Sophia returned home as soon as the party was over; she didn't even bother having Charles send her home and asked of him to rest and take Megan home instead. As she entered her home, she quickly went to look for her father. "Father, I need to talk to you?" She said as she bragged in her father's office. "What is it?" Chairman Bai said as he looked at his daughter, who seemed troubled, he wondered what ridiculous thing he'll daughter would ask of him to do again. One time, when she returned home after shopping with the Chen's niece, she ask of him to look into the Long and La Monte girls. When he heard of those two ladies names, he paled right away and questioned his daughter if she had offended them. "Father, what if you can be as power as the president, would you grab it?" Sophia didn't give her father a definitive answer to what she was saying. The man sighs as he didn't really want to talk to his daughter, "Please, stop beating around the bush and tell me the full story right no

"So, what has Chairman Chen been doing?" Victor inquired while having breakfast with Edward and Lucas."Hmm, I heard that Chairman Chen went to see your old vice president. I'm not sure what they discussed together." Edward answered, continuing with his meal."It's not that hard to know what the two are up to. Chairman Chen doesn't want his hands to get dirty, so he went to ask the fool to do it for him." Lucas replied, having made a full report of the man's past and how he got what he wanted."Did you get what I asked of you?" Victor said, turning to Lucas."Yeah, yeah, I got it. Are you really planning to give them such an item? I mean, man, that's worth hundreds of millions." He replied, feeling that unworthy people shouldn't receive such an item."Am I spending your money?" Victor retorted, causing Lucas to explode.Lucas got up from his seat and glared at the man. He didn't expect Victor to hit back like that. He went to so much trouble for what? Just to be told off like that. "Hu

Sophia was seated in the back seat of the chair, looking blankly at the scenery outside. She recalled what had happened earlier and still felt upset. "Sophia, calm down. It's just a story," the old man said in a panic, noticing how emotionally affected the girl had become. He took his hand off her and gave her some water to help her calm down. Sophia grabbed the water and drank it; as she did, she calmed down and realized what was happening. "Professor, I'm sorry. I was..." "My child, it's fine. A kind girl like you would indeed be affected. Remember, it's just a story." However, for Sophia, it wasn't just a story. The fact that the story was greatly connected to her life made her feel like she could be the reincarnated lady-in-waiting and the man could be the king. "Miss, is something wrong?" the driver asked, noticing the frown on the girl's face. "Go to my mother's house right away," she replied. "What?" The driver was shocked and couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Do I

'Ah, darn it, what should I do?' Antonia was covered in sweat and blood; she had been running for her life for ages now. As she went to meet with a client in secret, she didn't expect it to be a trap to end her life. She had always lived her life being the friendliest person back then, as she took the risk of being part of his father's family, she had enemies left and right. She had not had a single day where she didn't have to be chasing someone or she was running away from someone. "What a life?" She said as she caught one of the men chasing her out of the blue. The man was at the point of screaming and fighting back, but she had already ended his life by slicing his throat. The woman could feel the warm blood coming out of the man's neck. She had been trained since a young age to not be afraid of death; only then would she be able to survive. As death awaited her wherever she went, she had to fight death to keep her life. Her eyes showed no sign of fear nor regret in her actions,

After breakfast, Antonia returned to her room. A few minutes later, a doctor came to visit and check on her, accompanied by Lucas, who was curious about her condition. "How is she?" Lucas inquired, watching from a distance as the doctor examined the gunshot wound. "No worries, she's perfectly fine. Her wound has healed well," the doctor reassured them. Antonia felt a sense of relief upon hearing the news. She had been worried that the gunshot wound might cause complications, but it seemed that her fears were unfounded. "Is Mr. Augustine here?" Antonia asked, wondering where he was. She was surprised that he wasn't present when she woke up. "Ah, he's busy with some matters," Lucas replied. He debated whether to tell Antonia what Victor was doing, but ultimately decided not to share the details. At this point, they were acquaintances, not close friends like they used to be. They didn't owe each other any explanations. However, in the back of his mind, Lucas wondered if Antonia had r
