Chapter 78 Chapter 78 Scheming Under the Spotlight Joshua's eyes lit up upon hearing Bertha's words. "Bertha, you're truly resourceful. This plan works. As long as we can please Beatrice, Julian's opinion means nothing." 1/5 Bertha smiled smugly, "But we need to come up with what gift to give her. It must satisfy Beatrice." Joshua nodded but frowned. "The Hawke family is the richest clan in Putnam. They possess all kinds of treasures. It won't be easy to please Beatrice." "Moreover, many other tycoons will attend. Their gifts may not be rare in the world, but they're certainly priceless.

If we want to catch Beatrice's attention, it won't be easy either." Bertha chuckled, "We just need to cater to her preferences- she'll definitely like it." After a pause, Bertha said, "Dad, I want to go to Putnam." Joshua immediately grasped her meaning. "You want to investigate Beatrice's preferences in Putnam?" Bertha nodded. "No matter what, we must secure a share of the East Suburb project. Once this is settled, your position in the company will be solidified, and the board will trust you more."

Once it's proven that Aurora isn't the one who harmed Camille, he'll lose his justification for hurting her. Then, he and Aurora will never be together. Another reason Bertha insisted on going to Putnam was to personally verify whether the Hawke family's heir truly matched the rumors. If he was like truly a playboy, she would never want him even if he was ten out of ten. But if he wasn't, Bertha would make him hers. Suddenly, Celeste rushed into the room in a panic.

Her face pale with panic and worry, Celeste demanded, "Joshua, Chapter 78 Scheming Under the Spotlight 3/5 how can you stay so calm while Aurora has been missing for so long?" Joshua, interrupted from scheming with Bertha, waved impatiently. "She left on her own. The Elvador family doesn't need her." Celeste, hearing these heartless words, felt as though she'd been plunged into an ice cellar. Tears welled up and streamed down her face. She choked out, "Aurora is also your daughter.
