Chapter 1022



“That’s right. Everything will get better.”

The three of them made their way upstairs to Sophie’s room, where Sophie and Elma took turns recounting the past to Kallie. However, they were unable to fill in the gaps of Kallie’s life before they were born because Kallie had never spoken of it.

Kallie kept her past to herself with words like, “We should look to the future instead of dwelling on the past. No matter how difficult or painful some memories may be, they shouldn’t hold us back.”

Listening to her children, Kallie was surprised by the pieces of her past they revealed.

“I can’t believe I was like that before. I can’t even imagine what I was like.”

Upon waking up, Kallie had always thought of herself as easygoing, but Sophie shared stories of how she had managed a vast company, a woman who was decisive, determined, and respected by her employees.

The thought made Kallie uneasy. She furrowed her brow and asked, “Now that I don’t remember, who’s managing this Nixon Group you mentioned?”

Sophie reassured her gently, “Don’t worry. The senior managers at the Nixon Group were all handpicked by you. And if they’re not reliable, we’re here to help.”

Sophie winked playfully. Though she hadn’t shown much interest in the company, she had picked up a few management skills over time.

Sophie’s dreams had evolved. When she was younger, she had aspired to be an actress, drawn by the glamour. But after spending time with Kallie, she had come to believe in taking control of her own life. She planned to start her own entertainment company. Once that idea took hold, she began learning the ropes of management with Calvin.

Kallie had always intended for Sophie to follow in her footsteps. Although Sophie started later than Calvin, she had quickly caught up, her knowledge on par with his.

Calvin and Sophie took turns visiting the company each week, monitoring the operation. This week, it was Calvin’s turn, so he wasn’t with them today.

Kallie, amused yet surprised by the story, asked, “But you’re so young. Do you really manage to learn everything so well?”

Sophie shrugged nonchalantly.

“It’s normal. My dad believes Calvin and I still have a lot to learn and wants us to pick up more with him.”

Kallie’s brows furrowed in confusion.

“Your dad? Who is he?”

Sophie and Elma exchanged a glance. Before Elma could speak, Sophie raised a hand to silence her.

Sophie gave a strained smile to Kallie.

“Mom, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you. But you and my dad still have some unresolved issues. Honestly, we don’t think you’d like to face him while you’re still dealing with your memory loss. We just want you to regain your memories first.”

Kallie nodded in understanding. One was most vulnerable without their memories, as they couldn’t distinguish friend from foe, leaving themselves exposed and uneasy.
