“You’re shocked that it’s me?” Austin walked to her desk with a smile. Austin grinned as he approached her desk. When he saw her bloodshot, puffy and red eyes, he felt indescribable distress. “I happened to pass by your apartment this morning and wanted to try the breakfast prepared by Mrs. Carrie. I didn’t know that you didn’t go home all night because you were working overtime.”“Well, I had to make preparations for Luxford Group’s comeback.” Austin did not attend Carlson Group’s shareholders’ meeting yesterday because of his status, but she believed that he and the Carlsons’ family members had already received the news.“I understand. I just think that it’s too demanding and taxing on you.”Sophie’s smile froze, and she subconsciously avoided his kind and worried gaze. When Austin saw her dodging, he coughed awkwardly and put the thermos flask in his hand on the table and said, “Mrs. Carrie asked me to bring this to you. Drink it while it’s hot to replenish your strength for the

“Miss, we are about to—” Linda strode in excitedly on high heels without waiting for Sophie’s response. However, she halted mid-sentence when she saw Austin in the bathroom. She was so shocked that she could not look away.The bathroom in the chairman’s office was such a private place. Why was Austin there?To avoid creating needless confusion, Sophie hastily moved aside, held out her hand, and said, “I scalded my hand just now, so I placed it under running cold water.”“Oh, are you okay?”Linda swiftly filled in the rest of the story in her head as she cast a quick glance at Austin, who was in the bathroom, and the boiling soup on the table. She appeared to have come at the wrong time.“It seems that you have business to discuss, so I’ll get out of your hair. Sophie, I want to take you somewhere to unwind this weekend, and I have something to say to you as well. Will you come?”Sophie was dumbfounded. She looked at the man who was walking out of the bathroom and wanted to declin

Evander suddenly came to a realization and said, “Luxford Group has become the largest controlling shareholder of Carlson Group now, and the stock price will probably break a new high even if we make up for the previous drop.”Cedric closed his laptop. There was a hint of ruthlessness in his malevolent gaze as he said, “Let people keep an eye on them, and stop those idlers who want to take advantage of the opportunity to buy Luxford Group’s stocks in large quantities when the time is right.”The price of Luxford Group's stock could not be manipulated by outsiders, regardless of how much it rose or fell.“I got it. It’s just that…”When Cedric saw that his confidant, who had been following him for many years, was hesitant to speak for the first time, he raised his brows, looked at him, and asked, “Evander, what do you want to say?”“I have a lot of questions. Mr. Cedric, I'm curious as to whether your wife is the reason you're assisting the Luxfords so much, or are you doing this j

Tiffany glanced at Darren, who was next to her. He was extremely skinny, but he was still drinking coffee with half the sugar and pretending to be on a diet.Darren noticed her gaze and immediately glared at her. He then glanced at her cup of milky white latte with contempt and curled his lips in disdain. Some people deserved to be fat. Sophie took note of their reactions, smiled composedly, and kept her attention on the subject at hand. “I’ve seen the products designed by the two of you before. They never have the same design and are always full of new inspiration. Since few designers are capable of this, I would love to have both of you join Luxford Group. Luxford Group will give you our full support so that the two of you can produce more stunning designs.”All innovations were tens of millions of times more difficult than maintaining success. There were classics in the current market, but creativity was always appreciated. Luxford Group was losing ground due to a lack of creati

“Of course I do. He’s known me and Darren for many years now.” Tiffany turned around and kept smiling after she glared at Darren’s leaving figure.“Did you agree to come over for a discussion because he spoke highly of Luxford Group?” Sophie wanted a clear answer, but she didn’t expect to get an even more affirmative answer instead. “Austin didn’t mention Luxford Group, but he kept praising you. We’ve known him for many years now, and we’ve never heard him praise a woman. Do you get what I mean, young lady?” Tiffany gave Sophie a shoulder pat while grinning. Sophie smiled forcefully and said, “I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m his sister-in-law.”“Oh, this relationship will no longer exist after you and Cedric get divorced, so anything is possible.”Sophie was dumbfounded. She was not interested in such a possibility, though.After sending Tiffany off with a forced smile, Sophie did not look particularly thrilled when she returned to her office. “Miss Sophie, why don’t you

"Screams and laughter provide release and relaxation, Sophie. That's exactly what you need right now," Austin asserted.Hearing this, Sophie asked, "Is that why you brought me here and helped persuade Tiffany and Darren to work for Luxford Group?"Austin didn't expect her to learn about his efforts behind the signing so soon, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. "I'm sorry. I didn't know if you'd like this approach, but I hope I can help share a little bit of your burden.""There's no need to apologize. I should be the one to say thank you, Austin. I'm really happy to have you as a friend, and I hope our friendship will last forever," Sophie replied as she looked up into his eyes.No matter if it was a misunderstanding or something else, there were things she hoped Austin could understand.In this lifetime, she did not want to get involved in a romantic relationship with another man from the Carlsons.Austin naturally understood the implications in her words. A fl

When they passed the children's shooting kiosk, Sophie was drawn to a small wooden carving displayed in the prize area. It was the first time she had seen a wedding-themed wooden carving of a man and woman.There was another reason, too. The carving made her feel as if she were reliving her own wedding with Cedric more than three years ago.He had given her the loving gaze, the kiss, the diamond ring, and the consummation of their marriage on the wedding night that she had always anticipated. However, he had not given her the true love she had been expecting for a long time."Do you want that wooden carving?" Austin's gaze was gentle, and he had a unique soldier's insight.Before Sophie could respond to his question, he had already picked up the small air rifle beside him. "Hey, sir, give me 30 bullets.""Sir, you have to pay for the bullets," the kiosk owner pointed to a sign in the corner.Countless people came to challenge every day, most leaving without any prizes, so the own

"28, 29!" Sophie remained oblivious to the encroaching danger, her eyes fixed on a distant target, anticipating a miraculous moment just seconds away.Two gunshots reverberated through the shooting range almost simultaneously. The final bullet, destined for the target, veered off course, deflected by another shot.Frowning, Sophie turned her gaze toward the unexpected disruption. What she saw stunned her as if an electric shock had rendered her motionless.Cedric gripped a rifle in one hand, a smirk playing on his lips, tinted with mockery and sarcasm. His disdainful gaze swept past Sophie's pale face and locked onto Austin. "Austin, it seems that your marksmanship has regressed?"Austin was taken aback, not expecting to encounter Cedric at the amusement park. Subconsciously, he lowered his head and frowned as he noticed the child watching eagerly beside Cedric."Cedric, don't be ridiculous," Austin retorted."I'm just trying to win a new toy here. How is this a ridiculous act?"
