There was another reason for this—X Corp. symbolized a nightmare shared by her and Cedric. She did not want this nightmare to follow them forever. Only by letting go could they truly escape the past.Therefore, just as he had thought, using X Corp.'s shares to find peace of mind for both of them was necessary.The matter of the shares was settled smoothly, without any public disclosure. Immanuel notarized the documents, but it would not be announced until Tristan turned 18.-In the blink of an eye, the day of Sean and Jeanna's wedding arrived. As a best friend and employer, Sophie naturally had to attend in style.She opened her wardrobe and scanned the array of dresses. There were countless stunning, elegant, and stylish outfits, but she ultimately settled on an unopened gift box.Last year, for Jeff's birthday, Cedric and Austin had each given her a dress. At that time, she had asked Linda to take them away and deal with them but later discovered that Linda had secretly placed

"Darling, don't worry. I'm right here with you, aren't I?" Sean, dressed in a sleek black suit with a retro tailcoat style that gave him an aura of elegance and sophistication, albeit slightly diminished by the foolish grin on his face, looked almost perfect."I don't need you to accompany me." Jeanna blushed and turned her head to the side.'Oh my God! I'm really going to get married soon. Geez, I'm so nervous, more so than the first time I live-streamed, the first time my design hit the market, or the first time I got caught sleeping with Sean and was taken to the precinct.'It felt like her life was about to enter another unknown phase. She felt anxious and wished Sophie could be here to talk to her.Sophie and Cedric appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall, each holding a child. The lively hall instantly went quiet. Even the ever-boasting Neville and Samantha stopped their socializing and walked over with smiles."Cedric, Soph, why are you so late?" Neville asked."Sorry

Among the guests, Cedric grinned as he glanced toward the center of the spotlight. However, his focus was completely different. His profound gaze seemed to rest solely on Sophie, filled with amazement and contemplation. 'Perhaps I truly owe her too much.'Cherry was thrilled, scattering flowers joyfully and unabashedly basking in the admiring gazes of the crowd. 'Being a flower girl is so much fun! All these cheers and attention are for me! It feels absolutely wonderful.'But as she reveled in her moment, she noticed out of the corner of her eyes that Tristan beside her had a stern expression and frowned immediately. 'What's this fella's problem? It's my godmother's wedding today. Can't he at least pretend to enjoy this?'Just as she was about to shoot him a warning glare, her foot suddenly slipped off the edge of the step."Watch out!" Tristan reacted the fastest, tossing his basket away and grabbing Cherry's arm just in time.Instinctively, Cherry flailed as she nearly fell, fli

"Cedric, Sophie, if the hospitality is lacking today, please forgive us and make yourselves at home." Neville spoke first, making the two younger adults feel a little embarrassed.Sophie shook her head with a smile. "Mr. Cheshire, you're being too kind.""Yes, there's no need to be so formal. Cedric's like a brother of mine, and Sophie is Jean's best friend. From now on, we're all family. Come on, let's drink to that." Sean poured a glass of wine and handed it to Sophie. He then poured another glass for Cedric. "I don't know what the waiters have been doing, but you can use this."Sophie could reject any drink, but she could not reject Jeanna's wedding toast. Smiling, she raised her glass and drank it all.Cedric frowned at Sean, but seeing that he was serious and not doing anything shady, he followed suit and drank.Linda, who had been delayed due to work, hurried over. She had not even had time to change out of her business attire, and it looked like she had run all the way here

Throughout the entire night, Sophie felt waves of alternating warmth and coolness coursing through her body. At times, it felt as if she were floating in the sky, so comfortable that she did not want to wake up.The glaring sunlight shone on her face, causing her to frown as she turned over, intending to continue sleeping a while longer. However, she was startled awake by the tingling sensation coursing through her body—a sensation not unfamiliar to an adult."You've woken up?" Cedric turned his body toward her, meeting her surprised gaze. His chest, still marked with traces of their passionate night, exuded an alluring aura. His lips appeared suspiciously swollen as if they had been bitten hard, and the shade of lipstick on his handsome face, matching her lipstick color, made her blush even more, prompting her to avert her gaze.'Did we... Did we sleep together last night?' While nervously clutching the edge of the blanket, thoughts flashed through her mind, conjuring up plenty of
