Jake and Oliver turned to see Keira approaching them.

The moment Jake saw Keira, his eyes lit up.

Oliver, on the other hand, frowned. "What are you doing here?"

Keira walked over and went straight to the point. "I think your son has potential, so I'm planning to invest in him to start a company."

Oliver was stunned for a moment. Then, his face turned red with anger. "So you've decided to go against me?"

Keira shrugged. "I didn't think too much about it. I just want to give an old classmate a chance."

Oliver took a deep breath, struggling to keep his temper in check. "You..."

But Keira had already turned to Jake. "Remember in college when we talked about starting a chemical company after graduation? Well, now I want to invest in you. Will you accept?"

Jake was caught off guard. He looked at Keira, wanting to ask: Are you investing in me to spite my father or because you feel sorry for me?

But before he could say anything, Keira cut him off. "You know me. I don't let emotions drive my decisions. I'm investing in you because I think you're the right fit."

Jake had strengths that set him apart. His social skills and his ability to draw people together were even better than Keira's and arguably better than Lewis's as well.

Jake clenched his fists, his jaw tightening.
