Chapter 193

They wanted Jarrod to accompany her onstage.

That would change everything.

Jarrod was already at the top of the city's social hierarchy-his presence beside Sylvie wouldn't just be support; it would elevate her status in front of everyone.

The room was packed with C-suite executives from the biggest corporations.

Witnessing this scene firsthand, no one would dare underestimate Sylvie after tonight. Doors would swing wide open for her in every circle.

By now, she understood just how much Jarrod valued Sylvie, how deeply he cherished her. Nothing about his actions surprised her anymore.

He checked his watch, a hint of regret in his eyes as he leaned in and said softly,

"I have a call coming in soon-international, can't reschedule. You go ahead."
