Henrik and Flora were deep in conversation, chatting about the booming sess of their live-streaming sales. The results were phenomenal; now, big-name brands were lining up to partner with Florik Entertainment, offering six-figure sums just to get a spot in their streams.


    Florik Entertainment had suddenly be the talk of the industry, and those who once turned up their noses were now scrambling to adopt their live-streaming sales model.


    As usual, Flora listened quietly, knowing Henrik had a knack for business deals. The siblings shared an easy rapport, while Connor, wearing gloves, peeled shrimp for Flora without saying a word. Cecelia asionally snuck a piece of steak when Henrik wasn''t looking, but she limited herself to three pieces, mindful of her figure if she wanted to pursue a career in entertainment.


    After the meal, Henrik headed to pay the bill, only for the waiter to inform him with a smile that it had already been taken care of. Connor chuckled, "Big brother doesn''t pay when we''re dining together." His frequent and affectionate use of "big brother" was a bit too much for Henrik, who wasn''t quite used to it.


    Once dinner was over, Henrik and Cecelia went back to the office, and Flora returned to herb. Connor also drove back to Shallow Bay to deal with urgent matters.


    Connor dropped Flora off at herb and was about to leave when a ck sedan scraped by his car. He caught a glimpse of the passenger, and his usually rxed eyes narrowed slightly. What was he doing at theb?


    "Everyone, can I have your attention for a moment?" Dr. Ray announced, his excitement palpable. "Our investor is visiting today. Let''s be on our best behavior and give them a warm wee!"


    Theb was on the cusp of a major breakthrough but needed a substantial amount of funding. Just a few days ago, someone had stepped up with a whopping fifty-million-dor investment! Fifty million!


    Dr. Ray had been too excited to sleep for days and was especially thrilled since the benefactor had mentioned visiting today. First impressions were everything, and he wanted to showcase theb''s potential.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Don''t worry, Dr. Ray, we''ll make sure


    to give


    a warm wee!" the


    team promised, hoping to secure


    even more funding.


    Everyone paused their work to clean and tidy up theb. Alexa kept ncing at the door, her eyes sparkling with excitement.


    Twenty minutester, Dr. Ray got a call from the investor and hurried downstairs. Everyone craned their necks in anticipation. "Flora, do you know who the investor is? It''s Otto Brimer from the Brimer family!" Darcy shared excitedly with Flora.


    In Maple Grove, who didn''t know


    about the Brimer family, the top-tier dynasty? Darcy''s family was barely considered wealthy and had never even seen a member of the Brimer family.


    If they could connect with the Brimer family, theb''s financial worries would be over!


    Darcy was bubbling over with excitement, but Flora frowned slightly. The Brimer family? What a coincidence!


    About five minutester, Dr. Ray returned with a man in a suit. He looked to be in his forties, bald, not particrly tall or broad, with a. gaunt face and dark circles under his eyes, clearly a man who had indulged too much.


    Dr. Ray began introducing theb''stest projects, but the man listened with a dismissive and arrogant air.


    "Mr. Otto, ourb is currently developing a robotic medical project that is..."


    "Enough, I''ve got the gist," the man interrupted impatiently, waving his hand. "Alexa has already filled me in."


    Had it not been for Alexa''s intervention, he wouldn''t have bothereding at all.


    "Alexa?" Dr. Ray was surprised to hear her name from him.
