apologize but | cannot reveal the evidence have. Lam confident that the law will be on my side,” Sofia said

“Miss Lockhart, plagianism is frowned upon in the artistic industry. What are your future plans after this scandal?”

Soha pursed her lips, looked at the reporter, and only smiled.

Miss Lockhart will not answer any more questions, a man suddenly intervened. He stood in front of Sofia, his face cold. “It YOU

WANI Answers, you are going to wait for the conference later!

Seeing the man, all the reporters seemed to have lost their enthusiasm.

They faded from view as abruptly as they had emerged

of Senator

Sofia looked at Karina, who winked at her. The man before Sona was Karina's boss, Adam Harris, the Harms and the partner of

Harris and Legacy Law Associates. He was also one of the most ruthless Lawyers in the US, well known for his ability to win

unwinnable cases

“Follow me,” Adam said as he led them towards his own car, a black SUN waiting nearby. “Just as | told you | will be representing

you from now on. Everything you are going to do, the words you are going to speak, and your plans shall be detailed | do not

want to be blindsided. | want all the facts | want receipts. | want cooperation, he said the moment the car started moving He sat

in the passenger seat with Karina and Soffa at the back of the car.

“| have already prepared answers to their possible questions later. | do not want you to create a sob story. You are the heir of LH

Group The last thing the shareholders need is someone who would cry when faced with a problem.” Adam said as Karina

handed a folder to Sofia.

Sota nodded and accepted it. Then she started reading the tiles. Slowly, her face turned solemn. “You wanted me to fight fire

with fire?” she asked.

“Being calm, composed, and professional is not fighting fire with tire. It is showing that you have the emotional intellimm to

handle the company. Adam said coldly.

“You wanted me to hand the evidence towards the shareholders Sofia asked.

“Yes”

“Before the media!”

“Yes”

Sofia pursed her lips. So, Adam wanted her to solve everything behind the scenes

yourare a threat. Those cacutis kojim that” Adam said. “Miss Karina will help you out oring the shareholder’s meeting We have

already printed what we currently have

So all the file She immediately understood his plan You wanted them to help me out Right now, Sofia is akin to a John front of

laner solves She was alone young and considered weak

All her life Sedia hat whed on her mothes grandmother, and Lawrence Now, it is time for her to learn how to defend herself from

the sharks that wanted to devour her whole

Those people rimst have expected her to have a breakdown so they could prove to everyone that she was unstable. Then

nilit be easier for them to kick her out of her very own company.

Thinking bark. Sofia could only blame herself for this weakness. She grew up thinking that the company would belong to her

anyway. Her grandmother encouraged her to pursue business to intern in the company but she refused to. She thought she

could easily survive if she followed the things that she loved

Of course, the person who encouraged her to do this was her trusted stepfather who also influenced her mother.

“Thank you” Soha said.

“Hmmm. Adam turned his head away and no longer spoke again. His driver then drove Sofia and Karina towards her

office

“You have not been answering my calls.” Daniel's voice welcomed her the moment she arrived inside her office. She narrowed

her eyes at Daniel, who was sitting on her chair. It seems that this man was hell-bent on ruining her mood. Sofa rould only sigh

inwardly

*| visited your apartment and it turns out, you are not there Yet it seems that you have forgotten to inform me. You also seem to

have forgotten to tell me about the incident involving your car

Sofia removed her coat and handed it to Miss Amores. “Are you here for an explanation? Because both of us know you are not

getting one.” Sofia said.

“What are you doing?” Daniel got up. He approached her

“Leave us.” Sofia turned to Miss Amores and Karina, who complied without saying another word.

Sofia looked at the man standing in front of her. Daniel was a little shorter than Alexander In the past, she actually thought that

Daniel led it all

However, compared to his brother, Daniel was considered mediocre. For some reason, seeing him up close immediately made

Sofia angry. She wondered why this man was still acting like this in from of her.

“If you told me about the incident. | would have gone back home. | am certain that Alexander would understand.” He tried to

reach out to touch her cheeks, but she turned her face away know | have been really busy, but that was just because Alexander

forces me to travel a lot

“Tam tired” She walked past him, Blaming other people was something that this man was very good at

Sodra was confident that if she confronted Daniel now, the latter would immediately start blaming Charlotte.

“Was it about Aunt?” he asked. “I heard about Dr. Mulach. Sofia, if Lhad known........

“No. It is not your fault? Sofia said. She then took her seat and stared at Daniel’s soft expression. “It was never your f

She could feel Daniel’s gaze towards her, yet she chose to ignore him. “How about | take a leave? You have been very stressed

the past few days. Why not take a vacation? How about celebrating somewhere warmer? Florida? Or Asia?” Daniel asked. “Bah

or the Philippines would be nice

“| have been asking you for the past few years to celebrate my birthday in those places You always said you were busy. Sofia

Sof-

“It's fine “Sofia said “I still have things to attend to. You should leave now,”

She heard a sharp sigh Almost immediately, her face turned coli

“Look Sofia, will you just he stared at her then let out another sigh as if he was trying to calm himself. “I did not mean to

“| know,” Sofia answered. Right now, she found it almost impossible to act around Daniel. With the poisoning and everything else

happening around her. Sofia’s tolerance for bullshit is quite low. She only wished that this man would leave

Very $0011

“| know | have been away, but this is for our future. Alexander wanted me to lead a project in Asia. | think.... | think this is my

chance to prove myself to the board.” Daniel said. “You. of all people, should understand that, right?”

Sofia pursed her lips. “Oh, | do she answered after a few seconds of silence.

He was right. Sofia had witnessed his struggle in the Beaumont Empire. She had seen this man spend sleepless nights for a

report.

For years, she stood by his side as he went through everything. She supported him and fought for him. In the end, he betrayed

her.

1 do understand everything.” Sofia smiled as the memories in her head slowly faded away.
