Chapter 1354
"Hello, Mr. Smith and... Miss Diana"
"Wow, Dad, she''s calling my name!" Diana was excited, while Axel by her side was surprised. Didn''t
expect Ms. Summers to have fans abroad.
Seeing Diana so excited and happy, Smith turned to Chloe and asked, "And who are you?"
Chloe smiled. "I''m Star.."
Someone nearby took over the conversation. "This is Ms. Chloe. She''s the CEO of Starlight
International and is always being targeted by Ms.
Wendy. She owns a 25% share in Peck Innovations, and her mom, Yasmine, is the chairwoman of
Peck Innovations! I believe this should prove our strength to Mr. Smith!"
Chloe felt nervous listening to the praise; she was pretty modest.
Upon hearing this, Cole was shocked and staring at the screen. "Peck Innovations is yours?!"
Chloe nced at Cole calmly but chose to ignore him.
"Mr. Smith, it’s a pleasure to meet you. As for the contract, the terms were decided after
comprehensive evaluation by our professional teams. I believe you have good judgment, but it''s
hard to see the specifics just by looking at the contract. In fact, Peck Innovations is not arge-scale
company, and the initial investment in this deal is already our limit. Although this is a must-win
project, we need funds for further expansion beyond just profit recovery. Therefore, I hope for your
assistance, Mr. Smith, and look forward to your support.
Chloe''s words left Smith a bit stunned. He didn''t expect her to be so upfront.
Smallpanies needed to grow, so she needed a slightlyrger share, which was totally his favor
to help thepany grow. So candid and respectful, Smith would feel embarrassed if he refused.
"Of course, I believe that only when thepany develops can we have better and more perfect
cooperation, don''t you think?"
Chloe really left Smith no room to refuse with just a few words. She guaranteed long-term benefits
and didn''t rule out future cooperation. Solely in terms of investment return, Smith had no reason to
refuse.
What a smart woman.
But if it were someone else, Smith might not have believed them. However, for some reason,
Chloe''s confidence, and candidness, as well as her natural aura, made people want to trust her!
"Dad, are you going to work with Star? Please say yes! Can I ask her for an autograph? Can I be an
actress in herpany in the future?"
Smith didn''t even have a chance to speak before Diana excitedly grabbed his arm. Her eyes were
shining. Smith helplessly patted Diana''s head.
"Don''t be silly"
Diana immediately looked disappointed. "Dad, don''t you want to work with Star? She''s so good and
smart. I want to be like her, independent and smart."
"Independent and smart? I thought you always dreamed of being a princess.’ Smith was a bit
pleased. Independence and intelligence sounded promising.
"Yes! Being independent and smart can be helpful to protect myself and the people I love. Isn''t that
good?"
Smith looked at Diana, surprised. After a while, he suddenlyughed happily. "Good, that''s my girl!"
Diana''s eyes lit up again. "So you mean you agree to cooperate?"
Smith kissed Diana on the forehead, then looked up at Chloe on the screen.
"I don''t know much about you, but I think you''re someone I can trust."
Chloe smiled. "Thank you for your trust! I''ll do my best not to let you down"
Smith nodded, then signed the contract. Chloe watched his casual signing action, her smile
deepening a bit.
Smith continued, "Although I don''t know much about you, I''m d my daughter Diana has the right
life goal and values because of you. I want to thank you"
Chloe''s gaze lingered on Diana for a few seconds, her smile even warmer. "I''m honored, and I hope
you can be the person you dream to be"
Diana nodded firmly, her eyes shining. "I want to be an actress in the future, can you be my agent?"
Chloe chuckled. "I believe by then you''ll be the best actress even without me. But I do look forward
to being your agent:"
"Thank you! You''ve made me more determined about my dream."
Chloe looked at her, a smile in her eyes. "And I hope you can take good care of yourself."
Hearing this, Smith''s joyful face immediately turned serious. He looked at Cole, who was still sitting
next to him.

"Mr. Cole, what are you still doing here? I''ve decided not to work with you. As you can see, I''ve
chosen to work with Star! I hope you understand that even as businessmen, we should have
morals! Don''t tell me you don''t know about Infinity Media''s misconduct! I''m very disappointed in
you!"
Cole''s forehead veins bulged, and he suddenly stood up and stormed out of the meeting room.
His team members packed up their belongings one by one, not daring to lift their heads, and quickly
followed him out.
“What do we do now? We''ve prepared for so long...
if we fail, thepany''s losses will be unimaginable!"
Cole was so angry his head was about to explode.
Hearing what the man behind him said, he rubbed his temples and said with a serious face, "Go talk
to our partners again and see if we can salvage this"
The others looked at each other. They were already scolded just for answering the phone. If they
tried to talk to people now, they would probably be chased away before they even met. They had
nned to go back home today, but it seemed they might have had to stay here longer.
Infinity Media, a 24-story building, was now only upied by Wendy. The only bustling area was the
entrance downstairs, all full of journalists.
Fans of various artists kept trickling in, blocking the entrance of Infinity Media so tight that not even
a drop of water could get through. All the fans were super jittery right now, scared that their beloved
artists would get dragged into this whole mess.
Forcing no-name female artists to sell themselves for coboration opportunities. If the reporters
dug deeper into this, who knew which celebs had profited from it and were gonna get pulled into this
whole thing.
But to distance their favorite artists from this shadypany, that was the only thing the fans could
do.
After seeing the news, Grace rushed to thepany. She got into the office, only to find Wendy
sitting there, the whole office already wrecked beyond recognition.
