With that, Frank shouted to the waiter, “Bring a chair here!”
The busy box was quiet again. Sophia felt that the temperature around her had become lower at the moment. Indeed she saw Stephen’s cold face.
The person next to him pulled Frank, and Frank immediately woke up and apologized, “I'm sorry, Mr. Berry, I forgot that Jessie ... I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll fine myself three more glassed of wine!”
Seeing this, Sophia thought of the license plate number of Stephen’s Bentley Continental: SA.521JQ. JQ was for Jessie Quainton.
Sophia suddenly understood something.
“Frank, why do you come so late? What have you been busy with?”
Someone changed the topic and the box became lively again.
The waiter took a chair to the side of Stephen. Sophia looked at Stephen and knew if she left, she would draw more attention, so she sat down beside Stephen.
Stephen did not respond. And Daniel quietly walked out.
Sophia wanted to be natural around Stephen, but Stephen's aura was too strong that she could not help but keep watching Stephen. Stephen was having wine one by one. Sophia secretly thought: Jessie should be his favorite woman, but for some reason, they were not together.
Soon after, Frank's line of sight once again fell on Sophia.
It was not because Frank did not like Sophia, but because Sophia was too beautiful. In a white skirt sitting beside Stephen, she looked like his girlfriend, which was eye catching.
Frank did not get a satisfactory answer, but he did not give up and asked directly Sophia, “Beauty, what is your name? Why do you look familiar to me?”
Sophia felt it was a comman way to pick up girls and she told him her name. But Frank knew her, “Sophia Carter? Sophia Carter... Are you the Carter from the Carter Group? Is your father's name Ashton Carter?”
Few people knew Sophia, but the people present had heard of the name of Ashton Carter.
“Isn’t the Carter Group bankrupt...” Frank seemed to want to ask other questions, but suddenly thought of something, he immediately stopped, give up Sophia and turned to chat with the people around.
Sophia frowned: does he know something? Does he know where my parents and brother are?
Sophia secretly thought that she would find an opportunity to ask Frank. She did not notice, after the dialogue, Stephen's face got gloomier.
