“Of course!"

Bill snorted with a Look of undisguised complacency on his face. Julie's shoulders sank, and she was at a Loss for words.

She knew Bill was right, but somehow, she felt guilty towards Maria. With a sigh, she finally nodded. "Fine, I'll invest in Patricia's new company... but only on one condition."

“Of course! Just say the word, Julie. Patricia and I can satisfy whatever condition it is," Bill said, nodding enthusiastically. Hearing the change in his tone, Julie suddenly wanted to Laugh.

Why did Bill act as if he and Patricia were a family, while Julie was an outsider?

But this was just a vague thought that Julie decided to ignore.

She said slowly, "Alright. The condition is, if Maria is willing to be an artist in Patricia's company, you must sign her. What's more, you should genuinely provide her with resources to develop her career.”

For a moment, Bill was stunned. When Julie's words finally registered in his mind, a look of disdain formed on his face.

“Julie, can't you ask for something else?"

Maria didn't expect that Bill would come and talk to her.

Today, she was in Anthony's villa, receiving her regular check-up from Jessica.

She had received a message from Bill asking to see her all of a sudden. After asking for Anthony's permission, she had sent the address of the villa to Bill.

Half an hour later, Bill arrived at Anthony's villa with a delicate fruit basket in his hand.

“Anthony, I hope I'm not disturbing. I have something to talk to Maria about. I've brought you some fruit. These grapes and mangoes are all imported, and they're of much higher quality than domestic ones. Come on, have a taste."

It was just a basket of fruit, but Bill bragged about it as if he had brought gold.

He even went to find a plate for the fruits before solemnly putting them in front of Anthony.

But out of habit, he didn't offer any to Maria, nor did he bother to greet her.

He picked up a big grape and held it out to Anthony, who made no movement to take it.

It was only then that Bill actually noticed Maria, who was sitting next to Anthony, holding his arm. She was staring at Bill with a cold look on her face.

“Well... Maria, here, have some."
