Chapter 69

A few days later, Alex and Sophia arrived at the grand banquet hosted by the Lancaster family.

The opulent hall was abuzz with anticipation.

Amelia Lancaster had organized the event to announce the acquisition of BioHealth Solutions from Roland and to unveil its rebranding under the Lancaster Group.

And their partnership with Kingston would send ripples through Vancouver’s business. community, marking the Lancasters‘ bold expansion into something greater.

Whispers filled the room about Jasmine Kingston’s attendance.

“Why do we have to be here?” Sophia sighed, glancing at her father, Justin.

He adjusted his tie, his expression firm. “This is our family’s banquet, Sophia. We need to show face.”

“But they’ve already pushed us out,” she protested softly.

“Regardless, we must attend,” Justin insisted.

“Our livelihood depends on the Lancaster Group’s shares. Imagine what would happen if your grandmother decided to cut us off entirely.”

Nearby, Florence cast a disdainful look at Alex. “You should keep your distance,” she warned.

“If Amelia sees you here, she’ll be furious.”

Alex raised his hands in mock surrender. “Understood. I’ll stay out of sight.”

Sophia glanced at him apologetically. “I’m sorry, Alex. I’ll congratulate Grandmother quickly, and then we can leave together.”

He offered a reassuring smile. “No worries.”

In recent days, Sophia seemed to be softening toward him.

She hadn’t filed the divorce papers, leaving their future uncertain.

For Alex, being by her side was a way to honor his promise to Abraham and to repay her for helping retrieve his mother’s necklace.

Across the bustling room, Justin and Florence approached Amelia.

“Mother, we’ve brought Sophia as you requested,” Justin said eagerly.

“Is Peter Smith here yet?”

Florence sighed. “She’s as stubborn as ever. And worse, she brought that useless husband along.”

Amelia’s eyes

flashed with irritation. “Why didn’t you stop him?”

Mike, the newly appointed CEO, overheard the exchange and stepped forward.

He was banking on Peter Smith’s $50 million investment, which hinged on tonight’s engagement announcement.

“Fiancée?” Alex raised an eyebrow. “Last I checked, she’s still my wife. Perhaps you should step back.”
