He Buried Me But I Painted My Own Resurrection novel Chapter 226

Bright and early the next morning, Hunter Hale called via video chat.

Her striking, professional face filled the screen.

"Good morning, K," Hunter greeted her in French, her tone breezy, a smile dancing in her blue eyes.

But she quickly pivoted to business. "Did you see the email from The Gauthier Group?"

"Just saw it."

The email had arrived in the dead of night; she had spotted it as soon as she woke up.

Hunter asked, "From a purely business standpoint, the terms Grant offered are generous to the point of... stupidity."

"He's proposing a five-year exclusive strategic partnership. The Gauthier Group wants to establish a personal art foundation for you and invest in a global chain of private galleries named after K."

"Every luxury real estate brand and high-end fashion line under their umbrella will be heavily tied to your IP. They're promising billions of dollars in resources to make you the most commercially valuable living artist in the world."

Hunter paused, a teasing note entering her voice. "And best of all, you have absolute veto power over every single project."

"Basically, he's throwing money and power at you with zero restrictions. It's less of a partnership and more of a total surrender."

That was exactly Grant's style.

He was used to smashing down doors with sheer wealth and power. In his mind, there was nothing money couldn't buy. If someone said no, it just meant he hadn't offered enough.

"He's certainly throwing his weight around."

Sienna took a sip of ice water, the sharp chill sliding down her throat and clearing the tangled thoughts in her mind.

Hunter looked at her sharply. "A shameless piece of trash like him? I say ignore him completely. Besides, Artemia Agency isn't hurting for partners, and as K, you certainly don't need The Gauthier Group."

"No."

Sienna shook her head, a calculative gleam in her eye. "Don't reject him outright."

"Oh?" Hunter arched an eyebrow, intrigued.
