Chapter 389

Aiden looked at Julian, who was undeniably handsome, with a noble, gentlemanly air that even surpassed his own.

Aiden cleared his throat and said sincerely, “Make sure you treat my daughter well from now on.”

Julian nodded. “I will”

“Dad, there’s something I need to talk to you about. Sienna said.

Aiden replied, “Go on.”

Sienna lowered her gaze to the exquisite cup on the table–an antique Julian had procured, worth a staggering 500 grand.

“The company’s run into a bit of trouble lately, she said.

Aiden’s face flashed with panic for a moment. Is the company really going under? he thought.

Is there really nothing you can do?” he asked.

Sienna looked up at him. “I can fix it, but I’ll need your help. Dad.”

Aiden had a bad feeling about this, but he couldn’t say no–after all, he was living off the Hart Corporation now.

“Of course, I’ll help however I can. But like you said, I’m really not cut out for business, so I might not be much use,” he said sincerely
