Chapter 206
“Mr. Williams. Miss Bianca Yeats had someone deliver a gift for you.” The butler entered the room and placed the gift on the table.
“The Years family! Bianca? Which Years family? Which Bianca?”
The butler answered, “Miss Bianca Yeats told me to mention Ada’s name, and you’d know who she is
Harper s mind ticked over the name Ada. He had heard it before, but it didn’t stand out. He was constantly meeting new people, and this one didn’t leave much of an impression
He vaguely remembered that Ada had designed clothes for one of his overseas models. Though her work was better than some of the low–tier designers, it still didn’t capture his attention.
If Ada hadn’t also been an amateur doctor, one who outshone most professionals and had helped take care of his grandfather, he wouldn’t have spared her designs a second glance. Mediocrity, in his eyes, was unforgivable.
In his world, only one designer truly blew him away: Rose
Ada, on the other hand, was the kind of person who was competent at everything but lacked that spark that would set her apart.
“Alright, take the gift away: I need to get up and get dressed,” Harper said, waving a hand.
“Yes, Mr. Williams” The butler called for someone to remove the gift and left the room.
When Harper woke up, his phone was flooded with unread messages. He wasn’t in the mood to deal with any of it, so he swiped them all away with
one click
Helenored the incoming calls 100.
Opening WhatsApp, one message caught his eye–Elaine. Harper, have you come back to the country!
It was short, but so typical of Rose, Simple, but to the point.
Harper’s heart skipped a beat. He sprang out of bed.
Rose had been making waves while he was away–shed even appeared on a variety show.
Typical Rose–wherever she went, she’d light up the room
He immediately called her back, his voice groggy from just wal
waking up “Rose!”
Elaine raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. “Harper, you’re finally awake
“Don’t even get me staned. Harper muttered. “I’ve been at my boss’s beck and call for months, finishing a huge project. I’ve earned my rest. But this time, when I come home, I’m not leaving again. I heard Crafnstagram wants to invite you to his big show, is that true! Are you opening or closing?”
Elaine answered, “That’s right, Crafnstagram reached out to me for his first big show in Hosgland. I couldn’t turn him down. He’s booked me for the
dosing”
Harper let out a low whistle. “Wow, Craig’s really going easy on you, huh? Just closing? I thought for sure he’d have you opening, given you’ve always been his go–to opening model”
He chuckled. “But hey, I’ve heard you’re blowing up online, Walk that runway and everyone will recognize you as Zora, the supermodel”
Things were about to get interesting. The buzz on the internet would be insane.
Elaine laughed softly, then added. “Harper, you should probably focus on yourself for once. You’ve got talent that stands out, both here and abroad. Now that you’re back, I’m sure your phone’s going to be blowing up with offers
The thought of those calls was enough in make Harper groan. He wasn’t back for work.
Elaine then asked. “By the way, how’s your grandfather doing?”
Harper stone softened. “Rose, I really owe you. If it weren’t for you, helping my grandfather with his health, especially after the surgery you assisted with, he wouldn’t be doing as well as he is now. He even mentioned wanting to invite you over to our house. If you have time, we should all get
Elaine nodded thoughtfully. “Actually, I need something from you. How about we meet this afternoon?”

At 3 PM, they met at a cafe. They spent some time catching up, and Harper learned more about Elaine’s journey.
He slapped his forehead in realization. “I think I finally get it. The Bianca you mentioned–she’s Ada, right? I remember her being somewhat well- known when she was abroad. But after seeing your and Sally’s designs, I’m sure you wouldn’t think much of hers. This morning, I think she and her brother came by my villa to drop off a gift. I’m not sure what they want.
Elaine took a sip of her coffee, unfazed. “What else could it be? She’s definitely looking for your help. She wants you to invest in the Galaxy Entertainment project,”
Harper munered under his breath, “I knew they were up to something. So, I come back to the country, and the first thing they want is for me to
work?”
Abad feeling began to creep into his chest. “Rose, you’re not here to ask me to work, are you?”
Elaine’s smile never faltered as she teased, “You got it. I’ve got a project, a show, and I need your investment”
Harper’s eyes widened as realization dawned. “Ah, so you’re going to compete with Bianca, hule”
Elaine shrugged. “Yes… and no.”
Radiant Media needed a big–name project to make a splash and build capital.
Without a second thought, Harper agreed. Fine, anything for you, Rose.”
Flaine beamed. “Thanks.”
are you free? Why
Harper waved it off. “We don’t need to thank each other. I haven’t even thanked you for saving my grandfather’s life. By the way, are don’t you come with me to visit him? He’s been asking to see you for ages”
Elaine grabbed her car keys. “Sure, let’s go.”
Adam, Harper’s grandfather, Adam, had been living alone in the family’s old house since his retirement.
After Adam retired, he lived alone in the old residence.
A half–hour later, they arrived at the Williams family estate.
But when they entered, they found a rather unexpected group already there: Bianca, Jepson, and Harlan were all sitting in the living room.
Adam sat in his chair, immediately recognizing their intent. They were here to get close to his grandson, no doubt about it.
“Miss Yeats, please, make yourselves at home,” Adam said, signaling for the butler to bring coffee.
Bianca wasted no time and inquired, “How’s your health been lately, Mr. Williams“
Adam chuckled heartily. “Oh, Miss Years, you’re too kind. Same old ailments. But I do appreciate your help before.”
Bianca smiled sweetly. “Mr. Williams, we came to check on you. This is Harlan, one of the top doctors in Boynton, highly ranked in his field. My skills pale in comparison.
“Why don’t we let him have a look at y
you! What do you think?”
Adam raised an eyebrow, surprised by her offer.
He had heard of Harlan’s great reputation, but he hadn’t expected him to come all this way just to check on
