Sending a valuable gift to the Sky Group, Mrs. Jenkins hoped to secure a prominent guest for the Jenkins family's internal competition.

She hoped it would be Jack, who had come the previous time. But destiny had other plans in store. To Mrs. Jenkins’ great surprise, it was the general manager of the Sky Group herself!

Upon receiving the response from the Sky Group, Mrs. Jenkins got to know the identity of their distinguished guest. She found herself ina state of perplexity.

To be candid, the collaboration between the Jenkins family and the Sky Group was nothing more than an elaborate flattery dance.

After all, the Sky Group had enormous financial firepower. By contrast, the Jenkins family was in a state of decay for nearly two decades. Their pill alchemist, Elton, barely held a candle to the third-grade status, Leaving the family devoid of anything remarkable.

Initially, Mrs. Jenkins fretted over the possibility of the Sky Group sending an insignificant figure, someone even more inconsequential than the previous driver, Jack.

Little did she expect that the general manager would grace their doorstep.

“After all, the Sky Group has just dipped its toes into the ancient martial world. Despite their financial firepower, they still require the guiding hand of the Jenkins family. The fact that the general manager is here today indicates a genuine desire to collaborate,”

Mrs. Jenkins whispered to herself, finding solace in the notion and commending the Sky Group's enthusiastic approach.

Her gaze shifted toward the enchanting figure of the general manager, Julie, who walked gracefully to the stage. Julie, with her regal aura and elegant demeanor, resembled a senior executive rather than the towering and brawny Jack.

Mrs. Jenkins, satisfied with the turn of events, remained oblivious to the plummeting mood of Vivian, whose emotions sank to unfathomable depths.

“Why... How could it be my mother?! Why is that?"

Vivian's voice trembled, her eyes on the verge of tears.

Suddenly, a realization struck Vivian like a bolt of lightning. She couldn't refer to Julie as "Mom" anymore. It simply wouldn't do.

When Julie parted ways with Bill, Vivian had made a resolute choice to stand by Bill's side without hesitation.

It was later revealed that Vivian was not Julie's biological daughter, but the offspring of her godmother, Patricia.

Vivian's loyalty to Patricia, who had orchestrated countless machinations against Julie, made it impossible for Vivian to embrace Julie as her mother.

Vivian's head spun with confusion. Had it not been for the alluring prize after winning the competition, she would have fled from this place without a second thought.

“Eh? Miss Maria Jenkins, why is the representative of the Sky Group Mrs. Smith?"

Confusion abounded, but so did joy and disappointment.

A wide grin stretched across Grover's face upon seeing Julie.

“My mother wasn't supposed to come, but she took it upon herself to come instead of Jack," Maria said, mirroring his joy.

A few days prior, Anthony, unable to bear being away from Maria, orchestrated a clever plan, pretending to send a package to Lemna Yard in order to catch a glimpse of her.

Although Julie was not Maria's biological mother, her love for Maria knew no bounds.
