The news continued to spread rapidly until it finally reached Elysia's social media. The purple-haired woman froze when she saw the man who had once been very close to her now standing beside another woman, one wealthier and more influential, with spectacular news headlines."Hero or Lover? The Mystery of the Man at the Side of the CEO""Not Just Business Partners, Adrian and Evelina Caught on Camera Hugging""Love, Jealousy, and Bombs: The Story Behind the Strearia Grand Hotel Explosion"Elysia's eyebrows furrowed. "Adrian is a board member at Strong Harvey Group?"To her, it was too strange for a fresh graduate to hold an important position in a company unless that person was part of the owner's family circle. But Adrian was clearly not from the Harvey family."So it is true that Adrian has a special relationship with Evelina?""Since when?""We have not even broken up for a month and he is already with a new woman."She was no longer Adrian's girlfriend and did not regret the break

In the past, for crucial matters like this, Theron would have acted firmly. He would not even have hesitated to fire Evelina from the CEO position. But now he was no longer as powerful as before.Evelina answered without hesitation, "Dad, as long as I am CEO, I will do what I believe is right.""If they really want to fight us, then we will face them later."In the following days, Adrian and Evelina's focus returned to cultivating Vukiofras. In the Harvey laboratory, Evelina introduced Adrian to the best botanist scientists recruited by their team.Except for Adrian, all of them had already put on special protective suits from head to toe, which were also equipped with oxygen tanks.Evelina spoke in a professional tone, "He is Adrian Reid, our new board chairman and also an expert in rare plants.""I hope we can work together for the success of the Kandila Lite charity project."She smiled from behind the special helmet. "Please, Mr. Reid, you can start explaining to them."In front o

After a few moments of silence, just looking at Elysia, Adrian answered flatly, "Actually, I am very busy this week."Elysia's eyebrows arched. She knew Adrian was a board member now and the Harvey company project had recently caught fire, so it was impossible that he was not busy. But Elysia's family was truly in a serious financial crisis and AEON was her last hope.In a low voice Elysia asked, "Is it not possible at all, even just for a moment?"Elysia swallowed. "I promise after this I will not bother you and I will give you a share of AEON."The two of them looked at each other through the screen, then Adrian answered, "Alright, in that case sixty percent of AEON shares."Elysia's eyes widened as if they were about to jump out of their sockets. "Sixty percent? You want to extort me?""AEON is the result of my hard work! And right now my family is in great need of funds!"She broke out in cold sweat and her heart pounded fast. Since her father died and her family business collapse

Since they broke up and Adrian's shop was destroyed, Elysia no longer knew anything about Adrian, including where he lived.As someone who was considered close to Adrian, Elysia also could not possibly ask Blake where Adrian lived. That would seem too unprofessional when she was considered close to the person trusted by the potential investor.As for asking Adrian directly for his home address, Elysia would not do that. She was still very annoyed because Adrian took sixty percent of AEON shares.The only person Elysia might contact to ask for Adrian's address was Jaylin.Finally she sent a message to Jaylin, "Jaylin, how are you?""I heard your condition was quite bad when my family found you."Jaylin, who at that time was editing a video, paused for a moment. Even though he was not close to Elysia, it could not be denied that he was a little annoyed with Elysia for breaking up with Adrian. If it were not for the kindness of Elysia's parents to his life, maybe Jaylin would not have ca

After the countdown finished, the three men jumped into the water, creating splashes. The sea water was clear and clean, truly refreshing.As soon as he entered the water, Anders's body swelled. His skin became hard, rough and covered with bumps. His head lengthened, creating a snout. Meanwhile from his lower back emerged a long serrated tail.Anders had shown his true form as a saltwater crocodile mutant. With his natural predator instinct and his mouth that resembled a clamp, Anders moved quickly and managed to get his first fish. A barracuda one hundred centimeters long weighing nine kilograms.Next each of his hands got one weighing one point two kilograms and nine kilograms. Quickly Anders surfaced and threw the fish onto the deck of the ship.Leo cheered happily and clapped. "Yay! Grandpa is great!"It was his first experience seeing fish that big directly."Let's find more fish, Grandpa!"Anders waved at Leo before diving back in.Vivian gripped the railing tightly. She looked
