The noonday sun was painfully bright, so bright that even after Cassian rolled the car window shut, he still couldn’t escape its glare. 

But only he knew that, in that moment, it wasn’t just the sunlight that was blinding. 

Aurelia was heading over to Tyson’s place that afternoon. Once she’d finished her discussion with Wade, she said her goodbyes and left. 

Just as Aurelia reached the main entrance, three people started up the steps toward her. 

Leading the group was Daniel, who had some business to handle here. 

When he spotted Aurelia on the steps, his steps faltered for a second. Then he told the people with him to go ahead without him–he had something to take care of. 

Only after the two left did Aurelia continue down the steps. 

Daniel called out to her, “Ms. Corin.” 

There was no one else around, and he’d addressed her by her last name. Even though she didn’t recognize him, Aurelia stopped and glanced over. “Are you speaking to me?” 

“Yes,” Daniel replied with a friendly smile. “Are you from Ashmont, Ms. Corin?” 

Aurelia didn’t know Daniel and had no idea he was Tessa’s dad. To her, he was just a stranger–a middle–aged 

man she had no reason to answer. 

Aurelia replied coolly, “Sorry, I can’t tell you that.” 

With that, she walked off quickly, leaving Daniel with nothing but her fading silhouette. 

Daniel stood on the steps, watching where she’d gone until her figure disappeared from view. Only then did he come back to himself. 

After a brief pause, he pulled out his phone and made a call. “Help me look into someone,” he said. 

Getting Aurelia’s information was no trouble at all. By the time Daniel was out of his meeting, the report was already waiting for him. 

When he saw the word “deceased” listed next to her father’s name, Daniel fell into a long silence. 

As soon as Aurelia walked into Tyson’s office, she heard his assistant grumbling, “We’ve been nothing but polite all day, but the people from Ascend Group wouldn’t cooperate. And now they’re blaming us for everything? It’s ridiculous.” 

Tyson was known for his gentle temper, so even now, he only comforted the assistant. “Just let it go. If it

He’s just trying to keep Aurelia out of this mess, the assicurn the anon, forcing himmelf to www the frustration 

Just as the assistant was about to open the door, he found Aurelia standing, fuga de 

From the look on her face, it was obvious the’d heard everything, 

Ms. Corin, he said, awkwardly. 

Don’t rush off Aurelia said “Come in and explain it deadly 

The assistant glanced at Tyson, who could only no 

That’s when the assistant finally spilled everything to Aurelia 

Just a week app, Cassian had handed Ascend Grouple management fijasto Tens 

Aurelia had already been pretty show ked when Tessa first started yating involved with Second Crossy he never expected Cassian to hand over the entire management authority 

It was generous to the point of abnurdity. 

But the problem wasn’t who managed it–it was how

Once Aurelia understood the situation, she turned to Tyson Till go to Ascend Group tomorrow. If anything like this comes up again, just tell me directly–Ill handle it myself 

After finishing up her talk with Tyvon, Aurelia drove straight to the airpon to pick up someone who mattered a lot to her. 

The VIP exit at the airport was much quieter than the regular one. Aurelia waited there, keeping an eye out 

for Mia 

As soon as the plane landed, Mia mevaged her, letting Aurelia know she was lining up to disembark 

Before long passengers began walking out, while Aurelia lowered her head to reply to her messages 

Not far away, three people hurried out, with Kyler at the front, also texting Tessa back with his head down 

Kyler typed, “Just landed. Are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner? 

Before he could lift his head, Kyler ran straight into someone. 

The collision was so forceful that Aurelia’s phone flew from her hand and crashed to the ground.

Aurelia hurried to pick it up, only to find the screen completely black and unresponsive. She opened her mouth, wanting to speak, with a mix of frustration and disbelief on her face. 

“Compensate her,” Kyler said coldly to his secretary, without so much as a glance or an apology. 

He walked off immediately. 

Aurelia snorted, half amused, half annoyed. “Think money makes you special?” 

Kyler stopped, turned back, and looked her over like he was evaluating an object. It was a gaze that made Aurelia’s skin crawl. 

In the end, he tugged the corner of his lips. “Having money is amazing.” 

On the way back, Aurelia told Mia what had just happened at the airport. 

“You’re way too polite. If it were me, I’d kick his face in. See how arrogant he’d still be!” Mia said, throwing her hands around in the passenger seat. “I’m the queen of martial arts! I could totally rub his face in the ground!” 

Aurelia couldn’t help but laugh at Mia’s antics, her earlier frustration fading away. “Alright, queen of martial arts, where do you want to eat tonight?” 

“I want a huge feast! Tonight, we’re celebrating you!” Mia cheered. 

“Fine. Anything you want. Every restaurant in Ashmont is yours to pick,” Aurelia laughed. 

Mia instantly put on her best starry–eyed look. “Our Ms.Corin is loaded! Do you still need an assistant?” 

Aurelia took Mia to the best restaurant in Ashmont, Cloud Nine. 

Located on the top floor of the 1500 feet Cloud Sea International Center, it was famous for its panoramic view of the sea of clouds. 

Of course, at night, the sea of clouds was nowhere to be seen. 

Aurelia had booked a table ahead of time, and when she arrived, the man at the next table caught her eye. He looked way too familiar. 

‘Wait, isn’t that the loaded, stuck–up guy from the airport?‘ Aurelia thought to herself. 

‘Seriously, what are the odds?‘ she mused. 

After sitting down, she leaned over and whispered to Mia about what she’d just noticed. 

Mia craned her neck for a better look, then shrugged. “Well, at least he looks decent.” 

Aurelia waved it off, not wanting to let him ruin her appetite. 

They chatted about life instead. 

Mia had spent the last three months in intense on–set training–horseback riding, archery, wirework, spear

techniques. Even the stunt coordinator said she nailed every fight scene, smooth as silk.

Aurelia could see just how much Mia loved acting. No matter how grueling the training got, she never once complained. 

As for Aurelia, her career was skyrocketing. Mia never had to worry about her for a second. She was way more interested in the latest scoop on Aurelia’s love life. 

Aurelia thought for a moment and said, “I just don’t want to spend the energy getting to know someone all over again. It’s like writing an essay–you’re almost at the end, but you have to rewrite it due to messy handwriting. Sure, you remember how it started, but you’re just too tired to do it all again. You’ve already put everything you’ve got into it, but now you have to start over.”

A faint, emotionless pause. “Honestly, being on my own makes me feel more secure,” Aurelia added. 

Mia’s eyes were full of concern. “Once bitten, twice shy, huh? That bastard Cassian, damn him!” 

Right now, she wanted nothing more than to throw him off the top of this 1500 feet building.
