“Alright.” Vera tied her apron and started to cook, reminding Ramon, “Don’t cry if you end up overfeeding yourself.” 

Ramon snorted, “With my charm, Fl be the focus of the attention wherever I go.” 

Vera nodded. “Yes, getting fat would indeed be attracting undue attention.” 

Ramon looked somewhat disheartened. “Can you be nice?” 

Vera, slicing potatoes, replied, “I’ve always been nice and enjoying our conversation.” The only one not enjoying it was Ramon 

Ramon felt speechless at her words. 

Neil, upon hearing this, covered his mouth and burst into laughter. 

He had moved his drawing board and art supplies to the kitchen. Wherever V 

Vera was, he would be with her. 

“Mr. Ford, you have a guest” Since Ramon had given an early heads–up, the servant brought the visitor directly to him. 

Vera recognized the person. He used to work for her brother and later was employed by Ramon. That man was capable and 

reliable 

After nodding at Ramon and Vera, the person left before putting down something. 

Vera noticed that he had brought a phone identical to Averie’s, which cost 30 thousand dollars. She didn’t believe Ramon was so kind as to give Averie a new phone. 

Sure enough, Ramon pulled out Averie’s damaged phone when there was no one in the kitchen. 

“How did it end up in your hands?” Vera inquired. 

Ramon raised an eyebrow and said, “When all your attention was on Neil, 1 quietly kicked the phone… 

He kicked it under the table, then retrieved it when no one was around. 

He had noticed that Averie had more than one phone in her bag and when they left, the other phone in her bag rang. 

The caller seemed quite angry, and it sounded like someone from the film crew urging her to return to set. 

Averie was currently shooting a big–budget movie directed by a famous director, and the main cast had joined with award- winning aspirations. Averie, a star with a significant following, had secured a role as the second female lead with considerable effort. 

She frequently took leave, arrived late, and left early. It was natural for the producers to be upset. Hearing the urgent call. Averie had to leave, and she wouldn’t have time to look for her phone. 

“What are you planning to do with it?” Vera asked. 

“Make the most of it, of course, Ramon said, and like dissecting a body, he swiftly disassembled the damaged phone. 

He then used tools brought by his subordinates to back up the phone’s data onto a new chip. 

After inserting the chip into his newly laught phone, he asked Neil to hit it again with the same force as in the morning. 

Ramon replaced it in secret and sneaked back to the dining room. He tossed the new phone he had bought under the table. When the servants found the phone, they would find an opportunity to return it to Averie. Even if they didn’t, Averie would

After all, it was so expensive. 

to buy “Can’t Avene afford to

one?” Vera asked, not to mock Ramon but out of concern that his 

efforts might be in vain. 

“The Powell Group has long been unsustainable, especially in recent years with mounting delats. It relies heavily on Averie’s income. As a top–tier star, she barely kept up appearances. Ramón sipped his coffee. 

“So, Averie is a “filial daughter in this sense? Vera mocked. 

“She earns money to support the Powell family, all to be on equal footing with Carlos‘ social standing If the Powell family fell, Averie’s status as a wealthy heiress would be gone. 

Ramon wasn’t interested in talking about Averie. Everything she wore and used was high–quality imitations, with not a single luxury item being genuine. 

If it weren’t for the fact that phones couldn’t be imitated, she would have bought a fake one to keep up appearances.
