“ Quick ! Get me to the nearest hospitall ” she ordered .
Aria stepped into the lobby and spotted them waiting for her . She walked over .
Victor glanced at his watch , his irritation evident . “ She’s half an hour late . ”
Trenton sighed and said , “ We’re the ones

tood up , his tone respectful . “ Ms. Saxon . ”
Victor turned his head and saw Aria standing silently behind him . Her gaze swept over him .
His cheeks flushed with embarrassment .
For days , they had been trying everything to get Johnny from Hayes Group to sign the deal . But no matter what they did , his stance was clear that Aria had to handle the matter personally .
Left with no other option , they had to ask their chairman to arrange this meeting with Aria .
Trenton immediately poured her a cup of coffee , his tone ingratiating . “ Ms. Saxon , this is delicious coffee . Please , have a sip . ”
Aria remained composed and asked , “ Johnny still hasn’t signed the contract ? ”
They exchanged awkward smiles .
After countless trips to Hayes Group , they finally understood that Johnny’s serious words weren’t just talk . He was willing to risk losing the deal entirely to stand up for Aria .
Their mistake had been underestimating her and denying her true status .
They said , “ Ms. Saxon , they said only you can handle the negotiations , ”
Both of them looked utterly tired , their faces pale and their eyes shadowed with fatigue as if they hadn’t had a decent night’s sleep in a week .
Knowing she had a stake in the Stars Group , Aria decided not to make things harder for them . She extended her hand and said , “ Give me the contract . ”
Victor froze , disbelief flashing across his face .
He had come prepared for a tough negotiation , but he never expected her to agree quickly .
“ What are you standing there for ? Don’t want to sign the contract ? ” Aria asked .
Victor came back to his senses and quickly handed over the contract .
Trenton tightened his grip on the cup , leaned back in his chair , and ignored the curious glances around him . He smiled and said , “ Ms. Saxon , Johnny mentioned that as long as you showed up , the Hayes Group would definitely sign . ”
The Hayes Group was supposed to sign the contract . The hassle was just to show support for Aria .
After skimming through the contract , Aria said , “ Coordinate the schedule with Johnny and let me know . ”
She hadn’t come here for them .
She was here to discuss investing in Cloe’s new store in Kanit City .

“ Alright , Ms. Saxon , goodbye ! ”
As Arla left , Victor patted his chest in relief and said , “ I thought she’d make things difficult for us , but she agreed so quickly . We should yn ae
sooner . ”
Trenton took a sip of coffee and said , “ Alright , it wouldn’t have made sense for her to make things difficult for ust
“ True enough .”
On the third floor , Aria transferred 30 million dollars from Gloria to Cloe . She said , “ I’m investing 30 million dollars . Just give me a small share of equity , As for the dividends , donate them to rural districts in Navoron Restaurant’s name .”
Cloe said , “ Alright , let’s catch up again sometime . Once I move to Kanit City , I probably won’t be back much .”
“ Why suddenly move to Kanit City ? ” Aria asked .
Kanit City was a tough city to break into , so Cloe didn’t need to rush here to earn money .
Aria thought something and raised an eyebrow . She added , “ Is it because of Kim ? Could he have something … ”
Cloe cut her off , “ Of course not . ”
She cleared her throat and continued , “ Stop guessing . I know him , but we just don’t like each other . There’s nothing more to it . ”
Everyone had their own secrets , so Aria didn’t press further . She said , “ Vanessa and I will come visit you
“ Don’t forget to bring gifts , ” Cloe said .
“ Of course . ”
Thinking about those bottles of beauty cream , Aria decided it was time to leave .

“ As a waiter here , you can’t earn much money in a month . Helen , can you afford your dad’s medical treatment ? ”
As soon as she arrived on the first floor , Aria heard these words amidst the noisy noise . She walked towards the side corridor and saw the back of
Trenton .
