She never imagined Charmaine would have such a strong influence, enough for Emyr to assist her while turning down Veronica.
But then again, Veronica was hopelessly naïve. How could she ever stand a chance against Charmaine?
“Veronica, am I disturbing you too much?” Leah’s voice remained steady and devoid of emotion.
“Not at all. I just spoke to Mr. Emyr over the phone. He occupied with important affairs, so it’s not appropriate for him to get involved in minor issues. You’ll need to figure something out on your own,” Veronica responded indifferently.
Leah was nearly seething.
Veronica was putting on an act right in front of her.
“Alright, I appreciate it, Veronica. My dad’s situation is quite complex, and Mr. Emyr politely turned down your request. I understand.”
Veronica’s expression stiffened, and before she could speak, Leah casually added, “But Charmaine took a potent drug last night. I wonder how she managed to deal with it.
“Maybe Mr. Emyr had a reason for helping her.”
Veronica instantly tensed, like a frightened bird. “Leah, what are you implying? Are you trying to suggest that Charmaine was with Mr. Emyr last night…
Before she could finish, a sharp cry escaped her lips, twisted with

Leah silently celebrated her small victory, feigning innocence. “I … I truly don’t know. My dad went all out to make sure things worked, even using a stronger dose. But Charmaine still
to get away unscathed. Now that she’s completely fine, someone must have helped her neutralize the drug. Who could it be? Veronica, don’t overthink it. I didn’t mean anything by it. Your bond with Mr. Emyr is far from ordinary.”
With those words, she quickly made up an excuse and ended the call.
Veronica remained still, her thoughts swirling in unease
Sophie rushed onto the quickest bus heading back to the countryside.
At the same time, Bennett quietly slipped back home after leaving the hospital.
Now that things had reached such a grim stage, with no way forward, even the company’s operations were starting to decline. Shareholders constantly pestered him, questioning whether the business was in

Still, he had weathered a storm. There would be plenty of chances for him to rise again in the future.
The real estate agent soon arranged for interested buyers to visit. Wanting to make a good impression, Bennett had his staff clean the home thoroughly and put on a sharp suit to meet the visitors.
“Mr. Read, this is Mr. Jack Lowland. He’s here to check out the house.”
Bennett welcomed him with a friendly handshake, his tone warm and engaging. “Mr. Lowland, I’ve heard about your accomplishments. Word is you’ve been thriving in business overseas.”
The agent had informed him that this potential buyer had recently returned from Yasaria, having built a successful enterprise abroad. He was looking for a temporary residence and wasn’t short on funds.
“Haha, it’s just a small business, nothing compared to the scale of Mr. Read’s corporation,” Jack replied with a polite smile.
“Since you’re here, shall we start the tour?”
“Of course, Mr. Lowland. Let me introduce my house.”
Though his main task was to present the house, Bennett veered off course, instead sharing his personal journey from poverty to wealth.
He proudly recounted the struggles he endured when he left from the bustling metropolis of Eragos.

Jack Lowland, who had only recently returned from living abroad and was unfamiliar with local affairs, listened attentively to his story and found it quite remarkable.
With admiration, he remarked, “The moment I laid eyes on Mr. Read, I could tell
you were in great health. Even though I was raised overseas, I have always appreciated the geomancy traditions of our country. I have no doubt that your achievements are deeply connected to this house’s energy.”
Bennett enthusiastically agreed, “Yes! This house is truly extraordinary. Anyone who stays here will thrive. For those of us in business, good fortune like this can propel our careers forward!”
Jack nodded, already convinced by Bennett’s statements. “That makes sense, but if this house brings such prosperity, why would you consider selling it?”
For a split second, Bennett’s smile faltered, but he swiftly provided an explanation. “Haha, while I do have a strong emotional connection to this place, my current situation requires a different living arrangement.”
Understanding dawned on Jack. “Ah, so you must be upgrading to an even more luxurious home.”
Bennet simply smiled, neither confirming nor denying the assumption.
Jack then turned to the real estate agent. “I really like this house. Let’s proceed with the purchase. I have the check ready for the full payment.”
