Silas Thorne interrupted him. "No need to go to all that trouble. I have a ready-made partner right here."
Following Silas's instructions, Arthur Vance quickly made the arrangements. It turned out Silas was right—there was indeed a company actively seeking maritime logistics contracts. However, it wasn't the Sinclair Group. It was another New York-based firm led by a man named Yates.
When Arthur reported this back, he felt a wave of apprehension, worried he might be reprimanded for a mix-up. But Mr. Thorne's reaction was entirely unexpected.
Instead of being annoyed by the discrepancy, Silas seemed gripped by a strange, thrilling excitement.
Arthur couldn't quite read him. But Silas had no intention of explaining himself. He simply ordered Arthur to push the project forward and waved him off.
The moment Arthur left, Silas couldn't contain his surging emotions. He paced his office, a triumphant smile breaking across his face. Willow's mystery man wasn't Julian Sinclair after all!
All those things she had said—about "the most important person in her life," about "sharing everything"—none of it was about Julian!
A sudden, exhilarating clarity washed over Silas. If that was the case, could he dare to guess that her relationship with Julian wasn't as solid as it seemed?
Whatever the truth was, this gave him hope.
Word traveled fast, and it didn't take long for Jade Yates to hear the news. She had been spending her days firing off resumes from home, so the moment Willow got off work, Jade practically ambushed her with the update.
"Really?" Willow's eyes lit up. "So, your dad's company is saved? We don't have to deal with Julian anymore?"
"Exactly!" Jade bounced on her toes, practically buzzing with energy. "Guess who stepped in to partner with my dad?"
