Chapter 1195
No wonder even Marcus Garcia wanted Miguel to give Ahn City a try.
The Garcias were already the most esteemed and prominent family in Compassvale, but they were ambitious. They
wanted Miguel, who was still very young, to pick up some skills here and gain valuable experience by being a Ford
Corporation employee. This alone demonstrated the Garcia family‘s audacity and cunning “I‘ll find a way.
Somehow.” Miguel sighed. He laid the documents on the coffee table and exclaimed , “I simply refuse to believe
that apart from Weston Ford, there‘s just no one else in the whole of Ahn City that we can work with!”
“But working with him would clearly be most beneficial for us,” argued Stella. “Wouldn‘t it?”
She flipped through the documents and pointed at a line of words on one of them, saying, “With your qualifications,
as long as you could properly point out the benefits that you would bring them, I believe that there‘s a high chance

She had been closely studying the economy of the past
few years and found that they themselves were quite powerful in many ways.
“Why do you know all this stuff so well?” Miguel asked with displeasure in his voice after hearing Stella’s clear
headed analysis. “Didn‘t you say that you don‘t care about Weston Ford anymore?”
Stella massaged her temples. Those words proved that Miguel was being a bit too naive about all this.
“This concerns our profits and interests,” she explained, “so of course, I have to pay close attention to it. Besides,
have you forgotten that I own some of the shares too?”
These past three years, Stella had managed to earn a lot of money as an internationally renowned pianist. She
even had a lot left after giving a portion of it back to the Garcia family, so she used it to make investments.
“We‘re strictly talking about business right now, not . about anything else,” she stressed , her voice suddenly turning
serious. Don‘t you remember why we feared Weston Ford so much in the past? It‘s all because he has too much
money and power for us to even have a fighting chance. The only way for us not to ever be intimidated by him
again is to amass just as much money and power as he does, that way, we‘ll be on a level playing field with him, do
you understand? So before we get to that point, if all we need to do to get to our goal is to work with him, then why
on earth shouldn‘t we do it?”
Miguel fell silent for a long while after hearing her speak. Eventually, he chuckled drily and said, “I don‘t think I can
be as mature as you are.”
“But you have to be!” she reminded him. “You‘re not a child anymore, you know.”
She looked him in the eyes and told him, “Interests and benefits always come first in the adult world. As long as we
don‘t cross a certain line, we should be willing to do anything.” Miguel stared fixedly at Stella. After three years, it
seemed that she had grown wiser and more astute about many things. She was always calm and composed now.
Nothing ever seemed to provoke or distress her anymore.

But at the same time, it was obvious that there were certain things that she cared about, that she would pursue
doggedly without giving up. Miguel massaged the point between his eyebrows and muttered, “You know that it‘s not
any of those things that have been bothering me. It’s just that I...”
“I know,” Stella cut him off. “You‘re worried that I might get back with Weston Ford, right? Don‘t worry about that.”
She’tapped her finger on the table and nudged the coffee cup forward. With a smile , she assured him, “The thing
that you‘re worried about will never happen. Trust me.”
For some unknown reason, Miguel was suddenly moved as he looked into Stella‘s eyes. He felt the urge to believe
her, to believe everything that she said.
“Okay,” he said after taking a sip of the coffee. “We‘ll do as you say then. I‘ll do everything I can to surpass him in
wealth and power. One day, I’ll never have to fear him again...”
“And when that day comes,” he added, “will you be willing to give me a chance?”
