He recounted numerous amusing anecdotes about Ste, each bringing a burst ofughter from Be.


    Stecked vivid memories of many incidents Clint mentioned.


    Sheughed along when he recounted them, though some stories were so mortifying that she couldn’t lift her head.


    Seeing Be’s joyousughter, Ste refrained from objecting.


    Yet, when Matthew also chuckled, she couldn’t resist pinching him discreetly while giving him a stern look.


    Matthew hastily covered his mouth, struggling to suppress his amusement.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    At the dinner table, the atmosphere was lively, except for Kristian, who appeared uneasy and smiled awkwardly.

    As the meal neared its end, Be addressed Clint, saying, “I actually invited you here today because I have something significant to announce, and I wanted you to be here to witness it.


    ”


    Clint instinctively turned toward Ste at Be’s words.


    Ste looked perplexed, unaware of what wasing.


    Kristian frowned, sensing something unsettling was about to be disclosed.


    His instincts warned him it involved Ste and it might not be something he would wee.


    Be then dered unequivocally, “I’ve decided it’s time.


    I’m not getting any younger, and I n to gradually transition the management of the studio to Ste.


    She’ll take full control.


    I’ll teach her everything I’ve learned throughout my life.


    ”


    She spoke with resolve.


    Kristian listened, his fists clenched tightly, veins pronounced against his skin.


    But Be wasn’t finished.


    After discussing the studio, she continued, “I wasn’t there for Ste during her childhood, and I’ve been feeling guilty.


    Going forward, I intend to make amends.


    I’ll be transferring all my assets to her.


    ”


    The revtion stunned both Ste and Clint, while Matthew remainedposed.


    Everything unfolded so suddenly that it took Ste some time to process what had happened.


    She had assumed Be merely wanted to take her on as an apprentice; she hadn’t anticipated being offered the entire studio and property.


    With her thoughts in disarray, Ste finally broke her silence, her voice tentative.


    “Is it too early to make such a decision? Besides, I already have my own studio.


    ”


    Be turned to Clint for his input.


    “What do you think?”


    Clint, cautious not to overstep, responded, “It’s Ste’s decision to make.


    I’ll support whatever you both decide.


    ”


    Clint was pleased to see Be’s high regard for Ste, and it brought him some relief.


    Meanwhile, Kristian struggled to contain his emotions, taking some time to calm his nerves.


    Once somewhatposed, he frowned and posed his question to Be.


    “Why wasn’t I consulted about such a critical decision?”


    He waspletely taken by surprise by the announcement and felt sidelined without a chance to intervene.


    Be, puzzled by his reaction, responded, “Who else would I entrust my belongings to if not my own daughter?”
