Baron got himself delirious because of Emma while Drake lost his mind because of Sophia. What marvelous women they were!
Olivia spoke duly, "Dad, you should calm down. Pay heed to your high blood pressure."
Drake squinted and walked up to them, "Anybody? Take my grandpa home!"
The Old Riley replied angrily, "No, I'm not going back!"
"Grandpa, you have nothing to do here. Just leave."
"Shut up! Why should I listen to you? I'm still alive!"
Many people at present sighed.
The Rileys were on good terms with one another, at least on the surface.
But now, their internal conflicts were exposed. Perhaps, the Riley family's influnce in Sealand would be diminished.
Drake gestured his retinues to take the Old Riley out by pushing his wheelchair.
Olivia said to him in exasperation, "Drake, he's your grandpa. Show some respect!"
"You must be fatigued, too, my stepmother. Go back with him!" said Drake.
His face darkened, which was scary. After rethinking, Olivia chose to take things slow and leave.
Noah didn't care about what just happened. His only goal was to get Sophia.
During the banquet, he kept a distance from her, but now, he walked up to her.
"Sophia!" said Noah.
The seven members of the Lawson family, as well as Chloe and Helena, had their eyes on him.
It was pretty stressful for Noah to walk toward Sophia under the gaze of so many watchful people. Thus, Noah did appreciate Drake who could walk calmly to Sophia before.
"I know I'm not your Mr. Right right now, but anyhow I'm the most competitive pursuer. Please let me take precedence over others. I'm always here for you," said Noah genuinely.
Bard stepped up to Noah and wrapped his arm around the latter's shoulder, "Noah, you know what? Previously, what we were most afraid of was that you would take Sophia from us someday. Unexpectedly, another man did that."
"Now, it's totally the opposite. We hope you can make it so that she can stay in Pinkerton at least. So, good luck."
Noah stared at Bard, feeling surprised. Such words were really out of his expectation.
And he looked at others who were smiling at him.
Did it mean that they were willing to let him be together with Sophia?
And how about Sophia? How did she think of it?
With a poker face, Sophia said, "I'm not in the mood. Let's talk about it later!"
Noah felt really upset. Although Drake lacked the support of the Lawsons, he obtained Sophia's heart. But it was the other way around for Noah. He got the support of the Lawsons, but Sophia didn't feel anything for him.
Just then, Bailey came up with a smile, stretching out his hand, "Miss Lawson, nice to meet you. Let me introuduce myself again. I'm Bailey, Chloe's boyfriend."
Sophia also stretched out her hand to shake hands with Bailey. "Hey, I'm Sophia, Chloe's best friend."
"I gotta tell you if you dare hurt her, you'll be doomed!"
Bailey laughed. "Absolutely, you've told me many times and I won't forget it."
Sophia nodded.
