Chapter 53

The project summit was packed. The entrance swarmed with reporters, cameras flashing.

Inside, staff led my parents and Serena to a corner. All three wore confident smiles. They thought Aaroc had brought them ham project as an apology.

Serena smoothed her skirt, chin raised proudly. She whispered to my father, “See? Aaron wouldn’t dare mess with us over LouGH HOT! project.”

My father nodded, full of anticipation. They truly believed this was their victory. They were walking right into Joshua’s trap

Nearby, Aaron stood outside with a grim face. After being thrown out yesterday, he’d spent all night trying to reach me, but Joshua’s secur too tight. This summit was his only chance. As an organizer, Joshua would be here. So would !.

Aaron clenched his fists. He’d take me away today, no matter what. He took a deep breath, straightened his suit, and pushed open the heary doors.

The moment he stepped in, dozens of cameras turned toward him. The game began.

The host walked on stage, holding the cooperation agreement. His voice boomed through the microphone. “After the jury’s final decision, the partner for this key project is… the Elliott Corporation!”

Then, with a soft smile, he wrapped an arm around my shoulders. “That’s why I’ve decided to let Louisa take full responsibility. All profits will go to her. She’s the one who truly deserves this.”

For a moment, silence. Then thunderous applause. Cameras clicked wildly. Under the blazing spotlight, I looked down at the stunned crowd. Aaron’s face was twisted with rage, his furious eyes locked on Joshua’s hand holding mine. Nearby, my parents stood utterly stunned. The truth hit them: I was alive. Their eyes showed anger, but then they realized something. If /controlled the project and its profits, the Harvey Family could

Their faces shifted instantly. They forced smiles and rushed to the stage, voices overly sweet. “Louisa! Joshua! We knew you wouldn’t abandon
