Aside from that, his entire body felt weak, his limbs heavy as lead. Every slight movement was exhausting.
Silas Sinclair strictly forbade anyone from telling Summer Vance about his condition.
Whenever Summer came to deliver meals, Silas forced himself to look energized. The moment she left, he would throw up everything.
Just as he barely managed to recover some strength, the next meal arrived.
Franklin felt exhausted just watching him.
Alaric Sinclair, however, simply chuckled. "Franklin, my boy, if chasing a wife isn't hard work, he'll never know how to cherish her later."

After leaving the hospital, Summer headed to Starlight Media. She knew the entertainment industry was notoriously toxic, filled with unspoken rules and shady deals.
But her company didn't play those games.
Summer initiated a ruthless restructuring. She fired those who needed to be fired and promoted those who deserved it.
She strictly prohibited entertaining clients with drinks, pimping, and casting couch practices, setting up an open hotline for anyone to report misconduct.
The company organized various training courses to enhance their artists' core professional skills, tailoring intensive programs to each individual's strengths.
No matter the industry, actual talent was the only real currency.
A week later, Starlight Media had a completely new vibe. Even the air felt fresher.
However, because of Summer's sweeping reforms, Starlight Media stood out like a sore thumb among its peers.
Inevitably, this led to them being secretly ostracized and targeted by other agencies.
Their business volume dropped by nearly fifty percent.
Hospital.
When Summer delivered Silas's meal, he handed her a file.
"The Sinclair Group is changing its brand ambassador recently. See if there's anyone suitable in your company."
Starlight Media didn't have any A-list celebrities. Their biggest star was an actor who recently gained fame playing a devoted second male lead.
Despite his recent popularity, he still wasn't big enough for a massive corporate empire like the Sinclair Group.
"Are you sure?" Summer asked.
"It's just a brand ambassador," Silas said with a smile, taking a bite of his BBQ ribs. "As long as they haven't committed any crimes or had any moral scandals, their current fame isn't an issue. Whoever the Sinclair Group chooses becomes an A-lister."
