lan sighed, "I'm not obsessing, it's just that she feels too much like Alina used to be around me. Even though the
results might not be what we hope, I still want to try." Jack understood his father's feelings, "I'll have the items
sent back as soon as possible. Don't worry, Dad, I'll let you know the results immediately."
The next day, Scarlett arrived early at the restaurant they had booked. To her surprise, James was even earlier.
"Aunt, you finally came. You have to decide for me, Serena simply cannot marry Jared, no one in this world is
worthy of marrying Serena!"
James was Scarlett's only nephew, and they had shared a close bond since his childhood, discussing everything
with her. Scarlett had often heard James speak glowingly about his Serena, almost to the point of exaggeration.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtInitially, Scarlett thought James was just seeing things through rose-colored glasses and told him to tone it down.
It was only when she found out he was talking about Tina that she realized James wasn't exaggerating.
Now James intended to break up her idol, which was unacceptable to Scarlett. "What right do you have to
meddle in Serena's affairs? Say one more word, and I'll have Serena silence you!" Scarlett glared at James
disdainfully. James, whose only greater fear than Tina was his aunt, closed his mouth at this.
Soon after, Tina entered, supporting lan, followed by Jack and Jared. Scarlett greeted them, "How cyou all
arrived together?"
"We met at the door," Tina replied as she helped lan to a chair and naturally took a seat beside him.
lan, beaming with joy, said, "I always knew Tina and | were meant to be."
"Grandpa Brookes, weren't we just supposed to have dinner? How is this fate?" James, unaware of Alina's
situation, didn't quite grasp the subtle and warm relationship between lan and Tina.
His comment drew a sharp look from both Tina and lan. "What's it to you?"
James muttered, "Indeed, fate has its own voice."
Jared, sitting next to Tina, smiled lightly. "Tina often says that she and Mr. lan are fated, as if it were destined."
lan felt a deep connection with Jared during the meal, appreciating his presence more than ever.
James was annoyed, suspecting Jared of always using underhanded methods to charm those close to Serena.
Jared retorted, "Call it personal charm."
Throughout the dinner, they spent more ttalking than eating. The conversation eventually turned to the
piece of land James had bought from the Reed family.

lan's expression darkened. "Tina, the main reason | wanted to see you today was to discuss the development of
a new type of bomb."
Tina was not surprised. The White and Brookes families, both hidden families, perhaps shared a closeness

White, whose patents were all given to the nation without charge, and the new bomb would be no exception.
Once developed, Paula White would surely hand it over to the state. Tina's role was to provide a secret
development site for White, and incidentally, to undermine GTO's weapon manufacturing. She was a third party,
an investor in commercial terms.
The White family's actions were certainly known to the Brookes family. Regarding the bomb's development, the
Brookes family also wanted a share, or rather, to ensure the patent remained firmly in national hands. "What do
you think?" Tina asked with a smile.
lan was increasingly pleased with Tina, not just because of their natural rapport but also her intelligence.
Conversing with her required no effort in clarifying or explaining; Tina understood his intentions immediately.
This was something even Jack couldn't achieve. Tina was as comforting and close as his Alina.
lan produced a contract. "Take a look at the terms, and if there's anything unsatisfactory or needs changing, let
