A Love Forgotten (Arianna and Elijah)

Chapter 205

I was caught off guard by the whole conversation. After a moment, Flaughed unconfortably, saying "I know. I reallor this is a lot, but, honestly, what else can I do?

On the other end. Teri fell silent for a while before finally trienting "Whigha 1ptit. The kid's not toobadanyway, but Azlana, you really don't owe the Linden family anything more, okay?"

I nodded quickly, "Bebeve me, I know. This is the last thing I'm doing for them"

Satisfied with my answer, Teri asked, "By the way, Silverwood is having its second annual band showcase tomorrow, and the denizer asked for your contact info. They said they tried calling but couldn't get through Tasked, "What's this brand showcase about?".

"Oh, right. You lost your memory." Terisad, almost as it she'd forgotten

"A few years back, you invested in a small startup brand, and it's done really well. They've asked you every year to attend these shows since you've been their top sponsor. I remember you pay the sponsorship tee every year." I had absolutely no memory of this, but Teri spoke with such detail that it sparked a thought.

Tasked, "Did I sponsor them under the name of Linden Group?"

Teri thought for a moment. "Probably. Back then, you wanted to make a name for Elijah, so you sponsored all kinds of random things

"Honestly, a lot of people mocked you for being so eager to make an impact. Your investments and sponsorships were often seen as impulsive. I wasn't too optimistic about it myself. time either.

"However, the brand silverwood has actually been doing really well. You probably have some equity in it. And there are a few other brands I need to think about and look up.

"Check your old posts on Instagram or do a quick search online, because, hey, the internet members everything"

A spark went off in my mind. "So, are you saying I might actually have shares in quite a few brands?

Teri, reminded by my question, replied quickly, "Yes, definitely! You should go to the showcase and see if you can pick up any insights. You might uncover all kinds of info on brands you invested in She got excited. "Denim styles have been all the rage these past few years, and silverwood has been killing it. If you sponsored them early on, you must have some kind of partnership with them

"Wow, Ari, I've gotta say, sometimes luck follows you in the strangest ways. If you have a contract with Silverwood, you might be in for a windfall!"

Feeling energized by Tori's words, I quickly looked up the brand online.

Sure enough, I saw that Silverwood's sales had exceeded 10 million over the last three years. en after labor and operational costs, it had earned hundreds of thousands in petit each year Silverwood had also moved forward with a successful livestream marketing strategy

I rushed to sift through the pile of documents I'd brought over from Elijah's villa. And there it was-the partnership agreement with Silverwood, followed by another contract, and another.. I paced around the room in excitement, my head spinning This cursed amnesta-how pruch would actually have to my name if my memory returned?

For a fleeting moment, the past seven messy, embarrassing years felt like they'd been worth it.

Two days later, Silverwood's brand showcase began

Teri and I dressed in carefully chosen outfits. To match the theme of the show, I picked a fresh, light-wash denim jacket with subtle embroidery and paired it with a soft, tvory pleated skirt. I wore the emerald bracelet my grandmother left me on my wrist, and around my neck was a pearl necklace with a touch of jade. My hair was styled in a sleek, classic updo.

The whole look was simple and elegant, almost like a portrait from a vintage painting Teri wore something similar, but she went with a modern, tailored denim dress.

As soon as we arrived at the venue, a brand representative came to greet us. Her name was Dixie Camacho, She lit up when she saw us. "Ms. Linden, Ms. Stuart! You've finally here!"

She looked me over, visibly impressed.

"Mrs. Linden, you look stunning today. I didn't expect denim to suit you so perfectly. We'd always thought..she abruptly stopped herself mid-sentence.

I could guess what Dixie was about to say. Back then, I probably piled on whatever was expensive without caring about how it matched or fit the theme.

Realizing her slip, the host quickly changed the subject. "Max Linden, please follow me. We've reserved VIP seats for you.

I suddenly spoke up. "From now on, call me Ms. York, not Mrs. Linden"
