Unbelievingly, she looked at Asher, and he gave a very difficult look.

“Pinonua Louie?” Even though Baron Burboom gave him to introduce himself, he didn’t say anything about and Burboom asked, wondering. Then Asher, who hesitated, smiled and began to introduce himself.

“It’s Pinonua… Louie. It’s an honor to be here with the support of Investor A.”

Aria frowned her forehead before his introduction was finished.

‘Pinonua Louie… not Asher?’

Apparently, Pinonua Louie was the one who she made the investment this time. But she never dreamed it would be Asher. The name he had given her was different in the first place.

Clapping with everyone, he sat in the corner of the conference room. He had always been so confident, but he couldn’t see her eyes now, and it made her angry.

‘What is his real name? Did he deceive his name from the beginning, or did he deceive his name now?’ She was annoyed that he had lied about his name anyway.

‘… You’ve even attached a human being to me.’

He had even gone so far as to test her. She felt tight and looked askance at Asher, and the Baroness Clean lift her hand and raised her voice.

“There’s a new one here, too! Lady, can you introduce yourself?”

Aria felt pain and confusion from the open-mouthed Baron Burboom. He had been hiding Aria’s identity so far, but he was agonizing over whether it would be revealed like this. Aria, who took off her gaze at Asher, rose from her seat with a gentle smile, as if she had not had a disapproving face.

“I’m Roscent Aria. I didn’t have any investment from Investor A, but I took the liberty of attending because there were some of you who would like to take on the future of the empire.”

When they heard Aria from the Count Roscent family, there was a stir in the conference room. It was because she was an unexpected person, let alone the rumor about her.

Baron Burboom rolled about in the stirred crowd. She didn’t say she was Investor A, so he seemed at a loss of how to explain it. It was Mrs. Clean and other wives who calmed it down.

“I visited the Count Roscent family last time. Lady Aria firmly opposed that wives should be supportive of her husband at home. She said that if we have the ability, we should use it. And we were all in sympathy and moved.”

She didn’t say who did, but everyone here knew who the subject was because it was a known fact that they had been contacted by Lady Mielle. Everyone was happy to confide in the fact.

They had hoped that the friendly and benevolent lady Mielle would be of some help by paying attention to the meeting. However, it wasn’t the result. On the contrary, Mielle wanted to get help from themselves.

“Of course, internal help is important. Maybe it’s more important to support my family. But I don’t even say I want to, and I think forcing it is like taking away women’s options. It’s not easy for the aristocratic lady to think, but she respected us.”

It didn’t matter much that she was from the common people here since there were a lot of commoners who thought like Mielle. The businessmen gathered at his wife’s explanation were outraged.

“There was still someone who had such an old-fashioned idea!”

“It’s so frustrating. There are a lot of women who are capable of.”
