Arthur arrived just in time to see a crowd swarming the entrance to the company, voices clashing in heated argument.

In the center of the chaos stood Selune, a stunning blonde beauty, surrounded by two police officers.

Her hands were cuffed, and even in a professional suit, her curves were impossible to ignore.

Some surprises, but it’s all working out." Selune’s face was as cool as ever, but her voice had a hint of excitement.Arthur couldn't help but grin when he noticed her upbeat mood.But then, a thought crept into Selune’s mind the moment she saw Arthur.She remembered Arthur mentioning something about helping her family financially.Could he be tied to the Charles family somehow?She shook the thought away.Peter Charles was already in his fifties, and

    He handed her the paperwork with a polite nod.Selune blinked, stunned, but quickly regained her cool.With a confident smile, she took the contract, her fingers brushing the thick paper.As the CEO of a company, she’d signed her fair share of deals.She skimmed the document, but her heart skipped a beat when she saw the number—one billion dollars.The secretary saw her hesitation and added, "You don’t have to worry about a thing. This contract is real, and there are no hidden catches. It's all for you."Selune almost couldn't believe her luck. It was like they were handing her free money.She took the pen and signed her name with a flourish."I have no doubt about the Charles family’s sincerity. Please give my regards to Mr. Charles. I look forward to our future cooperation together."The secretary was clearly impressed by how composed she was.Meanwhile, Elina was boiling with jealousy.She watched as Selune signed the contract like it was nothing, her mind racing.Why couldn’t I be

Was Lady Luck finally on her side?She’d sweep her brother’s family right out the door as soon as this meeting finished.“Quick! Bring them in!” Elina shouted, excitement bubbling in her voice.She stood by the door, while the servants lined up, waiting for the guest to arrive.The door opened.A middle-aged man in a sharp dark blue suit walked in, holding a document.Elina stepped forward, smiling broadly as she bent slightly at the waist.“We’re truly honored by your visit. How would you like to be addressed?”The man gave her a brief, almost indifferent glance, his face still all business.“No need for the formalities. I’m here on behalf of Mr. Charles.”Elina’s smile grew wider. “Of course, we’re deeply honored.”“As Mr. Charles’s secr
