Chapter 161

Fabian glanced at the table piled high with exquisite dishes and fine wines, a sly glint flashing in his eyes. All

these dishes were made according to his tastes. It seemed Elysia had done her homework on him beforehand.

He thought that the person sent by Spark Entertainment to discuss a collaboration would at least be a high-

ranking executive, but to his surprise, it was just a young girl. This was really interesting.

“I don’t care about the food. What's more important is this-Spark Entertainment sent a little girl like you to talk

business with me. | can’t help but question your company’s sincerity,” he said in a playful tone.

Elysia immediately picked up on his implication-he was criticizing her age. “Mr. Evans, you're known for being

decisive, and you value ability above all. Why don’t you talk a bit tobefore deciding whether Spark

Entertainment is sincere?”

Fabian looked at the composed Elysia, his interest piqued even more. He hadn't expected her to remain so calm

and collected under pressure. Her business acumen and poised attitude were even more impressive than some

seasoned executives.

A small smirk played on his lips as he leaned in. “Interesting. Alright then, tellwhat exactly are you capable

of?”

Elysia smiled and placed the contract on the table. She gently slid it until it was directly in front of Fabian, then

stopped. “As for what | can do, Mr. Evans, why don’t you take a look at this contract? Then you'll know.”

“You're quite straightforward. You want to dive straight into a business like this, huh? Shouldn’t we enjoy the

meal first before discussing a partnership?” Fabian said, a teasing note in his voice.

Elysia remained calm. “Why not? If a win-win situation is on the table, there's no need to wait. Besides, who says

we need to eat first to talk business? If it benefits both sides, we can just go straight to the point. Don’t you

think?”

Fabian said, “What do you mean?”

Elysia said, “Instead of dining for the sake of business, why not call it a celebration? It would make the

atmosphere much more pleasant, right?”

Elysia gave him a pointed look. When he didn’t speak right away, she added, “I'm sure you're already well aware

of Spark Entertainment's reputation and performance.

“If Spark Entertainment and Fabian Group were to join forces, it would certainly open doors to a bright future.

You have chere personally because you've also seen the potential, right, Mr. Evans? So why not cut to the

chase and get to the point?”

Given Fabian’s status, there was no way he would personally meet with any company executive to discuss a

partnership. Although it was Elysia who came, the meaning behind this meeting hadn't changed from the start.

Fabian’s appearance was enough to show how much he valued this collaboration. Of course, there was also the

possibility that he was trying to use his status to pressure Spark Entertainment and secure more profit.

As Elysia spoke, Fabian smiled, thinking she was a clever girl. He had indeed underestimated her earlier. Looking

at her face, he couldn't help but be reminded of Evelyn.

He thought, ‘Evelyn had been so clever-if she had stayed healthy and made it to this age, she would have been

just like Elysia, but..

As memories of the past flooded his mind, a wave of sadness hit him. Even though it had been a long time, his

longing for Evelyn never faded, and neither did the sorrow of his parents and his brothers.

‘But could two people really look this much alike?’ Suddenly, a thought struck Fabian with surprising clarity. He

was distracted.

Evelyn had been a twin. Evelyn was supposed to have a sister, but the girl tragically passed away shortly after

birth.

Fabian recalled the prenatal checkup where the doctor had clearly stated that one of the twins was healthy,

while the other was weaker, and it was uncertain if she would survive. However, on the day of birth, the healthy

one died while the weaker one-Evelyn-survived.

Although it had been weird, no one had ever questioned it. After all, they had seen the deceased child with their

own eyes. And with their long-awaited little sister gone in such a way, they didn’t have the energy to consider

anything else.

However, now, as Fabian thought back on it, perhaps that event should be re-examined.

He had a strong feeling that Elysia was somehow connected to his lost sister. However, the details remained

unclear, and he couldn't make sense of it just yet.

Seeing Fabian frown and lost in thought, Elysia tilted her head slightly. “Mr. Evans, are you done thinking?”

Fabian snapped out of his thoughts upon hearing Elysia’s question. He knew no matter what suspicions he had,

the purpose of his visit today was to discuss the partnership. He should sort out everything else after this matter

was settled.

He said, “How should I call you?”

Elysia said, “Elysia Rosewood.”

“Elysia Rosewood.” Fabian repeated the nto himself, before finally speaking up, “I think your words make a

lot of sense.” His eyes grew sharp as he picked up the contract on the table, quickly scanning it. Then, without

hesitation, he signed his nat the bottom and slid the contract back across to her. “Looking forward to a

successful partnership.”

Elysia hadn’t expected him to agree so quickly. From his expression earlier, she thought he might be dissatisfied

with the terms Spark Entertainment offered. She was thinking about how to handle that when, to her surprise, he

signed the deal. She was stunned.

Within seconds, she regained her composure and smiled. too.”

Fabian’s gaze lingered on her smile. It reminded him so much of Evelyn-she used to smile like that. Thinking

about it, his suspicions only deepened.

If he hadn't seen her in person, he might have let it slide. Since he had seen her with his own eyes, he couldn't

help feeling suspicious.

“A toast to our partnership, Mr. Evans!” Elysia said as she picked up her glass, ready to take a drink, but Fabian

suddenly stopped her.

Elysia paused, looking at him in surprise,

Fabian said, “You're still a kid. Alcohol is not good for your health.”

Elysia felt confused, thinking, ‘Why would he care?’

Honestly, Fabian didn’t know what was wrong with him. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't have said a word.

However, seeing Elysia, he felt an overwhelming sense of protectiveness. He just didn’t want her to drink.

Although he didn’t understand why she, someone of school age, was out here discussing business, he still felt

the urge to

protect her just like he had once tried to protect Evelyn.

Since he had made the request, Elysia simply complied. She set her glass down and picked up the juice beside

her, offering him a sweet smile. “Fine, I'll toast with juice instead of wine. Here's to you, Mr. Evans!”

“Good,” Fabian replied, raising his glass and drinking it all in one go.

He thought he made the right choice to meet her tonight,

When they left Stellar Restaurant, Nicole's car was already outside. After a brief goodbye to Fabian, Elysia slid

into the passenger seat of the red sports car.

Fabian’s gaze lingered on the car as it drove off, watching it disappear into the distance before finally pulling his

eyes away.
