He had said he would assist her. He had persuaded himself that receiving the inheritance from his grandfather would put an end to all their humiliations and worries. He'd do it, and she'd be free of her family for good. He got out of bed and looked at the clock on the table. It read 5:30 a.m. He sighed deeply. His phone, which was also on the table, beeped simultaneously, and stretching his hand, he grabbed the device. He'd gotten an email from Stark Inc. His eyes widened in surprise. Why would Stark Inc. contact him by email? He opened the email quickly to read the contents.

As Ethan observed her, she was about twenty-eight years old or younger. She was tall and slender. Her eyes were huge, and her neck was lengthy. She was also kind and mature. He pushed his palm against hers. "Thank you so much, Miss Demi. I'm overjoyed to be here." "Thank you so much. Please accompany me." She escorted him to her office on the same floor as his. They started talking while sitting in front of Demi's desk. "I regret to inform you that I will be absent from the office regularly. As a result, I want you to continue managing significant operations and business transactions. If there are any important ones that I need to handle, I will do it.”Demi gave him a respectful look.

As Cassie made her statement, Elizabeth restrained a laugh. The rest of her family members in the room were staring at her. Was she completely insane? What was she attempting to accomplish?Why did she assume she could get the bid from Buddy if Arnold and Grandpa Rogers couldn't? Everyone in the room thought she was insane. Larry, her brother, shook his head in amusement, wondering what had gotten into her. It was the worst possible time for her to impress her family. She would fail the task and bring further shame on herself. Arnold was the first to speak up. "This is not a prank. What makes you think Buddy will give you a good deal? How do you expect to win the bid?"Elizabeth thought it was right to use the opportunity to embarrass her sister. "What has gotten into you, Cassie? Do you have any knowledge of the Buddy Industry?
