The CEO's Unexpected Wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

The black car disappeared into the darkness.Inside the mansion, Sophia stood frozen in front of the computer.The screen had gone completely black.Only a few seconds ago, it had revealed a mysterious man who was supposedly the real owner of the Black Ledger.Now there was nothing.Adrian walked toward Sophia.“Are you okay?”She nodded slowly.“I don't know anymore.”He gently took her hand.“You don't have to figure everything out tonight.”“But how can I not?”She looked toward the door where the police had taken Victor and his grandfather.“Everything I believed about my family was a lie.”Adrian squeezed her hand.“Not everything.”Sophia looked at him.“Our marriage was unexpected,” he said softly. “But my love for you isn't.”Her eyes filled with tears.She leaned against his chest.“I was so afraid I would lose you.”“You won't.”Behind them, Evelyn watched quietly.For the first time in decades, she allowed herself to believe that perhaps her daughter could finally have a no

The drive back to the mansion was silent.Sophia sat beside Adrian, staring out the window as the city lights passed by.Her mind was filled with questions.Her mother was missing.Her father might still be alive.Harrison was somehow connected to everything.And now Alexander had warned them that someone inside the family might be helping him.Sophia looked at Adrian.“Do you trust anyone?”Adrian remained silent for a moment.“I trust you.”“That isn't what I asked.”“I know.”He looked at her.“But right now, you're the only person I'm certain about.”Sophia nodded.“Then we don't trust anyone until we know the truth.”Adrian squeezed her hand.“Agreed.”The car finally arrived at the mansion.But something was wrong.The front gates were open.No guards were visible.Adrian immediately pulled out his weapon.“Stay inside.”Sophia frowned.“You said we were doing this together.”“I know.”“Then I'm coming.”Adrian looked at her.“You really won't listen.”“Never.”Despite the dange

Sophia stared at the screen.Her mother's words echoed inside her head.“Your father is the real mastermind.”“No,” Sophia whispered.Adrian stood beside her, equally stunned.“My father died twenty-five years ago.”Evelyn shook her head.“He didn't.”Sophia felt tears running down her cheeks.“Then why did everyone say he was dead?”“Because that was the only way to keep you safe.”Harrison stood silently behind them.For the first time, even he looked uncomfortable.Adrian turned toward him.“You knew?”Harrison nodded.“I knew Alexander Cross survived.”Adrian's eyes hardened.“But you said he was your enemy.”“He was.”“Then why did you take him?”Harrison looked at the screen.“Because he wanted the Black Ledger back.”Sophia stared at her mother.“Mom, I need you to tell me everything.”Evelyn took a deep breath.“Your father wasn't always evil.”Sophia's expression softened slightly.“He wasn't?”“No. Alexander was once a good man. He loved you more than anything.”“Then what h

Sophia stood frozen outside the operating room.The doctor's words repeated inside her head.“The bullet contained a tracking device.”She looked toward Adrian's room.“Does that mean they can find him here?”The doctor nodded.“If the device is still active, yes.”“Can you remove it?”“We already did during surgery.”Sophia exhaled in relief.“But there's something else,” the doctor added.Her relief disappeared.“What?”“The device transmitted a signal before we removed it.”“How long?”“About thirty seconds.”Sophia's face went pale.Thirty seconds was enough.Whoever had planted the tracker now knew Adrian was at the hospital.She immediately called Marcus.“Marcus, listen carefully. Adrian's location may have been compromised.”“What happened?”“The bullet had a tracking device.”There was silence.“I'll secure the hospital immediately.”“Don't let anyone near his room.”“Understood.”Sophia ended the call.Alexander approached her.“Where is Adrian?”“Still recovering.”“He need

The chamber fell silent.Sophia stared at the woman standing beneath the dim emergency light.Her mother.Evelyn.A gun was pointed toward them.For several seconds, Sophia couldn't speak.“Mom?”Evelyn's expression was unreadable.“Stay where you are.”Sophia's eyes filled with tears.“Why are you pointing that at us?”“Because I don't want anyone else to die.”Adrian stepped in front of Sophia.“Put the gun down.”Evelyn looked at him.“I can't.”“You can.”“No.”Her voice trembled.“You don't understand what is happening.”Sophia looked toward the shaking walls.“Harrison said he would destroy the chamber.”“He won't.”“How do you know?”“Because Harrison isn't the one controlling this.”Adrian frowned.“Then who is?”Evelyn looked at Alexander.“Tell them.”Alexander's face became pale.“No.”Evelyn raised the gun slightly.“Tell them.”Sophia looked between them.“What are you hiding?”Alexander closed his eyes.“The explosion isn't coming from Harrison.”Sophia's heart stopped.
