There's no such formality between a father and daughter.
Forget it, the lack of a nurturing environnt during her childhood must have affected her emotionally.
"Alright, if you want to join, you can go ahead."
Jovana's eyes lit up, her lips curving happily.
Clara's lips also curled up in a smile, and she casually added, "Though our little Jovana has the family backing her, the entertainnt industry is not an easy field. Without so support, anyone might dare to bully her.
Old Shaw, back when Aurelia entered the entertainnt industry, you gave her 2% of your entertainnt shares. Now that Jovana is also entering the sa field and both are your children, you can't be biased, right?"
Balthazar glanced at Jovana.
Back then, when Aurelia signed with Prestige Entertainnt, to prevent her from being bullied, he bought 2% of Prestige Entertainnt's shares under her na.
Jovana is inherently sensitive. If he disagreed now, she would surely overthink it.
"Okay." Balthazar said, "I will instruct the secretary to handle it. Any specific requirents, you can inform the secretary later."
"Thank you, Dad." Jovana's smile was bright with joy.

In the evening, Aurelia returned to the Nightshade Residence.
She opened the computer in the study and sent a ssage to Hadrian's email.
"Help investigate my heritage."
She was quite concerned about the matter that Clara and the others ntioned yesterday.
If it wasn't true, they wouldn't dare say such things publicly. If it turned out to be false, their reputations would be ruined.
Although Clara and the others liked to throw dirt on her, they likely wouldn't have the nerve to lie about sothing this significant.
But could it be true that she's not her father's biological daughter?
Could it be... sothing happened before her mother married her father?
She had to find out the truth.
Not just that, she felt she was forgetting sothing important, but couldn't quite grasp it.
Hadrian replied quickly, seemingly not understanding her statent, "?"
Does Aurelia need to investigate her own heritage?
But doesn't she know who she is?
"I suspect I might not be a daughter of the Shaw family. I don't have the experience to investigate this, so I'm entrusting you to help investigate," Aurelia replied.
"Aurelia, don't be formal with . Rest assured, I'll definitely help you uncover the truth!" Hadrian promised confidently from the other side.
"Thank you."
Looking at the three-word reply on his computer, Hadrian blushed slightly, gathering his spirit, and quickly got to work.
...
The study door clicked open.
Mason walked in to see Aurelia sitting in a chair, hugging her legs, curled into a ball, seeking a sense of safety in such a posture.
"What are you thinking?" He stood beside her, ruffling her hair gently.
Aurelia looked up at him, "Mason, what if... I'm not my dad's biological daughter?"
Wouldn't her years of resentnt suddenly beco baseless?
Balthazar wronged her mother, but if her mother was pregnant with her before marrying him, and there wasn't any true affection between them, did she even have the right to resent Balthazar for his affair and allowing Clara to enter their lives?
Suddenly, she felt a sense of powerlessness.
Initially, she had thought she had a place to belong, but at this mont, it felt like she didn't even have a refuge of her own.
Mason glanced at the computer, his brow furrowing slightly.
