Sylvia simply smiled without affirming or denying Louis’s point. She knew well that someone as
arrogant as Louis would never admit to having family help.
“Your journey to where you are now–do you genuinely believe it was unsupported? How are you
any different from me?” Louis retorted.
Sylvia feigned surprise: “I’ve never imed that I reached my position without my family’s support,
but unlike you…”

She firmly believed in acknowledging the family’s contribution to her sess. Enjoying the
privileges of family meant taking on its duties and responsibilities as well. What was so strange
about that?
Louis found himself speechless, his face darkening like the bottom of a pan. Juliet, who had been
quietly observing the spirited exchange, couldn’t help but let out augh at the sight of Louis’s
growing displeasure.
“Relying on your family isn’t shameful, but you’re trying to cast aside your family and im all the
glory for yourself. Aren’t you overrating your aplishments?” Juliet’s family prestige wasn’t far
behind the Walkers, so she spoke without fear.
Louis huffed, frustrated by the confrontation that hadn’t gone his way, and stormed off. He
had aimed to intimidate them and make a statement that coboration was out of the
question. Instead, he ended up being the one provoked.
As Louis left in anger, Sylvia and Juliet shared a look and chuckled.
“It’s for the best that you weren’t aiming to coborate with him. With his ego, definitely wouldn’t
make for a good partner,” Julietmented.

Sylvia shrugged it off: “He’s very smart, a former prodigy even. However, he’s too obsessed with
proving he’s self–made, which just isn’t possible.”
No one can entirely escape their family’s influence, especially those from eminent dynasties
like theirs. 1
Juliet nodded, and they rested for a while. Their conversations with others that evening revealed
that several promising coboration opportunities awaited them. They could reconver to n
further.
Meanwhile, after his heated exchange with Sylvia, Louis returned to his initial spot. Cyril had been
watching Louis approach Sylvia, only to see Louis’s face grow increasingly grim while Sylvia
remained unfazed.

“What did you say to her?” Cyril asked, curious about the interaction.
Louis snorted, “What could I have said? I merely told her that her current status is founded on her
family’s influence, as if her business deals were nothing remarkable. Then she used me of the
very same–using our family for my own gains. Don’t I know better than anyone if our years of
research relied on the Walkers‘ help? The team I’ve assembled–it’s the result of my own efforts!”
Desperate to validate his independence from his family, Louis continued, only to notice that Cyril’s
expression seemed oddly off–kilter.
Louis’s expression changed in an instant.
“You’re not implying that the people I’ve attracted are actually connected to my family, are you?”
“What else could it be?” Cyril responded calmly. “Those individuals are aplished in their own
fields. Why would they abandon their current jobs to follow you? It’s not just because you’re offering
better terms. There have to be additional benefits enticing enough for them to move. Even if you
deny it, you must acknowledge that the Walker family has supported you in the background. Even
without a public deration, if someone wants to, they can easily uncover the connection between
you and the Walkers.”
Louis was internally unsettled by these revtions. He had never heard such things before- not
from anyone, not even from Cyril.
“Then why haven’t you mentioned this before? Was your investment in me also because of my
family ties?”
“It wasn’t,” Cyril said. “I invested because I found your technology intriguing and untouched by me,
which is why I wanted to see how far you’d take it. However, it was only after my investment that I
learned of your connection to the Walkers. In other words, it was knowing your family ties that
solidified my decision to continue investing in you.”
Cyril didn’t deny his initial interest in the technology, but the ongoing investment was indeed
influenced by the Walker family name. Even if their rtionship seemed amicable, it was partly
facilitated by the intermediation of the Walkers.
Rendered speechless, Louis listened.
“The reason you want to coborate with me is that we have a mutual foundation for partnership,”
Cyril continued. “But beyond that, if you’re looking to establish a solid presence here, I suggest you
consider partnering with the Ivan family. Drop your subjective biases; the Ivans are indeed a
valuablepany for coboration.”

which spoke volumes–she was no mere figurehead.
Though stung by Cyril’s blunt truths, Louis was a man open to sound advice. His recent resistance
was fueled by the realization that Cyril’s words differed significantly from Sylvia’s. If Cyril suggested
cooperation, it somehow seemed more eptable.
“How can we coborate? I’ve just had a falling out with Sylvia,” Louis noted, acutely aware that
most would abandon all talks of coboration after such an argument.
“If you’re open to it, I can help you,” Cyril offered, lifting his wine ss and gently swirling it as he
addressed Louis.
Indeed, Louis was tempted. Before returning, he had been eager to coborate with the Ivan family.
