Langdon Seal paused, "Ariel, life is still long. You love him deeply, but it doesn’t an he will always treat you the sa. If you’re happy, I’ll quietly watch without interfering. If you’re not happy, I’ll take you away. I just want to tell you that as long as you look back, I will always be behind you, and you can see when you turn around. This promise, Ariel, rember it in your heart, it counts for a lifeti."
Langdon’s words were sincere and moving, and Ariel Morris’s heart was indeed shaken. She gently murmured, "No matter how the world changes, Brother Langdon will always be my good friend and my benefactor. I will rember this sentint for a lifeti!"
Langdon Seal smiled, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, but his face pretended to be indifferent, "I would prefer you turn this gratitude into a fair chance for to compete."
Ariel Morris stood in place, awkwardly smiled.

By the ti Ariel Morris took a cab back to Royal View City, it was already past ten at night. As soon as she stepped through the door, she saw the aloof figure standing on the second-floor balcony.
"Arlo, what are you doing standing there?" Ariel Morris stopped in her tracks, shouting toward the figure on the second-floor balcony.
Arlo Seys looked at her, hiding the loneliness in his eyes, and gave a faint smile, "I’m waiting for you to co ho."
The word ’ho’ felt like a gentle breeze brushing past Ariel Morris’s heart, warm and comforting. She flashed Arlo Seys a brilliant smile from below and then dashed upstairs.
She ran straight to the balcony as soon as she entered Arlo Seys’s room.
Ariel Morris walked over and hugged Arlo Seys, her voice gentle, "Arlo, have you eaten yet?"
Arlo Seys kissed the fragrance of her hair and shook his head lightly, "Not yet. I was waiting for you to co back and eat together."
Ariel Morris suddenly felt a pang of sadness. He was waiting at ho for her while she was out having dinner with friends. The thought of this struck Ariel Morris with guilt. She wrapped her arms around Arlo Seys’s waist and teased, "Why are you so silly? What if I stayed out all night with friends, would you stand on the balcony waiting for all night?"
Without even thinking, Arlo Seys replied, "I would wait until you co back."
Ariel Morris tightened her grip around him, her eyes misting over, and her voice slightly hoarse, "Then those eight years I was in Dublin, how did you sleep?"
Arlo Seys held her close, replying gently, "You were in Dublin for eight years. If I said I didn’t get a good night’s sleep many tis, would you believe ? The Seys Family is a political family; my parents and family all wanted to enter politics, but I chose business. I am the only heir of the Seys Family. Do you know what it ans for a political family to give up politics and venture into business?"
"So, I can’t lose in establishing Era. If I lost, the entire Seys Family couldn’t hold their heads high in City C."
"I have to work tirelessly to build my own business empire. When one day my family steps down from the political stage, I can be their pillar."
"If the Seys Family declines, who knows how many will watch and jeer. The Seys Family is currently courted by everyone, but on the day we fall from the top, it would be utterly devastating, leaving us open to slander and tear us apart."
"Since I started Era, I haven’t dared to slack off even a step. The future of the entire Seys Family rests on my shoulders."
Listening to this, Ariel Morris felt a twinge of sadness in her nose. Others only saw the fortunate side of Arlo Seys, this pride of heaven, but who saw the heavy burden on his shoulders? Bearing the Seys Family’s na, no matter how well he did, people would still say, ’What’s so great about it? Isn’t he just relying on his family’s support!’ Just the thought of these rumors made Ariel’s heart ache for him.
"Arlo, why abandon politics for business? Given that the Seys Family is a political family, wouldn’t entering politics be better for you?"
