NovelEnglish803 Chapter 802
As soon as Keira said this, Erin and Jenkins exchanged a look, then both shook their heads.
Keira frowned. "What's the problem?"
Erin shrugged. "Ever since we left the South family, we've only kept in touch in our group chat. We haven't met
in person for years!"
She looked over at Jenkins. "You too? Haven't seen her?"
Jenkins nodded.
Erin scoffed, "So, you didn't even see her in person, and just one phone call had you running scared?"
Jenkins held her gaze. "What would you have done?"
Erin paused, quiet for a moment, her silence enough to tell Keira that she would've run, too.
Jenkins explained, "I built an empire in Country A, not by myself but with a team that just kept expanding. The
bigger it got, the more | couldn't control it alone."
Keira nodded in understanding. She'd lived through that herself.
She'd built her first company from nothing, though her own journey had started much earlier. The first job she
held was in a diner, waiting tables, back in middle school. When she left the Olsen family, Mrs. Olsen had given
her smoney to get by, but it was immediately taken by Poppy, who declared Keira unworthy of spending
Olsen money. From then on, she'd been on her own. She started with a summer job at that diner. It was rough,
but she was smart and a fast learner. She watched the chef work and could replicate a dish after just one
demonstration. Soon enough, she'd step in when the chef was sick, cooking for an entire shift, perfectly following

Eventually, she moved out of the dorms, giving her more tto work. High school and college weren't free, and
she needed funds just to stay in school and cover living expenses. A year of hard work later, she'd saved about
ten thousand dollars—a safetyshe intended to use to support herself through school. But academics came
easily to her. While others struggled, she found that studying took hardly any time, leaving her more hours to
work. As a result, her savings grew.
Then, just when things were looking up, the diner's owner announced he was leaving Oceanion and selling the
business. Keira's heart went out to the staff who had been like family to her. And so, she spent every penny she
had to buy that little diner.
Her hard work paid off, and over time, the business grew. She eventually expanded into other service industries,
starting a courier company, then a property management business—ventures that helped those at the bottom of
the ladder. Each new business met a basic need for everyday people, and it gave her a small measure of
security.
From that diner cthe empire she built, growing into the massive N Group, which brought in millions every
year. But no matter how big she got, she kept that first diner open, providing jobs for the people who needed
them most.
Keira glanced back at Jenkins. In Country A, she must have faced the sdilemma—growing a business that
bectoo big to fully control. So when Clownfish threatened to blow up her company if she didn't leave, she
hadn't had much choice.
For someone like her, walking away from her own life was unthinkable. But she'd done it for her employees’
safety, and that told Keira something about her character. It was this integrity that made Keira trust Jenkins.

Jenkins shot her a knowing look.
