Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Harvey was the first to react, his face lighting up with excitement. "Master Shiloh, your wisdom is truly admirable-I have nothing but respect for you!

"My father always spoke highly of you, believing you to be a person of true integrity, untouched by wealth or status. You seek only peace and harmony with nature, remaining above worldly desires."

He continued, "That's exactly why the Wellers need someone like you. Please rest assured that if you join us, we will treat you as an honored guest.

"You will have the full resources of the Wellers at your disposal. With our platform and influence, you can spread your teachings on holistic wellness and healing to benefit countless people. Whatever you need, the Wellers will provide without hesitation!"

Behind the sheer curtain, Shiloh let out a soft hum, neither agreeing nor rejecting.

Harvey, however, felt a surge of excitement. She had not refused, which meant he had a real shot. To him, Shiloh was not just a wellness expert-she was a goldmine.

Her growing social media presence had already made her one of the most sought-after figures in Jayrodale's elite circles.

If he could bring her into the Wellers, even if she did nothing, just having her associated with them would be enough. The flood of attention and credibility she would bring would be worth a fortune.

Christina stepped forward gracefully and gave a respectful nod toward the curtain. "Master Shiloh, it is an honor. I am Christina Stevens, current CEO of Stevens Corporation."

Shiloh acknowledged her with a slight nod. Her tone carried a hint of admiration. "I am aware of you, Ms. Stevens. You took control of your family's corporation at a young age-you are quite the remarkable woman in Jayrodale.

"Aspen, as a daughter of the Stevens family in Bridgefields, is also an outstanding talent. You two are equally impressive."

Hearing those words, Christina and Aspen exchanged a thrilled glance. It was subtle, but the difference in reaction was clear.

When Harvey made his pitch, Shiloh had responded indifferently. But with them? She had not only acknowledged them but had even praised them.

That had to mean she favored them more. Encouraged by this, Christina pressed forward. "Thank you, Master Shiloh, for your kind words. But I still have much to learn from someone as wise as you.

"Aspen and I have come today to respectfully invite you to visit Stevens Corporation. We understand your vast knowledge in traditional medicine and wellness, and we sincerely hope you with step out into the world to bring your Wisdom to those in need

She was careful with her wording-never outright stating that she wanted Shiloh for business purposes. Instead, she framed it as a noble cause bringing wellness to the people.

Aspen followed up with a warm smile. "Master Shiloh, back in Bridgefields, I recall you having a deep love for classical art, painting, and fine instruments.

"So, as a token of respect, I have brought several priceless paintings and a rare harp. Please, accept this small gesture of my appreciation."

Behind the curtain, Shiloh finally spoke again. That is very thoughtful of you, Aspen. I appreciate your sincerity The Stevens family of Bridgefields has truly raised a remarkable daughter. Your family will surely prosper in the years to come."

Aspen's heart nearly burst with joy. She thought she had sealed the deal-by accepting her gifts, Shiloh had practically confirmed that she was willing to join them.noveldrama

With a renowned wellness master at their side, Stevens Corporation's pharmaceutical ventures would skyrocket.

More importantly, Aspen would finally be able to recover her losses, securing her standing within the Bridgefields Stevens family.

She cast a triumphant glance at Andrew, her lips curling into a smirk. She thought, 'Finally, Andrew is going to walk away in complete defeat!'
