Chapter 1852: Dream Partner

Lucian was curious about Elektra's meeting with Roxanne but knew she would tell him later. After brewing some premium coffee he'd received as a gift, he took the children upstairs for a chess game. Archie and Benny were improving rapidly, demanding his full attention. Meanwhile, Estella resumed work on her designs.

“Can I start a company, Daddy?” Estella asked suddenly. “I want to bring my children's apparel designs to life and see if people like them.”

Lucian readily agreed. Starting a company was a minor undertaking. Overjoyed, Estella returned to her work. Only after the chess game did Lucian realize his promise: a children's apparel company! It was a sound investment, and his daughter deserved the chance.

He dismissed the boys and called Cayden to begin the company registration process the next day. “Think carefully, Essie. What name would you like?”

Estella pondered, even enlisting her brothers’ help, but remained unsatisfied. She decided to take a few days to consider it further.

Downstairs, Elektra learned during casual conversation that Roxanne had taken her wedding photographs that day. Elektra felt a pang of jealousy, but concealed it, showering Roxanne with compliments.

Roxanne, sensing Elektra's hesitation, wondered what she needed. Money? Help with a patient?

“I’ve been back in the country for a while, Roxanne, looking for an investment opportunity. I finally had a breakthrough last night, which is why I came to see you so early.”

“Investment? How does this involve me?” Roxanne was puzzled. Wouldn't this be better discussed with Lucian? Farwell Group possessed immense wealth, resources, and connections—the ideal partner for any entrepreneur.

“Precisely. This is an opportunity uniquely suited for you.” Elektra's eyes shone. Christina's suggestion was an excellent investment, even without concrete plans.

Roxanne remained skeptical. Elektra elaborated, “Your research institute uses cutting-edge R&D. Have you considered adapting your pharmaceuticals to produce cosmeceuticals? The domestic market is underserved, dominated by foreign luxury brands. This is a massive opportunity. Let's partner, you handle R&D, I'll handle the rest. It won't interfere with your research.”

Elektra's excitement was evident. Success could even surpass her family's business. Roxanne, after considering Elektra's proposal, began to seriously contemplate the idea.
