    It’s not okay for her to always cram into the same space with Isla Astir.


    Eva Webster, as a person, isn’t comfortable sharing a bed with others; so, every time she visits, Isla Astir could only sleep on that ninety-centimeter wide single bed.


    Although William Astir wasn’t much of a talker,


    he noticed everything and felt the pain inside; he couldn’t bear to see his beloved daughter curled up on a single bed.


    Olivia Armstrong shook her head, “I don’t know.”


    Though Olivia Armstrong didn’t explicitly say it, she also felt that Eva Webster wasn’t as likeable as Christina Armstrong.


    Christina was more polite.


    Apparently, high education doesn’t necessarily equate to high quality.


    William Astir didn’t say much more, and then he said, “I’m off to play cards.”


    Originally, William Astir had found a janitorial job in the district, but Isla Astir stopped him, so now his daily activities were playing cards and walking.


    “Go ahead,” Olivia nodded, “just make sure to come back early for dinner.”


    After a few steps, William Astir seemed to remember something, turned back to Olivia with some hesitation, and said, “Isla’s mom, I, I want to discuss something with you.”


    “What is it?” Olivia narrowed her eyes.


    William Astir continued, “You see, the old Legend Clan’s dog just had puppies, and I was thinking maybe we could take one home to raise?”


    It would be nice to walk a dog every day.


    “No!” Olivia flatly refused, “Do you know how much trouble it is to keep a dog? We’re in the city, not the village, where dogs can run around freely! City dogs need to be vaccinated, dewormed, and even bathed. I’m already fed up taking care of you every day! Now you want me to take care of a dog too?”


    The smile vanished instantly from William Astir’s face, “Alright then.”


    Although he really wanted a dog, if his wife wouldn’t allow it, he could only dream about it.


    After a pause, William Astir added, “Isla’s mom, if I take care of the dog myself and don’t trouble you, would that be okay?”


    “No!” Olivia was not fond of cats and dogs; she found them bothersome.


    William Astir didn’t bring up the dog idea again and instead said, “Then I’ll go play cards.”


    Olivia nodded.


    —


    Cloud Group.


    Top-level conference room.


    Isla Astir sat at the conference table, admiring the man presenting at the front.


    In his early thirties, successful in his career.


    Wealthy, handsome, from a distinguished family.


    No wonder he became one of Capital City’s most sought-after bachelors.


    Just then, Mandel Thompson looked towards a high-ranking official at the table, “CEO Cooper, what do you think about this project?”


    CEO Cooper said, “Miss Astir’s works are indeed very suitable for transforming online games. However, they have limited scope since she is a manga artist for women, and her main audience is naturally female, but according to big data statistics, women make up less than one third of online game players per year.


    Pausing there, CEO Cooper tried to be tactful, “If our developed online games target only women, then it defeats the original purpose of online games. So, I think Miss Astir’s works are still lacking something!”


    Most importantly, it would be unprofitable.


    The most important aim in developing online games is to make money, but if the comics themselves aren’t suitable for adaptation, then it’s not just about losing money!


    It could also harm the company’s reputation!


    In CEO Cooper’s view, his nephew’s comics are better suited for a transformation.


    Isla Astir was still a girl after all.


    A girl who only has those tacky tales of love and romance at the bottom of her heart.


    Or stories of dominating CEOs and Cinderellas.

    CEO Cooper couldn’t stand these kinds of female-targeted manga artists.


    They were too idealistic, with too narrow a scope. These works could only explode in popularity temporarily but could never become eternal classics.


    On the other hand,


    Male-targeted manga artists were different!


    CEO Cooper’s nephew was also a manga artist, his works lacked any of those romance elements; he portrayed an entirely different style.


    Having said that, CEO Cooper looked at Isla Astir with an apologetic expression, “I’m really sorry, Miss Astir; I am just straightforward. Your works have no issues, but if we adapt them into online games, it’s more appropriate to go with some top male comic artists. Like the currently very popular comic ‘The Secret of S.''”


    Upon hearing this, the previously silent Isla Astir said flatly, “CEO Cooper might not have read my comics. Although I am a female manga author, my creations are not entirely about romance; they also include magical adventures, growth journeys, as well as spirited enthusiasm and national righteousness.”
