Things went smoothly for Aurelia and Neil.

It was said that Noah went to the palace with gifts to propose their marriage the next day.

Alexander was close with the Harrises to start with, so he very much approved of the union.

Helene was still not in her right mind, but she no longer harbored the usual hostility toward Neil this time. When everyone discussed the details of the marriage in the hall, she sat quietly by the side, carrying her pillow, her sunken eyes watching all of them curiously yet timidly.

Later, she softly added, "Don't bully my baby. You can't bully her!"

Neil was startled to find that Helene was staring at him. Suddenly, a complex feeling rushed to his heart.

"Auntie, don't worry." Alexander walked over and gave her a gentle hug. "Neil's a very good person. I promise he'll be loyal to Aurelia."

Helene seemed to have understood the discussion about the marriage just now, but she seemed to not understand it again now as she rocked, holding her pillow and humming a lullaby.

She then walked out of the main hall aimlessly, murmuring to the pillow, "Baby, don't cry. Mommy will take you home. Mommy's here. Mommy will take you home..."

Aurelia could not help her tears. Alexander was sad too. He gently patted her shoulder, comforting her, "Don't worry. I'll take good care of Aunt Lene after you get married."

"We can't let you bear this responsibility alone." Neil smiled. "It's my responsibility to take care of my mother-in-law too. Aurelia and I will come back to see her often!" Alexander glanced at him. He had never seen Neil so serious.

Southeast Aciatic men were a little bit arrogant, so this was the first time Alexander saw a man rush to use "mother-in-law" in addressing before he even got married.

After everything settled down, the Hamerton couple returned to the ever-familiar Centrolis with their son.

Everything finally returned to its normal pace after a long absence.

Liam had handed the Hamerton Group to Zephyr, but Cordelia was still in charge of all Hamerton household expenditures and decisions at home.

As for Zephyr's "ex-inmate" pals...

Josiah and Kelly had a grand wedding. The union between the Bayers and Tanners was already a big event that caused a sensation in Centrolis. Coupled with the pair's legendary love story, it had been the talk of the town.

Happy marriage alliances were rare since most of them were for the sake of family interests. Josiah and Kelly had dated of their own free will, which had already made many people envious.

Trinity and Fredric had no plans to get married yet. Fredric was the anxious one, for the most part, while Trinity was devoted to her career. No matter how many times the lawyer proposed to the director, the latter would not budge.

For this reason, Fredric asked for help on social media.

[Help! How do you make a career-oriented woman willingly shift her focus to building a family? How can I make her feel I'm worth more than the Oscar trophy?]

As a result, his friends liked his post without commenting. Nicholas was the only one who was blunt enough to reply with: [Hahahaha!]

This infuriated Fredric so much that he wanted to fight him.

Speaking of Nicholas, Sol Entertainment was constantly growing and had become a top player in the industry, occupying half of the entertainment industry's resources. As his business grew, it naturally attracted a lot of criticism and jealousy.

Some people deliberately brought up his former background as a gang leader, and some even dug up his past with Linda. Linda's hand shook in anger, and she accidentally shattered two jade bangles. The next day, reporters crowded Nicholas to ask, "Mr. Thompson, why isn't Mrs. Thompson wearing the pair of jade bangles that she likes the most anymore?"

Nicholas answered with a smirk, "They got thrown away. Too cheap."

He then went to the auction hall and bid for a pair that was worth $30,000,000.

Another day passed, and the reporters continued to annoy him. "Rich people are willful, aren't they? $30,000,000 can help so many charities!"

"You, sir, are you keeping up with me so closely because my charity didn't benefit you?

"May I know what charity fund you have?

"Treating a foul mouth? Or wounds and injuries?

"Hey, why are you running away? Come back. We can keep chatting!"

Seth and Zennie remained the closest teammates and comrades-in-arms.

During the most grueling stages of the research papers and practical work, Zennie, with her exceptional talent and meticulous thinking, made it through all the challenges and ultimately qualified for a Ph.D. program.

When everyone found out that she was already approaching her 30s upon graduating from medical school, they could not help but start urging her to get married.

Seth was the only one who remained focused on supporting her, never pressuring her to get married. However, as soon as she wanted to get married, he was ready at any time.

With everyone around Zephyr paired up—even Janine had Jim's love-Zephyr felt bad that Robert was left alone.

He had thought about using his connections to find a girlfriend for Robert, but the man seemed to only be interested in his house full of cats.

"Mr. Zephyr, I have to serve this house full of cats. I don't have time for a girlfriend! Besides, I want to stay by your side for a few more years. I'm really going to miss you if I leave..."

"Forget about that last sentence." Zephyr recalled the few times Robert had c*ckblocked him. "You might be reluctant, but I'm very willing!"

Cordelia took over Imperial Media, but Neil was extremely uncooperative, only managing to squeeze in a few guest roles in TV dramas and variety shows, spending most of his time in Southeast Aciatic. Cordelia had a headache over this and was actively searching for someone to replace him.

Trinity called her on the phone. "Don't worry. I found a few good potential candidates. I'll send them to you later, and you can contact their agents one by one. If you can finalize the deals, then I can confirm the male and female leads for our next movie!"

Cordelia breathed a sigh of relief, finally lifting her head from the mountain of paperwork and taking a breather. Her best friend came through at a critical moment!

"Doesn't have to be later. Send them to me right now!"

"Look at how much of a hurry you're in." Trinity laughed. "It's as if you really have no one to sue."

"But that's the truth, isn't it?" Cordelia said weakly, "I'm feeling really overwhelmed right now, and sometimes I'm so busy that I..."

Just then, she felt her stomach stir with nausea and ran to the bathroom before she could even hang up.
