Griffin was sentenced to three months in jail. Tristan refused to get involved any further, and Amelia went to the Saxon family for
help.
Amelia said, “This whole thing didn’t even hurt Aria’s reputation. The Palmer Group has already published an apology in the newspaper. Griffin is Aria’s own cousin–how could she be so ruthless?
“Zoe, Logan, please ask Aria to drop the lawsuit.”
Caleb said coolly, “Amelia, you should be glad Griffin was sentenced at all. If I’d found out about this sooner, I wouldn’t have let him off so easily.”
Zoe said bluntly, “Amelia, Griffin turned on his own family for outsiders. Three months is already lenient. We have things to do, so if you have nothing else, please leave.”
Amelia’s chest heaved with anger, her nails digging deep into her palms. She said, “Aria has already cut ties with you. Griffin is your real nephew.”
Logan sat on the couch, his expression cold. He said, “We don’t have a nephew like him. You’d better leave now, Amelia.”
Caleb slammed his documents shut and declared, “From now on, the Saxon family won’t get involved in the Palmer family’s
affairs.”
Amelia stood up, jabbing her finger at Caleb, her well–maintained face twisted with anger. She demanded, “We’ve always treated you so well. Why can’t you help Griffin?”
Caleb sneered, “Amelia, you only send a gift once a year–does that count as being good to me? Even if it does, the Saxon Group has already done more than enough for the Palmer Group. We don’t owe you anything.
“Say one more word, and Griffin will end up spending even longer behind bars.”
Amelia, seething with rage, raised her hand threateningly.,
But before she could do anything, Myrtle suddenly appeared out of nowhere and caught her wrist.
With just a little pressure from Myrtle’s well–trained fingers, Amelia yelped in pain.
“Get out,” Myrtle snapped.
Amelia stumbled back a few steps. She said, “How could you do this to me?”
Zoe turned to the bodyguards and ordered, “Show her out.”
The bodyguards immediately stepped forward and dragged Amelia away, her shrill curses fading into the distance.
Zoe glanced at Myrtle and said, “You’re a girl. Next time something like this happens, let Caleb deal with it himself.”
Myrtle grinned. She rolled up her sleeve to show off her muscles and said, “Caleb’s mom, I’m strong, you know.”
Zoe frowned at the address. She sat down next to Caleb and asked, “Does she like you?”
Caleb cleared his throat and said, “No, she’s been living abroad for a long time and still isn’t used to speaking Huthailian.”

Chapter 838
Zoe let out a disappointed “Oh.”
Just then, Myrtle piped up cheerfully, “Boss, can I take tomorrow off? I want to go see Aria.”
Caleb pushed up his glasses and said, “Let’s all go together.”
“Silvia can just come with me. Boss, you don’t need to go–after all, you’re a guy,” Myrtle said.
Caleb thought, ‘Yeah, it’s a girls‘ get–together. I shouldn’t butt in.‘ So he nodded and said, “Okay.”
Zoe glanced at Caleb and said, “So your assistant knows Aria, too?“.
Early on the morning of Independence Day, the Stars Group’s official social media account posted some preview images of the Quantum Superbrain Project.
The images featured a deep blue cosmic backdrop, with countless glowing quantum particles swirling together to form an intricate neural network shaped like a brain. Seven researchers in white coats stood amidst the torrent of particles.
The bold use of color and the striking visuals made the images incredibly impactful. Johnny even paid to get it onto the trending
list.
A lot of people were hooked by the artwork and clicked in to check it out.
There were three paintings in total, all related to the Quantum Superbrain Project.
One commented: [The way the light and shadows are done here looks just like Mono’s Nebula. The style is almost identical.]
Another comment read: [Mono’s been back in the country for a month now, living at the Fine Art Society. These paintings are recent, so he could very well have painted them himself.]
Someone else commented: [Mono has retired from painting for ages–he only gives guidance now, never actually paints, and there’s no way he’d take on commercial work.
[The Stars Group must’ve just found someone to imitate his style on purpose.]
