Part of it was also because they had once crossed paths before.Six months ago, Angela had visited an art exhibition in Goldmont City. She and Barney had chosen the same painting, drawn by their shared taste.The painting depicted children in an orphanage, rendered with wildly imaginative colors that exaggerated the loneliness of each child.Angela had been captivated by the painting's unique palette, but Barney's perspective was different. She still remembered his words from that day: he liked the painting simply because he had a sister he had never met.Years ago, his mother had sent her to the orphanage, and now, following her mother's dying wish, he had come to Goldmont City in search of her.But finding someone with no trace of information in such a sprawling city was like searching for a needle in the ocean. Barney's previous visits had all ended in failure. It was only by chance, attending a friend's exhibition, that he saw this orphanage-themed painting and felt a pang of

Stanley already regretted bringing Alicia along to the summit.Alicia had zero sense sometimes. With the Fox family in their current situation, rushing up to hand out business cards like that—wasn't she just asking to be snubbed?"The seating's all assigned once we enter," she muttered, pouting. "I don't have any other choice."But she wasn't discouraged. If she couldn't manage it, her mother and grandmother could.Stella had once been a famous socialite. True, she'd spent years at home playing poker and lying low, but the husbands of her social circle—her close friends' spouses—still carried weight. Even if most people were avoiding the Fox family, Stella herself could still call in a few favors.And Lauren could uphold the family's dignity, no problem.Back in the day, when Lauren's husband had been building his empire, he had dealings with many investors in Goldmont City. Generous and uncompromising, he had a high reputation in the circle. Thanks to his lingering influence, La

But neither Stanley nor Alicia seemed to notice this. All they saw was Khloe stepping forward in heels, every movement elegant and controlled as she approached them."Khloe, don't take it personally. Alicia just lost control—really, we can talk—"Stanley tried to smooth things over, offering a diplomatic out. After all, he wasn't a Fox family member. Khloe now had the capability to run the company as CEO. This was her own accomplishment, not anyone else's. He didn't want to get caught in the middle of old grudges. He just wanted to stay neutral and play the good guy.But a single glance from Khloe froze him. Before he could react, strong hands grabbed him from behind, muffling his mouth."Alicia… I heard you right, didn't I? You cursed me?"Khloe stopped in front of Alicia, lips curving slightly.Alicia was being held down by three bodyguards, her mouth blocked. But Khloe lifted her chin subtly, signaling the guards to release their grip on her, giving Alicia the chance to spea

Stanley immediately called his superior. By now, the VIPs should have already entered the inner hall. If the Morrison heiress had arrived, she would naturally be introduced. All he had to do was just ask and find out.The call connected quickly.Alicia wiped her sweaty palms nervously and pressed the speakerphone."Mr. O'Leary," Stanley greeted.Before he could finish, the voice on the other end snapped, "Where are you? Why aren't you here yet? Didn't I tell you this event is important? Don't be late!""Ah… there was a minor accident on the way. I'm afraid I won't make it," Stanley said cautiously. Better to omit the full truth. If Khloe really was the Morrison heiress, revealing the situation might get him fired on the spot."You're really letting a rare opportunity slip through your fingers!" Mr. O'Leary chided before moving to hang up. The surrounding area was noisy; many executives were entering and gathering around. He had to get to the venue himself."Wait, Mr. O'Leary… I'

It seemed Angela's luck had truly turned. Somehow, she had already secured backing from the nation's elite capital circles.If what Angela said was true, how could the Fox family not leverage Solara Energy's background to make a comeback?Alicia didn't understand much about Solara Energy, but seeing Angela speak with such certainty, she finally fell silent for once."Alright, Angela," Alicia said impatiently. "Since you have access, hurry up and take us in. Stanley's boss is inside waiting for him."Angela pressed her lips together and didn't respond.After a brief pause, she glanced at her watch. "I need to go. My friend is waiting for me inside. Your arrival wasn't part of my plan. I'm not in a position to bring you in."With that, she turned to leave.Stanley grew anxious. He could tell Angela was deliberately putting Lauren in her place."Angela!" Alicia called after her sharply. "Are you really going to turn your back on us like this?""Wasn't it your family who turned th
