Ivy stumbled, completely losing control and falling sideways. However, she did not fall to the ground, but the arms of a stranger. The person held her, stepping back several steps before finally managing to stabilize themselves. Once he regained his balance, Ivy heard him ask, "Are you alright?"She looked up at him. She saw a handsome man dressed in a suit, with refined manners, his eyes filled with worry and care, his features gentle. Even though Ivy had seen countless male celebrities in the entertainment industry, all sorts of handsome guys she had collaborated with, the moment she saw this man, she could not help but sigh inwardly. He looked like a proper gentleman.This kind of demeanor could not be cultivated in just a day or two. It was the aura of a rich, refined young man who had grown up in a life of luxury."I... I'm fine. Thanks to you." Ivy shook her head.She had actually been staring at this man the whole time, losing her senses. Now that she snapped out of it, Ivy

Gale quickly concealed her excitement. Aurum had actually offered to send Ivy. Goodness! What did this mean? A man offering to escort a woman could only imply one thing: he was interested in her. Ivy was also taken aback. "Mr. Lefting, you'd send me?" "Yes," Aurum confirmed. Ivy hesitated, unsure if she should accept. Gale was practically bursting with eagerness. She was itching to agree on Ivy's behalf. Fortunately, after some thought, Ivy nodded. "If Mr. Lefting doesn't mind the trouble, I'd appreciate it." "No problem, it's conveniently on my way. I'm heading to a film and television production company to meet with a director," Aurum said."A director?" "Yes, the company is preparing to invest in a film or TV series, so I need to negotiate."When Gale heard this, she thought it was fate at work again. She immediately suggested, "Have you cast the lead role yet? Why not consider Ivy for it?" Aurum chuckled. "Ivy's company and mine have some business dealings. If it's suit

"I'm an amateur, the director is a professional. The success of a film or TV production isn't achieved by me throwing money around and giving orders. That's art, something I don't understand. My role is investments only, so it's better not to interfere too much with the director's creative process," Aurum replied.Ivy nodded, her admiration evident in her eyes. "The director would also be pleased to have an investor like you." "It's mutual. He wants art, I want profit. He's the director, I'm the businessman." With that, Aurum turned to her, a slight smirk playing at his lips. "Ivy, are you hoping I'll use my so-called power as an investor to directly cast you as the female lead?" Ivy shook her head repeatedly. "That's not what I meant... you misunderstand. I..."Before she could finish, Aurum interrupted, "Actually, I hope you'll allow me to use that power to cast you." Her heart skipped a beat. The implications of his words were profound. Ivy was prone to overthinking, but she

If there was not enough evidence, confronting Aurum would give him a chance to argue and make his future actions more cautious, making it harder to gather evidence. Moreover, Gale trusted Aurum enough. After all, for her, Aurum, who had helped for so many years, was selflessly devoted without asking for anything in return and was still her childhood friend. How could he possibly do anything to harm her or betray her trust?It would be hard to make his case. Shawn suspected the photos were also orchestrated by Aurum. He decided to practice caution. Shawn got up and walked out. At this moment, there was a knock on the study door. "Mr. Wood." "What's the matter?" "Summer is here. She's downstairs with Gale and the kids," the housekeeper reported.It was quite normal for Summer to be here. She was the godmother of the two children and also Gale's best friend. He can tolerate her as long as Summer does not badmouth him in front of Gale. After all, he would have to deal with Summer

With that, Summer got up. "What's this?" Gale grabbed her. "No one's chasing you away, and nobody's avoiding you." "I know, I'm not blaming you guys, it's my own problem." Gale firmly pressed her down. "If you go out now, you'll definitely run into Joe, he hasn't left yet." "I'll go out the back door. Your house is so big, there should be several doors, right?" Summer looked around."Are you really planning to leave?" "Otherwise? Should I go meet Joe?" Gale looked conflicted. "How about... you just... give in to him?" "Say that again?" Gale shook her head. "How about you just... be with him?" Summer almost jumped up. "I asked you for help to come up with a solution, not to matchmake me with Joe!" "Just give it a try, it's been so many years..."Gale persisted, managing to pull Summer back. "He's not just messing around, he's sincere. Give him a chance, and give yourself a chance at a relationship."Gale said, "If he dares to treat you even the slightest bit badly,
