Sophia was amused by his remark. "Do you think we are still like before?"
"We can get along like before, as long as I let Bonnie stay in my mom's house."
Although weak, Sophia hit Drake's forehead. "Stop dreaming! We both need to work during the daytime, so Bonnie can stay at Mom's house. But she must return at night. We're her parents and must keep her company."
"OK. OK."
Drake didn't mind making love secretly to Sophia since it was rather exciting.
However, he still wanted to have another child.
According to Mia's latest update, Molly had been rejected by several companies run by the Riley, the Price, and the Duncan families, but she also received contracts from other companies of similar levels in Sealand.
Sophia curled her lips into a smile. "She's quite impressive."
"However, according to my investigation, those companies didn't have connections with the Stein family. They couldn't have cooperated with the Stein family for someone's sake."
"You mean there's something fishy behind it, right?"
"Exactly, but I'm not sure what it is now."
"It's alright, Mia. Even though Molly has signed many contracts, I don't think she can manage a company well."
Sophia's words made sense.
"However, you must continue to keep an eye on her."
"Yes, Ms. Lawson. I will."
Others in Sealand were also surprised to hear Molly had suddenly gained so many contracts. They had thought Molly would end up becoming the company president who had run the company for the shortest time in history. Much to their surprise, Molly managed to get so many contracts in a few days.
Arlo secretly called Sophia, "Ms. Lawson, I investigated her. Someone is helping her, but I haven't found who it is."
"If the person purposely wants to help her, he or she won't be exposed easily," Sophia remarked.
"That person is doing things in the dark, while what we've done is exposed to him or her. None of us knows his or her purpose yet. I'm afraid..."
With a smile, Sophia answered, "Mr. Stein, you've been doing business for many years. I'm sure you've seen many types of people. Are you fearful just because the other party is in the dark and we know nothing about him or her?"
After learning his niece had obtained so many contracts, Arlo felt slightly disappointed. He had thought Molly's career would end, but surprisingly, she turned the tables.
But it made sense. Molly was trained by the Old Stein, so she should have some tricks up her sleeves.
"I agree with you, Ms. Lawson. If I receive any news, I'll keep you updated."
"OK."
Sophia had worked in business world for a few years, but since childhood, she had learned many things of the business world from her family. Moreover, she started her companies in the past few years, so she wouldn't be afraid no matter what the challenge she faced.
She believed there were two paths in business -- success or failure.
She didn't think she would fail.
Half a month later, Jessica showed up in front of Drake again. Earlier, she had been in a mess, so she couldn't approach Drake. Finally, she thought she had a chance.
However, as soon as Drake saw her, he frowned. "Who let you enter here? Get out!"
With a confident smile, Jessica said, "Mr. Riley, please be patient. I'm not here to bother you. I represent Cannon Group to negotiate project cooperation with you."
