Easton looked conflicted. He asked, “So, George was telling the truth?”
Fletcher nodded.
Easton stubbed out his cigarette.
He thought, ‘The past was real, and George probably has more than just those photos. If I go after the Weston family now, it could back them into a corner and force them to take desperate measures. It’ll end up hurting Sophia badly.’
Just thinking about Sophia getting hurt made Easton’s chest tighten painfully.
“Mr. Lowe, we need to take action against the Weston Group, but now’s not the time to move too fast,” Easton said.
Fletcher nodded slightly. He got it: since the Weston family had dirt on Sophia’s parents, if that ever got exposed, it’d devastate her.
After Fletcher left, Easton stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in the private suite, looking completely lost.
When Gordon walked in and saw him like that, he felt a pang of sympathy for Easton.
Sophia hadn’t just blocked Easton’s number; she’d cut him off on WhatsApp, too.
And now, Gordon had another piece of bad news to report to Easton. He genuinely felt bad for the guy.
Gordon thought, ‘Ms. Roth is really drawing a line with Mr. Foster now.
‘Mr. Foster had just gone through hell and back in Menolia, and with his health still shaky, he rushed home to help Crestview Group out of trouble.
‘Who could’ve guessed that the moment he stepped out of the airport, he’d see Ms. Roth getting cozy with another man.
‘Trying to win Ms. Roth back is already a nightmare for Mr. Foster, and now, George and Alex are making things even worse by threatening him.’
Gordon couldn’t help but wish he could just team up with Fletcher and deal with George and Alex once and for all.
He walked up quietly behind Easton.
Easton heard the sound behind him and turned around. He asked, “What is it?”
Gordon said, “Crestview Group just sent an email. Ms. Roth has handed over the port and Southern Development Zone projects to other executives. She won’t be attending any meetings related to those projects from now on.”
Easton’s hand paused mid-air, cigarette between his fingers. His expression grew heavier, and his eyes went dull in an instant.
After a few seconds, he lit his cigarette and said, “Got it.”
Gordon didn’t say another word and quietly left the private suite.

Derrick brought Sophia to an exclusive business gathering in the Wilton Hotel. And all eyes were on him as soon as he walked in.
Sophia and Derrick paid no mind to the gossip swirling around them.
Sophia introduced Derrick to several top executives and personally made sure he met the key government project leads. Just as they stepped out of the side hall, Sophia had to take an important call and excused herself, leaving Paolo to keep Derrick company in the main hall and mingle with the crowd.
At that moment, Easton arrived at the gathering with Gordon, and Derrick was meeting him for the first time.
Kevin from the Maritime Authority came over to make the introductions. He said, “Mr. Foster, this is Derrick Grant, the new executive director of Crestview Group.
“Mr. Grant, this is Mr. Easton Foster from Foster Group.”
Derrick gave a half-smile and reached out his hand. He said, “Mr. Foster, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you.”
A flicker of frosty indifference flashed in Easton’s eyes as he glanced at Derrick’s hand, an unmistakable chill settling over
the air between them.
Noticing Easton had no intention of shaking h something against me.”
Successfully unlocked! said, “Mr. Foster, it seems like you’ve got
Easton signaled for Gordon to take Kevin away, and Derrick, catching on, motioned for Paolo to give them some space, too.

“Mr. Foster, is there something you want to talk about?” Derrick asked.
Easton demanded, “What exactly is your relationship with Sophia?”
