The summit lasted three full days, and when it finally concluded, Cross Group secured several major government–backed projects. Every night was spent in business dinners for the entire week following the event, leaving little time for anything else.

Meanwhile, Charmaine found herself with plenty of free time. Aside from attending school, she spent her days sketching and playing the piano at home.

Hahaha!

“And get this.

even their fourth son, Zayn–the so–called academic prodigy who just returned from abroad -got kicked out of his research group by his own professor. Hah! And it’s all thanks to Leah! If she hadn’t stolen my performance slot, the Nelsons wouldn’t have embarrassed themselves this badly. She’s seriously cursed–single–handedly dragging down her entire family!
