Date- 30 Mar 2321 Time- 11:24 Location- Sky Blossom City, Fine Gold Tower, Penthouse Office Having faced repeated loss standing against Wyatt, Jaya had already concluded that he was her bane. At first, she thought of Wyatt as a talented card creationist and nothing more. But then, seeing him go against the Circle, Create a miraculous powder, win the tournament, and date the southern emperor, she realized she had underestimated Wyatt. Jaya then realized that she couldn't even consider Wyatt her rival because his achievements had surpassed her and their fellow peers. Right now, she considered Wyatt a role model in life, someone to look up to, and desired to walk in his footsteps. Jaya had suddenly gained mad respect for Wyatt, as she had seen his struggle with her own eyes. Wyatt's struggle and achievements reminded her of her sister's struggle and achievements. Wyatt and her sister both started from the bottom with nothing yet were able to achieve so much at a young age that others could not gather in their lifetime. Jaya was arrogant and ignorant earlier, but her self-reflection had helped her grow as a person, and now she is arrogant but informed. Therefore when her sister said that Fine Gold was now going to work for Wyatt, at first, Jaya was enraged. Still, after letting the idea sink in, Jaya started to get around the concept of Fine Gold being in the hands of Wyatt, imagining the glorious future of Fine Gold. She believed if Wyatt truly embraced Fine gold, then with his achievements and relationship with the southern emperor, he could expand the Fine Gold in the southern region. Just imagining Fine Gold monopolizing the entire southern region market, Jaya felt chills. After her altercation with the southern emperor, Jaya realized how narrow her thoughts were. She was done playing a young miss in a third-rate city. She wanted to up her game and ascend to a higher stage, for example, the southern region or even the central region. They say one has to experience life to expand their vision, and Jaya's vision did grow, but she knew full well that Fine Gold could never achieve her vision with its current state, but if it were to hitch a ride, then it could ascend to a higher stage where real players played. "What? Did you really see the Southern emperor propose to Wyatt? Is Wyatt already the son-in-law of the Southern Royal family? They say that the Southern Emperor is the next heir of the family, if Wyatt married her, wouldn't he become the prince of the southern region?" After hearing Jaya explain her decision, Cindy was flabbergasted and barraged Jaya with questions. Diana, too, looked at her sister eagerly for an answer. "Wow, hold your horses. I don't know all that, but I know that Wyatt rejected all of the southern emperors' advances. Therefore I said that I was not clear about their relationship, but it did seem the Southern emperor was very interested in Wyatt. I don't know. With little time I spent with them, all of it seemed awkward. Not to mention Jk Elliott too appeared to have a good relationship with her highness. To put it honestly, I wasn't there for most of it. Beth filled me in about most of it. If you want, I can contact her and get more details." Jaya explained most of what she saw transpire inside the card stadium's VIP box and some gossip she heard from Beth.
"By Beth, you mean the twin from the Whiteburn family?" Cindy confirmed.
"Yes, Wyatt seemed to be acquainted with them too," Jaya confirmed. "No need, it doesn't matter now. We have already decided to cooperate with Wyatt. You contacting them will only do more harm than any good." Diana knew Wyatt's relationship with the Whiteburns and the Brights was good. Yet these families seemed to have decided to distance themselves from Wyatt due to the recent allegation surrounding him regarding the silver milk powder patent. Diana was not ignorant to think these two families were dumb enough to have not figured out the crux of the silver milk powder with Southern Watch visiting the city to test dungeon relocation. Diana did not underestimate the families, but she knew why these families did not approach Wyatt for cooperation even after figuring it out all; the reason was their strong relationship with Wyatt. When Wyatt showed potential, these families were on good terms with him, but when he was accused of fraud, they kept a distance from him. And if they return to him again for a favor after knowing the truth, it would not look good for them. The families are shameless. They will do anything for the benefit of their family, but they do not know how Wyatt would react to their shamelessness; therefore, they were testing the waters by sending their juniors. What Diana did not know was that the two Bright and Whiteburn families did not care about Wyatt, his achievements, and his connections. The Whiteburn family planned to loot the empire's treasury and ascend to the top. As for the Bright family, they were already acquainted with the Southern Royal Family. They did not require a high schooler's help. Other families had a deep history, unlike an upstart like Fine Gold. They had their goals and did not require a shortcut like the Fine Gold. "Sister, do I list the recently acquired Brown pharmaceuticals and other industries. Under Fine Gold's property, or should I leave them under my name." Jaya's question was simple since they were going to hand over the majority shares of Fine Gold to Wyatt, do they still need to list the recently acquired companies under Fine Gold. This meant that 51% of these companies would also belong to Wyatt, but if Jaya were to keep them separately under her name, Wyatt would not receive a single penny from these companies. "No, we can't risk everything for momentary gains. Not to mention these companies are not worth much anyway. Just list them as Child companies under the Parent Fine Gold." Jaya's proposal sounded seducing, but Diana knew she was not dealing with Wyatt but the puppeteer behind him, the Southern emperor. Such petty calculation could not escape her highness's attention, she may not care, but her trust towards them would drop. Diana did not know that her little misunderstanding today saved her from a lot of trouble in the future. "Cindy, where are you with documents? Are they done yet?" Rejecting Jaya's proposal Diana enquired Cindy about her progress with the documents.
