He was getting old. The idea of starting a brand new company felt exhausting. All he wanted now was to hold on to the business he’d built with his own hands and watch it keep growing in Lydia’s care.
Lydia glanced at him. “Okay.”
Clark was surprised she agreed so easily. His opinion of her shifted again. If he were in her shoes, he probably would have taken the chance to kick him out of the company and send him packing. But Lydia… she just said yes.
He’d been alive for most of a lifetime, yet somehow his heart was smaller than that of an eighteen-year-old girl. No wonder she’d accomplished so much so young.
He looked over at his own son, who spent his days lazing around and achieving nothing. He used to complain that Lydia was cold, always stiff and never interested in dressing up. But as soon as Sandy came back, his son immediately clung to her. And what did that get him? Absolutely nothing. He really had no idea what he was missing out.
So completely blind.
Meanwhile, over at Capital airport, a huge crowd of fans was gathered, waving light-up signs and banners, waiting for their idol to show up.
Suddenly, a figure appeared, escorted by security. He was tall with a lean frame, broad shoulders and a slim waist, looking like he’d just stepped out of a fashion shoot. Dressed in trendy clothes, he moved with an effortless confidence that radiated style.
His features were sharp and striking, as if they’d been carved by an artist. His eyes were deep and bright, like a sky full of stars. His straight, prominent nose gave his face a bold edge, while his lips, thin and a little bit sexy, pulled into a charming smile. His slightly wavy hair gave him a rebellious, romantic vibe. He looked like a prince straight out of a painting, the kind of handsome that could make you forget to breathe.
This was Elliot, the most popular superstar who turned heads no matter where he went.
“Ahhh! Elliot!”
“We love you!”
If it hadn’t been for the ongoing film shoot, and the rule that he couldn’t just leave whenever he wanted, he would have flown home long ago just to see his sister.
Leo raised an eyebrow. Lately, every time they talked, Elliot brought up how much he wanted to see his sister. If Leo hadn’t kept persuading him to stay put, Elliot probably would have ditched the movie set and come running home.
“Well, you’re back now. Want me to come with you to meet her?” Leo was just as curious to see what the Norwood family’s real daughter looked like. Rumor had it the Norwood genes were top-tier, with both brains and beauty. If Elliot’s sister turned out to be a knockout, maybe she’d have a shot in the entertainment world.
Elliot gave him a look. “I haven’t even met her yet. You think I’m going to let you see her first?”
Besides, he’d told his family he’d be home tomorrow. He wanted to surprise his sister.
Leo chuckled, shaking his head. “Alright, alright. But when you see her, ask if she wants to get into showbiz. If she’s interested, I’ll make sure she gets the best training.”

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
