Indeed, my gaze met with Renata's eyes. Seeing my unexpected glance, she swiftly responded with a
subtle nod and a smile, but it didn't quite reach her eyes.
I reciprocated with a polite smile and averted my eyes. But in that fleeting moment, I locked eyes with
Jerome's hawk-like, ominous stare. Undeterred, I maintained eye contact before subtly shifting my
gaze away.
Yet, for some reason, I felt a lingering sense of unease. Jerome was not an employee at Medsafe Liyah
Inc., yet he seemed to know the ins and outs of the company. As Jaylan had accused him, he had
become the puppet master behind the scenes at Medsafe Liyah Inc., which I found deeply unsettling.
I didn't even feel like scolding Jaylan for his incompetence anymore. I initially thought he had finally
gotten a grip on managing Medsafe Liyah Inc. over the years, only to discover he had let such a
significant threat slip under the radar. If this wasn't incompetence, what was?
His wife's hard-earned empire was manipulated by outsiders. An impressive feat indeed.
Of course, who knew how many traitors lurked behind the scenes? Covet gained ahead without being
aware of danger behind. How many beasts might be lurking behind the darkness?
It was only now that I realized how blind I had been to Jaylan's flaws, his ostentatious behavior, and his
superficiality. It wasn't that I was oblivious to these traits, but rather, I had chosen to turn a blind eye. I
used tolerance and avoidance as an excuse for his behavior.
Yes, there was an element of escapism.
Only at this moment did I realize how foolish, ridiculous, and tragic I've been! I was merely deluding
myself, using his shamelessness as a reason to tolerate him!
I was truly grateful that I finally woke up and understood that an angel could never dwell in a filthy soul!
He was nothing more than a maggot in a gutter, fit only to associate with flies.
From the moment I saw his obscene photos, my heart turned cold, and I felt utterly disgusted.
It was then that I realized how challenging it would be to root out the Dawson family's infestation. My
intuition told me that Marissa's death was their doing, but I couldn't find a shred of evidence. This
realization sent chills down my spine. I felt a pang of regret, thinking Marissa might have died too soon.
If she had held on a little longer, I would have been able to discover who this AzureEnchantress truly
was from her.
I had an ominous feeling once again.

attending the cocktail party were influential businessmen and entrepreneurs from Goldenvale Town.
They could smell the business opportunities hidden in every word spoken by these key figures.
It was clear that another wave of commercial chance is about to hit Goldenvale Town!
As the foreign guests left the stage, I saw Renata preparing to ascend the stage, only to be halted by a
voice.
"I suggest we invite the original founder of Medsafe Liyah Inc., Ms. Aaliyah Wilburn, to share her
entrepreneurial journey in Goldenvale Town. Her experiences, the highs and lows, will undoubtedly be
of great help to our local business development and upcoming economic construction!
As administrators of Goldenvale Town, we should listen to their real thoughts and needs, which will
help us improve our service quality, fix the gaps and provide more practical business opportunities!
Let's welcome our young female entrepreneur!”
The voice belonged to Mayor Arlen. With his words, who wouldn't play along? The room instantly filled
with enthusiastic applause!
