Flabbergasted, Heidi glanced at Kate who was also smiling. She couldn't mask her confusion. “Why, Suzie?”“I think I know why, Ms. Olsen.” Isla beamed. “You see, StriveStyle Co.'s glory has also contributed to Ms. Anderson's fame. It's ridiculous, right? But everyone online is praising Ms. Anderson for stepping in boldly and helping to revive the brand.”“I've never been this satisfied with my job before.” Kate chuckled. “Heidi, I have a crazy idea. What if I become a shareholder in this brand? Then I can work solely for the brand. I'm tired of juggling from one brand to another anyway. I want something of my own; by focusing alone on StriveStyle Co., and maybe someday I'll acquire it.”Kate's big offer was mind-blowing, prompting Heidi and Isla to let out a gasp.“That will be a good idea,” Suzie agreed. “Steve Anderson has broken into the business world in Phoenix City. Since he's going to live here for a while, I think it's better to have Kate stay here too.”“Come on, Suzie!” Kat

…On The Day of the Gala.The largest hall of the grandest hotel in Phoenix City echoed with indistinct chatter, laughter, and the sounds of glass clinking in cheers.There were so many people in one place.So many reputable businessmen and women dressed in outstanding outfits, obviously out to impress.Such an event occurred occasionally in Phoenix City, but this was the first time Heidi was attending one again after many many years.It's scary how things had changed a lot.The last time Heidi was in this kind of gathering was during the time her Grandma was still alive.Her Grandma, who had wanted to groom Heidi to be like her someday, would always drag her to such places even at a very young age.“Ms. Olsen, this is the perfect time for you to mingle,” Isla said, pulling Heidi's thoughts away from reminiscing the past memories. “All the great businessmen and women of Phoenix City are here, there's no doubt we can make some allies.”Heidi grabbed a glass of wine from a passing waite

Lucas's eyes were fixed directly on hers, his intense gaze making Heidi's heart beat at a random pace.Thinking and hoping the man would ignore her, he walked in her direction, and Heidi had the urge to turn around and flee.“What are you doing here, Heidi?” Was the first question he asked when he approached her.“What else would bring Heidi here, Honey?” Tracy said in an innocent jovial tone, holding Lucas's arm protectively as if marking her territory. “There are so many big wigs at this party, this is a perfect opportunity for a girl like Heidi to make some cash. Oh, I think Steve Anderson brought her. Didn't we see him a while ago?”Lucas's expression was indescribable, his eyes flashing with disbelief and something else. “Heidi, did you come to this place with Steve Anderson?”His tone sounded more like a scolding.Heidi wanted to reply when Steve approached.Steve looked from Heidi to Lucas, a doubtful look in his eyes. “Is he bothering you, Heidi?” Lucas glared at him. “What g

Curious and confused, Heidi followed the direction of the voices.The two people seemed to be discussing inside the washroom, and the female voice belonged to Tracy.“Ha! Perfect! From tonight, Lucas Harrison will no longer resist me!”“Why are you also drinking it, Ms. Carlson?”“To make it more realistic.”The more Heidi listened to their words, the more confused she got.What was Tracy speaking about?Was it something regarding Lucas's well-being? Was Lucas in trouble?Heidi found herself walking further down the hallway, passing by many doors. Not to avoid Tracy, but to use the other elevator because this one was suddenly full.Whatever Lucas and Tracy were up to wasn't part of her business, was it?She was almost near the elevator, her footsteps echoing in the hallway. “Ah!”Out of nowhere, strong hands grabbed her arm and pulled her inside a room.Heidi yelped, her heart racing, her eyes staring back at dark squinted eyes. “Lucas Harrison, are you crazy?”Lucas caged her betwe

Harold looked from his phone to everyone, his face ghastly pale. For a few seconds, he couldn't find his voice.He finally opened his mouth and broke the shocking news to everyone. At least, Heidi wasn't shocked by the news.“Congratulations, Heidi! What you planned is coming true! Now everyone wants to pull out their investments in AG Group, demanding justice.”Heidi only gave him a smile, acting indifferent.Harold became more enraged. Pointing a trembling finger forward, he shouted, “You can keep on dreaming about becoming the CEO, though! And if anything happens to the AG Group, Heidi! You'll wish you never came back!”“Enough, Harold!” Caleb pulled Heidi behind him. “Leave Heidi alone, will you? You went back on your promise to her, you can't deny it.”“My husband did not make any promises!” As always, Beatrice would surely take her husband's side despite just realizing he stole a valuable treasure from the family. “Oh, didn't he?” Regina raised a brow. “You blame Heidi for ever
