Then his recorded voice came through the speakers.“Marry me.”A stunned silence swept through the hall. Sophia's face lost its color.Alexander turned sharply toward her. “What is this?” he asked, his eyes fixed on her as confusion crossed his face.Sophia stared at the screen, unable to answer.The recording continued.Sophia looked at Alexander from the hospital bed. “Have you finally lost your mind, Mr. Wolfe?”Several guests exchanged confused glances.The recording continued, revealing the conversation they had once believed would remain between them.Alexander explained that he knew Sophia's work. He spoke about Carter Group's expansion plans, acquisition proposals, investment strategies, and financial models.Then his recorded voice came through the speakers. “But the best ones weren't Damien Carter's.” The room became even quieter. “They were yours.”A murmur moved through the audience.Sophia's hand tightened around the microphone until her knuckles turned pale.On the scree

His eyes remained fixed on her. “Who else knows about the contract?” he asked, resting his forearms against his thighs.Sophia lifted her head and met his gaze. “No one,” she answered, shaking her head. “Nobody knows.”Alexander studied her expression. “No one?” he repeated, his brows drawing together.Sophia shook her head again. “Not even Emily.”Alexander's expression changed at the mention of the name. “Emily,” he repeated quietly, leaning back slightly in his chair.Sophia nodded. “Yes.”Alexander rubbed his thumb slowly against his palm while he thought. “Emily?” he asked again, looking directly at Sophia. “You mean your best friend?”“Yes,” Sophia replied, keeping her hands together in her lap.Alexander remained silent for a moment before asking the question that immediately made Sophia understand where his thoughts were going. “Do you trust her?”Sophia's expression hardened slightly. “Of course I trust her,” she answered without hesitation. “She's my best friend.”Alexander

“What exactly are you going to do about this?”Cassian Evermont slammed his palm against the polished boardroom table, making the glasses in front of several shareholders tremble. His face was drawn tight with anger as he leaned forward in his chair, his eyes fixed sharply on Alexander. “The entire market is talking about Wolfe Global, and not because of SmartCore, Virelli, or the progress this company has made. They are talking about a marriage contract being exposed in front of half the people who matter in this industry.”The room fell into an uneasy silence.Alexander stood at the head of the long table, his hands resting lightly against its edge. His expression remained composed, but the slight tension in his jaw showed that Cassian's words had not gone unnoticed. Around the table sat some of Wolfe Global's most influential shareholders and senior executives, and none of them looked satisfied with what they had heard so far.Evander Rothwell sat with his arms folded across his c

“Emily?”Sophia pressed the phone firmly against her ear as she waited for a response. The moment she heard a broken sob from the other end, the tiredness that had settled over her face disappeared. She immediately straightened in her chair, her fingers tightening around the phone as concern rushed through her.“Emily, what happened?” she asked, leaning forward as she listened to another shaky breath. “Why are you crying?”For several seconds, Emily could not answer. Her breathing came through the phone in uneven bursts, followed by another quiet sob that made Sophia's heart tighten.“Sophia…” Emily finally managed, her voice trembling badly. “I'm sorry.”Sophia pushed herself out of the chair and stood beside the boardroom table. She picked up her bag with her free hand, but her attention remained completely fixed on the call.“Sorry for what?” she asked, her voice softening as she frowned. “Emily, please talk to me. You're frightening me.”Emily drew in a shaky breath before answeri

Sophia pulled her car to a stop in front of Emily’s house and switched off the engine. She quickly unfastened her seat belt and stepped out of the car, then she closed the door behind her and walked toward the house, her expression filled with concern. The moment she reached the entrance, she raised her hand and knocked firmly on the door.There was no response.She waited for several seconds before knocking again, this time with more urgency. “Emily?” she called, leaning slightly toward the door as she listened.A few seconds later, she heard the lock turning. The door slowly opened, and Emily appeared on the other side.Sophia's heart sank when she saw her.Emily’s eyes were swollen and red from crying, and several faint tear marks remained on her cheeks. Her hair was slightly disheveled, and there was a tiredness in her expression that immediately made Sophia forget every question she had been planning to ask.“Emily,” Sophia whispered, her voice softening as she looked at her clos
