In his arms, Aurora was still wide–eyed, filled with curiosity about the world around her. Josiah shifted his. position to hold her more comfortably. He also pulled her tiny dress downward to straighten it out.

“She has nothing to do with me.” Josiah gestured toward Lysander with his chin. “However, she has helped Lysander a lot.”

Nieva shook her head, chuckling lightly. “Oh, returning a favor.”

“Yes, you could say that.”

Nieva became serious. “How much is needed?”

In a few brief words, Josiah explained the situation about Daphne’s family. “The company’s bank loan has been fully repaid, but as you are well aware, it takes some capital to make a comeback.”

Nieva scanned Josiah from head to toe with a peculiar gaze and said, “That’s odd. You could have easily handled this situation yourself. It would have been much more convenient than seeking my help. Is there something else going on here that I should know about?”

Josiah cradled Aurora in his arms, leaning gently against the backrest as he spoke. “I’ve transferred some money, but I suspect she has her reservations. She probably won’t use it.”

After hearing everything, Nieva did not immediately express her stance. Instead, she fell into silence for a

moment.

As Josiah was helping Daphne, Lysander chimed in, “My friend’s family business has always been stable. However, an elder in the family got ill and had to stay abroad temporarily, leading to this urgent situation. I understand that investing certainly carries risks, and I can’t guarantee that it will definitely be profitable and won’t incur losses. But what I can promise is that my friend will certainly do their best.”
