Chapter 12

    After entering Mirage, Lyra vented her anger. “Ugh, that woman is hot, but she’s blind to fall for an


    ipetent fool like Dustin.”


    “I know, right? What a waste,” Chris chimed in with a long sigh. He was rich and handsome, so why


    was he unable to meet a beautiful woman too?


    “That’s enough talk. We’re here for business,” Dahlia interrupted them and said, “Lyra, go and find out


    which Harmon is in charge tonight. It’d be best if we could promote ourselves.”


    “I know a close friend who works at this ce. I’ll give her a call.” As Lyra spoke, she fished out her


    phone and dialed a number. Before long, she informed Dahlia of good news. “Ms. Nicholson, tonight’s


    charity event is organized by the Steel Lady herself. As for the partner, it’ll depend on her preferences.”


    “The Steel Lady? Could she be the famous business prodigy?” At the thought of this, Dahlia’s eyes lit


    up with excitement. The Steel Lady had a well-known reputation for being the only woman who


    singlehandedly conquered the business world of Swinton, surpassing nearly all of the other


    businessmen.


    Dahlia couldn’t help but admire such an exceptional businesswoman. However, she’d never met the


    Steel Lady.


    “Lyra, ask your friend whether she could help us arrange a private meeting with the Steel Lady. We


    can’t miss this opportunity,” said Dahlia.


    “I can try and ask her, but there’s no guarantee.”


    “Okay. I will thank her afterward.” Deep down, Dahlia was bubbling with anticipation. Being the Harmon


    family’s partner meant a lot to her. If she could meet the Steel Lady in advance, she was confident that


    she would be able to convince the other and prove herself.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    …


    As time passed, the number of guests gradually increased in Mirage. Although the charity event had


    yet tomence, Natasha was already busy.


    “Mr. Rhys, feel free to look around. I have to excuse myself. You can ask anyone here if you need


    anything.”


    “Alright. Thanks.”


    “Julie, help me look after Mr. Rhys.” Then, Natasha headed toward her office.


    “Ms. Harmon…” Upon entering the room, a middle-aged manager approached her with some


    documents. “Here is the information you asked for. After several screenings, we have narrowed down


    only fourpanies that qualify to be our partner. Please have a look and see if there’s anything else


    you need.”


    Natasha hummed in acknowledgment and nodded silently. She epted the documents and began


    reviewing them. After a while, she raised her eyebrow as her interest was piqued.


    “Huh, what a coincidence.”


    A mischievous smirk formed on Natasha’s lips. It turned out that Jackson Group was among the


    candidates, and in the documents was Dahlia’s resume. Out of curiosity, she read everything about


    Dahlia and soon, discovered something unusual.


    Three years ago, Dahlia was a nobody while Jackson Group was unheard of. Nheless, ever since


    she’d gotten married, her career experienced inexplicably rapid growth. In merely three years, the small


    company with assets worth less than millions of dors had developed into one of the most valuable


    corporations.


    During that period, Dahlia not only received a tremendous amount of investments but also orders for


    various projects. In Natasha’s opinion, these achievements were questionable and there must have


    been strings pulled behind the scenes. The problem was, however, Dahlia did note from an


    influential family nor did she have connections to pull this off.


    “Could it be… him?” An image of Dustin appeared in Natasha’s mind. Besides Dustin, she couldn’t


    think of anyone else who would help Dahlia so unconditionally. Subsequently, she became even more


    intrigued. Who on earth was Dustin?


    No one could easily build Jackson Group into arge corporation in only three years.


    “Dustin, oh, Dustin. What exactly are you hiding?” Narrowing her eyes slightly, Natasha was enthralled


    by the mystery surrounding Dustin.


    “And that woman, Dahlia… What were you thinking? Why did you let go of a wealthy husband and


    choose to get entangled with that bastard named Chris instead? Are you really that stupid?” Natasha


    pondered and silently heaved a sigh.


    A man had sacrificed so much for a woman, but in the end, she was ignorant and even self-righteously


    decided to divorce him. Natasha couldn’t wrap her head around that. Nevertheless, she realized that


    the situation had given her a chance to have Dustin all for herself.


    “Ms. Harmon, are you considering Dahlia Nicholson from Jackson Group?” asked the manager


    tentatively upon the rare sight of Natasha reading the documents so intently.


    “Dahlia? Hmph,” Natasha answered with a dissatisfied tone. “She is qualified to be our partner, but I


    don’t like her.”


    “Understood. I will remove her from the list right away!”


    “No need. Reorganize the documents and show them to Mr. Rhys. Let him decide,” Natasha instructed


    with an ambiguous smile.


    “Yes.”


    Although the manager was dumbfounded, he didn’t dare to question her orders.


    “Is there something else?” Natasha asked when he did not leave.


    “Ms. Harmon, Edward Spanner from Drey Group had arrived earlier and he wishes to meet you,” the


    manager exined with his head bowed.


    “Edward? Trevor Spanner’s son? What is he doing here?”


    Natasha was stunned.


    “He says he wants to discuss business matters with you, but I doubt that it is his true intention. Should I


    order the guards to kick him out?”


    “Trevor sent his son in his ce? Ha… Never mind. I want to see what tricks he has up his sleeves.”
