Chapter 226 A Surprise Announcement
One hour later.
Anastasia sat in her car, watching Lamia and the bald man come out of the hotel. They seemed affectionate with each other. But soon they separated, going their separate ways as if they didn’t know each other.

She blinked, curved her lips, and slowly started the car before driving away.
The next day.
Anastasia received an invitation to a banquet from Kimberly.
She was puzzled but attended as planned.
Many people were present at this small private dinner.
Anastasia had a hunch that the collaboration would be announced during the banquet. She greeted others with a calm demeanor.
Kimberly was saying something. Seeing Anastasia approaching, she came over to greet Anastasia. "Ms. Graves, perfect timing. | have good news to share with you," Kimberly said. Anastasia raised an eyebrow and smiled back, saying, "Please, go ahead, Miss Samuel."
Kimberly glanced around at the guests and began speaking directly, "The contract for our collaboration is ready, and we can sign it tonight. But..."
She paused and smiled at Anastasia. "There's also a pleasant surprise.” Anastasia was puzzled.
Kimberly turned her head and quickly, a tall figure approached, exuding a cool and chilly aura. He was as stern and composed as always.
“Mr. Patterson has proposed an even better idea for this project, which | find quite impressive. How about the three of us collaborate? We can definitely make this project even better."
Anastasia glanced at Christian, hiding her inner displeasure. This unexpected development caught her off guard. She hadn't heard any rumors or hints beforehand. She looked at Kimberly without saying a word.
Understanding her silence, Kimberly stepped forward, smiling as she said, "Don't rush. Take a look at the contract first before making a decision."
She led Anastasia to the rest area and sat beside her. Christian also followed them and sat across from Anastasia, his eyes fixed on her with a warm and gentle gaze. Anastasia ignored his gaze and focused on reading the contract.
With Patterson Group joining, not only did they bring substantial capital, but Starlight Entertainment's stake in the project wasn't diluted. It became the biggest winner.
Christian and Kimberly had relatively equal shares, with Patterson Group still having the majority in terms of capital structure. According to the contract, it was evident that all three parties would benefit, and she had no reason to refuse.
For the overall project, this collaboration would elevate their strength and financial security.
Sipping her coffee, Kimberly calmly waited for Anastasia's decision.
Anastasia wouldn't let go of the money, and her initial displeasure faded away. She put down the contract, smiled, and spoke, "Indeed, Mr. Patterson is generous."
However, the cost may be several times higher than anticipated.
If Patterson Group had initially taken over the project, he wouldn't have needed to invest as much money. Now, he could only accept his misfortune.
Christian remained calm and gentle, raising his eyes to glance at her.
