Xante adjusted her gold-rimmed spectacles calmly and said, “Francine told me that our

boss encountered Sophia when she went to pick up the children today.”

Aaron’s expression froze. “When did that woman return to the country? None of our

people noticed that.”

Xante narrowed her eyes thoughtfully and replied, “She obviously knows that we’ve been

keeping an eye on her over the years. She has a strong sense of vigilance, and her family

power in Molomia is such that they are fully capable of avoiding us. She has every means

of returning to the country undetected. According to Francine, she claimed to be married

and was holding a child in her arms. Francine came to us because she wants us to find out

who her husband is.”

Aaron sat across from Xante and mused, “I didn’t think she got married so secretively. Our

men have been keeping an eye on her, but no one has ever seen any man with her. Could

it be—”

Xante was well aware of what Aaron was insinuating and immediately cautioned, “We

can’t jump to any conclusions just yet. Have someone to find out several things: the hotel

she’s currently staying in, her husband’s background, and the reason for her return to the

country.”

Aaron raised his hand and made an ‘OK’ gesture. “Consider it done.”

Aaron left the room to make the necessary calls. After a few minutes, he returned and

reported, “I found out that Sophia’s family of three is staying at Exeter Hotel in the city

center. They’re accompanied by about a dozen of Adam’s most professional bodyguards.”

Xante raised an eyebrow in intrigue. “And her husband’s identity?”

“There’s hardly any usable information at the moment.” Aaron shook his head. “I only

found the name Zachary Finnix.”

That name brought disappointment to Xante. They made some progress in finding out the

name of the husband, but it was not the person they had been for many years.

Aaron added, “I also received some reliable information that Adam is considering

retirement and plans to hand over the entire family business to his daughter, Sophia.

She’s willing to take over her father’s business, which is why she returned to the country

to sell off some of the company’s assets. She wants to pull everything out of the country

and never return.”

Xante pondered over that information in silence. The domestic market held significant

potential for growth, yet Sophia was willing to dispose of those assets completely.

At Exeter Hotel.

It took Jeremy an hour to finish his shower. He had limited use of his legs and feet, so

dressing up was a very time-consuming task. After he had put on his clothes, he returned

to his wheelchair and spent some time drying his hair before leaving the bathroom.

Sophia had already fed their son, Benjamin, and put him to sleep. Seeing the man emerge

from the bathroom, she wore a disappointed frown as she said, “I understand you’re

concerned about your physical disability, Zachary, but you and I are husband and wife. I’m

not put off by what happened. It’s dangerous for you to take a bath alone, so please don’t

avoid me like this. Let me take care of you. Please just give it a try!”

The man rolled the wheelchair to the bed and glanced deeply at his peacefully sleeping

son. “I just don’t want to be a burden to anyone.”

Sophia could not hide her sorrow and inadvertently raised her voice. “You’re not a burden

to me, Zachary!”

The sleeping child frowned, seemingly disturbed by the conversation. Zachary, too,

frowned and brought a finger to his lips. He gestured for Sophia to speak softly and

extended his hand to pat his son’s back. In doing so, he wanted to encourage his son to

sleep peacefully.

The boy’s frown gradually relaxed, and he sank into a deep slumber.
