Sophie’s cold voice fell, and everyone in the room shivered.

She had not only obtained their termination contracts, she had the power to enforce them.

Marcus had placed the life and death of the entire design department in her hands.

If Sophie wanted, those contracts could take effect immediately, wiping the department clean overnight.

“These contracts will remain with me for now,” Sophie said calmly.

“I expect full cooperation with my work in the future. I don’t want to see the day these contracts take effect.”

“Meeting adjourned.”

She gathered the stack of contracts and left the conference room decisively.

Only when her figure disappeared did everyone breathe out heavily.

So close–so close to losing their secure jobs!

The designers exchanged uneasy glances before their eyes shifted to Liam.

Almost instantly, excuses poured out as they scrambled for distance.

“Mr. Liam, Manager Chandler will probably set up a new department chat. I’ll just quit the old group now.”

“Mr. Liam, I still have work to finish, so I’ll get back to it.”

“Mr. Liam, my phone storage is full. I’ll join the new group later. I’m quitting the old one first.”

They rushed out one by one, none daring to remain tied to Liam.

first. ker.

Everyone knew the truth: Nina and the others had targeted Sophie because they thought Liam was their backer.

But the second those contracts appeared, Liam hadn’t defended them–he’d washed his hands of it.

At this moment, the designers were just glad they’d only slacked in the group chat, never openly sided with Liam. Otherwise, they might have been discarded too.

Sophie glanced at her phone, eyes narrowing as she watched the group members dwindle.

When only two remained, she quietly left the group as well.

She then switched to her main account and created a brand–new work chat.

Afterward, she put her phone away, her gaze sharp and clear.

Good thing Sherry Shaw had helped her sneak into Liam’s group on a side account. That was the only reason she’d had everything under contro

Liam probably still didn’t know how badly he’d been played.

Sophie walked to the shredder and fed the stack of termination contracts into it.

She smiled faintly as the blank pages were torn apart, eyes glinting sly and foxy.

First battle–total victory.

At the top floor of Morgan Tower, Marcus listened to Chris’s report, the curve of his lips deepening.

Mr. Morgan, the seals on the termination contracts Manager Chandler gave them were…”

Chris hesitated, biting his lip.

To dare use a forged Morgan Group seal–that took some nerve.

Marcus’s tone was light, casual.

“If she says it’s real, then it is.”

He rose and walked to the floor–to–ceiling window, his voice thoughtful.

Such a bold move hadn’t been her only option. No… it felt like she was testing him.

The following week, the design department threw themselves into work.

Many chose to sleep in the office, waking only to draft designs, their creativity flowing endlessly.

Though exhausted, their faces glowed with a joy that hadn’t been seen before

Since the last morning meeting, Liam hadn’t returned. Claiming his health wasn’t restored, he took extended leave.

One noon, Sophie had just finished a stack of work when a knock came at her door.

“Sophie, still busy?”

The familiar voice startled her.

Zack entered, carrying takeout boxes.

“Your brother said you haven’t been home in days. I happened to be nearby, so I brought you your favorite dishes.”

He lifted the bags as he stepped in.

Sophie blinked, then followed him to the sofa.

“The company has a cafeteria. I could’ve just grabbed something. You didn’t need to go to the trouble.”

Zack laid the food out neatly.

“Truth is, I also came to talk about Liora.”

At the mention, Sophie’s face turned serious.

“Any new moves from Liam?”

“Not exactly.” Zack placed meat in her bowl. “Eat first, we’ll talk as you eat.”

“Alright.” She took a bite, listening.

“Liam has been trying to contact old partners, hoping to squeeze the last bit of value out of Liora. But someone’s clearly blocking him. None of them

will see him.”

“The fashion world shifts fast. If you shine at the Spring Collection, everyone will forget Liora soon. It won’t take long before we take it back.”

Sophie wasn’t surprised.

*Id already heard fragments. Zack, you’re so busy–next time just call. No need to come in person.”

Her tone was casual, but Zack’s gaze darkened.

Honestly. I had another reason.

“Huh?” Sophie blinked. “What reason?”

“I went by your house a few times but never found you. Some things… should be said face to face, So I took the liberty of coming here.”

Sophie set her chopsticks down, appetite gone.

A bad premonition rose in her chest.

“Sophie, back at the villa, I think you must’ve sensed it… the truth is, I-”

The phone on her desk rang sharply.

She rushed to answer.

“Come up.”

Two words, but the pressure in Marcus’s voice sent chills down her spine.

Her grip on the phone tightened. For some reason, guilt pricked her heart.

“Mr. Morgan, is there something you need?”

“Meeting.”

The line went dead.

Relief swept through her chest. What perfect timing.

Turning back to Zack, she gave an apologetic smile.

“Dr. Mason, I have an urgent meeting. I can’t finish lunch with you. Please, don’t wait–I don’t know how long it will take.”

Unconsciously, she’d switched to formality.

Zack’s eyes dimmed, a flash of loss in his gaze.

But a second later, he was gentle again.

“Alright. Just don’t forget your health. No matter how busy work is, remember to rest.”
