In the dining room, Adrian sat at the head of the long table and invited his guests to take their seats.

Suddenly Elysia remembered her moment with the late Alistair. When Alistair had surveyed this mansion with Elysia in the past, he had also sat in the very chair Adrian was sitting in now.

He had even acted as if the two of them were already married and were having dinner together in that dining room.

Alistair had said, "If we get married someday, I will give this mansion to you."

Blake put down his spoon and looked at Evelina calmly. "Actually I have known about the AEON project since a year ago from Everett Bradly.""He was the initial investor of this project because of his friendship with Mr. Reid."He paused for a moment, looking at the faces of the three women in the room in turn. The three women seemed to be paying attention to Blake's story."But since last month, I heard Everett withdrew his investment.""I wondered if something had happened I did not know about regarding AEON.""But at the Rospula scientist conference, I saw Mr. Reid presenting AEON well.""So I thought, there must be a slight misunderstanding here."Blake's gaze turned to Elysia. "Do you know about this?""What actually happened?""Why did Everett withdraw his investment?"Elysia swallowed with difficulty. And quickly she connected Everett and the investment withdrawal with the incident at the Golden Queen restaurant.And indeed, the time of the investment withdrawal for AEON occurre

In the dining room, Adrian sat at the head of the long table and invited his guests to take their seats.Suddenly Elysia remembered her moment with the late Alistair. When Alistair had surveyed this mansion with Elysia in the past, he had also sat in the very chair Adrian was sitting in now. He had even acted as if the two of them were already married and were having dinner together in that dining room.Alistair had said, "If we get married someday, I will give this mansion to you."And the reality that her ex was now sitting in that chair made Elysia's chest ache deeply.Elysia, focus! Adrian is the past!You came here for AEON!AEON needs you!Not long after, the servants served pumpkin soup with toasted seeds. The aroma of pumpkin and toasted seeds mixed with truffle oil drifted gently, making the night feel warmer."Please enjoy the meal," Adrian sai.Everyone enjoyed their pumpkin soup, except Blake.The man did not immediately touch the soup. He stared at it for a while. Then B

Maverick stammered and stepped back. "A–Adrian?"He looked around the room, still not sure he had just heard Blake say that the luxurious mansion belonged to Adrian.Even so, Blake did not pay attention to Maverick's confused reaction and immediately turned to Elysia. "Miss Harris, next time you don’t need to do unnecessary things and should be more respectful to Mr. Reid."Both of Elysia's hands clenched tightly. She had not expected that Maverick's presence in the mansion would be considered disrespectful by Blake. Even though Adrian had never stated to her that he was willing to be the spokesperson for AEON. She only knew he only wanted to accompany her.Elysia smiled awkwardly. In her heart she wanted to protest because AEON was, after all, her invention. But to avoid unnecessary conversation, Elysia did not bring that up again."Alright, Mr. Blake."Evelina crossed her arms and smiled cynically. "Oh my, Mr. Harrison is not even interested in talking to you."Vivian did not laugh,

Evelina rose from her chair. "Who are you?""Why are you speaking rudely to Adrian?"Maverick smiled politely at Evelina. "I apologize if I sounded a little harsh."He extended his hand to Evelina. "I am Maverick Harris, Elysia's brother.""I am here as Elysia's spokesperson."Unfortunately Evelina ignored Maverick's outstretched hand. He pulled his hand back."It is no problem if you do not want to shake hands with me."With his arrogance, Maverick stated, "My purpose in coming here is only to discuss AEON with Mr. Harrison, the Strearia conglomerate."His words emphasized as if Evelina and Vivian were not important people he needed to address."So it is only proper that we focus on business. Not showing off status and secret relationships."Evelina stared sharply at Maverick. "On what basis are you accusing Adrian of having a secret relationship?""Is it just because Adrian is your sister's ex-boyfriend that you can insult him as you please?"At that moment Vivian had remembered Mave

Adrian was silent for a moment, then chuckled softly. "What did you say?"Both of Maverick's hands clenched tightly. "Are you deaf or stupid?""Immediately tell your master–"Suddenly Elysia grabbed Maverick's phone and ended the call.Maverick glared at his little sister. "What the hell are you doing?""You told me to call Adrian!""Why did you end the call now?"Elysia said firmly, "I told you to beg him to let you in!""Not to order him around!""Adrian is the owner of this mansion!""If you are rude to him, he might not let you in!"Maverick's hatred for Adrian grew even stronger.Not realizing his mistake, Maverick answered arrogantly, "What nonsense are you saying now?""I know Adrian is friends with Everett Bradly and has a new rich girlfriend!""But he owns this mansion? That must just be his lie to make you regret breaking up with him!""Just think about it, where could he get this mansion? From his lonely and shabby flower shop?""Or from his new girlfriend? Are you sure she

When in front of the security post, Elysia and Maverick stopped.A security officer asked, "Who are you two and what do you need?"Elysia answered, "I am Elysia Harris and this is my brother Maverick Harris. We are here because we have a business matter."The guard checked the computer and said, "Please come in, Miss Harris."The gate opened and Elysia stepped inside. Behind her, Maverick walked following her.However, before Maverick passed through the gate, a security officer stopped Maverick."Sorry, Mr. Harris. You are not on the guest list for tonight.""So you are not allowed to enter."Maverick's face turned pale and he felt very embarrassed. Even though he had been very optimistic and confident about becoming Elysia's spokesperson. But in reality, he was forbidden from entering by a lowly security guard.Maverick smiled awkwardly, then explained, "I am Elysia's spokesperson in the project we are going to discuss.""You have no right to forbid me from entering."The guard answe
