Be listens silently as Daniel Sullivan reports that all legal matters are proceeding smoothly. All the directors have returned the money and assets they took from thepany.

Daniel also informed that S Jewelry withdrew itswsuit against Ster Entertainment, but they are still suing Laura Kiels. Be knows Tristan will not help her — he’s already given her clues to assist her in sending Laura to jail.

She couldn’t believe Tristan would still be eager to help her, even though she refused the offer more than once. His perseverance and sincere assistance on this matter made her rte more and more to his kindness and caring.

When Daniel reports about Laura Kiels, her curiosity kicks in for more details.

’Does Laura Kiels have enough funds topensate for thepany’s losses due to her negligence?’ This is one of the questions that has consistently appeared on her mindtely. She feels curious.

"Miss Laura Kiels has paid all her debt and other outstanding liabilities and signed the official non-reversible released and discharged papers. From now on, she is no longer part of Ster Entertainment," Daniel Sullivan’s exnation surprised Be. She doesn’t believe Laura Kiels had a lot of money to settle everything quickly.

’Did she have hidden funds and assets we didn’t know about?’ She tried to remember if she read Stefan’s report correctly.

After a long silence, Be asked, "What about S Jewelry’swsuit against her?"

"Laura Kiels also settled her legal liabilities with them. My people say she paid for everything and started campaigning to clear her name. It seems like she had someone with unlimited funds and resources backing her; from what we could observe on the inte trends, her campaign has seen some initial results. She’s starting to get some A-Netz sympathy."

"Nah, I doubt they real A-Netz. They are more like buzzers. You know, someone paid those people to write nicely about Laura Kiels and me ourpany for making Laura withdraw from the entertainment industry," Leo snarled.

Daniel Sullivan was stunned to hear how casually Leo said that. He knew such practices were standard in the industry. Still, from the legal perspective, until they had proof, he couldn’t suggest anything like that to Be.

"Sir, are you sure? I mean, do you have any proof? If you have, we can clear ourpany’s name with your proof..." Daniel Sullivan said, worried about thepany’s negative image if that was true.

"Yeah," Leo answered, "No need to worry, Danny. Our Boss will take care of it, right, Boss?" He continued his words in a casual tone while looking at Be.

Daniel silently doubted Leo’s words. He looked at Be, waiting for her reaction.

"Sure, I’ll take care of it," Be responded reassuringly. She still had an ace up her sleeve to deal with Laura.

Be wasn’t worried about Laura, but what concerned her now was who her powerful backup would be. It wasn’t Tristan, and Andreas Corby couldn’t either, as his wife and parents now restricted his outside house ess and the use of his funds and assets.

"See! Our Boss is the best!" He said proudly while ncing at Daniel Sullivan.

Leo knew Be would be the second person in thepany to have the privilege of contacting theirpany hacker to get whatever information she wanted quickly.

Daniel Sullivan was amazed; he nodded in relief, hearing Be’s confirmation. At least theirpany wouldn’t suffer anything from this massive purge of firing so many corrupt directors and even firing their embarrassing actresses and actors.

"Boss, do you know who helped her? Or at least, can you guess?" Leo asked again. Even though he was suspicious, Jessica Sinir would help Laura. However, he rejected the thought quickly because the Sinir Group was still suing Laura.

Be shook her head. She was still surprised to learn that Laura Kiels had the resources to settle everything and even started a social media campaign to restore her image.

Despite her curiosity about the invisible hands that backed and supported Laura, she didn’t dig more about it, at least for the moment. After a few minutes of chatting about anotherpany’s matters, Be dismissed Daniel Sullivan.

However,

Be asks Leo to stay. She needs to discuss their n to fly to Nova City tomorrow.

"Rest assured, Boss. Everything is already nned out. The beach vi where you and Dax will be staying has already been taken care of. Dana, My secretary, has already flown there to prepare everything for our arrival," Leo reassured Be.

He knew his Boss was slightly worried about bringing her son on this trip, so he cared for everything to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.

"Thank you, Leo, for your initiative and hard work."

Leo chuckled and responded, "It’s fine, Boss. That’s my job." However, he soon remembered something and added, "Oh, right. I have booked amercial flight for noon tomorrow. Unfortunately, local airlines do not offer first-ss seats, and the business ss seats are no different than the economy ss seats, so the seating might be ufortable. I hope you and Dax can endure it.

But don’t worry; it’s only a three-hour flight."

Leo actually suggested that they rent a private jet to fly there. The price wasn’t too expensive, but Be strongly rejected the idea.

Be took a deep sigh. "I’m sorry, Leo, but you must cancel your flight booking. We’ll take a private jet," she said casually.

He was confused when he heard Be’s words.

"Wait, wait, Be... I thought you strongly rejected my idea to rent a jet!? What changed your mind? Seriously, tell me."

Be didn’t immediately respond to Leo’s question. Instead, she calmly stood up and walked to her desk to gather her belongings. Once she was ready to leave, she nced at Leo, who was still seated in his spot.

When Be saw hisical expression, she was amused. Leo seemed to be cosying as a mannequin, his curious gaze locked on her.

"Tristan didn’t want his son to fly on amercial flight, so he bought a private jet that wasplete with all the operation and maintenance for Dax against my advice."

"What the hell... What a loving and wonderful father he is." Leo can’t help but curse andpliment Tristan in the same sentence. He was surprised to hear that Tristan bought a jet for such an excuse.

"I know, right." Be chuckled as she walked to the elevator, "I will go home now, Leo. I need to pack..."

Leo ran after her, "Boss, would you mind asking boss Tristan to adopt me? I’m willing to be his son."

Be chuckled, hearing his silly words.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, she said, "Don’t be shameless, Leo. I like you as it is."

Leo, "…"

She continues, "Tristan’s assistant may call you about our flight schedule. See you tomorrow."

Leo immediately returned to his room and called to cancel the ne tickets.

Not long after, he got a call from an unknown number.

’Tristan’s assistant?’ He wonders and finally picks up the call.

"Hello, Mr. Smith, I’m Dn Cooper, Tristan Sinir’s assistant. Did Ms. Be tell you about me?"

"Hello, Mr. Cooper... Yes, she told me you would call me about the private jet..."
