Veronica wondered, ‘The Wiley family primarily invests in international education, with ninety percent of their business operated abroad, while the Jackson family doesn’t engage in that field. What makes these two families competitors?

Nydia did not believe Veronica and retorted, “The Jackson Group in like an empire in the business world. I don’t think we can know every detail about its business.”

Veronica sighed and agreed, “Tsk. That makes sense. You are Mr. Jackson, yet you have no access to those top secrets, not to mention an outsider like me!

Everyone in the wealthy social circle knew how much Cade loved Josephine.

Veronica shook her head and murmured to herself, “Well, it looks like I’m out of my mind! Observing Nydia’s distressed expression, she nudged Nydia in the ribs and asked, “So, what’s your plan?”

Veronica was not worried about Nydia getting hurt by Josephine and Cade’s relationship. She understood that Nydia and Cade had remained in their marriage for five years solely for the benefits. What concerned her more were the next steps for Nydia, as she knew the Sharp Group meant everything to Nydia,

Nydia replied plainly, “I guess I’ll just play it by car.”

Veronica pondered, This topic is too heavy. Delving further will only bring Nydia down.” With that in mind, she said, “Forget about that man.” She grabbed Nydia’s shoulders and shook Nydia, trying to pull Nydia back from those distracted thoughts. Then, she smirked and added, “Don’t waste our precious youth. I’ll show you what deserves your time later.”

As Veronica finished her words, a group of men entered the room. Nydia glanced over and noticed they were all young. attractive guys from the entertainment industry. They exuded an aura of youth that matched Nydia’s outfit perfectly.

Veronica exclaimed, “Come over here to meet this beauty. She rested her hand on Nydia’s shoulder and gestured toward the boys as if she were a parvenu inviting them over for her exclusive enjoyment. The scene amused Nydia.

The lights were dim in the room, and Nydia dressed casually, so those boys did not recognize Nydia as the famous Mrs.

Jackson.

One boy walked over and asked, smiling, “Veronica, may I have the beauty’s name?”

Veronica tugged the boy over and made him sit beside Nydia, replying, “Her first name is Beauty, and her last name is Fairy. Just call her whatever puts a smile on her face.”

Nydia felt uncomfortable with a male stranger beside her, so she whispered to Veronica, “I don’t think this is appropriate.”

“What are you scared of? Having fun doesn’t hurt the Jackson family’s business. With that, Veronica gestured for the other boys to join them, saying, “Your only job tonight is to have a blast. I’ve got you covered if anything goes sideways.”

Nydia felt awkward being around a group of attractive boys. Even though she was usually comfortable chatting with male colleagues at work, she suddenly felt shy in this situation.

The boys realized Nydia tensed up and took turns to toast her. Nydia felt a wave of dizziness after indulging in glasses of

wine and gradually relaxed.

One boy suddenly said, “Beauty, remember, my name is Lewis Harvey. I’m going to perform later. Please show up support me if you have time.”

Nydia, feeling groggy, nodded heavily and assured, “Sure. I’ll get you whatever you need.”

A party unfolded in the presidential suite 3021. Over ten men and women swayed to the loud music on the dance floor. The grand crystal chandelier cast its glow, illuminating every corner of the room. Every detall exuded opulence and luxury.

Those males were all from wealthy families in Creekheim.

A man was flanked by girls, with a cigar in his mouth. He leaned toward the beautiful girl on his left lap and whispered urgently, “Listen to me. Play this one.”

The girl grinned shyly and replied, “Mr. Glen, I can’t play this one. Mr. Milton is waiting for it. He’ll win if I give it to him.”

Liam Glen raised his hand and squeezed the girl’s waist. He smirked and teased her with a dirty joke, “What about it if you give it to him? He’s better than me.” The girl in Liam’s arms got shy and blushed.

Paul Milton crossed his legs and grinned, retorting. “You’ve never tasted mine. How do you know I’m good? I’d wager everyone here teaming up couldn’t beat Mr. Jackson, Am I right?” With that, Paul glanced ahead.

Cade was dressed in a dark green suit and lounged casually on the U–shaped sofa. Two buttons of his shirt unfastened, offering a peek at his toned muscles.

He rested with his eyes closed. His long eyelashes cast shadows on his face under the light. His chiseled face was partially concealed in the darkness, adding to his mystique.

Hearing people talk about him, Cade slowly opened his eyes and looked over.

Cade’s glance made the girl’s heart beat faster. She cried inside, “That man is unbelievably handsome! It’s no wonder every woman in this city adores him. It’s not an exaggerated rumor. It’s the truth! Sadly, he appears aloof, which pushes people away from him.”

Cade seemed in a good mood today, so Paul and Liam felt confident making jokes around him without worrying too much.

Paul poured a glass of wine, walked over with a smile, and placed it before Cade, asking, “Why did you join the party alone tonight? Where’s Josephine?”

Josephine was the only woman Cade introduced to his friends, which revealed the importance of Josephine in his heart. People were convinced that Josephine was the only woman Cade loved.

Josephine lived up to people’s expectations and became a friend of Cade’s friends. As a result, Paul, Liam, and the rest recognized her as Cade’s sole romantic interest. This was not just beneficial for Josephine. It also brought advantages to the entire Brooks family. With the support of these affluent young men, the Brooks family stood to prosper even more.

On the contrary, they barely talked to Nydia and knew nothing about her even though she was Cade’s legal wife. Such

occurrences were typical within upper–class circles, so the boys did not find it surprising.

Cade maintained his calm expression and did not reply to Paul.

Paul added, “You guys seem to have a good relationship. You should do something to acknowledge her since she has been with you for five years.”

Cade finally opened his eyes and retorted coldly, “It’s none of your business.”

Paul felt a shiver run down his spine as he caught Cade’s gaze. He thought, ‘Did I say something wrong? But what I said was true. Josephine is already 25. It’s getting awkward if they don’t tie the knot soon. Josephine is my friend too. It’s natural for me to be worried about her.‘

“Boom!” A vibrant burst reverberated outside, followed by a series of it. Colorful fireworks reflected on the windows, making the scene as splendid as a fairy tale.

“Damn it. The show starts!” Liam exclaimed excitedly. “Come on. Turn on the TV now!” A roar was instantly heard in the

room.

Imperiacy Club was the premier entertainment venue in Creekheim, drawing in all the influential and wealthy clients. Those clients were not merely there to drink. They built up connections and exchanged business favors and opportunities.

Business was often done better in luxurious places. Recognizing this, the club owner built an expansive stage and invited various celebrities to perform every night. The celebrities were delighted to perform at the club because they had the opportunity to get to know influential tycoons. There was even competition among them to secure a performance because the number of performers each day was limited.

Tonight’s performer was a famous singer, Lewis Harvey, who soared to stardom following his triumph at a prestigious singing competition.

Paul and the others were on the third floor. Their room’s floor–to–ceiling window overlooked the stage, offering them a clear view of the entire club hall.
