Trevor explained. “Sophia and my sister-the one who got kicked out of the family-teamed up to get back at me.
They used the media to force the into marrying her.
“It won't be long before | divorce her and end this marriage.
“I don’t love her. She only got close tofor her own benefit. Honestly, our whole relationship was a mistake
from the very beginning. Kate, | hope you get what I'm trying to say.”
Trevor's words were deliberately vague, but the way he gazed at her was so tender and full of meaning.
Honestly, he could shoot that ssoulful look at a stray dog on the street. It was the skill of being an actor.
Kate, being an actress herself, shot back a look so moved it was almost over the top. “I get it!”
“They've cinto contact.” Aubree’s gaze lingered on the text message on her screen.
Just then, a knock sounded at her office door.
“Cin,” Aubree said.
It was Vincent Sloan.

“Ms. Miller, you have an invitation from the Angel Investors’ Summit. It’s for tonight,” he said.
The Angel Investors’ Summit sounded like an opportunity for Rithol City’s elite to help young entrepreneurs
chase their dreams, but in reality, it was just a glossy front for business networking and self-promotion.
“The key thing is, Carmen will be there too, trying to secure investment for her shared e-bike project,” Vincent
added.
“Really?” Aubree raised an eyebrow, instantly interested.
She hadn’t been exaggerating when she said now was the right tfor a shared e-bike project. Shared bikes
had been around for quite a while, and plenty of people had considered launching e-scooters, but the production
costs were just too high.
If the rental price was set too high, users wouldn't go for it. If it was set too low, the company might never even
break even.
On top of that, they had to watch out for cheap bikes starting price wars to grab market share-it would end up
being a losing game.
These days, thanks to advances across all kinds of industries, the cost of making e-scooters has dropped a lot,
though they're still not exactly cheap.
If the funding fell through, it would be a disaster for Carmen.
Aubree narrowed her eyes with a sly smile. “Let’s go join the fun.”
That evening, the party was filled with Rithol City’s most well-known investors and entrepreneurs. Aubree even
spotted Kelvin Malone there.
Aubree glanced around. “Bowen’s not here?”
Kelvin almost called her “Mrs. Turner”, but he caught himself just in time. He greeted, “Ms. Miller, Mr. Turner's
been busy with company affairs lately, so he sentto represent him.”
That really was unusual. No matter how busy Turner Group got, there were always others to handle the daily
grind. As the big boss, Bowen was the one making the final calls on major projects.
Kelvin hesitated for a moment, then leaned in and whispered, “Ms. Miller, did you know that Alvin started
studying finance this semester?”
“I know about that,” Aubree replied.
“Alvin actually taught himself a bunch of courses over the break. Just a couple of months into the new semester,
he got the old man to pull sstrings so he could take the subject tests early-and he aced them. Now word is,
he’s about to join Turner Group.
“Before, Mr. Turner called all the shots at the company. But now that Mr. Alvin’s coming in, sshady people
are starting to see an opportunity.
“Honestly, those guys are just flailing around. Mr. Alvin and Mr. Turner are family. Do they really think he'd turn
on his uncle and help them take down Mr. Turner?”
Aubree gave a small smile, but it barely touched her lips. Her eyes, though, were all business.
You can’t really say that for sure, she thought.

It was pretty weird for Alvin to suddenly get into finance and want to join the company. It was not like he
couldn't, but he’d never shown the slightest interest before. Now, out of nowhere, he started working hard on
this aspect.
If he really wanted to join the company, all he had to do was ask Bowen. It was not like Bowen would ever say
no. But instead. Alvin went straight to Enrique, making it obvious he didn’t want Bowen to know ahead of time.
What is Alvin really after? Aubree wondered.
