Now reading: Chapter 1167 - 1165: Casual Conversation from Darkstone Code, a Drama novel by Tripod.

A smart woman never feels entitled to any privilege just because she has slept with a man.

Momo is a very interesting woman, talkative and knowledgeable. As a female host, she possesses knowledge that many won do not.

This feeling... is hard to describe. Most won don’t have such a broad and extensive knowledge reserve.

Sotis, when faced with slightly difficult questions, they make jokes about their gender while cautiously skirting the issue.

Momo doesn’t do that. She can discuss any topic with you, critique your remarks, and express her own opinions.

This is not easy; it gives Lynch a sense of having found a "kindred spirit." She may not be the best woman, but she’s certainly soone you can relax around.

Besides these qualities, she has a laid-back attitude towards life and gender dynamics, even making Lynch feel that if she were a man, they would surely be great friends.

After a pleasurable encounter, the two lay on lounge chairs, relaxing and chatting while sipping drinks.

"Do you know that female writer who was a guest on my show last ti, the one who wrote ’Lynch’s Adventure 2’ for you?"

Momo suddenly ntioned a girl who had nearly faded from Lynch’s mory, to which he nodded, "Yes, I know her."

Lynch felt that the relationship between this girl and her twisted father wasn’t as simple as people made it out to be. But since he wasn’t a policeman or journalist, he never pursued the truth and had no further thoughts.

Hearing Momo ntion this woman, he seed to realize she was in the news again.

Momo’s response confird Lynch’s suspicion.

"So ti ago, that woman was very successful. She published the book transcribing your words and received rave reviews, appearing on various shows. Even so film companies bought the adaptation rights to her stories."

"One company even wanted her to play herself as the female lead in the movie."

Momo had a sly smile on her face. She was lying on the lounge chair, wearing only shorts, exuding a free and breezy vibe.

"You know, when soone becos famous, opportunists always hover around them, looking for a chance..."

Lynch nodded. The Federation, and indeed the whole world, was like that.

When one is unknown and not wealthy, they’re surrounded by unfortunate or ordinary people.

When one exhibits certain traits and starts gaining wealth, it becos the best ti in their life.

People who speak eloquently, look attractive, or know how to charm others frequently appear around them, even entering their lives.

The female writer’s life is no different; since she rose to fa, many opportunists have erged.

The movie companies that bought the adaptation rights are like that too. They want to impress audiences with "based on a true story." Others have offered to manage her wealth and undertake various investnts.

Among them, there are those who hope to beco her close partner through simpler, more direct ans.

In Momo’s account, an outstanding young man appeared in the writer’s life and made a bold declaration of love to her.

After avoiding him several tis, the young man’s persistence eventually won her over, and they quickly fell deeply in love.

The couple frequently appeared in the dia, announcing they would walk into the future together and build a wonderful family, even announcing their engagent.

Lynch seed to recall seeing this in the newspaper but didn’t pay attention to such trivial news, so he missed it.

"... Just when everyone thought this handso guy would soothe the darkest part of the writer’s past, things took an unexpected turn."

"Her father in prison suddenly filed a new lawsuit against her, claiming she violated their agreent..."

As Momo discussed the matter, her expression was also quite puzzling, "You might not imagine how terrifying what he said was. He told the prosecutor that he was actually the victim."

"He accused his daughter of exploiting his love for her, maintaining a forbidden, morally reprehensible relationship over the long term."

"After graduating, the writer sent manuscripts to various publishers and resus but was rejected. To quickly gain fa and status, they fabricated this scandalous case."

"But there was one precondition: she would continue raising their child..."

"The writer’s sudden high-profile announcent of her romance and plans to start a new family, while hiding the fact that she had a child, made the imprisoned father very anxious. He feared for his child’s, or rather his grandchild’s, safety."

"After multiple failed attempts to contact his daughter, he decided to speak out."

After listening, Lynch was a bit shocked. The complexity of the situation exceeded his initial speculation, and he felt that this might not even be the true depth of the matter.

After pondering for a while, he sighed, "Humans are terrifying creatures."

Momo nodded, agreeing, "But they also make our lives interesting."

Lynch had an idea, but since Momo was in the rise of her career, ntioning it now wouldn’t bring the largest reward, so he would have to wait.

Although everything seed fine for her now, her current success was just a "fleeting" success without solid foundations, which would quickly dissipate.

The Federation Society is ultimately a male-dominated society. Despite ongoing feminist movents, the upper echelons remain tightly controlled by n.

Perhaps change will co in the future, but within the next decade, that’s unlikely.

Even considering Mrs. Tracey’s gubernatorial campaign, Lynch didn’t think it would be easy.

She might fail, and even if she succeeded, the cost would far outweigh winning a governorship.

The sacrifices might enable two or even three ordinary politicians to win, but here, it would only allow her to barely succeed.

Moreover, behind successful won like Mrs. Tracey, Severa, and others, usually stood figures that the majority had to look up to.

Momo had no such influential figures behind her. While she might excel now, once the public’s interest waned, she’d end up like countless forr celebrities, discarded into the trash.

By then, discussing collaboration would yield better returns than currency presently.

After spending a fulfilling night with Momo, satisfying both body and spirit, Lynch quickly imrsed himself in work the next day. A photographer accompanied him, undertaking a four to seven-day shoot.

These photographers operated within the limits Lynch set. Without his consent, no one could affect him.

Lynch’s main work involved handling so projects for the investnt company. Anna was responsible for project approvals there, finally gaining so real work experience.

No one let her off easy simply because she was Mr. Pato’s daughter. She faced various issues and adversities, making tasks that appeared simple quite challenging, despite Future Light Investnt Company being as malleable as clay in Lynch’s hands.

He could shape it any way he wanted. But in Anna’s hands, it beca a prickly sphere full of stakeholders and representatives who didn’t grant her any favors, complicating seemingly straightforward work.

"These are the projects I’ve selected over ti, suitable for investnt according to and the board..."

Lynch casually glanced over them, then seriously discussed the feasibility and returns of these projects with Anna, surprising her.

Lynch rarely worked so earnestly. Typically, he’d give her a few keywords and leave, yet now he discussed things carefully like teaching her step-by-step.

This was novel and sowhat surprising, which perhaps related to the photographer constantly filming.

Later, the pair visited an incubation facility outside the city.

The current society didn’t lack unemployed individuals waiting for work. A simple project quickly started after obtaining City Hall’s approval.

The vast construction site combined with the roar of machinery evoked a hard-to-describe ambition. The mayor of Bupen recomnded the construction company in charge.

Rumor had it that the company’s owner and the mayor shared distant family ties.

Of course, these recomndations were all reasonable, legal, fair, and just. You couldn’t avoid soone just because the mayor was friendly with a business owner.

That would be illogical.

Noticing Lynch’s arrival, the site overseer promptly reported to the construction company owner, who, within twenty minutes, personally drove over.

"Mr. Lynch, if possible, please call next ti before visiting, okay?" The construction company’s owner, in his thirties, smiled ruefully.

Observing his hurried deanor, Lynch chuckled, "I just wanted to see if anyone’s squandering my money!"

After shaking hands, Lynch introduced the capturing photographer, and the owner agreed to the shoot.

"Tell about the construction progress here. The company already signed several enterprises that need factories or office bases. We need this site."

The construction company’s owner seed well-prepared, "The project should be completed by latest September. The construction difficulty is not high, so no technical hurdles exist."

"We’ll allocate more manpower to aim for completion and review around mid-August, with the official handover on September 1st..."
