Martin was utterly stunned. Pointing at the superstars on stage, he shouted in disbelief, “You’re all mistaken. How could Master Cameron possibly be Sullivan? It should be Dillan. Dillan is your real boss.”
Anna shot back from the stage, “As if we wouldn’t know our boss.”
The reporters erupted with excitement, swarming toward the stage and extending their microphontes toward Sylvia. “Ms. Sullivan, is what Anna said true? Are you really Master Cameron?”
Martin trembled, as if something had just dawned on him. With bloodshot eyes, he shouted desperately at Sylvia, “Yes. Tell everyone that you’re not Master Cameron. Dillan is.”
All eyes were fixed on Sylvia as the cameras zoomed in, everyone waiting for her

response.
aster Cameron, why would Anna and the others call me their boss?”
The reporters exchanged knowing glances, thinking, ‘These international superstars aren’t fools. They wouldn’t just acknowledge anyone as their boss.
“No way. You can’t possibly be Master Cameron.” Martin completely lost it, hysterically screaming as he stormed onto the stage. “I know you’re only saying this because Dillan wants to kick you out.
“Just admit you’re not Master Cameron, and I’ll talk to Dillan and get him to let you stay.”
Sylvia scoffed, “It’s my company. What makes Dillan think he can kick me out?”
Martin was utterly stunned; everything happening before his eyes defied all his expectations.
At that moment, the giant screen at the back of the stage flashed to life, playing a video clip from three years ago.
The footage showed Sylvia overseas, signing contracts with those very superstars, all of whom respectfully addressed her as Master Cameron.
The truth was finally out. Now, everyone knew Sylvia was the real Master Cameron.
Eyes filled with terror, Martin staggered unsteadily out of the hotel. He jumped into his car and sped off toward Cerulean Entertainment, determined to confront Dillan.
Meanwhile, downstairs at Cerulean Entertainment, Dillan desperately grabbed Joanna’s hand, refusing to let her leave.
Dillan pleaded, “Joanna, wait. Let me talk to Sylvia and get her to transfer the company to me. I’ll still be chairman, and you’ll stay on as vice chair.”
Joanna was livid. Only now did she realize the company wasn’t Dillan’s at all. “Dillan, this company isn’t even yours.
“Yet you’ve been playing CEO day in and day out, and you even made me raise money for you. Are you out of your damn mind?”
Joanna thought bitterly, ‘How could Dad and I have been so blind? We actually followed Dillan’s every word without realizing he was a total good–for-
nothing.‘
“Joanna, I know the company isn’t mine yet, but trust me. It will be soon. You’ve got to believe me.” Dillan couldn’t bear to see Joanna leave. He was desperate to prove his sincerity.
He continued, “Joanna, you’re the only one that matters to me. Sylvia means nothing compared to you. I swear you’re the only woman I’ll ever love.”
Bang. Martin stormed into Cerulean Entertainment, his face twisted with rage. The moment he caught Dillan sweet–talking Joanna, he completely lost it, marching straight up and slapping Dillan hard across the face.

“Dillan, give me back every damn cent of my investment,” Martin roared, his face flushed with rage, Over a hundred million dollars down the drain, he
couldn’t swallow this at all.
Dillan clutched his stinging cheek and stumbled back several steps, hastily pleading, “Mr. Moore, please don’t worry. I swear I’ll get Sylvia to pay you
back.”
Martin demanded through gritted teeth, “What if she refuses?”
Dillan put on a show of composure and declared, “If she dares refuse me,

Martin remained silent, though doubt churned within him.

I’m telling you is true. Trust me.
Martin and Joanna exchanged a skeptical glance. Though neither of them believed Dillan, there was nothing else they could do for now, all they could do was hope he would get the money back.
With faces dark with anger, Martin and Joanna stormed out of the company one after the other.
Dillan rushed back to the company and dragged Fiona into the office.
“Mom,” he said urgently, “Sylvia will be here any minute. You’ve got to be nice to her. We need to sweet–talk her into handing over the company. Otherwise, all the money we’ve spent will go straight down the drain.”
Fiona fumed. “Expect me to be nice to her? No way. She’s desperate to marry you. If anything, she should be groveling at me.”
Dillan said urgently, “Mom, we can worry about that later. Right now, we need to take control of the company. And about the money Joanna invested? If we can’t get it back, she’ll hate my guts.”
Fiona’s eyes brightened at the mention of Joanna. “I like Joanna. I heard she’s in showbiz. She’d make us look good at events, way better than that divorced single mom, Sylvia.”
Completely oblivious to the gravity of the situation, Fiona was still scheming about potential daughters–in–law.
Seeing how clueless his mom was, Dillan slammed the table and snapped, “Mom, if you keep this up and we can’t get the money move back to our hometown with me and scrape by like before.”

Fiona was finally jolted into alarm. Panic flashing across her face, she blurted out, “No way. We can’t leave here. We won’t let Sylvia take over the huge company.”
Dillan finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Now you get it. So listen to me. First, we
keep Sylvia on our side, then we’ll take over the company.”
Fiona finally gave in with a reluctant nod.
That afternoon, Sylvia walked into Cerulean Entertainment.
Fiona instantly plastered on a bright, fake smile and eagerly motioned for Sylvia to sit. I’m good with you two getting married.”
Sylvia scoffed and said, “Don’t flatter yourself. What’s so great about marrying him?”
“Sylvi

Dillan walked over and said, “Sylvía, come on, that’s enough. My mom already apologized. I know you’re just jealous of Joanna. If you think we’re too close, I’ll try to keep my distance from her.”
Fiona kept nodding eagerly, her face fixed in an ingratiating smile. “Exactly, once you and Dillan get

Sylvia was utterly bored with their nonsense. She waved her hand dismissively and snapped, “Dillan, take your mother and get out of my company no You two have nothing to do with this place. I just called the cops, and they’ll be here any minute.”
Sylvia’s icy words made Dillan’s eyes go wide in shock. He sprang up from the couch and said, “Sylvia, what do you mean? Are you really trying to kick me and my mom out? My mother’s not getting any younger. Where would she go?”
