Besides, Vanguard Group was already firmly in Lucas’ hands.If the two of them could handle this themselves, why bother Philip?If word got out within the company, wouldn’t people start questioning Lucas’ capabilities?It was precisely because she had thought through all this that Aurora felt it was inappropriate.Lucas, however, didn’t press her for an explanation.He had understood this principle long ago.Listen to your wife, not question her behind her back.Instead of wasting time asking why, it was better to just act on what she said.Constantly pressing for reasons only added unnecessary pressure.Trust, from the very beginning, mattered most.“Then if we don’t involve Grandpa, do you have any other ideas?”Aurora asked instinctively.She couldn’t help feeling that since Lucas ran a major conglomerate, his perspective had to be broader than hers.Although she had held a managerial role at Walton Corporation, that was still relatively minor.It couldn’t be compared to Vanguard Gr

Lucas explained patiently, “If it were anyone else, with Edwin showing up like that, given his last name and his status, the first thought would be whether this was done on my instruction.”“You’re right. When you put it that way, we really do owe Mr. Smith an explanation.”Aurora nodded in agreement.After all, he was a partner she had chosen herself, and she understood very well what kind of person the director was.Since she had decided to work with him, she should trust him fully instead of questioning his sincerity.If the director hadn’t come to inform her and Lucas, the two of them might still be in the dark, unaware of what Edwin was planning to do next.People had to know how to be grateful.Aurora had always understood that principle, and with Lucas’ reminder, its importance felt even clearer.That was why she knew they had to treat the director with proper sincerity and respect.There were things one should do, and things one should not, Aurora had always kept that in mind.

At times, Yvonne found Edwin almost laughable—nothing more than a privileged heir leaning on his family name and Lucas’ influence.Yet he treated all of that as proof of his own ability.Sometimes she wanted to shatter that illusion for him.Without Lucas and the Carter family, Edwin amounted to nothing.She had no idea when he would finally understand that.But since she needed him right now, there was no point in spelling it out.Saying it outright would only waste her time and energy.At moments like this, Yvonne knew how to read the situation.“Alright. With you there, I feel a bit more at ease. I’ll pack up and head over now.”“Stop dragging your feet.”Edwin gave orders without a second thought. “Don’t waste time. We’re on a tight schedule. We need to catch him off guard.”For some reason, she felt something was off, though she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.With Edwin wearing that air of absolute confidence, she didn’t know what else to say.She knew all too well how self-

This time, she had even brought Edwin with her.Did that mean the two of them were after the same thing?The receptionist’s heart sank.Please don’t let it be what she was thinking.One Yvonne had already been hard enough to deal with. She had shown up day after day, relentless as ever.Now she’d brought a man with her.Did that mean double the firepower?What was she supposed to do?Was her career really going to end right here?The receptionist felt a knot form in her stomach. She truly didn’t want to see that happen.She liked this job. It was comfortable and stable.She wanted to beg these two walking disasters not to cause trouble.Could they please leave her alone?Sometimes, she honestly felt like kneeling and begging Yvonne to stop coming to the studio.She even wanted to beg the director.Why was he so determined not to see Yvonne?If he would just meet her once, none of this would be her problem.But she was only a receptionist.If she couldn’t even hold the line at the door,

The director sprang to his feet, shock written all over his face.How could the two of them move so fast, as if everything had happened in the blink of an eye?He hadn’t had any time to prepare at all.Weren’t they supposed to be people who cared about appearances?Was it really appropriate to show up downstairs and pull something like this?And even the front desk couldn’t stop them.If they barged in, what was he supposed to do?The more he thought about it, the more overwhelmed he felt.Just as he was about to call Aurora again, there was a knock at the door.“Mr. Smith, we know you’re inside.”The pounding sound echoed through the room, making his heart race.When had he ever been treated like this?Ever since he established himself in the industry, it had always been others trying to curry favor with him.Unless it was a truly powerful investor, he rarely had to lower himself at all.That heart-pounding sense of pressure was something he hadn’t felt in a very long time.If not for
