Chapter 734
“Not one bit p>
“Meaning, you won’t pull your punches with Lawrence just because Sera married him p>
“Exactly.
By the same token, Lawrence won’t hold back against us because of this either. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see p>
“I don’t get it. Isn’t this just a business rivalry? What could possibly be so irreconcilable p>
“Business rivalry? Miles, you’re incredibly naive.
Who told you that? Your mother or your sister?
Go home and ask your father if this is just a pure business rivalry.
Anyway, I have studying and work to do. You should go home, get your facts straight, and then come talk to me p>
Miles had originally wanted to discuss business investments with her, but seeing as they were fundamentally misaligned on the basics, he had no choice but to leave. With that settled, Mira retreated to her study to work, and Miles saw himself out.
Grandma Eleanor wandered into the study and sat down in a chair. “Mira, don’t hold it against him. That silly boy doesn’t know anything. He just listens to the nonsense those fools feed him every day p>
It was obvious that this grandson held a special place in her heart.
“I’m not mad at him. I just wanted him to get his facts straight before coming to me.
Grandma, everyone makes their own choices. Don’t worry about them anymore. From now on, you’re living with me. We’ll do whatever makes you happy p>
“Alright. Grandma will listen to you p>
There were many things beyond her control. It was time she finally let go.
Mira still had to prep for her weekend interview.
This was the highest-profile exclusive interview in Mavaria, and the impact would be massive—for her, for Solflare Group, for the broadcasting network, and for the public.
She needed rock-solid talking points to navigate it flawlessly. Since she was still a student, the interview’s primary angle would be inspirational.
As her notes neared completion, Mira felt a wave of fatigue. She stretched luxuriously, picked up the fruit platter on her desk, and forked a piece of mango.
Her phone rang. Glancing at the screen, she saw it was Owen calling.
“What are you up to p>
Mira told him.
“Heavy is the head that wears the crown. After this interview, you’ll be living entirely in the spotlight.
It’s glorious, sure, but it’s also caught the intense scrutiny of the corporate sharks. Naturally, they aren’t going to want to see a wildcard like you continue to grow.” This was exactly why Mira had kept her identity a secret for so long.
But staying hidden wasn’t a permanent solution. It made petty people think she was an easy target.
Whenever she stood out slightly, rumors would spread that she was relying on someone else or being kept as a sugar baby. It was exhausting.
She decided it was better to lay all her cards on the table and see what they had to say then.
As for the incoming corporate crossfire, everything had two sides. There were risks, but the rewards were undeniable.
Solflare Group’s reputation was going to skyrocket. Without spending a dime on ads, it would become a household name overnight.
Mira’s goal was to forge Solflare into
a monolithic brand. In the future, any project stamped with the Solflare nange would instantly command respect.
“I’m assigning you two more bodyguards p>
“You want to give me the Iron Wolves again, don’t you? There’s no need. You’re in
just as much danger as I am.
Did you forget? My own defensive capabilities are solid p>
Owen sighed. He knew Mira’s pharmacological expertise was highly praised, even by their mentor.
“There’s one more thing. Jude Vance and Lawrence Lance are causing trouble again p>
“I knew Jude wouldn’t stop
scheming as long as he was in.
Aethelgard. Those two bumping into
each other is a match made in hell.
What kind of stunt are they pulling this time?” “They’re rallying a bunch of financial firms p>
