"When did you get back?"
"Arrived on the island this morning."
"Was the journey smooth?"
"With Philippa escorting with so many ships, how could it not be smooth? We even arrived several days ahead of schedule," Shanaela said with a smile.
On the other side, Philippa, who was feeding a parrot, poked her head over and clenched her fist to her chest.
Shanaela continued, "You've heard about the Starflower incident. To save face for the business guild, I'm still the chairman on paper, but I no longer have real authority. After some time, even this title will be taken away under some pretext."
"No worries, our family has a big business. Even if you do nothing, I'll still support you," Wu Heng said.
The maids' eyes widened, watching like an audience, all turning to look at Shanaela.
The latter's cheeks flushed, and she glared at Wu Heng, "I can't just idle at home every day."
"Gold and Silver Island is so big, there's no way you can't find something to do," Wu Heng said.
