For the elderly woman who had shown him some kindness when he was young, Julian still showed rare patience. He softened his voice and said, “Mrs. Palmer, if you need anything, feel free to ask. I’ll help in any way I can.”
Layla hesitated for a moment before she slowly spoke, “It’s like this. You know Mr. Palmer’s company in Avaloria is in pharmaceuticals, and Roseanne’s major in Avaloria is also related to pharmaceuticals.
“This time, she passed the application for further studies at Hawthorne University and got into the School of Pharmacy. I was wondering if you could let her intern at Apex Biotech for a while.”
She paused, then emphasized to Julian. “I won’t let her touch any confidential data, I promise. I just want to know if you could offer her an internship opportunity.”
After hearing Layla’s request, Julian finally understood why she looked so hesitant.
Layla wasn’t like Theo, who liked to take advantage of people and use favors for his own gain. That was why she found it hard to bring up this

She even swore to Julian, saying, “I promise I won’t touch your core research data. I just want to go and learn for a bit.”
Layla came this time because Roseanne had been pestering her.
Since the Palmer Group was taken over by Nick, Theo harbored resentment towards them, and with the old man gone, Layla had become a target for him.
She understood Theo’s ambitions, so giving the family business to the second son seemed like the best choice. Otherwise, the company would be ruined under the eldest son’s management,
But at the end of the day, Theo was still her son, and as a mother, she still had feelings for him.
Now, with her granddaughter asking her to approach Julian for an internship at Apex Biotech, it wasn’t an unreasonable request. However, she still didn’t want to bring up this favor based on the little kindness Julian had shown her when she was younger.
So, even though she had made the request, she still felt embarrassed. “Julian, if you don’t want to, it’s okay. I have been too forward.”
Roseanne panicked when she heard Layla say that.
She felt Layla was biased, favoring her second uncle and cousin, which she accepted. But internship, and yet Layla was hesitant, afraid it would harm her relationship with him.

She thought, ‘Does her granddaughter’s future happiness mean less than her relationship with Julian? Why does she have to make it so difficult just. to ask for this favor?‘
Roseanne silently cursed Layla in her mind but dared not complain in front of Julian. She just looked at her with an anxious expression.
