Sophia’s expression grew somber as she replied, “That’s right. I don’t want them catching wind of what Julian and the others are working on. If I make any moves now, it’ll just draw their attention. Sometimes, it’s smarter to lie low and do nothing.”

May didn’t ask any more. She thought, ‘Sophia is always reliable and has a plan. If she said this is the way to go, she definitely has her reasons.

Paolo had been gone from Jenston for two days now, and Sophia was checking her phone constantly, waiting for any word from him.

Sophia had hoped things would finally calm down for a couple of days, but nope, not a chance.

The Weston family clearly wasn’t about to let them off the hook.

Sophia had already emptied out Rothea Designs’ accounts and secretly mortgaged that plot of land in Redrock City her dad bought years ago, just to get Crestview Group’s stock price back on track. But today, the Roth residence was hit with yet another mess.

George had his people dig up the news about Julian being hospitalized, then deliberately showed up at the hospital with his crew, going out of his way to confront Edward.

Nobody knew what George said to Edward behind closed doors, but when Annie called Sophia, Edward was so furious that he actually collapsed.

When Sophia rushed to the hospital, she found Annie sitting on a bench outside the ICU ward, her face full of guilt.

“Annie, what happened?” Sophia asked, worry tightening her voice.

Annie’s voice was choked, her hands trembling. She said, “Sophia, I’m so sorry. I came with Edward to visit Julian today, and thought I’d get his blood pressure checked while we were here.

“I just left for ten minutes to pick up his report, and when I came back, I saw some people from the Weston family talking to him. Edward looked so angry; his face was all red. After they left, he passed out not long after.”

Sophia’s brows furrowed, her face stormy, and her eyes blazing with fury. She demanded, “Where are those Weston people now? Tell me.”

Annie, worried Sophia might lose her head and rush after them, quickly grabbed her arm. She said, “Sophia, don’t go doing anything crazy. Edward needs us right now. You have to stay safe, okay?”

Sophia thought, ‘The Weston family is absolute monsters, totally ruthless. Their only goal is to wipe out the Roth family: every last one of us.’

Sophia was about to speak when her phone rang again: it was Emily calling. Her stomach dropped; she just knew something bad was coming.

Emily told Sophia that the port clients were actually causing trouble at the door.

After quickly telling Annie what was going on, Sophia hurried out of the hospital.

When Sophia got back to Crestview Group, she handled the situation with the clients, explained everything, and offered reasonable compensation. The mess was under control for now, but she couldn’t help thinking. What about tomorrow? What about the day after that?’

Back at the Roth residence, Sophia’s nerves were stretched to the breaking point. She just couldn’t unwind. She hadn’t gotten any real rest these past few days, and her spirits were at rock bottom. She didn’t even notice she was burning up with a fever.

She dragged herself up the stairs, clutching the banister for support as she headed to her room.

The silence of the night was almost suffocating making her five even more anxious. For the first time, Sophia

truly felt powerless. Maybe it was the fever, or maybe it was everything piling up, but she was exhausted, body and soul.

Her bag slipped from her hand and hit the floor, and the car keys Easton had given her before he left clattered out, catching the light.

Sophia sat down on the floor, holding the keys and staring at them for a long time. It felt like ages since she’d last seen Easton, and out of nowhere, she found herself missing him.

She picked up her phone, not hesitating for a second. For once, she just wanted to follow her heart. Before she knew it, she was dialing Easton’s number. She thought, ‘Just to hear his voice, even if it is only for a

moment.’

The call was picked up right away.

A woman said, “Hey, Ms. Roth, Easton and I are busy right now. Did you need something?”
