Chapter: 60

Caden smirked. “Then we'll match that amount."

Hank immediately grasped the plan and set to work.

Once they doubled their investment, Joshua responded by increasing his funding again.

The rivalry intensified, with each one striving to surpass the other.

Within a few hours, Lilliana's song soared to the top of various entertainment charts, becoming a sensation overnight.

Lilliana's fan base exploded, and her popularity soared to new heights.

The entire internet buzzed with excitement, eagerly anticipating the release of her song.

The outcome exceeded all of Lilliana's expectations, and she reveled in boasting to Joshua for an extended period.

Joshua sat in his quiet office, showing little enthusiasm.

“By the way, Joshua, has Iris sent you the song yet?" Lilliana inquired. “We only have three days left to report to Gerry. Don't screw this up."

Joshua replied casually, "She mentioned she would deliver it to me tomorrow."

Lilliana dismissed the concern and shifted all the responsibility onto him. "Just keep an eye on it for me."

“Sure.”

Joshua had grown used to Lilliana's carefree demeanor. He was no longer bothered by it.

Lilliana settled on his lap, wrapping her arms around him affectionately. "Thank you, darling. I didn't expect you to invest so much in my song."

In addition to the promotion, various other expenses piled up, reaching astronomical figures.

Joshua let out a soft chuckle.

He decided against revealing his secret rivalry with Caden to Lilliana. Instead, he assured her, "What matters most is your happiness, no matter the cost."

He knew the Green family would ultimately handle the costs.

Lilliana was currently enchanted by him and radiated joy.

"It's still early in the day. Bigail just released a new line of haute couture dresses. Would you join me to pick one out, Joshua?"

Joshua readily agreed with a nod.

As they drove to the boutique, he held Lilliana close, feeling content.

Upon entering the store, something familiar caught his eye.

He stopped abruptly, recognizing Alicia in the crowd.

Gerry brought Alicia along at the last minute to help her choose a dress.

She wasn't familiar with high-profile events and felt unsure of what to pick, so she relied entirely on the store clerk's suggestions.

Eventually, they selected a snow-white mermaid gown, decorated with silver thread, as pure as freshly fallen snow.

The store clerk smiled and said, "Miss Bennett, with your figure, anything would suit you perfectly. This dress is special, though. It's a limited edition, and for the next three months, it's the only one in Warrington. It would look incredible on someone like you."

Alicia felt a little embarrassed by the compliment.
