Harold asked, surprised."She's fine. Although I'm curious who could have made an attempt on her life. I know her family is a powerful one but... She's no longer the heir to the Chase empire which makes me think that attack felt personal." Arthur uttered."Personal? Who could want her dead? Maybe her uncle?" "I don't think so, she speaks highly of him besides she's close to her cousin." "Hmm who do you think is behind it?" "That's what I intend to find out.""Count me

"I didn't let you finish really? Why would you go to their house?" Adonis asked. "First of all the party isn't held in their house and secondly, it's an official party and birthday party. So yes, stop being paranoid." Sophie said. "Why didn't you tell me you were going to a party in the first place?" Adonis asked. "Must I tell you everything? Besides, it slipped my mind." Sophie said. "I'm sure it did." Adonis said disconnecting the call. "Hello? Hello Adonis are you there?" Sophie asked as she noticed the call was disconnected. "I have to go Leonel." Sophie said. "Are you sure?"

"I'm not leaving now, I'm leaving by ten else dad would surely punish me for disobeying his rules." Sophie said. "That's okay, I wouldn't want you to get punished because of me." Leonel said. Lily saw Leonel from afar and decided to ask Peterson. "Uncle look at Leonel over there, who is that girl with him?" Lily asked.
