Samuel’s face turned pale.

“Please look at the market research section.”

He stood so quickly he nearly knocked over an expensive decorative sculpture.

Vanessa suddenly pointed at Iris.

“It’s her, isn’t it?”

“She said something to you!”

She’d already noticed how often Zane glanced toward Iris.

“Mr. Walker, this girl is our former foster daughter.” Her voice sharpened. “She poisoned her younger sister and was kicked out of our home.”

“Her character is terrible.”

“You absolutely cannot trust anything she says.”

The instant those words left Vanessa’s mouth, Zane understood exactly why Iris had chosen to reject the proposal.

“Please calm down.” He rubbed his temple. “We’re discussing business—”

“Then stop looking at her!” Vanessa interrupted. “She’s just an assistant!”

“If you have questions, ask us directly.”

“You can’t reject our proposal because of personal issues!”

Zane stared at the increasingly emotional couple.

A thought crossed his mind.

Had Iris been too kind to them over the years?

Had she spoiled them into believing they could behave like this in the headquarters of Stellar Ventures?

Finally, he held up a hand.

“Here’s what we’ll do.” He slid the proposal aside. “Leave the documents with me. We’ll discuss them internally and get back to you in a few days.”

Vanessa frowned. “A few days? Before, approvals were immediate.”

“That’s enough.” Samuel pulled her back. Then he forced a smile. “We’ll wait for your response, Mr. Walker.”

Unlike his wife, Samuel had noticed something strange.

Zane wasn’t acting normally today.

Pushing harder would only make things worse.

As they prepared to leave, Samuel looked back at Iris one final time.

A high school student.

Not even graduated yet.

And somehow she was working directly beside the head of Stellar Ventures.

Why?

The office door clicked shut.

Zane immediately let out a long breath.

“Boss, you’ve been standing this whole time. Sit down before your back gets worse.”

Iris placed the reports on the desk.

“The third and tenth projects are still worth keeping.”

She flipped through a few pages.

“But neither has long-term growth potential. Once we’ve made enough profit, pull out immediately and monitor market movement closely.”

“Got it.” Zane made a note. Then he hesitated.

“What about the Sutton proposal?”

Iris pointed at the trash can beside the desk.

“Haven’t you already read it?”

Zane looked down at the garbage bin.

Message received.

Then Iris added casually,

“And start phasing out the other projects where we’re basically handing free money to the Sutton family.”

Zane’s eyes lit up.

“Finally.” His expression became one of pure joy.

No more covering Samuel Sutton’s financial disasters.

Every time he reviewed one of the man’s proposals, he fought the urge to pry open his skull and check whether there was concrete where a brain should be.

Lunch break was almost over.

Zane escorted Iris downstairs and called a car to take her back to school.

Meanwhile, Samuel and Vanessa Sutton returned home furious.

Vanessa was still ranting.

“Why did you stop me? We should’ve exposed that little liar right there! She even dared badmouth us to Mr. Walker!”

Halfway through her rant, she suddenly paused.

“Don’t you think Mr. Walker listens to her a little too much?”

The thought planted a seed.

Samuel frowned.

Objectively speaking, Iris was exceptionally beautiful.

Could she have somehow seduced him?

The possibility made his expression darken.

After a long silence, he finally said,

“Forget it for now.” He rubbed his forehead. “Stellar Ventures’ second-anniversary gala is coming up soon.”

“Every major company will be there.”

“We’ll talk to Walker again then.”

After all, powerful men weren’t known for keeping young assistants around forever.

Surely Iris wouldn’t last a month.

Back in Kingsley, the principal of Kingsley High School summoned Olivia out of her advanced placement classroom.

“Olivia.”

The principal smiled warmly.

“You’ve met Ethan Vaughn before, haven’t you?”

Olivia blinked.

The principal continued.

“I’ve heard he thinks very highly of you.”

His smile widened.

“Perhaps you young people could exchange contact information.”

A few days earlier, he’d spoken with the mayor and learned that Ethan still seemed quite interested in the violinist he’d met.

If the mayor’s son was happy…

The mayor might be more generous when approving funding requests this year.

Olivia managed to hide her excitement.

“Of course.”

She smiled modestly.

“I’m honored that someone from Capital University appreciates my violin playing.”

In truth, she did know how to play violin.

And in her opinion, she wasn’t necessarily worse than the mysterious girl Ethan had actually met.

The principal happily forwarded her contact information.

The moment he left, Olivia immediately opened her social media accounts and hid every photo that might expose inconsistencies.

Once Ethan got to know her, he’d realize what an outstanding person she was.

Maybe he’d even forget that mysterious “dream girl” entirely.

Meanwhile, Ethan nearly launched himself out of his chair when Olivia accepted his friend request.

Students throughout the university library looked over in surprise.

Trying to maintain the image of a refined heiress, Olivia spent several minutes carefully crafting each message.

Ethan sent the first one.

“I heard you were injured recently. Are you okay?”
