"You want to come too?" Isaac was taken aback. "Is that really appropriate?"

Mr. Graham was a distinguished figure, and this meeting is likely about business. Bringing his newly eighteen-year-old daughter along seemed out of place. "Why not?" Gia said as she walked over and playfully linked her arm with his "Dad, I promise I won't be a distraction."

She paused, lifting her chin with a proud glint in her eyes. "Let me tell you, I'm an up-and-coming designer under the moniker Yaen. I just won first prize in the International Diamond Jewelry Design Competition! I'm currently setting up my own studio and planning to launch my jewelry brand. Many investors are eager to collaborate with me." The Graham Group is heavily involved in diamond mining, so I believe Mr. Graham and I will have plenty to discuss." Now, with her prestigious background and rising status in the jewelry design world, she felt she was finally worthy of standing beside Mr. Graham. "Oh my gosh, you're Yaen?" Regina exclaimed, standing up with her hands on her cheeks, as if she were a fan meeting her idol. "Sweetheart, I adore your work. You're a genius! I'm so proud of you, and I want to tell all of Kitmore City about your achievements!" achievements!

Regina was a jewelry enthusiast, always up-to-date with the latest releases from various brands. Just last month, she had admired Yaen's Dream series and had been thinking about buying a set.

Little did she know, Yaen was her own daughter! She was so overjoyed she could hardly contain herself.

Gia smiled modestly. "It's nothing, really. I'm just starting out and have a long way to go.

Isaac was stunned, taking a moment before patting his daughter's shoulder, "Gia, you're truly amazing! Why didn't you tell me something so important sooner! If I had known, I would have announced it to the world! Know that your mom and I fully support your dreams..." Micah, Isaac's assistant, kept glancing at his watch and finally couldn't hold back. "Mr. Kennedy, it's twenty minutes to nine. If you want to meet Mr. Graham, we need to leave now." Isaac snapped back to reality. "Oh, right."

"Gia, you're coming with me." "Im going too," Andrew said confidently as he stood up. "The TV series I starred in premiered two days ago, and it's doing exceptionally well. Industry insiders predict it will be a huge hit. Several brands have already contacted my agent about advertising and endorsement deals." "Once I meet Mr. Graham, I can prioritize doing ads and endorsements for the Graham Group's products." Andrew

continued.

The Graham Group was one of the top global conglomerates, capable of influencing national and even global economies. If he could establish a connection with the heir of the Graham Group, the possibilities for his future would be limitless. Zoe, who had accompanied him, couldn't help but suppress a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth. She wanted to tell him that, since he had just returned to the country, he might not be aware that the Graham Group has never collaborated with newcomers for advertising to avoid potential risks that could harm their brand.

With just a minute to spare before nine o'clock, father and daughter arrived, slightly out of breath, at the private suite on the top floor of the club. Each suite on this floor had its own elevator, ensuring privacy. Anyone who could afford a suite here was certainly well-off. Isaac was confident that the person who had invited him
