In her office, Niamh leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest.
These past few days, she felt like she'd read until her eyes were about to fall out.
But her indulgence hadn’t been for nothing.
Now, Niamh finally understood why Jonathan had insisted she read Gloom Thorn’s novels when she got out of the car that day.
Niamh opened her eyes.
She held her phone in one hand, while her other reached for a physical book on her desk.
She had deliberately bought the hardcover edition, and the gold-foil letters of “Galactic Echoes” on the cover were particularly striking.
Meanwhile, in Coralis, Ramona made a major move.
She had taken out billions in bank loans to acquire the world's largest mining conglomerate in one fell swoop.
The conglomerate’s three invaluable mining veins now all belonged to The Quinn Group.
With this single action, Ramona sent a clear message to everyone—The Quinn Group's entry into the jewelry industry was no small venture. They were serious.
Niamh was, of course, aware of this news, but she didn’t have much of a reaction. She remained focused on her designs.
Soon after, Ramona announced the official launch of Quinn Jewelry Co., Ltd., with their debut collection being a collaboration with Felix Felix.
Overnight, Quinn Jewelry became the talk of the town.
Combined with Felix Felix’s recent Hugo Award win, the partnership was seen as a union of powerhouses.
A sense of unease began to spread through the NR Studio.
Everyone knew their own company was about to launch a sci-fi-themed collection, which would be in direct competition with Quinn Jewelry.
But their partner was a star of web novels, while The Quinn Group had an actual Hugo Award winner.
