"Go ask her if she wants to join Royal Star Entertainment," Charles said in an icy voice. Xavier was taken aback. He did not expect Charles to make such an offer. "Charles, are you really going to sign Winter?""She'll need to come here to discuss it herself. If she's interested, she should see Ronald. He's the one in charge of everything at Royal Star Entertainment. If you come to me, all I can do is introduce you two," Charles explained."Got it. Thanks," Xavier said, understanding what he needed to do.Xavier left feeling a bit rattled. He had braced himself for a tough conversation, but Charles had been unexpectedly bold.Winter rushed over to Xavier as soon as she saw him. "Xavier, what happened? Did Charles say yes?"He nodded, and Winter hugged him tightly, beaming with joy. "Dear, I just knew it would work out! You're the best," she said and quickly kissed Xavier.Xavier, a bit overwhelmed by Winter's excitement, gently pushed her back. "Don't celebrate too soon. Charles

"You..." Winter said angrily. "This contract is unfair and invalid!""Unfair and invalid? Ms. Shaw, a contract is valid from the moment you sign it. I'm pretty sure you know that, even if you're not a business whiz," Ronald said, tucking the contract away with a sly grin. "You think this deal's bad for you? You need to understand the kind of gamble Royal Star Entertainment is taking by stepping up despite the way things are going for you right now. If you don't want to follow through with it, sure, the deal's off. However, if you’re going to back out after agreeing... Well, you’d better think long and hard about that.""You..." Winter was totally blindsided by Ronald's bold move. "I'm related to Mr. Hoffman!""Who are you talking about?" Ronald teased with a smirk. "Royal Star Entertainment is mine to run now that Mr. Hoffman has handed it over. "Winter's face lost a bit of color. "Does Charles know you're doing this?""Mr. Hoffman's name isn't something just anybody can throw ar

Noelle had not been back to Frotconn since her incident. It seemed like Frotconn was just waiting for her to quit on her own, and Noelle knew it. However, she was not about to give up and resign. She had been hanging out at Phoenix Tree Residence lately.Charles had Ronald show Noelle how Royal Star Entertainment had been doing over the years. Noelle had never worked with showbiz before, so she did not know much about it. However, now that she owned part of Royal Star Entertainment, she had to start figuring some things out.For the past few days, Noelle had been busy reading up on Royal Star Entertainment. She pored over files and learned about the stars signed with the company and the new projects they were launching.Ronald used to take care of all those details, only sometimes showing them to Charles for a quick check. Charles trusted Ronald completely and never really asked about the business.However, things had changed a bit recently. Ronald had started to report to Charles

Ronald shook his head quickly. "Nope. I'm all done with my report!"Charles gave Ronald a look, and Ronald clamped his mouth shut, then blurted out, "Oh, I just remembered. I've got something else to do, Mr. Hoffman, Madam. I'll be on my way!""Um..." Noelle, noticing Ronald's rush, felt a bit puzzled. "I've cooked some food, Ronald. You can eat before you leave!"Ronald stopped for a second, feeling sharp eyes on him. He straightened up and let out a goofy laugh. "Madam, you're too kind, but I really have to run. I've got some urgent things to handle. Enjoy your dinner. I won't keep you!"Watching Ronald zoom off, Noelle paused, then turned to Charles and bit her lip. "Why did he rush off like that? Did you give him something urgent to do?"Charles narrowed his eyes in thought, then stood up and waved Noelle over. "What's up?" Noelle asked as she came closer. She glanced at the papers on the desk and raised her eyebrows. "Is this Winter's contract?"He nodded and handed her the

Noelle's face grimaced as she touched her slapped cheek, but she went to help Samuel. "Grandpa, you should be resting. Let me help you back to bed."Samuel waved his hand and gently patted Noelle's hand. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I've been feeling better for quite some time!" he assured her. Then, he turned to Jade with a stern look. "I gave those shares to Noelle. They're hers now, and she can do what she wants with them. If you want to talk about outsiders, you should consider how you’re disgracing the family now, not Noelle.""Dad, how can you say that?" Jade gasped in shock. "You know we would never give away City Ring Corp.'s shares to strangers!""Is that so?" Samuel scoffed. "It seems to me like that's exactly what you're planning to do. Don't think I don't know what's going on just because I'm old. You're not fooling me." His sharp gaze made Jade uneasy, but she quickly replied, "Julian, Winter, and I are all Shaw family members. Our shares would never go to outsiders. Noelle
