While Sophia was busy plotting against Zoe, something big was happening in Jelonsburg's elite circles.
During the couple of days Zoe was overseas for the contest, Walther—the richest man in Goldewood—took the business ideas Zoe had given him and invested a huge amount of money into Clusia's business scene, shaking up the whole market.
The Marlowe Group was suddenly founded in Jelonsburg.
With Walther's endless funding, Marlowe Group quickly attracted lots of young talent the moment it opened in Jelonsburg.
Of all those affected by Marlowe Group's arrival, the hardest hit were the Ludwig family and the White family.
Thanks to Walther's aggressive move, both families were anxious.
Just Marlowe Group's control over renewable light energy was enough to leave all the other new local businesses behind.
Their energy devices were a huge hit on the market, causing a hiring rush across Jelonsburg as everyone hurried to apply to Marlowe Group.
Word on the street was: getting a job at Marlowe Group was better than getting into Highcrest University.
Marlowe Group was backed by the Apex Investment Group, and it was just one of their many companies.
At its big opening, Marlowe Group boldly said that anyone who did well enough could get a chance to join the Apex Investment Group as an executive.
No wonder every ambitious young person in Jelonsburg was rushing to sign up. If they really made it into the Apex Investment Group, their family's status would shoot up overnight.
They didn't even have to become an executive at the Apex Investment Group—just getting into Marlowe Group was enough to raise their family's standing.
As this excitement swept through the city, even Eunice, who'd been stuck at home, started to think about her future.
She'd seen online people say more than once that if one worked at Marlowe Group, any bad rumors about them would be gone fast.
Now that her reputation was mud and she was the joke of Jelonsburg, Eunice wondered if she could get into Marlowe Group and shine again.
Eunice was eager to get back her place in Jelonsburg's fancy high society. For that, she decided to take a risk.
She was ready to fight her way into the company everyone was dying to join, become the business star everyone envied, and win back her spot among Jelonsburg's elites.
Eunice hurried downstairs to find Clara. "Mom, I want to join Marlowe Group. Can you help me find a great teacher to show me the ropes?"
Clara's eyes lit up excitedly. "That's wonderful, Eunice. I'm so proud of you. If you really get into Marlowe Group, your reputation will totally turn around. Your name will be even bigger than before!"
Clara said, "I'll go find you a teacher right now."
Watching her mom rush off, Eunice couldn't help but clench her fists. She had to work even harder than before.
She couldn't just stay at Highcrest forever. She was going to become a real elite, someone everyone else could only look up to.
She thought, 'Zoe, just wait. I'm still the top girl in this family—the one Mom and Dad are most proud of. What do you have to compete with me?'
People kept talking.
"My dear Queen, you finally picked up. I've been trying to reach you—I was about to send people all over Clusia to find you." Walther called as soon as Zoe stepped out of the airport.
Zoe replied coolly, "Just say it."
Walther chuckled on the other end. "I want you to be the boss of Marlowe Group."
He added, "I swear, I just want to give you money. You won't have to do anything. I promise you won't be bothered at all."
Zoe's face turned dark at that. She thought, 'No one does favors for free—especially a businessman like Walther, who never lifts a finger unless there's money in it.'
