“Here are the specifics of the party. Miss Amores handed Sofia a file for tomorrow's birthday celebration. She had been busy in

the past few days, running around for the company and the event

While her grandmother had already handled most things for her, there were still tasks she needed to attend to, such as photo

shoot with her grandmother using various dresses her mother designed, double and triple-checking the guest list. finalizing the

menu with the restrictions and preferences of the guests, and many others

Why are you here?”

“Is it tue?” Daniel asked, his voice a little hoarse. This prompted Sofia to examine the man before her. Daniel had really lost

weight: his face looked a little pale, with dark bags under his eyes. His hair was a mess, and so were his clothes.

“| don’t think that is any of your business.” Sofia nodded at Miss Amores, who immediately went to get their car, leaving Sofia

and Daniel alone.

“Really? Of all the people you really asked for my brother’s help

Sofia snorted. “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“You know what he did to me.”

“| also happened to know that you had a relationship with my sister.” Sofia answered almost immediately.

“What are you- “Daniel's eyes suddenly widened. “You are you doing this to-“he rushed towards her, surprising Sofia. Then he

held both of her arms. “Are you involved with my brother!?”

Sofia immediately flinched. However, before she could answer, Daniel added, “You really dared to be with my brother just to get

“Are out of your mind?” Sofia asked. “You really dare to come in here and accuse me of things? Do you really think | am as low

as you?” Sofia glared at Daniel who struggled to stand upright. “I know you and Charlotte started your relationship years ago, so

don’t you dare.. make me the villain! It was you who cheated on me! And | have evidence to prove that.”

As if on cue, her car also happened to arrive. “Now don’t you dare let me see your face again, Sofia said. “Or | will ruin your life!”

she hissed before marching towards her car

Once inside, Sofia patted her chest, her face paling. She thought Daniel and Charlotte were done bothering her!

It seems that she was wrong!

However, this made her wonder if Daniel had really lost his mind. What is he doing? Didn’t he love Charlotte? Why was he trying

She had so many questions and really needed an answer right now. Sadly, Alexander is still not in the country.

“What is Charlotte doing these days?” Sofia asked.

“Miss Charlotte is currently in Spain, Miss Amores said. “She has been visiting a lot of places nearby. Aside from that... she

hasn't been doing much.”

So now, Charlotte is obediently staying in Spain? Sofia narrowed. Did she miss something?

“Miss, | think | mean- May | speak my mind?” Miss Amores asked.

“Please do.”

“It looks like Miss Charlotte is waiting for something” Miss Amores said. “This is from someone who has been around for years. |

have met Miss Charlotte a couple of times, and | seem to notice that she is not someone who likes to stay idle for too long”

Sofia nodded. She actually agreed with Miss Amores. With that, she opened her phone and sent a text to Alexander. [Sorry to

disturb you, but | have a quick question... She thought about sending a smiley face but ended up removing it. She did not want

to sound silly in front of him.

She knew that Alexander was busy, so she knew that he would not reply anytime soon. After a while, she decided to send a

second text. [Do you happen to know if Charlotte was really in Spain?]

After sending this message, she closed her phone and leaned back. Then she took a deep calming breath. She’s getting tired of

Daniel and Charlotte. She really wanted to get this over with.

Her thoughts were interrupted, when her phone started vibrating

“Karina?” Sofia answered the call.

“Have you seen the latest tabloid news?”

“Huh?” Sofia frowned. “What's it about?”

“It's your grandmother!” Karina said.

“What? Wait... hold on. Let me check.” She took her tablet and checked out some news. Almost immediately, her expression

changed.

“Eh?”

Seeing the headline made Sofia chuckle. All the headlines seemed positive; it seemed that they were supporting the relationship.

However, how could Sofia not know that this could affect the company? Negative media coverage and public scrutiny may
