"Is everything ready for the engagement party? We came back to help!"

Jerrold glanced at her and her companion apologetically.

"There's been an issue. The engagement party is canceled. Here, take the car keys and head home first."

But the girl didn't leave. "What are you looking for, Big Brother? I've never seen you like this. Let us help!"

Jerrold hesitated for a moment before pulling up Catherine's photo on his phone and showing it to the two of them. "Find her. She's your future sister-in-law."

She had originally thought reclaiming the Li Corporation would be a long-term battle, requiring careful planning and patience. Yet now, the company had suddenly been returned to her father.

If she left, her father, with his fragile health, would have to bear the burden alone. She was still early in her pregnancy and could provide some support. At the very least, she needed to stay through the stabilization period before she could feel at ease Leaving.

Taking a deep breath, she pulled her suitcase and prepared to turn around.
