Chapter 48

• Sophia swept into the Hamilton Group's headquarters, her heels clicking on the marble floor. The employees couldn't help but stare as she passed by, their whispers and curious glances following her like a trail. Sophia didn't bat an eyelid, accustomed to the attention.

Victoria’s bright smile was a failed attempt at warmth as Sophia simply ignored her. Her expression to her father was neutral while James glared at her with his usual disapproval. George Sterling stood at the head of the table, his expression unreadable.
