Chapter 104: Chapter 104: New Alias

Sienna Everett sat alone on the sofa for a while when she received a text message:

[Are you really retiring? Reply, reply! Don’t you dare pretend you didn’t see this!]

Sienna Everett lazily typed back: [Yeah.]

The person on the other end grew anxious: [Don’t! We can’t live without you! Not even for a day!]

Sienna Everett smiled and exchanged a few more playful messages.

...

Just as Sienna Everett had expected, after nearly a month in jail, the Everett family got Mason Everett out.

For the past month, Sheila Whitaker had been washing her face with tears every day, her eyes swollen from crying.

When she saw Mason Everett return home, Sheila Whitaker immediately had the maids prepare mugwort to ward off bad luck.

In just one short month, Morgan Everett’s hair had turned considerably grayer, and his spirits were much lower than before.

Morgan Everett cared about face more than anything. After holding his anger in for a month, it erupted like a volcano at Mason Everett. "Now that you’ve been to jail, how are people going to look at our family! You’ve completely disgraced us, inside and out!"

Sheila Whitaker immediately tried to placate him. "Morgan, that’s enough. The important thing is that Mason’s home."

Shannon Everett chimed in, persuading him in a considerate and sensible manner, "Dad, don’t be angry. The most important thing is that Big Brother is home. Money and face are external things; we can earn them back slowly in the future."

That was what Shannon Everett said, but inwardly, she was grinding her teeth in hatred. ℯ

’I thought that once Sienna Everett was kicked out of the Everett Family, all the family’s assets would be mine.’

’But I never expected this to happen. Mason went to jail, the family’s assets shrank drastically, and who knows how much just evaporated.’

’And all that evaporated money was supposed to be mine!’

Miles Everett was a restorer of cultural relics with a calm personality, uninterested in things like wealth. "Shannon is right. Dad, don’t be so anxious."

Lucas Everett patted Mason Everett’s shoulder. "Big Brother, you’ve suffered. It’s all that damn girl Sienna Everett’s fault! She has no regard for family ties, no humanity at all!"

Mason Everett remained silent. After getting out of jail, a dark cloud seemed to hang over him.

Looking at the negative news reports about the Everett Family, the falling stock price of the Everett Group, and the public’s online criticism, Mason Everett’s brow furrowed tightly.

’I will never allow the Everett Family to fall on my watch.’

Suddenly, a bombshell news story popped up—

The top international fashion designer, "Kian," has announced their retirement!

A gleam suddenly appeared in Mason Everett’s eyes.

Kian was the chief designer for the world-renowned luxury brand G.Y.

Just how famous was the G.Y. brand? Dignitaries, noblewomen, socialites, and ladies from all over the world loved to wear its clothes.

And Kian was one of G.Y.’s founders, as well as its chief fashion designer.

It could be said that Kian was a legend in the design world, famous across the globe.

Although Kian had never made a public appearance, someone had once snapped a photo of their back, revealing a graceful woman from Celestria.

The Everett Group owned a clothing brand. If they could poach Kian to be its chief designer, it would be a huge boost for the Everett Group.

Moreover, as a legend in the design world, Kian had an excellent reputation and an extraordinary amount of influence and pull.

If they could recruit Kian to the Everett Group, the company’s reputation would gradually improve along with it.

Mason Everett gazed at the only existing photo of Kian—a picture of their back—and his expression grew determined.

’I have to find a way to recruit Kian and restore the reputation of the Everett Group and the Everett Family!’
