Overwhelmed with embarrassment, Declan excused himself from Eliana and headed back to mingle with the guests.
Eliana came out of the restroom still looking a bit disheveled, despite her efforts to freshen up.
Suddenly, a tissue appeared in front of her. She lifted her gaze and was momentarily taken aback by the individual before her.
“Mr. Shaw?”
Wearing a smile, Alick tenderly wiped her face and inquired, “What’s got you so rattled?”
Feeling a bit self-conscious, Eliana grabbed the tissue, murmured her thanks, and was about to hurriedly leave when he spoke again.
“Would you like to avoid future complications?”
His words caused Eliana to halt in her tracks. She turned around and queried, “What are you suggesting, Mr. Shaw?”
Alick moved closer, offering her a small vial.
“It’s a powerful substance. When the moment is right, use it and lead her to my room.

Eliana hesitated but finally accepted the vial from Alick.
“Here’s the key card to my room.”
As Eliana took the substance, Alick grinned and pressed the room key into her hand, saying, “Good luck.”
She watched him walk away, clutching the room key tightly, already plotting her next moves.
Bryson and Hannah emerged from the cabin, standing side by side in the open air.
“The breeze out here feels so much better.”
Hannah glanced at Bryson and commented, “You looked a bit down after talking to Mia Jewelry’s chairwoman. What’s going on?”
“They proposed a partnership and also mentioned your name.”
“Me?” Intrigued, Hannah asked Bryson, “What does their potential collaboration with the Mitchell family have to do with me?”
“Mia Jewelry wants to team up with the Mitchell Group.”
“That sounds like a positive development. So, how does this involve me?”
Bryson stared at Hannah and said, “Due to the current buzz about you online, Mia Group suggested that we create an online power couple to ignite further discussions.”
Hannah, familiar with marketing tactics, wasn’t taken aback by the proposition from Mia Group.
