After picking up Matilda, the three of them headed to Ramshorn on the outskirts.


    Aubree had already arranged with Sylvia to visit the set under the guise of a casual check-in. She would have a break during filming, and Aubree nned to talk with her then.


    Before arriving, Aubree bought coffee and desserts out of her own pocket.


    When they got there, Sylvia was still filming, so they waited by the side, quickly drawing quite a few curious nces.


    All three of them were good-looking, even by entertainment industry standards, so people began to specte whether they were neers signed by Peace Entertainment trying to get a cameo in the drama.


    As Aubree watched Sylvia act, a strange sense of familiarity crept over her. She felt like she had seen this scene.


    She frowned and thought for a moment, then her pupils suddenly contracted. She remembered. This drama featured Trevor. He was ying the male lead.


    Just my luck…’ Aubree thought.


    Aubree couldn’t describe her feelings. She didn’t want any further entanglements with that family. If any had to happen, it would only be her reiming everything she’d once lost.


    She scanned the set. Trevor wasn’t around. It was a small blessing amidst the trouble. He probably didn’t have scenes today and hadn’te.


    After a while, Sylvia finally finished filming.


    “Sorry to keep you waiting,” she said. Upon seeing the three young visitors, she was surprised. They looked just like high school students.


    But as a professional actress, she kept herposure. With a graceful smile, she shook hands with all three, showing respect.


    “Hello, let me introduce myself. I’m Aubree Miller, the owner of Bree Technology. This is my friend Matilda Diaz, and this is Alvin Turner, a shareholder.” Aubree gave a brief self-introduction.


    Sylvia was surprised that Aubree was actually the boss.


    She was sure none of them were over 18 or 19, yet here they were, running apany and with such a bold, innovative idea.


    “About the project you mentioned over the phone. Could you exin it to me in more detail?” Sylvia asked.


    “Of course,” Aubree replied, noting with satisfaction that Sylvia’s reaction to her identity as a young boss showed no contempt, only admiration and interest. She liked this kind of partner.


    The app’s initial version had already beenpleted, and Bree Technology had started hiring more staff, forming a basic


    structure.


    Aubree pulled out prepared documents and began detailing yzy.


    She exined, “We’re in the final stages of development. Once testing confirms stability and we fix any bugs, we can begin public beta testing. Later, if the tform attracts influencers withrge followings, Peace Entertainment could sign and develop them.”

    Aubree borated on how live-streaming and short video content had boomed inter years, allowing ordinary people to rise to stardom. Influencer managementpanies flourished alongside. So it was better to seize the opportunity first and earn the money.


    Sylvia was tempted, but she also had reservations.


    She suggested, “From the draft contract you showed me, it seems my artists will enter the tform for free, and from the earnings through the gift system, the split is 70-30 in favor of the talent?”


    She added, “That means if it fails, not only would my artists waste their time, but it could be a reputational risk.”


    The benefits were promising, but so were the risks.


    “70-30 is already me giving up a lot. The standard is 50-50,” Aubree said calmly. She hadn’t even considered the possibility of failure. yzy was bound to seed as long as it ran normally.


    But of course, she couldn’t exactly tell Sylvia that she had lived a second life and knew the future.


    “All


    your concerns arepletely unnecessary. The only reasons yzy might fail are ack of follow-up funding or unsessful promotion and traffic generation.” Alvin suddenly spoke up, drawing Sylvia’s attention.


    ‘He’s the shareholder, and his surname is Turner?’ Sylvia thought.


    Sylvia suddenly had a sh of insight. ‘Wait… could he be from that Turner family?’


    “The investor backing Bree Technology is the Turner family,” Alvin said inly, confirming Sylvia’s hunch.


    Her hesitation disappeared instantly. “I can have the contract signed and sent to Bree Technology today.”


    Aubree lit up. “Then I look forward to a great partnership with you.”


    Matilda, ever observant, noticed things being carried into the set. “Our food’s arrived.”


    “What food?” Sylvia asked.


    “We came under the pretense of visiting you, so I thought we should bring something for the crew, just to show some goodwill and build a positive impression,” Aubree exined.


    Since no one knew them, the credit for this gesture would naturally fall to Sylvia.


    “You really went all out.” Sylvia smiled sincerely.


    She liked Aubree. Aubree was sharp, straightforward, and easy to work with.


    With the food delivered and business settled, Aubree didn’t linger and left with her twopanions.


    What she didn’t know was that shortly after she left, Trevor arrived with a woman in his arms.


    His appearance instantly drew attention. Many of the crew were his fans. After all, Trevor was charismatic and charming.


    “Sylvia, did you buy these?” he asked casually, helping himself.


    Sylvia shook her head. “They were from a friend. Aubree Miller. Do you know her?”


    “Aubree Miller!” Trevor froze, dessert in hand, unsure whether to eat or set it down.


    Sylvia asked, “You know her?”


    Trevor said, “If you mean a very pretty girl who looks about 17 or 18… then probably.”


    Sylvia raised her brows. “That’s her.”


    Trevor was confident it was the Aubree he knew.


    The woman in his arms immediately grew displeased. “Trevor, is this another one of your old flings?”


    “Come on, no way. She’s my little sister,” he said, though his eyes betrayed a moreplicated feeling.


    He pondered, ‘Aubree hade looking for Sylvia? But do they know each other?’


    He couldn’t think of any reason for her toe other than for him.


    His eyes darkened a little, probing, “Sylvia, did my sister say what she came for? Did she mention me?”


    Sylvia was confused. They were siblings, but they didn’t share the samest name. Even Alice’sst name wasn’t Miller.


    Still, there was no reason for Trevor to lie about this.


    “Your sister is quite something! So young and alreadying up with brilliant ideas. And she started apany on her own!” Sylvia said, still a little in awe.


    Trevor was stunned. He pressed again, more urgently, “She didn’te for me?”


    He thought all this food was her way of trying to get his attention. He thought she was trying to show affection by offering gifts to the crew.


    “Aubree didn’t mention you,” Sylvia replied, giving Trevor a curious look. He seemed a bit annoyed when she praised Aubree.


    Trevor caught himself under her gaze, forced a smile, and joked, “Guess I’m not a very good brother.”


    “Well then, I’ll take Evie to go find the director,” he added, guiding the woman beside him away.


    The moment he turned, his smile disappeared, and his eyes filled with mixed emotions.
