Chapter 174 Marion chuckled briefly, setting his phone aside as he returned to reviewing his business portfolio. Marion loved making money, but he wasn't exactly a money-lover. To someone with his skills, money was merely a tool - a way to measure his worth.

He could earn it effortlessly. So, what mattered more to him was whom he was making money for and what value he brought to the table.

He chose to stick by Miranda willingly. After his release from prison, it was Miranda who took him in, entrusting him with everything she had. There was no way he'd consider jumping ship easily.

Yet, in the past few months, countless offers had come Marion's way. Headhunters from multinational corporations around the globe offered enticing packages, but Marion turned them all down.

Maximus faced similar pursuits. Many companies and multinationals sought to hire Maximus as their legal advisor or even as their personal lawyer.

After all, having an unbeatable lawyer was like a soldier having a gun - invincible. So, the invitations Maximus received were no less than Marion's.

Both were once high-profile figures, and even after serving time, they still had influential figures eager to extend them an olive branch.

Yet, to everyone's surprise, Maximus chose to serve as a legal advisor for a mere entertainment company. And Marion, once courted by major corporations, was content running an entertainment media company at Zephra.

So, what was it about Zephra?

Miranda's day was as typical as yesterday, heading to school while her assistant Wendy called to check in on her.

Since Miranda had decided to return to school recently, Wendy was enjoying a paid vacation alongside her.

After Miranda's last TV appearance nearly caused a media frenzy, the company's agent advised against overexposure to maintain an air of mystery. Besides, Miranda had some personal matters to attend to, so a break seemed fitting.

"Mira, did you see the post Arabella made today? She's such a manipulator! I can't believe so many fans and online folks are starting to sympathize with her. Are they blind or what?

And those three from the Zade family are spreading rumors about you. While most people have good sense, some are easily swayed by gossip."
