Sophia's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with questions and concerns. She couldn't believe her father had borrowed money from Ryder, of all people."Ryder is not a good man, Dad," Sophia said, trying to keep her voice steady. What makes you think he's doing this out of the goodness of his heart?"Her father looked down, shamefaced. "Sophia, I was desperate. I didn't know what else to do, I can’t watch you end up with that man because of my failures.”Sophia took a deep breath, trying to calm down. She needed to think clearly and figure out what to do next."Okay, Dad. We'll deal with this. But you need to tell me everything. How much money did you borrow? And what did Ryder say exactly?" Sophia asked, her eyes locked on her father's.Her father hesitated, then began to explain. "I borrowed $50,000. Ryder said I could pay it back whenever I could afford to, since I insisted on refunding him but..."Sophia's eyes widened as her father trailed off. "But what, Dad?" she pressed.Her father

Alex's voice was triumphant as he spoke to Marcus over the phone. "Marcus, I've got some good news. I've reviewed the contract, and it's not valid." Marcus's heart leapt with relief.
