Chapter 133
“Owen, the chairman of the Davis Group’s only son, chose to run his grandfather’s oil business instead of joining the family company after graduation. Do you think someone else might take over the Davis Group someday?” asked Shane.
Wendy shook her head. “I disagree. “Taking control of the oil fields is likely just a training exercise for him. The Davis Group, a vast business empire built over generations by the Davis family, wouldn’t be handed over to an outsider. Owen is undoubtedly the future of the Davis Group”
Wendy was very interested in Owen. She saw his potential and promising future, especially since he was single and unattached. She hoped for an opportunity to get to know him better.
When Wendy moved from Whartonburg to Dratora Ciry for her studies, Hannah advised her to network extensively. She emphasized that building connections, especially with influential figures in the entertainment industry, would be invaluable for Wendy’s future career in the capital
Breaking into the entertainment industry is notoriously tricky without connections and a strong background, but hard work can still lead success. However, it might be a longer and more challenging journey.

Hannah was ambitious, just like Wendy. She believed that by having Wendy and Shane, she could secure a life of comfort and status by relying on the influence of the Hall family. She wouldn’t bother with a more challenging path when there was an easier one.
“Thomas Davis is also studying at Ionstead University and has a good relationship with Adam Shane, Adam is more firmly established in Dratora City than you. We need to find another way to succeed,” Wendy said.
Shane sat in the chair. I plan to finish my studies next semester and then go abroad”
Wendyw
was somewhat surprised. “You’re going abroad? Have you discussed it with Mom”
Shane gazed out at the horizon, his tone calm. “Adam will graduate before me and join the company ahead of me. If I don’t find a shortcut, I will stick to the usual path and never be competitive with him. I don’t want to enter the entertainment industry and become a celebrity like
you. Dur goals are different
When they first arrived at tsonstead University, Shane’s true passion lay in finance However, returning to the Hall family with all eyes upon him and choosing finance would have revealed his true intentions too clearly. Therefore, he upled to study acting, just like Wendy.
Shane believed his time in the acting department was strategic, a means to an end. Before switching to finance and studying abroad, he planned to appease the Hall family and return home even more capable. “Wendy” he explained, “Mom has already enrolled me in a school overseas.”
“Alright, Shane, Wendy said, lowering her gaze before smiling confidently. “It seems we’ll have less time together for a while, but I’m sure I’ll be a celebrity by the time you return in a few years! My influence will be able to help you then.”
“Yeah, Shane replied.
The siblings eyes met, and their ambition for the future burned in their gazes. Shane stood and left while Wendy stayed sprawled in her chair, soaking up the sun as she plotted ways to get to know Owen.

On the deck, they began barbecuing
Landon asked, “Adam, if Wendy is on the island, Shane must be there too. Aren’t you going to greet them!”
Adam replied indifferently, holding a skewer of chicken wings, I’m not going”
Thomas opened a can with one hand and said, “Shane had a rough time adjusting to school, but his perseverance proves he’s extraordinary. Eliana, what are your impressions of the siblings in your class?”
Eliana sat on a small stool. “Birds of a feather flock together,” she replied calmly after hearing Thomas’s words. “She and Willow have a good relationship, they even joined the dance club. I don’t have much of an impression of Shane, though. He’s pretty quiet in class.”
Cameron said, “Being quiet only means he’s patient enough. The fact that he was excluded at school but still managed to stick with his classes shows he bus patience and a depth of character that others might not possess.”
Adam nodded in agreement with Cameron’s words. Owen came over with fresh frozen fish, skewered them, and placed them on the grill. “What are you guys talking about?” he asked.
“Owen, we were talking about Shane and Wendy.” Eliana replied.
Owen sat down and asked, “Oh! What about them!”
Once again pushing boundaries, Thomas asked, “Owen, what would you do if my uncle brought two illegitimate children back and tried to claim your inheritance?”

Owen’s expression remained calm as he replied. “Before they even return, your uncle would make headlines first. The headline would read. Chairman of Davis Group, consumed by guilt over an affair, chooses to end his life and leaves behind a suicide note!”
“Damn” Thomas said, surprised at Owen’s words.
Owen replied. “Day
you think
may moin got to the top spot at the theater by chance? You can only say things like i it neither of us will have it easy
this in front of me. If my dad hears
Elana laughed saving. “My dad is a well–known heupecked husband.”
If indeeduals exercised self–control, no children would be born outside of marriage. However, if such a situation arose, Sebastian would have been held accountable before any action was taken regarding the children.
“However, before Flana came back, I had never thought about inheriting the family business. Back then, my parents believed that shares would be passed down, and the most capable would take the lead. Now that Eliana has returned, their thoughts might change. Owen said.
Thomas asked. “Will the company be handed over to Eliana in the future?”
Owen replied, “I don’t know. Maybe. Eliara is still young. Having fun for a few more years after she graduates wouldn’t hurt her.”
On the deck, the smoke from the barbecue grew thicker. In the distance, Wendy held a pair of binoculars, closely monitoring them.
As the evening grew darker, the luxury yacht lit up with bright lights. Thomas appeared with a speaker from somewhere, playing music and sparking a lively celebration. They danced and jumped around on the deck
At first, the figures were indistinguishable, but after they started jumping and dancing on the deck. Wendy could make out their shapes through the binoculars. “One, two, three… six people, she counted.
“That person wearing the black jacket should be Owen Who are the other men next to him, and why is there a woman” Wendy became increasingly sure that their Egures looked familiar, but unfortunately, the binoculars‘ magnification was limited, and she couldn’t make out their
Although Wendy couldn’t tell who the woman among them was, she couldn’t help but feel envious. Anyone who could be on Owen’s yacht muust have been someone with similar standing to him. The fact that the woman could mingle in their circle was enough to prove that she was no ordinary person
“She is lucky indeed Wendy munered.
