Sophia had a n.


    If she couldn''t get Grant''s attention, maybe someone else could. She and Grant had gone to the same university, though he was two years ahead of her.


    Back then, there were rumors about Grant and a girl named Isidora Faye from his year. It was said someone had seen them going into a hotel together.


    First loves were always so unforgettable.


    Sophia couldn''t go up against Chloe, but she could enlist Isidora. With Isidora''s charm, breaking up Grant and Chloe wouldn''t be a concern at all.


    Even if she couldn''t marry Grant, she couldn''t stand the thought of that in-looking Chloe bing Mrs. Martin.


    With this in mind, Sophia took out her phone and pulled up her old ssmates'' contact list, starting to reach out to Isidora.


    "Hey, Isidora, it''s Sophia. We met at that reunion a while back..."


    "Yeah, I''m working at the Martin Group now. How''s your brother doing? I heard he still needs a lot of money for his medical bills."


    "Oh... really? Are you free in the next few days? How about we meet up? I have something to discuss with you."


    Sophia set up a meeting with Isidora over the phone.


    After hanging up, Sophia stared at a photo of Chloe, her face darkening with malice. "You think you can be Mrs. Martin? No way. You made me suffer like this. I will never let you off easy."


    The next morning, Grant drove Chloe to school. After watching her enter Quest University, he sat in his car and started giving Stanley instructions for the day.


    "Stanley, call Floyd and have him visit Chloe''s mediapany today to discuss signing with them."


    Stanley was taken aback. He furrowed his brow and asked, "Mr. Martin, you want Mr. Gonzalez to sign with Miss Davis''s mediapany?"


    Grant nodded. "Yeah, Floyd said he doesn''t want to be a doctor anymore, nor does he want to keep painting. So, I''ll find him a third career."


    Stanley was full of doubts. "But Mr. Martin, you''re in a bet with Miss Davis. If Mr. Gonzalez signs with herpany, in six months, her smallpany might outperform the one under your name. If that happens, won''t people think Miss Davis is better at business than you?"


    Stanley''s concern was valid.


    Unexpectedly, Grant''s face showed a slight smile. "So what if she''s better than me?"


    "But Mr. Martin, don''t forget the terms of your bet with Miss Davis. If her smallpany does better than yours, she''ll break off the engagement with the Martin family."


    Stanley was sweating with anxiety. He couldn''t understand why Grant, who clearly liked Chloe so much, was doing things that seemed to push her away.


    Hearing that, Grant''s expression turned serious. "I like her and want to marry her, but I don''t want her to think our future is tied together because of an engagement. I want to be with her, regardless of the engagement."


    Grant''s words were deep, and Stanley struggled to fully grasp them. But as a top-notch assistant, Stanley''s main strength was his ability to execute orders. After receiving Grant''s instructions, he quickly contacted Floyd.


    Chloe spent the entire morning diligently attending sses.


    During a break, she received a message from Zara.


    Zara: [Chloe, just to update you, we signed our first new talent today. He''s a guy, very handsome, like a heartthrob.]


    Chloe had never been impressed with Zara''s taste, especially since Zara had a soft spot for the chatty Michael.


    Chloe replied: [Pics or it didn''t happen. I want to see the new guy''s photo.]


    A few minutester, Zara sent a photo of Floyd signing the contract in the office.


    Seeing Floyd''s face, Chloe felt a chill run down her spine. Sitting in the ssroom, she couldn''t help but exim, "No way, it''s him?"


    Philip, who was chatting with ssmates, heard Chloe and came over. "Chloe, what''s up?"


    If you''re loving the book, nel5s is where the adventure continues. Join us for theplete experience-all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! Philip and Chloe had known each other from their previous school, and they had always gotten along well. Philip genuinely considered Chloe a good friend.


    Chloe pointed at the photo of Floyd on her phone and said, "Him... Mr. Gonzalez from the Gonzalez family. He studied medicine but decided to join my newpany as an actor."


    "A medical student turning into an actor? That''s something." Philip took Chloe''s phone and looked at Floyd''s photo. After a moment, he said, "Chloe, I have to admit, this guy looks good. He might bring some profit to yourpany.


    I think you can find him a partner and form a duo. It might work out even better." Chloe agreed with Philip''s suggestion. But with only six months for the bet with Grant, where could she find a partner for Floyd in such a short time?


    While Chloe was feeling stressed, Philip enthusiastically presented himself. He patted his chest confidently and said, "Chloe, how about you sign me? I think my looks are decent, and most importantly, I learned to sing when I was in school. With a bit of training, I could be a strong pir for your smallpany''s development." "What do you think of me?" he asked confidently.


    To showcase his strengths in front of Chloe, Philip spared no effort to strike various poses. He first stood tall and straight, showing off his good posture, then adopted some graceful modeling stances, and finally even mimicked the iconic moves of several famous singers, gesturing animatedly.


    Chloe couldn''t help butugh, covering her mouth as she watched Philip''s amusing exhibition. Though his actions were a bit exaggerated, she couldn''t deny that he did have some potential for bing a star.


    While they were chatting andughing, a ssmate took out their phone and snapped


    a picture of Chloe and Philip, quickly sending it to Grant.
