Alex stubbed out his cigarette, sounding almost unnervingly calm. “Dad, relax. I never expected them to go down that easily. Sure, I didn’t see them landing Everwell International as a partner.”

He continued, “That’s impressive. But the truth is, the port project was never my real goal from the start.”

George’s expression shifted, and he stared at Alex in disbelief. “You mean you’re gunning for the Southern Development Zone project?”

Álex shook his head. “Nope. That stuff doesn’t even matter to me. What I’m after is the one project Crestview Group will stake their future on in the next few years.”

George looked completely lost. ‘Isn’t the Southern Development Zone project the main thing Crestview Group’s betting on for the next few years? And now they’re lucky enough to have Foster Group on their side.

‘With Foster Group in their corner, Crestview Group could be back at the peak era in no time.

That was the last thing George wanted. He thought, ‘No way am I going to let Crestview Group get so smug, which is exactly why I rushed my eldest son back to take the reins at Weston Group.’

“Dad, if you can see it, then it’s definitely not the plan they value most,” Alex said.

With that, he pulled a file from his drawer and handed it to George.

“Everyone assumes Julian is just a gentle, ordinary businessman, but if he didn’t have real strategies, there’s no way he could have secured his spot as CEO of Crestview Group.

“Sure, Crestview Group was struggling before Sophia returned, but that never meant Julian was out of moves. He’s poured all his strength into this plan.

“And the one backing him from the shadows? He’s a formidable player in the investment world, someone whose abilities even I wouldn’t dare underestimate,” Alex explained.

George was stunned. ‘There really isn’t a single weakling in the Roth family,’ he thought, staring at the file in front of him. He clenched his worry beads so tightly his knuckles turned white.

“Dad, so don’t rush. As long as I keep chipping away at the plan Julian’s spent years building, Crestview Group will collapse sooner or later,” Alex said.

George’s only hope now rested on Alex. He believed every word his son said, without a shred of doubt.

After Crestview Group and Everwell International sealed the deal, the port project for the next quarter was finally back on track. Sophia could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She’d been holding her breath for days.

After working overtime tonight, Sophia didn’t make it back to Grandview Estate until it was already ten o’clock.

Ever since that morning when she walked out of Easton’s place next door, she hadn’t seen him once. Just as Sophia was thinking about it, the door to the apartment next to hers opened.

Sophia’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurried toward her own door. But when she glanced over, she saw it was Bernard, the butler from Windmere Estate, coming out of the apartment next door.

Bernard’s eyes lit up when he saw Sophia, and he greeted her warmly, “Mrs. Foster, you’re back.”

‘Ugh, that title still makes me cringe, Sophia thought, feeling awkward. She really didn’t think she deserved to be called that.

But she couldn’t just ignore Bernard; that would be way too rude.

“Bernard, it’s been a while,” Sophia said.

“Yeah, it’s been a while. Everything good with you?” Bernard asked warmly.

Sophia nodded. “All good, Bernard. Appreciate you looking out for me.”

Bernard was carrying a few things, and Sophia glanced over. He quickly explained, “Mr. Foster just got back from his business trip in Menolia and returned to Windmere Estate.

“He realized he’d left some documents here, and since he’s got an important international meeting tonight, he asked me to come pick them up. He also told me to grab a few suits for him to wear over the next few days.”

Sophia gave a small smile and nodded.

“Bernard, I’ll let you get back to it. I won’t hold you up ibpudeld
