It did not matter to Amos whether or not ire secured the contract.
If ire could get a contract signed, it meant she was a capable woman. Naturally, Alpha Ventures
would be easy for her to govern. If ire could

not secure a contract, then Robert would remain as chairman of thepany just like before. While
Amos would not earn a lot of money during Robert’s term, he would not be left starving to death.
It was a win–win situation.
It was only then that Robert let the anger simmering in him fade away.
Four years ago, the Donovans had thoroughly offended Mr. Anderson, and ire was the primary
culprit.
Hence, ire approaching Mr. Anderson was akin to walking into the lion’s
den.
With how vicious Mr. Anderson was, ire would suffer a fate worse than
death.
Ha!
There was no way Robert would believe ire to be capable of securing a contract with Solstice
Industries.
As soon as ire left Alpha Ventures, she headed straight to the film set.

Matt frowned. No longer looking like the stern, top–notchwyer he was, he tugged at her sleeves like
a timid housewife. “Boss, the men are roasting the pig as we speak. Aren’t you going to watch it roast
with us?”
ire nced down at the fingers clenched around her shirtsleeve and gently patted Matt’s shoulder
with her other hand. “I don’t worry about that with you around. I just need to appear at the end. Once
the pig is done roasting, let’s enjoy the meat together.”
“Ah, the pig is so big that it willst us for years.”
Matt wickedlyughed before epting a bag covered in images of cartoon characters from one of the
men in the back. As he shoved the bag into ire’s hands, he said, “It’s filled with your favorite snacks.
See you at Solstice Industries the day after tomorrow, Boss.”
Now that filming had properly started, the production team did not need to work through the night as
before. ire’s work as the screenwriter was also much easier. All she needed to do now was to
exin the plot to the actors so that they could adjust their acting ording to it.
The lead actor and lead actress were award–winners, and they did not win their awards for doing
nothing. Hence, they understood what was needed of them much easier than the average actors.
In just 30 minutes, ire had finished describing the most important scenes being filmed for the next
two days.
Mr. Smith smiled and asked, “Are you noting in for the next two days, Ms. Lawrence?”

“Yes,” she replied.

ire felt slightly guilty and was about to exin herself when Mr. Smith
burst outughing. “Haha! Just go, Ms. Lawrence. It’s fine. We are all very familiar with the script now.
Even if you nevere in again after this, it
will be fine.”
Although ire was a scriptwriter, she was paid quite a lot even though she did not do much. It was
clear that Mr. Smith was giving her preferential
treatment.
“I’ll be back when I’m needed, Mr. Smith.”
“It’s fine.” Mr. Smith patted ire on the shoulder. She was beautiful yet talented, exactly the type of
woman he liked dealing with. After checking to make sure there was no one else around, he leaned in
close and whispered, “I do have a request for you, Ms. Lawrence.”
ire just knew there was no such thing as a free lunch. With pursed lips, she softly asked, “What is
it?”
“It’s…” Mr. Smith hesitated before cautiously saying, “You know that in this industry, connections are
the most important asset of all. Can you please ask Mr. Sean if he’s willing to attend our wrap party?”
ireughed when she saw how sly Mr. Smith was acting.
However, she still did not know what exactly Sean thought of her.
He was upset when her children appeared. Well, it was normal for men to find it ufortable to be
taking care of another man’s children.

This was especially true when it came to powerful and unmarried men like Sean. It would be a difficult
ask for him to ept a woman who came with two
children of her own.
“Well …” ire thought about it before agreeing. “Very well. I’ll try. I
can’t promise that he wille, though.”
“That’s enough. As long as the requestes from you, I’m sure Mr. Sean will
Mr. Smith grinned in satisfaction as he personally saw ire out.
It was only 4:30 p.m. when ire arrived home. She even stopped by the supermarket on the way
back to purchase some daily necessities, snacks, and vegetables.
When Julia saw her, she acted like a soldier who had spotted reinforcements just as the army was
about to be defeated. Julia heaved a sigh of relief and swiftly crawled up from the floor.
“ire, oh, ire. My dear ire, you’re finally back. If you had taken any longer, I would go crazy
from ying with your children.”
ire ced the bag of groceries on the table. As she put the items away, she nced at the area by
the rug.
Belle and Jon were sitting on the rug that was covered with puzzles of all kinds including klotski puzzle,
mechanical puzzle, burr puzzle,
disentanglement puzzle, and building–blocks.
Jon casually grabbed one of them. After it was set up, he was able to solve

the puzzle within 30 seconds. Belle refused to admit defeat and immediately set up all of the puzzles.
Then, without hesitating at all, she swiftly solved all of the puzzles. The sight made chills run down
Julia’s spine.
“ire, you have given birth to devils! They must have insanely high IQ!”
ire put down the items she was holding. “Is it that hard?”
“Yes!” Julia sobbed. She dragged ire over to the rug and picked up the mechanical puzzle she had
spent 30 minutes on without making any headway all. She was nearly in tears as she exined, “I
couldn’t solve this at
all.”
ire silently smiled and plucked the puzzle from Julia’s hands. With a few quick twists of her fingers,
the puzzle was solved within seconds. “Here you 80.”
Julia was rendered speechless.
This whole darn family was crazy!
ire patted Julia on the shoulder with a smile. After putting away her groceries, she tied an apron
around her waist and turned to find Julia still standing there and staring at her with a bitter look on her
face. ire patted her apron and asked, “Do you want to help me with an errand?”
Doing errands was better than being near the two devils and being overwhelmed by their intelligence.
“Sure!” Julia cheerfully walked over and rubbed her hands together as she asked, “What do you need?
Salt?”

“I have everything I need.” ire gently smacked her on the butt. “Go check
if Sean is home. If he is, tell him that he’s invited to dinner tonight as
thanks for taking care of Belle and Jonst night.”
“Aah!”
Julia screeched as her face went pale. “I … don’t want to!”
ire frowned. “Why not? You’re constantly calling him Great–Grandpa, so you
must be close. Go on.”
Things have changed a lot since then. Now, Julia looked at Sean like a mouse who spotted a cat. She
could not even hide away from him like she wanted, so why would she even approach him?
Blinking hard until tears shimmered in her eyes, Julia bit the tip of her
thumb and started sobbing, “Well, ire, when you were in the shower that day
I went to give him a hand by telling him about your children, but I didn’t know how to tell him about their
father. In the end, I said you once met a scumbag who…”
