<strong> The Right Timing</strong>


    I looked toward the source of the voice and saw Arthur approaching. I was somewhat surprised and quickly went up to greet him, simultaneously avoiding any awkwardness with Liora.


    "Mr. Arthur."


    "Congrattions on your recent achievements," Arthur said with a smile. I felt that he was only doing this because of As. Otherwise, a figure of his status in Foswood wouldn’t bother to congratte me.


    I immediately replied modestly, "Thank you, Mr. Arthur."


    "I never expected you to be so capable. I read the article, and it’s not bad. Our city is truly in need of benchmark enterprises with far-reaching goals, and that aligns with your ambition. Building a brand is indeed not something that ordinary people dare to think about. Many businessmen are only interested in short-term gains andck a long-term vision, so they can’t be great entrepreneurs." Arthur praised me wholeheartedly.


    I noticed Liora''s expression became colder.


    Amused, I decided to provoke her a little more. "You''re too kind with your praises, Mr. Arthur. Indeed, when I first started Tanum Corporation, I had such ideas. Butter, I had to give up because of my daughter. It was just bad timing. Now, I feel the time is ripe for a transition."


    Liora''s face twisted with disdain. She gave me a sidelong nce before arrogantly walking away. Of course, she wouldn''t want to see my progress.


    "Keep up the good work. We do have support policies for enterprises with long-term goals." Arthur said generously.


    I truly appreciated that. Such encouraging policies were indeed necessary.


    "Mr. Arthur, I really need that kind of support. Otherwise, we''re just starting out, and it''s really tough going." I quickly expressed my gratitude. "If there''s a need, I''ll definitelye to you."


    Arthur immediatelyughed heartily, "Of course."


    Just then, Rose and Be walked over, chatting on their way. They seemed quite close. Seeing Arthur and me having a pleasant conversation, Rose spoke up, "Arthur, why are you in such high spirits?"


    "It''s because of this clever Ms. Chloe." Arthur pointed at me and praised, "A woman of great ambitions she is. She has a big heart and is doing an impressive business in the city. Her interior design work is already well known."


    "Oh?"


    "She''s a businesswoman in the Foswood’s construction field. Herpany had just undergone a transformation from supplying building materials to construction and development now. With this transformation, she wishes to build a brand that belongs to Foswood! By the way, her..."

    Rose''s gaze lingered on me for a moment, seemingly understanding. Be, with her elegant smile, added, "Ms. Chloe is indeed capable. She has the same boldness as you did when you were young."


    "Hmm." Rose nodded slightly. "But when ites to women in business, endurance and resilience are key."


    "I will train myself," I humbly replied, eager to learn.


    Rose redirected her gaze to Arthur and said, "Arthur, I have something to discuss with you."


    Then she turned to Be and said, "You stay here and chat with Ms. Chloe."


    Be calmly nodded, "Okay, you go ahead."


    Be''sposed demeanor as she waited for Rose to leave made me admire her inner strength.


    "She is in such good spirits." I eximed genuinely as I watched her brisk steps.


    "Yeah," Be agreed.


    As we both averted our gazes, she turned to me and remarked, "Ms. Chloe, you look really beautiful today, and things seem to be going smoothly for you recently."


    "Be, you''re truly elegant one." I pulled her to sit on the nearby lounge chair. "I''ve actually been preparing for work matters for a long time."


    "Clearly, you''re a person with a n to do big things." She looked at me with a focused gaze. "No wonder Mr. As is so fond of you."


    Blushing, I smiled shyly. "You''re too kind, Be."


    "Oh, Mr. Oliver’s wife passed away." Be informed me in a subdued tone.


    Although not unexpected, the news was still shocking. "So soon? When did it happen?"


    "Last night," Be sighed softly. "After all these years, it can be considered a kind of relief."


    "No wonder there was no news from Lauren today." I spoke calmly. "All three of them are finally at peace."


    We shared an understanding look, both falling silent for a moment. Be’s gaze settled on Jared, and I followed her line of sight, noticing that Trinity and he were inseparable.


    Be suddenly asked me, "What do you think of these two?"


    I understood her question. The fact that she was asking me indicated that she didn''t have any guard up against me. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have engaged in gossip with an outsider.


    "It all depends on her. Sometimes, it’s not a matter of letting go or not. If there’s no way forward, what’s the use of staying together?"


    "She doesn’t understand." Be smiled mockingly.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    I realized that Be and I had an unspoken understanding when it came to viewing things.


    At that moment, I noticed Archie walking over. Although I didn’t truly know him, his image wasn’t unfamiliar to me. After all, I often saw him in the news on television.


    Be, standing beside me, stood up with a smile that seemed to carry some significance. It seemed that she and Archie were more than just acquaintances.
