Chapter 237

Sophie’s voice trembled slightly.

But now wasn’t the time to dwell on that.

Marcus tightened his grip on Sophie’s hand. “I’ll get to the bottom of the saffron issue,” he said, his eyes tinged with guilt as he lowered his head, almost as if apologizing.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Sophie’s hand froze. “No, we’d better stay put for now.”

“If we make a move too soon, the person behind all this might get suspicious. I’m in the open, and they’re in the dark. If we make any moves, they’ll catch on immediately.”

Marcus looked up, his eyes locked on Sophie’s red lips. His brows furrowed deeper.

“We’ll go along with what they want. Don’t worry, I won’t let myself get hurt,” he said calmly.

Sophie, her gaze steady, lowered her eyes and looked at the man in front of her.

But Marcus’s eyes, full of possessiveness, caught her off guard.

His face darkened, and Sophie immediately shut her mouth, thinking, What did I say wrong now?

Marcus gritted his teeth and nodded, releasing Sophie’s hand. He stood up, lips tightly pressed together, his eyes still tinged with red as he walked toward the door.

Just as he reached the door, his steps halted, and his anger surged again, looking for an outlet. He turned back, his gaze sharp and filled with fury, but when he saw Sophie sitting innocently on the bed, the fire in him seemed to fade.

Sophie sat on the edge of the bed, her expression full of innocence. Her face still held the faint blush from earlier, her entire demeanor soft and flushed.

Marcus, swallowing his frustration, bit his lip and walked away without a word.

Sophie, watching him awkwardly walk away, frowned. She looked down at her slightly rounded belly–With all this emotional turmoil, who’s the one pregnant here?

Chris had already handed over all of Falyon matters to White and arranged a private plane back to Riverland early the next morning.

After a night’s rest, Sophie felt much better.

Her personal assistant had packed everything, and the extended–version Maybach was waiting downstairs.

Marcus, still wearing a cold expression, didn’t even glance at Sophie as she got into the car.

He was still angry.

Sophie, deep in thought, tested the waters by brushing her arm against his as she fastened her seatbelt.

Marcus didn’t respond, which only made Sophie more frustrated. What a temperamental man!

The two of them didn’t speak a word during the flight either.

As the plane was about to land, the signal came back, and Sophie immediately picked up her phone. With all the commotion in Falyon, she knew there had to be some ripple effects back home.

Curious about what was happening, she opened X and found the financial news taking over the headlines, previously dominated by entertainment

stories.

More and more posts appeared, marked with eye–catching words like “Hills Founder Exposed, It’s Him!” and “Mr. Morgan’s Grand Return followed by “The Fall of Morgan Group!”

The top three news stories were all related to Marcus, and even casual readers, who usually didn’t care about financial news, were jumping in to gossip. Sophie’s past news that had been buried had resurfaced again.

But just as Sophie’s name began trending, it was quickly suppressed again.

She glanced at Marcus, who was still focused on the screen, processing some work. The gratitude she had started to feel vanished immediately.

It wasn’t Marcus who helped. It must’ve been Sherry!

Sophie continued scrolling through the comments, her heart sinking.

“Morgan’s methods are incredible–this is even more thrilling than a novel!”

“I just finished eating all the gossip. I have to say, Mr. Morgan made his father step down so rationally, this guy can’t fail at anything!”

“He took his father’s power–just like the old man. Looks like the Morgan family’s flaws are inherited!”

“Don’t talk nonsense, you’re not even done with the gossip! Look at how Mr. Morgan was forced into this situation by his father. If he didn’t fight back, he would’ve been finished. The real flaws are with his father who forced him into this!”

“Exactly, shut up! I’m reporting this!”

Reading the comments, Sophie suddenly felt a sense of dread.

Morgan Group had now returned to Marcus’s hands. The partners who had avoided the Chandler Group when Marcus left Morgan Group were now flocking to them like leeches.

Outside the Chandler Group, many companies that had stopped cooperating with the Chandler Group when Marcus left were now gathering, holding up their cooperation contracts high.

“Excuse me, could you please let President Chandler know? We believe the partnership we were negotiating has great potential.”

“I was here first, move back in line!”

Inside the office, Ethan Chandler sat in front of his computer screen, watching the live footage from the venue.

A secretary walked in, holding a stack of papers just under his chin, and awkwardly placed them down.

“President Chandler, these are invitations from companies who want to rekindle their partnerships now that Mr. Morgan has returned.”

Ethan raised his hand, his fingers pressing against his temple, then stood up in silence.

The secretary followed, “These are the businesses that stopped cooperating with us when Mr. Morgan left. Now that he’s back, they’re all coming back

to us.”

Ethan adjusted his tie in front of the mirror, a faint smirk forming on his lips. “They’re afraid. Afraid that Marcus will hold them accountable for what happened before.”

“President Chandler, what about these projects…” The secretary hesitated.
