Ethan's elder brother, Asher Grimshaw, stood next in line to inherit the Grimshaw family's legacy as the patriarch.

Ethan seemed to be immersed in the world of medicine, but in truth, he was running errands for their aunt in the family business.

Together, they were consumed with the quest for an elixir of eternal youth.

It was likely no coincidence that Samantha had met Ethan; it reeked of the Grimshaws' machinations.

But this suited her just fine. She had grown weary of simple emotional entanglements; in this world, the strongest bonds were those forged by mutual benefit.

Pausing, she smirked and said, "You don't expect me to help you research the elixir of eternal youth, do you?"

Her question sounded more like a statement.

Ms. Grimshaw chuckled softly, not denying it. "Have you considered it?"

After a recent clash, GTO was scattered, and without the support of the Grimshaw family, Samantha knew she'd be a sitting duck if she dared show her face.

With a coy smile, Samantha straightened her dress and sat up. "Well, when you put it that way, I can hardly refuse such generous hospitality. We've been collaborators for so long; what's one more day?"

It was true that they had been collaborators. After all, Ethan's resources had always been at her disposal.
