Dorian's eyes flickered with anger, just about to retort when Larry and Finnian strolled over, their conversation drifting to everyone's ears in bits, "Let's sign the preliminary agreement first, and hopefully, we can deepen our collaboration in the future." "The Sullivan project has caught everyone's attention, and we're quite interested too. I'm sure we'll have the chance for extensive cooperation down the line." Finnian and Larry exchanged a few words, but even those brief exchanges made Amara's brow furrow.

She knew about the project Finnian mentioned. Currently, both the Sullivan family and the Everly family were developing it, but the progress couldn't be more different. Instead of a partnership, it seemed more like the Everly family was lending a hand to the Sullivan family, evident from the rare sight of Larry's usually stern face breaking into a broad smile. So, what was Finnian's angle? "Why are you doing this?" Amara inquired, "It doesn't benefit you at all." "There's always something to gain," Finnian replied earnestly. "No businessman makes a deal without sprofit in mind." His answer seemed straightforward enough, but Amara couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
Just then, someone approached to speak with Amara, and she followed them to the doorway, leaving Finnian and Dorian to head out to the balcony.
"Did you really partner with Larry?" Dorian asked incredulously after closing the door.
"Partnership? Hardly. The Sullivan family is lagging on progress and technology compared to the Everly family. It's more like we're offering charity!" Finnian leaned against the railing, gazing at the twinkling nightscape with a calm voice, "Charity or not, the Everly family won't miss it. No harm done." Dorian scowled at him.
"It's not about the money. It's about why you're doing it. You said you were done with Amara, so why help her?" "Don't tellthis is just about the Sullivan Group and not Amara. I'm not a kid anymore. That excuse won't fly." "I'm not making excuses," Finnian replied. "just saw how tough Amara had it growing up. Helping her out a bit isn't a big deal. Besides, if the Sullivan Group prospers, it'll be good for her in the long run."

Finnian glanced at him, offering no rebuttal, "If you say so."
As the evening wore on, the party drew to a close, and guests began to leave. Elysia looped her arm through Amara's Ama, are you staying at the Sullivan's tonight? How about I crash with you? It's been ages since we had a sleepover at your place." Cóntent belongs to "Sure, I'll have my room tidied up, and we can head up together."
Amara and Elysia had been high school buddies, often staying over at the Sullivan's back then, and even occasionally during college. But since graduation, those sleepovers had beca thing of the past.
