Aurum also learned a lesson from this incident. It seemed that petty tricks were not enough to shake up Shawn and Gale's feelings for each other. They had a solid foundation of many years of affection, having weathered many storms and now trusting each other deeply. Plus, they had a child together, and they were already set as life partners. If he were going to attack, he needed to come at them with everything he got! If he was going to play, he should play big.Suddenly, his phone rang. Aurum grabbed it. "Hello.""Mr. Lefting, you have a meeting scheduled with the director at nine in the morning, and it's almost time. Can you make it on time, or should I ask the director to wait for you?" his assistant said."I'm on my way.""Okay, Mr. Lefting."Aurum smiled. "Ask the director to have Ivy come over to discuss the female lead's matters.""Yes."Aurum tossed his phone onto the passenger seat and started the car toward the Lefting Group.Since the first plan had completely failed

"Afterward, if the company invests in any dramas or sponsorship deals, you've got to remember to mention us in front of Mr. Wood!" Ivy smiled."How could I speak up in front of Mr. Wood?" Ivy responded."Oh come on, you're kidding. Only what you say matters. Us unimportant people never even get to see Mr. Wood in person!" Ivy's agent replied.Fiona, who was discussing contracts with a lawyer, overheard Ivy and her agent's conversation. She glanced at the two, then quickly looked away. Obviously, the agent misunderstood the relationship between Mr. Wood and Ivy. Normally, Ivy would not explain because the misunderstanding was actually beneficial to her. In the future, anyone who saw her would immediately think that she had his backing. Fiona did not anticipate Ivy's next words."You're overthinking it. Mr. Wood and I have a normal working relationship. He's also my big boss now. I'm just a small employee, how could I possibly influence Mr. Wood's thoughts?" Ivy responded.The age

Ivy nodded. "Yes. I just received a call from a director inviting me to discuss the role of the female lead in a major production. It's a big-budget film, and I'm honored to have this opportunity.""Oh, I see. Congratulations," the agent replied.Upon hearing this, the agent hurriedly asked, "Ivy, you just signed with the Wood Group, and you've already got your first opportunity so quickly? Which movie is it? Who is the director? And who's funding it?""The script is still being prepared. I've met the investor, Mr. Lefting from Lefting Group.""Oh! You've even caught Mr. Lefting"s attention? In Sea City, the Lefting Group holds significant influence..." the agent exclaimed enviously."It's just tentative, nothing's finalized yet. I'm going over there now."Ivy hurried away.Meanwhile, Fiona wore a pensive expression. After completing her tasks, she went to the president's office.Shawn had just arrived and was taking off his suit jacket."What's up?" he asked nonchalantly."M

Shawn also knew that Aurum would do everything possible to cover his tracks and leave no evidence behind to avoid being caught red-handed. So, it would come down to who could outsmart who.Both Shawn and Aurum knew what the other wanted to do, but neither could show it, let alone make it public. Aurum would not be foolish enough to admit it voluntarily. Shawn would not be foolish enough to accuse Aurum without evidence.Shawn sneered, speaking to himself, "Aurum, Aurum… trying to steal my woman would not end up well."He used to hold Aurum in some regard because Aurum genuinely helped Gale and was a true gentleman who never did anything to wrong her. It was thanks to Aurum's careful care that she got through the four years when Gale faked her death. However, the Aurum now made Shawn feel he was treacherous. One day, Aurum's true colors would be revealed, and when that day came, the thought made Shawn's brow furrow. He wondered what Gale would think. Her most trusted friend, the pe

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you. Take your time, there's nothing urgent in the department. Don't rush back. If there's anything, I'll handle it for you. Just relax and spend some more time with Sam. It'd be best to have a meal together and build your relationship!" Gale said. "Sam is very busy, Gale. He's been working overtime until past ten every day. His eyes are all red, I doubt he's been sleeping well at night.""Feeling sorry for him? Then take a bottle of eye drops with you and give it to him."Peach blinked. "I already brought it!""Oh, wait, I have something else. Take this and give it to Sam." Gale opened a drawer and took out a sachet. "This is for sleep. It contains aromatherapy herbs."Peach took it. "A sleep sachet?"Gale looked pleased. "Yes. And spray a bit of your usual perfume on it. That way, it will leave a faint scent of perfume. Every time Sam smells it before bed, he'll think of you.""Thank you, Gale!"Peach happily accepted it!Gale leaned closer

Joe added, "Breaking up relationships is the work of the devil. Gale, you're really crossing the line. You know how I've treated you all these years. I've never deceived or manipulated you. I even favored you between you and Shawn. I was even directly exiled! And yet, this how you treat me?"What karma have I incurred? I've treated my friends with sincerity and loyalty, but I never expected to end up like this."Gale rubbed her temples.Shawn accused her of acting like a matchmaker, while Joe accused her of breaking up a marriage.Life was tough, indeed. She was wronged."Alright, enough. Stop. Don't say anymore." Gale stood up. "I'll try to find out Summer's answer. But I can't guarantee anything. Of course, I'll speak up for you."Joe stood up and solemnly grasped her hand. "My happiness depends on you."Gale suddenly felt a heavy sense of responsibility.Joe continued, "Whether I can get married and have children in this lifetime all depends on you.""It's not that extreme.

Summer stayed silent."Actually, in my personal opinion, I think you shouldn't feel too much pressure. Treat this relationship as a life experience. Don't think about marriage, having children, or mundane family matters. Those are still far away.""A life experience like a fling?" Summer asked. "Yes, doesn't that lighten the burden?" Gale suggested.Summer pursed her lips."As long as you have even a bit of affection for Joe, and there's nothing about him that you can't accept, then agree to be with him and have a thoroughly enjoyable love affair. Summer, it's in a woman's nature to be protected and relied upon.""You're suggesting I start now to try living together and see if we're compatible? If you can't accept Joe into your life, then it'll be even harder with other men," Gale reasoned."Do you believe in love at first sight? Do you believe that one day, there'll be a charming prince who perfectly fits your ideals and loves you unconditionally? That's probably just a scam.

"Love is beautiful, just like your name," Gale said.Summer smiled at her. Gale met Joe's expectant gaze while walking out of the office. If he had not been afraid of Summer noticing him, he would have come rushing over to ask her. Gale walked back to her workstation."How did it go? Did you get any hint?" Joe asked eagerly.Gale glanced around. "How did you confess to her back then?""Just like that," Joe said.Joe could not understand. How else could he confess?"Just with words? Nothing else?" Gale asked."I was there too."She was speechless."What about your usual tricks? Use them! When you and Summer were together for a month, did you not send flowers every day? You were quite resourceful and good at winning hearts, weren't you? How come you've not delivered now?" Gale said.Joe fell silent.Gale continued, "Why no action now?"Joe coughed, explaining, "We were already in a relationship, even if it was only for a month. Our relationship was clear. Naturally, with my
