After that, he continued, “Miss Harper, there's no bad blood between us. Let's leave the past behind. I truly hope
we can collaborate in the future.”
With that, Denis left.
Brenna lingered at the door for a moment, murmuring to herself, “She actually had the nerve to return.”
Inside their room, Ellie and her son, Patrick, were already browsing the menu.
Patrick pointed excitedly at one dish. “Mom, | want lobster!”
Ellie promptly ordered the lobster.
Flipping to the next page, Patrick spotted crabs. “I want that, too!” he exclaimed. The waiter said, “It's prime
season for hairy crabs. They are fresh, flavorful, and a guest favorite. Plates usually cback empty.”
“Great, let's get six—two per person,” Ellie said before passing the menu to Brenna, who quickly ordered

Meanwhile, in the room across the hall, Rosie stared at the lavish spread of food before her, realizing it was far
too much for her to finish. She scrolled through her phone contacts, hunting for two potential investors to help
offset her recent financial setbacks.
Her eyes landed on Jordy’s and Tina's names.
Tina had been distant lately, and Jordy’s responses were equally curt. After a recent influx of capital, Jordy’s
business had skyrocketed, cementing his status among the elite. His family’s venture capital expertise gave him
access to substantial funds.
Rosie dialed Jordy, inviting him to join her, then called Tina, hoping to confront her in person about whether her

Jordy had cast aside his former submissiveness, no longer seeking to please Rosie. He viewed himself as her
equal now.
Entering the room, he sat down without waiting for her to say anything. Rosie noted his growing boldness; he no
longer regarded her as the one in charge.
“You're getting bold,” she said. Though annoyed by his attitude, Rosie held back sharp words, aware of her
current situation.

insight into the operations of various companies. He said, ”
“I'm thankful for your past support; it helpedreach this point. If you need help, just say so. I'll lend a hand for
old times’ sake.”
His words felt patronizing to Rosie. “What's with that superior tone? Don’t forget | helped your family back then.
You owemore respect.”
She knew his power had grown, and she should tread carefully, but her pride, built from years of being in control,
made it hard for her to yield to someone she once outranked.
Jordy lit a cigarette, blowing a smoke ring her way. “Isn't my attitude decent enough? Miss Harper, you are aware
of your situation. If it were anyone else facing failing companies and bankruptcy, | wouldn't even bother coming.
My presence here is already a big gesture.”
Rosie seethed with anger, her eyes narrowing into slits as she shot Jordy a look that could have cut glass. She
spoke with a voice edged in contempt. “You sure had a lot to say back when you needed my help. Let's not
pretend you'd be where you are now without me.”
