The next day, Kael left the East Coast.]
I breathed a sigh of relief.[]
Everything returned to normal.]

I also had to make time for dates with Grayson.[]
Two weeks later, Jake came to my office.[]
After looking around, he leaned against my desk with a smile.

“Of course. You better work harder, or all the family assets will be mine. The battle for succession has always been this way.“[]
Jake laughed heartily.[]
After a while, his voice sounded again.[]
“Kael moved his company business to the East Coast.“[]
My typing fingers paused.]
“Whatever.“[
Seeing my stable emotions, Jake felt relieved and left.[]

When I arrived, besides Jake, everyone inside was our friends.[]
“What’s this gathering about?” I asked with a smile as I sat down.[]

I sat in the corner where the lighting was dim, so she didn’t notice me.]
As everyone took turns toasting Sophia, I suddenly understood.]]

Sophia’s smile looked worse than crying as she said she wasn’t feeling well and really couldn’t drink anymore.[]
But no one indulged her.[]
She took out her phone to make a call.]
Someone snatched the phone away, asking with a laugh:[]
“Looking for your dear brother Kael?“]

“Is Kael really that good to you, the Reed family’s adopted daughter?“]
Sophia curled up into a ball amid the laughter.]]

He took a sip of his drink, his voice as cold as ice in whiskey.[]
“Kael, you think only you have a sister? Only your sister is precious as a pearl?”
He smashed his glass on the floor.

“Next time we meet, we’ll be enemies.“]]
Kael’s expression changed.]]
But given the setting and Sophia’s presence, he could only leave first.[]
