“Ms. Roth, I’m just glad you’re okay. It’s all my fault. I didn’t protect you well enough, and you ended up getting hurt, Paolo said, looking guilty.

Sophia gave him a gentle smile and sat down on the chair by his bed. ‘Paolo, you did your best. There were too many of them for you to handle alone. If you hadn’t held off two of them, my fate would be uncertain right

now.”

Paolo scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. “I’m just glad you don’t blame me. I already filled Mr. Roth in on what happened today. He might call you later.”

Sophia nodded.

Just then, Gordon knocked on the door. “Ms. Roth, the plane is ready. We can head out whenever you’re ready.” Sophia glanced at Paolo, knowing he was still too banged up to be moving around.

She walked over to Gordon. “Gordon, could you let Mr. Foster and Mr. Howard know? Paolo needs a couple more days to recover before we can head back to Jenston.

“Plus, Mr. Roth already sent a team over, so I’m safe now. We’ll stay here for now and make our own arrangements later.”

Gordon looked a bit uneasy. ‘If Mr. Foster hears Ms. Roth isn’t going back with him, he’s not going to be happy about this, he thought.

“Don’t worry. I’ll handle Easton myself,” Sophia assured him.

Gordon nodded. “Just make sure you stay safe, Ms. Roth. If anything comes up, you can always reach me.* Sophia just smiled and didn’t say anything.

After leaving the hospital, Julian had arranged for bodyguards to escort Sophia to a car. She was heading back to the hotel to take a shower and get some rest.

She picked up her phone and called Easton. After she finished explaining, there was a long silence on the other end.

Easton’s voice was low and hesitant. “Sophia, we?”

Sophia knew exactly what he was trying to say. She’d felt it these past few days, and after he didn’t hesitate to save her today, she couldn’t pretend she wasn’t moved.

But deep down, there was always an alarm bell going off, warning her not to fall for the same person twice.

So she forced herself to let go of any wishful thinking and face what he was really asking.

“Easton, I know what you want to say, but I don’t want that. No matter what, now or in the future, we can only ever be business partners,” she said, her tone firm.

In other words, they weren’t even on friendly terms.

After the call ended, Sophia slumped back against the car seat and closed her eyes, trying to steady her nerves. Today was just too much, too fast, she thought, struggling to keep her emotions in check.

Back at the hotel, she filled the bathtub with hot water and sank into it, letting the warmth soak away her exhaustion.

She murmured to herself, “Alex?”

Sophia felt that Alex was even more vicious and ruthless than Stella, maybe even Nicolas.

Sophia knew she had to be extra careful around him, not just in business, but in her personal life, too. Protecting herself was no longer optional.

Alex was back for revenge.

Sophia picked up her phone and called Julian. “Julian, get someone to keep a close watch on the Weston family.

“I’m pretty sure those three men who attacked me today were sent by Alex. He’s clearly trying to kill me to avenge his younger brother.”

Julian stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his expression grim as he listened.

Sophia’s suspicions lined up perfectly with his own. After the Hayes Group anniversary, he’d already arranged for people to tail Alex 24/7.

Ever since the Barrington Energy incident, Julian had been ready to go to war with the Weston family in the business world.

But he never expected they’d actually try to hurt Sophia behind the scenes.

“Sophia, I’ve added a few more bodyguards for you lately. Whenever you go out, make sure to take them with you,” Julian reminded her.

“Julian, having too many bodyguards around just gets in the way. Honestly, as long as Paolo is with me, that’s enough,” Sophia replied.

Julian knew exactly who had sent Paolo, and he trusted that guy’s arrangement completely.

In this world, besides Julian’s father and Julian, there was someone else out there who cared about Sophia just as much as they did.
