429.Chapter 429

In Hayes Group, Frank had just finished a meeting when his phone rang. It was Allison.

He thought, ‘Sophia would leave Jenston alone to attend a photography exhibition in Greenwich, and Easton was still away on business in Cedarica. Couldn’t have asked for a better chance.

‘A chance to kill two birds with one stone.’

“Yeah, I got it. And the stuff you asked for? I’ll send it to your private email later. Keep an eye on your inbox,” Frank said.

Allison and Frank’s partnership never came without strings attached.

She wasn’t just after Easton. She was also helping her boss reclaim what was hers.

A few minutes later, Allison checked her inbox. Frank hadn’t let her down. He had sent over some industry information about Foster Group in Windmere.

Frank was only able to dig up this info because Easton had messed with him once, leaving him stuck handling business in Evaris for months.

Ever since then, Frank had been quietly investigating Easton’s influence in Evaris.

Over the past six months, Frank had followed the clues, and from what he had gathered, Easton’s real private empire was based in Windmere. With Windmere so close to Evaris, it was no wonder he could cause trouble so easily.

That’s why Frank couldn’t afford to let his guard down for even a second. With the way Easton operated, if Frank made one wrong move, Hayes Group’s foundation in Evaris could be snatched away before he even knew it.

So working with Allison wasn’t just about using her as a stepping stone to Sophia. It was also the perfect way to keep Easton on a short leash.

Frank had figured that if the Weston Group and Stella made things worse between Easton and Sophia. He had forced himself not to step in for Sophia more than once, but in the end, Easton always managed to fix things.

What really pissed him off was that Sophia and Easton actually had a kid together.

Frank couldn’t help but think, ‘No wonder Sophia never wanted to marry me.

‘Sophia, you’ve been in love with Easton for more than ten years. But haven’t I been waiting for you all these years, too?

‘Why do you still refuse to let go of him?’

The more Frank thought about it, the bitterer he felt.

But Frank quickly got a grip on himself. He wasn’t going to back down. As long as Sophia and Easton weren’t back together, there was still a chance for him.

Frank sat at his desk and told his assistant to monitor Sophia’s every move. If she booked a flight, he wanted to know right

away.

Since Easton had been away on business in Cedarica for the past few days, Sophia took Lucas to visit Irene at Windmere Estate this weekend.

“Mrs. Sophia Foster, look! Mrs. Irene Foster made ravioli herself for you and Lucas today,” Grace said cheerfully, hurrying over to help Sophia with her bags.

Sophia recently noticed that Irene seemed more energetic and her memory was much better than before. Whenever they chatted on the phone, Irene would even reminisce about things that happened right after Sophia returned from Japoria. One time, Irene had even let it slip by accident that she had learned where Sophia was living in Japoria from Edward, and had arranged for someone to quietly check in on her. That’s how Sophia realized Irene had discovered her pregnancy back

then.

Turns out, Irene had even secretly taken plenty of candid photos of Sophia and Lucas together.

But instead of feeling upset, Sophia was genuinely moved. She realized, ‘Irene had been quietly watching over me all along, always caring, but never intruding.
