Kaia enviously. “You’re getting another

chance to learn from Jude.”

Kaia smiled, “You’ll get your chance too.”

Vanessa had to admit Kaia earned her position through merit.

She sighed, “With my mediocre skills, I’d be grateful if he doesn’t kick me off the team. This infringement case has been giving me a headachetely.”

“What infringement case?”

Vanessa spread her hands. “Do you know who my client is suing?”

Kaia was curious. “Who?”

“The girlfriend of Alfly Entertainment’s boss! Tell me, how am I supposed to win this?”

Luna?
