Chapter 645: Vance had assumed that it was just polite rejection wrapped in business speak. But now Alice's own post was live for the world to see, which threw him completely off balance. Had his contact somehow worked magic behind the scenes? Maybe persistent follow-up had actually changed her mind? Doubt gnawing at him, he quickly fired off an email to Alice directly, needing absolute confirmation of tomorrow's plans. Her response came back faster than expected. "Absolutely, touching down at Wront airport at 1 PM sharp.

Really looking forward to this visit." Relief washed over Vance as he read the message. His worries had been for nothing. He looked up at his father, who was still basking in online praise.

I want tomorrow's event to grab the media spotlight, but make sure it stays under the radar." "Understood. I'll see to it right away," the assistant replied before slipping out of the room. A hint of a smirk returned to Kolton's face. Everything was falling into place, exactly as he intended.
