After leaving the restaurant, Sophie excused herself to retrieve her car parked near the police station, bidding Austin a quick goodbye.Sitting in the passenger seat, Jeanna patted her full stomach. "Can you drop me off at a hotel nearby? Oh no! Where's my luggage?"Damn! It must be back at that scumbag's bar. What do I do? My passport and ID are in there.""Why not stay at my place for now?" Sophie focused on driving, planning to retrieve Jeanna's luggage later without crossing paths with Sean."Stay with you? Wouldn't Cedric go crazy?" Jeanna asked with a playful raise of her eyebrows, oblivious to the real situation.Sophie chose not to elaborate and drove into the Bohemian Apartment complex.Arriving at the apartment, Jeanna looked around with a hint of surprise on her face. "You and Cedric live here? I was expecting a luxurious villa. Who would have thought that Cedric prefers simplicity."Sophie, not wanting to be misunderstood but reluctant to explain, handed her comfort

Jeff seethed with anger, the intensity of his emotions threatening to shatter the very floor beneath him. He had humbled himself for a month, pleading with Sophie in the hope that Cedric would seize the opportunity to win her back.However, Cedric's reckless involvement with Vivienne and her child felt like a deliberate affront to Jeff's wishes."Dad, remember that child is your great-grandson. You've longed for Cedric to have a child to cheer you up, and now that he's here, you should be happy," Melissa interjected, attempting to protect her son and acknowledge the child, further fueling Jeff's fury."My great-grandson can only come from Soph!" Jeff declared fiercely. "Cedric, sever ties with that woman now. I'll pay whatever it takes!"For once, Jeff was willing to use his wealth to erase the problem."I can't agree to that, Grandfather," Cedric retorted, his expression cold. He briefly glanced at Sophie, who had silently entered the room. "I'm not paying them to leave."Sophie

"What's left to say? She has already taken three years of my life. Do you want her to waste my entire life?" Cedric's casual tone tightened Sophie's lips, her eyes struggling to hold back tears that threatened to spill."Just endure for ten more days. I wish you happiness. Grandpa, I have things to attend to. I'll be leaving now." Sophie turned and left swiftly, just before her tears could fall, feeling something cold hit the back of her hand."You brat!" Seeing Sophie's departure, Jeff furiously swung his cane at Cedric and hit him on the thigh. "Cedric, one day you'll regret this!""Dad, it's Sophie who's determined to divorce. Why are you hitting Cedric? If she wants to divorce, let her!" Melissa was protective of her son, intent on keeping the Carlson family shares away from Sophie."I'll hit this boy however I want!" Jeff retorted fiercely, his cane raised for another strike.Cedric stood immovable, his expression stone-cold. He knew Sophie sought freedom, and if regret came,

Cedric's Rolls-Royce glided to a slow, contemplative halt outside his grand villa. Remaining seated, engine off, he gazed at the stately building with no desire to enter.He rolled down his window, absentmindedly lit a cigarette, and let it slowly burn to ash, never once touching his lips.As darkness enveloped the villa and lights flickered off, he finally stirred and exited the car. Cedric gently pushed the door open and saw the dim light of the living room where Vivienne sat silently on the couch, her demeanor that of a patient lover awaiting her partner's return. At the sound of his arrival, she got up. "I thought you might spend the night outside."Cedric paused, looking up at the closed door upstairs. "Is Ricky asleep?""He couldn't stay awake. He murmured before falling asleep, telling him when you're back."Cedric, am I making things difficult for you? I've already called those news agencies to clarify the misunderstanding and asked them to retract all related reports. I

'Gone?' The word echoed in Jeanna's mind as she slowly grasped the depth of Sophie's loss. Witnessing the raw pain in Sophie's eyes, she immediately squatted beside her. "Sophie, don't cry. I'm right here with you."She wrapped her arms around Sophie, bewildered by the cruel fate that had befallen such kind-hearted people—her parents and Hailey.After a night of tears, Sophie's eyes were swollen the next day, and Jeanna was not much better off. A fierce resolve shone in Jeanna's eyes despite the swelling and dark circles."That bastard, that son of a bitch! Cedric is such a jerk!" Jeanna raged, recalling the last time she saw Cedric. He was blissfully wedded to Sophie, and she had assumed it was the start of a prince and princess' happy ever after. Little did she know that something far less noble lurked behind his princely facade.Sophie freshened up, splashing her face with cold water. She dried off and carefully applied makeup to conceal the signs of her emotional night, offerin

"Is it really that challenging? I guess I should brace myself for a battle then," Jeanna quipped, rubbing her hands together in mock readiness.Sophie tried to suppress her laughter, grateful for Jeanna's company during her darkest days.Tiffany stepped out from her office, eyeing Jeanna with a scrutinizing gaze that softened into a smile of approval. "Who do we have here, Ms. Luxford?""Wow! I finally meet my role model! Hello, Ms. Tiffany, you're so beautiful! I'm Jeanna, the new designer here. Just call me Jean." Jeanna gushed, her enthusiasm evident.Sophie watched, dumbfounded, as her best friend lavished Tiffany with compliments to win her favor. Was this Jeanna's idea of a 'battle'?"Jean, you're such a sweet talker. There's no mistake that you're definitely Ms. Luxford's friend. Don't worry. I'll take good care of you," Tiffany beamed, her vanity appeased. She almost forgot why she had stepped out in the first place. "I need to go to the workshop to make a sample. We'll ca

Sophie's demeanor shifted from a faint smile to a solemn expression. "Linda, could you please have the finance team assess if Luxford Group can sustain itself independently of the Carlsons?"Linda was taken aback. "Ms. Luxford, why this sudden need for independence from the Carlsons?""Because we are different and must pave our own path," Sophie replied firmly.She was determined to ensure Luxford Group's autonomy, especially in light of her impending divorce from Cedric."I understand. I'll notify the finance team right away to get you the data you need," Linda replied. Though surprised, she knew Sophie must have faced a tough decision to consider detaching from Carlson Group.After Linda departed, Sophie sank into her chair, weighed down by exhaustion. The one-month arrangement with Cedric was nearing its end, heralding their final separation.-In the Carlson Group office, Cedric sat pensively, toying with a strand of hair.

Dr. Snypes accepted the bag and immediately understood the situation. He recalled the recent news that had caused a stir a couple of days ago before suddenly vanishing."No problem, I'll expedite the test and notify you when it's completed.""Thank you, and please keep this matter confidential," Evander said gratefully."Don't worry," Dr. Snypes reassured him.Evander nodded with a smile.Formerly the Chief Surgeon in the Department of Surgery, Dr. Snypes was transferred to the DNA Test Center due to a hand injury sustained in a car accident. He had a long-standing acquaintance with Cedric, which made Evander confident in his discretion regarding this matter.After politely seeing Evander off, Dr. Snypes used tweezers to extract the strand of hair from the bag.
