Bowen kissed Aubree slowly, taking his time as he explored every part of her with quiet patience.
"I..." Aubree was left speechless. What Bowen had said was true.
Having been granted a second chance at life, love was never something Aubree sought. Aubree could not bring herself to believe that anyone would be foolish—or brave—enough to stand by her without conditions.
I'd rather never have it at all than face possible separation later,' Aubree thought. 'After I've had my revenge, whether through adoption or IVF, I'll raise an exceptional heir. I'll make sure my child knows that self-worth matters more than anything else.'
Of all the things she planned for, love was never one of them.
Bowen looked into her eyes and said softly, "Don't rush to reject me. Just give me a chance. Let me prove I'm not the wrong choice."
Bowen's breathing remained steady, his hand still resting on the back of her head, his thumb gently caressing her temple. He said softly, "Even if this doesn't work out, having an all-around bodyguard at your side for a while—doesn't sound too bad, does it?
"I don't mind you taking advantage of me. On the contrary, I'd be absolutely delighted if you did. Or, to put it more plainly, to make full use of me."
Aubree was utterly stunned. She never expected Bowen to say something like that.
Aubree was panicking, her mind blank. Whether it was Bowen's tempting offer or that dangerously persuasive look in his eyes, she could not tell. In the end, the only thing she remembered was that a quiet "Okay" had slipped from her lips.
Satisfied, Bowen did not push further. He gently pulled back and planted a kiss on Aubree's forehead. "Get some rest," he murmured.
Aubree's face turned beet red. She sat frozen on the sofa, taking long moments to collect herself.
As Alvin headed upstairs, he was greeted by the sight of Enrique in a most undignified pose—his butt sticking out, pressed up against the study door as if eavesdropping.
Alvin thought in disbelief, 'Is this really something Grandpa would do? Seriously, shouldn't Grandpa know better than anyone how soundproof this study is?'
"What are you doing, Grandpa?" Alvin blurted out.
Getting caught eavesdropping by his own grandson, Enrique looked visibly awkward. Before he could even straighten up, the study door swung open. Bowen stared wordlessly at Enrique, who nearly fell into his arms. "Dad, you're over 60, not 16," Bowen said dryly.
Alvin immediately understood what was going on. He shot a reproachful look at the two shameless men in front of him and muttered, "Aubree must have had the worst luck in the world to end up with you two."
Bowen's lips curved into a smirk. "I'd be more than happy to take responsibility for her indefinitely."
The study door was not fully closed, and when Aubree overheard Bowen's words, the heat that had just started to fade from her cheeks came rushing back in an instant.
Bowen peeked into the room and saw Aubree doing her best ostrich impression—head down, pretending she did not exist. Bowen chuckled under his breath. 'How can she be this cute?' he thought.
After the SAT, the Wilson family tried everything to track Aubree down, but Aubree had already taken off on a solo trip abroad. In her previous life, she never had the chance to see the world properly—not even up to her death. Now that the company was not too busy and the exams were over, Aubee booked herself a ticket to Miralaea for a well-earned vacation.
Of course, every day she had to put up with Bowen's endless, whiny complaints over the phone. He was just like a pining, neglected lover.
Aubree was ready to launch Zappy—not just domestically, but globally. The final stop of her journey took her to Odionland.
Aidan knew Aubree was coming and had everything ready for her well in advance. Playzy was a huge hit overseas, and Aidan had made a fortune from the streaming platform. In his eyes, Aubree showing up was nothing short of a godsend.
Zappy was a project that had been agreed on earlier, and communication between both sides had gone smoothly.
Aubree said, "Over the past few months, I've been running pilot promotions for Zappy domestically. The results have been very promising.
"This time, I'm planning to launch the platform both domestically and internationally. I'll still be partnering with you for the international launch, of course, but the international release will come about two months after the domestic one."
Aidan grinned and extended his hand. "Then, here's to a successful partnership!"
Upon returning from Odionland, Aubree wasted no time switching gears from vacation mode and plunged headfirst into a new round of challenges.
She integrated the Zappy project into the Playzy team, placing them in charge of its full operations.
"Ms. Miller, the operational model for Zappy is quite similar to Playzy," someone pointed out. "The only real innovation lies in its short, punchy videos ranging from a few seconds to a couple of minutes—mostly comedic content."
Aubree said, "That's all we need. To put it simply, Zappy is a new media platform, and its real strength lies in these fast-paced short videos—didn't our beta testing already prove how effective they are? As for those live-streaming commerce tactics, that's just traffic monetization.
"You've got to show people there's real business potential in short videos—otherwise, why would anyone bother putting in the effort, right?"
Aubree smiled. What she did not say was that short video platforms could expand into countless industries—mini-drama promotions, influencer marketing, and eventually even official government accounts would join in. That was when it truly became a nationwide media platform. Even some foreign leaders would not be able to resist joining the trend.
Zappy would not only dominate domestic traffic, but also become a powerful platform for global cultural exchange!
"But will that alone really attract viewers?" one of the team members questioned.
Aubree smiled and replied, "Well, that all depends on how well you deliver. If big data analytics can recommend videos tailored to each user's interests, isn't that the best way to keep them engaged?"
Though Zappy and Playzy were launched around the same time, the time and funding that went into Zappy far surpassed what was spent on Playzy.
Aubree's strategic vision for Zappy was clear: leverage short-form videos as a springboard, transition into long-form content, and ultimately diversify into other industries.
This was where the benefits of working with Peace Entertainment really started to show. As Aubree prepared to launch Zappy, she had already reached out to Sylvia, who got the influencer division at Peace Entertainment to nurture a new wave of content creators across different genres.
When Zappy officially rolled out, it led with a clear, heartwarming message: "Celebrate Life's Beautiful Moments."
Aubree poured serious money into the campaign. From metro screens to bus displays and app homepages, Zappy was absolutely everywhere.
Not only that, Aubree also shelled out a fortune to bring in a lineup of A-list celebrities to star in Zappy's commercials.
On top of that, she set up a generous incentive fund of 35 million dollars. During Zappy's first month, all short-video creators could sign up—by producing high-quality videos, they could earn cash rewards. The grand prize alone was in the six-figure range.
Thanks to a massive marketing blitz and the lure of massive cash prizes, Zappy immediately attracted hordes of content creators as soon as it launched, many of whom had transitioned from live-streaming platforms.
In just a matter of days, millions of creators had already flocked to Zappy's platform. The growth rate was phenomenal—eclipsing even what Playzy had achieved at its peak.
After Zappy's successful launch and promotion, Aubree was met with a milestone of her own—her SAT results were finally out.
