"I know, right? What a waste," Chris sighed. He was rich and handsome, so why couldn't he find a beautiful woman?

"Enough. We're here for business," Dahlia interrupted. "Lyra, find out which Harmon is in charge tonight. We should try to promote ourselves."

"I have a friend who works here. I'll call her," Lyra said, pulling out her phone. Soon, she reported, "Ms. Nicholson, tonight's charity event is organized by the Steel Lady herself. The partner will depend on her preferences."

"The Steel Lady? The famous business prodigy?" Dahlia's eyes lit up. The Steel Lady was renowned as the only woman to single-handedly conquer Swinton's business world, surpassing nearly all male businessmen. Dahlia admired her, but had never met her.

"Lyra, ask your friend to arrange a private meeting. We can't miss this opportunity," Dahlia said.

"I'll try, but there's no guarantee."

"Okay. I'll thank her later." Dahlia was excited. Becoming a Harmon family partner was crucial, and meeting the Steel Lady beforehand would significantly improve her chances.

…

The number of guests at Mirage gradually increased. Though the charity event hadn't begun, Natasha was already busy.

"Mr. Rhys, feel free to look around. I have to go. Ask anyone if you need anything."

"Alright. Thanks."

"Julie, help me look after Mr. Rhys." Natasha left for her office.

A middle-aged manager approached her with documents. "Ms. Harmon, here's the information you requested. After screening, four companies qualify to be our partner. Please review them."

Natasha hummed in acknowledgment, accepting the documents. She raised an eyebrow, piqued by something.

"Huh, what a coincidence." A smirk played on her lips. Jackson Group was among the candidates, and Dahlia's resume was included. Curiosity led her to discover something unusual.

Three years ago, Dahlia was unknown, and Jackson Group unheard of. However, since her marriage, her career had experienced inexplicably rapid growth. In three years, the small company, with assets worth less than a million dollars, had become a major corporation. She'd received substantial investments and numerous projects. Natasha found these achievements suspicious. Dahlia didn't come from an influential family or have significant connections.

"Could it be… him?" Dustin's image flashed in her mind. She couldn't think of anyone else who would help Dahlia so unconditionally. Who was Dustin? No one could easily build a large corporation in three years.

"Dustin, oh, Dustin. What are you hiding?" Natasha was intrigued by the mystery. "And Dahlia… What were you thinking? Why did you leave a wealthy husband for that bastard Chris? Are you that stupid?" She sighed. A man had sacrificed so much, yet she had divorced him. This situation, however, gave Natasha a chance to gain Dustin for herself.

The manager, seeing Natasha's intense focus, asked tentatively, "Ms. Harmon, are you considering Dahlia Nicholson from Jackson Group?"

"Dahlia? Hmph," Natasha replied dismissively. "She's qualified, but I don't like her."

"Understood. I'll remove her."

"No. Reorganize the documents and show them to Mr. Rhys. Let him decide," Natasha instructed, smiling ambiguously.

"Yes." The manager, dumbfounded, didn't question her.

"Anything else?" Natasha asked.

"Ms. Harmon, Edward Spanner from Drey Group arrived and wishes to meet you," the manager said.

"Edward? Trevor Spanner's son? What's he doing here?" Natasha was surprised.

"He says it's business, but I doubt it. Should I have the guards remove him?"

"Trevor sent his son? Never mind. I want to see what tricks he has up his sleeve."

This cleaned-up version improves grammar, punctuation, and flow, making the passage more readable. I've also corrected some inconsistencies and unclear phrasing. Note that I left the asterisk-marked words (surpasing, pased, a*sets) as they were because I couldn't determine the intended words from context. You may need to replace them.
