Chapter 1237:

Her assistant, known for unwavering loyalty and brutal honesty, didn’t hesitate.

“Given what we understand of Mr. Cooper’s character, the likelihood of him accepting your offer appears remarkably slim.”

A subtle, dangerous smile graced Lilian’s lips.

“Then we’ll simply have to guide his path until it leads directly to me.”

She leaned close to her assistant, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper.

After she shared her instructions, Lilian’s tone shifted to something more pointed.

“By the way, has my father uncovered anything about J?”

The assistant bowed his head slightly, his voice measured.

“Our initial assumption about their student status proved incorrect. After extensive investigation, Mr. Perkins traced similar investment patterns in the market’s history. Interestingly, he discovered another J from over a decade ago—someone renowned for their exceptional market insight. They made a single, memorable appearance before vanishing. Whether these Js are one and the same remains unclear. I was about to bring this to your attention. Shall we continue pursuing this lead?”

“Of course!” Lilian’s eyes narrowed to calculating slits as she straightened in her seat.

“This investigation must continue! Whether they’re the same person or not, I want J’s identity uncovered!”

The mere mention of J’s name stirred memories of deception in Lilian’s mind. While she acknowledged that the trickery had inadvertently led her to Jared, she saw no reason why she couldn’t pursue both romance and revenge. One didn’t preclude the other.

Without waiting for further instruction, her assistant departed swiftly to execute her wishes.

In the CEO’s office of Homelight Enterprise, Madisyn and Jared were engrossed in reviewing recent projects after wrapping up their mission discussion. As her eyes scanned the documents, Madisyn’s attention caught on something troubling in a collaboration agreement that was about to be signed.

“Jared, take a look at this contract,” she said, her finger tracing the paper.

“Clause 9.3.1 is worryingly ambiguous. If complications arise on their end, Homelight Enterprise’s assets could end up frozen.”

As Jared leaned over to examine the document Madisyn highlighted, his brow furrowed as the gravity of the issue sank in.

“Sharp eyes, Boss,” he said, running a hand through his hair.

“We’ve built a solid long-term partnership with them. Aiken was the one who brought this to me…” His voice trailed off as pieces started falling into place, his expression darkening.

“Boss, I’ll get to the bottom of this.”

“Keep me in the loop if anything comes up,” Madisyn responded with a professional nod.

Without wasting a moment, Jared set his investigation team in motion. A few days later, in an opulent villa nestled in the city’s exclusive district, Lilian reclined on her designer sofa, playfully trailing her slender fingers along the arm of her male companion. A satisfied smirk played across her lips as she contemplated her scheme’s progression. By her calculations, Jared would come begging for her assistance within two days.
