Netizen A: [Wonderfull Leon is safe now! Thank you so much, Xander! We will support your next movie!]

Netizen B: [Xander. I love you! Thank you for helping Leon fend off those bad romantic interests! We will always remember your kindness!]

Netizen C: [Oh, no! Xander, do you really like pigs that much?]

Netizen D: [Why did you have to pick the pig? What’s so great about pigs anyway? Xander, do you know you’re about to be shipped with Mia?]

Xander pierced the balloon and was about to open it for display when Andrew stopped him. “Xander, don’t open it yet. We want to keep the suspense and will reveal everything together after all the remaining guests have finished their drawings.”

“Alright.” Xander nodded.

He entered the villa as well, holding the note.

Hudson looked at the scene and smiled mischievously. “Xylia, do you think that it’s a kite on that note?”

Xylia considered for a moment and nodded. “Balloons with identical patterns probably contain identical

notes.

“That’s not necessarily the case.” Hudson leaned back, resting lazily in his chair. “You know too little about Leon.

Xylia looked at Hudson with a puzzled expression

Hudson kindly explained to her, “In other words, regardless of whether that note is currently labeled ‘kite, the note with kite‘ written on it will ultimately end up in Leon’s hands.”

Xylia tried to discern the underlying meaning in Hudson’s words.

Then, she looked at Hudson in shock. “Are you suggesting that Leon would engage in behind–the–scenes. manipulation?”

Hudson nodded with composed assurance.

At that point, Xylia’s perception of Leon shifted somewhat.

She didn’t expect that, for the sake of love, Leon had resorted to such methods.

Xylia and Hudson were watching the livestream of the romance reality show attentively in the hospital room.

Meanwhile, Joshua and Burke had arranged to meet at a fancy restaurant.

The two sat facing each other by the window. The surroundings were silent, and not another person was

present.

Burke smiled as he teased Joshua, as if they were quite well acquainted. “Mr. Garcia, you are as generous as ever. You’ve even reserved the entire restaurant.”

Joshua did not intend to waste words with him and immediately got straight to the point. “I agree to the cooperation you previously proposed.”

“You agree?” Burke appeared surprised, yet the smile at the corner of his lips remained steady, as if he had spent a long time preparing for this day,

He mocked. “Mr. Garcia, your previous attitude gave me the illusion that you would never work with me. How come you want to collaborate with me now?”

His sarcasm was evident, but he did not embarrass Joshua.

The corners of Joshua’s lips still curved into a faint smile. “You know well why I agreed to cooperate.”

Burke was smiling and was about to continue to say something.

But Joshua obviously had no patience for any back–and–forth and interrupted him directly. I will personally travel to Kregonia to negotiate this collaboration. You have one month to prepare the details of the cooperation. We will depart on time after one month.”

Burke’s smile stiffened for a brief moment, but quickly returned to normal.

He shrugged his shoulders and very willingly reached out to Joshua. “It’s a pleasure working with you.”

Here’s to a pleasant collaboration.

Joshua glanced at Burke’s hand, the corner of his eye tinged with mockery.

He stood up and looked down at Burke. He had no intention of shaking hands with Burke, cast an indifferent glance at him, and left the restaurant without hesitation.

Burke withdrew his hand, yet his expression showed none of the expected embarrassment.

After Joshua left, he called the waiter and ordered food.

Subsequently, he made a call to a certain person far away in Kregonia. “He has agreed. Wishing us a pleasant collaboration.

Connor received a call from Jupiton. There was a problem at the company, and he must hurry back.

Tessa had been distressed over repeated setbacks at work over the past two days.

She had confined herself to her room and had not gone out for several days.

Before leaving, Connor knocked on Tessa’s door.

He waited for a long time but got no response.

Connor gave the doorknob a slight turn and found that the door was not locked.

He opened the door, and before stepping inside, the disarray covering the floor immediately caught his eye.

All the cosmetics, clothing, and bags were thrown to the floor by Tessa as a way to vent her anger.

Connor frowned slightly when he saw Tessa shumped on the carpet, and he could not bear to be indifferent.

He walked over, crouched in front of Tessa, and quietly comforted her, “I will help you in arranging the work. However, the production company is very small and requires investment.”

Only then did Tessa raise her head and glance at Connor. “Do you mean that?”

Connor nodded. “There has been an issue at Ford Group, and I must return. Freshen up and get some rest. We will head back tonight.”

Tessa was not reconciled to it.

However, since Connor had already said so, she felt it would be inappropriate to keep asking.

Seeing that Connor was neatly dressed and seemed about to go you going?”

put, she asked, “Are you going out? Where are

Connor did not respond to Tessa immediately. After hesitating for a split second, he finally said, “I’ve g something to deal with. Don’t worry about it.”

He patted Tessa’s shoulder and said with forced gentleness, “See you.”

Tessa watched Connor’s departing figure, a vague suspicion forming in her mind. Connor must be going out to see Xylia.

She ran her fingers through her disheveled hair. The frustration in her chest refused to dissipate. She rose, casually put on a jacket, and followed Connor outside.

Connor first went to Xylia’s studio to look for her.

When Josie saw that it was Connor, she was cold toward him and did not tell him where Xylia was.

Unexpectedly, the newly hired employee suddenly asked Josie, “Josie, when are we going to Norhill Central Hospital to visit Ms. Sadler?”
