"Simone is a celebrity who works with Johnson Talent Agency. She occasionally attends banquets with Noah," Julian replied casually.He couldn't help but chuckle when he noticed the look of surprise on Yvonne's face. "What's there to be shocked about? If anyone from the entertainment industry wants to attend banquets of this importance, they'll need to come up with various ways to get their hands on an invitation. This is a perfect chance for them to make connections with the upper echelon of society, after all. Besides, they get to earn quick bucks on the side, so attending such banquets will only bring them benefits."Julian then turned to look at Simone. "Women like Simone who only have the looks yet lack an influential background are especially desperate to get in. If they hadn't found themselves a sugar daddy, they would've gotten kicked out of the industry a long time ago."Everyone knew very well what Noah and Simone's relationship was like, but they never uttered a word about

That night, Professor McKinnon held a dinner party for his guests. Everyone had fun eating, drinking, and conversing with each other.Professor McKinnon engaged with random guests throughout the dinner. His wrinkled face looked exceptionally relaxed. One could see the flames of passion burning in his eyes the whole time, which was something that could only normally be seen in young people.The professor enjoyed conversing with the young people, especially the talented upstarts who were the cream of the crop in the technological industry.He'd ended up having a few glasses of vodka without realizing how much he'd drunk, resulting in him looking quite hyperactive.Meanwhile, everyone else also drank more out of respect for the old man.Noah passed a glass of vodka to Simone while telling Professor McKinnon with a smile, "Simone is really good at drinking. She'd like to toast to you, professor."However, Simon looked quite conflicted. "I—"Her partner shot her a look. "It's a rare

"When I woke up, I asked Rachel who saved my life. All she told me was that Ms. Y from Emerald Group saved me. You're Rachel's friend, so you should know very well that she's the type who can't keep a secret to save her life. She wears her heart on her sleeve and tends to look weirded out whenever something happens. That's why I had a hunch that she was acquainted with Ms. Y. No—she's good friends with her. It seems that you fit the shoe, Ms. Miller."Caleb analyzed the whole thing. Meanwhile, Yvonne listened to him quietly."So, should I call you Ms. Y or Ms. Miller?"The moment his words fell, a flash of cold light streaked across the atmosphere before the man felt a cold blade pressed into the nape of his neck. It was positioned right against his jugular.Caleb couldn't help but shiver slightly. If Yvonne hadn't controlled her force, she would've drawn blood by now.She raised her head slightly, revealing a cold and murderous glint in her eyes."You might be Rachel's older bro

Stephen successfully landed the collaboration opportunity once the convention was over.As he signed the contract with Professor McKinnon, camera flashes surrounded them. After that, the men shook hands with each other to seal the deal.The professor might look exhausted, but he was still delighted to be able to work with Stephen.Once the reporters left them, Professor McKinnon led Stephen to the side so that they could have a private conversation. "I'd like to make one thing clear to you; you'd still have been my first choice even if Ms. Miller hadn't helped me."Everyone had already witnessed Stephen's capabilities with their own eyes.However, Professor McKinnon valued personal integrity more than one's capabilities. He was in love with Mrs. McKinnon for many years, so it was easy for him to recognize the look one had when they were truly in love with their partner.When he'd observed Stephen with Noah, the old man had clearly been able to discern that the former was genuinel

"He told me that I should cherish you. He even said that he wouldn't hesitate to teach me a lesson if I were to harm a hair on your head. How did you and Caleb get to know each other, hmm? He sounded like he was very close to you."Stephen softened his tone on purpose when he reached the final sentence. The danger in his tone was evident.Yvonne felt chills run up her spine. She swallowed nervously before squeezing out a smile at Stephen. "Maybe you don't know this, but Caleb is Rachel's older brother."Stephen looked slightly surprised. Indeed, he hadn't known about that.Caleb had founded Turner Tech by making it through difficulties with pure passion and perseverance as soon as he'd graduated from his university. After that, he'd made a name for the company in Northerna City thanks to his outstanding capabilities.Some time after that, Anderson Group had issued its tender document for a business contract as they wanted to start expanding in the technological field. Caleb had wo
