Bianca was in high spirits. The news article had completely turned the tide. After a continuous decline, Ascendancy Group's stock had surged and was still climbing. The shareholders who had been so critical of her were now silent. Even Mr. Prescott, the man who had dodged her meeting yesterday, called to reschedule. His tone was apologetic and deferential, claiming he had just returned from his business trip and was so sorry to have missed her.

Bianca knew it was all a game, but she played along, graciously inviting him to dinner. He accepted at once. On a whim, she also invited Henry, remembering her promise from the day before. Let Mr. Prescott see that she was not someone to be trifled with, that she had connections and resources to spare.

"I thought you weren't coming back until tomorrow," Yvonne said, surprised.

"I finished my work early," Forrest replied, tucking two financial magazines under his arm. He looked at his wife's attire. "Going out?"

"Yes, I'm having tea with Mrs. Chase and the others," she said, fluffing her hair.

"Have fun, then." Forrest changed his shoes and went straight upstairs.

"I'll have the housekeeper make you dinner later!" she called after him.

"I heard you!"
