Chapter 52

Sumone’s eyes lingered on Samuel’s retreating figure. Her expression was çalım, but her long lashes cast shadows that hid the faint sorrow in her

Perhaps Samuel once had feelings for her, his adopted daughter. But after the fire incident, be became wary of her. Even the deepest feelings can’t withstand doubt. Over time, those feelings soured.

Now, whatever liule affection Samuel had left for her was utterly insignificant when weighed against his ambitions and his biological daughter. Stella

In the crowd. Graham’s face lit up with pride, his hearty laughter ringing out. That’s the way! Bold and fearless–just like a true Irwin”

Graham’s gaze lingered on Simone, a flicker of admiration in his eyes. But Simone wasn’t about to let it slide. With a faint, mocking smile, she said. “Weren’t you the one who refused to acknowledge me as part of the Irwin family before!”

“You” Graham choked on his words, his face turning red. After a moment, he huffed. “Why are you so petty, holding onto grudges like this?” He hadn’t expected her to leave him no room to save face.

Simone didn’t even spare him a glance. Instead, she turned to Cyrus and asked, “You’re planning to meet with SynNexus Group’s representative to discuss a partnership, right?”

Graham’s face darkened as he was completely ignored. Cyrus glanced at his father before focusing on Simone, his expression ringed with surprise “How did you know1 was planning to work with SynNexus Group!”

Cyrus was genuinely caught off guard. The Irwin family was the wealthiest in Sogin, their position unshakable, Even without a partnership with SynNexus, they wouldn’t suffer any losses.

‘s more, SynNexus was on the rise, with the potential to surpass the Irwin Group. Many believed that instead of collaborating the Irwin Group would likely become SynNexus Group’s fiercest rival in Sogin.

Simone shrugged her tone casual but cryptic. I just know.”

The reason, of course, was that she wanted to secure a partnership with the Irwin family. Simone was also gambling, betting that SynNexus Groups strength would make the Irwin family reconsider their hostile stance. Cooperation would benefit both sides.

After a brief pause, Simone took the initiative. Tll take you to meet SynNexus Group’s representative.”

“You’re willing to do that?” Cyrus’s eyes widened, his emotions a mix of surprise and complexity.

“Of course,” Simone replied smoothly. It’s a win–win situation. Why wouldn’t I be willing? she thought

Cyrus could tell that Simone’s relationship with the head of SynNexus Group was anything but ordinary. However, he never considered using his daughter’s connections to secure the partnership, nor did he expect Simone to bring it up herself.

“Thank you, Simone,” Cyrus said after a moment of thought, nodding. He wasn’t one to overthink things. Since Simone wanted to help, as her father, he saw no reason to refuse her goodwill.
