Charles scoffed. “And you think she wrote that email? Please. It was Leo. He’s just using her name to make her seem important.”

He gestured toward the center of the banquet hall, where Leo and Sarah were now the focus of attention.

Leo had just openly praised Sarah, emphasizing her contributions to STARLINE

People smiled politely, offering congratulations, but underneath, there was skepticism.

They saw her as Leo’s favorite, nothing more.

At that moment, Clark stepped forward.

He approached Leo and Sarah, greeting Leo warmly with an easy smile. His expression was far less welcoming when his gaze flickered to Sarah.

Leo’s face darkened slightly as he saw Clark, his usual composure faltering just enough to be noticeable.

Clark, of course, noticed.

He was already irritated, convinced that Sarah had been whispering in Leo’s ear about what happened at STARLINE. He was certain she had poisoned Leo’s opinion of him.

This daughter of his is just too small–minded.

With an exaggerated smile, Clark turned back to Leo.

“I made a trip to STARLINE Studios two days ago,” he said smoothly. “I wonder if you know anything about it?”
