Chapter 60


    Sofia wiped her face, trying to clear her mind from the overwhelming stress.


    She felt the creeping anxiety and a myriad of conflicting emotions.


    She could never ept the heroism of betrayal.


    She needed to reschedule the meeting with Fnds to exin thetest developments. Tankseat supported the sudden change of ns, but Sofia was unsure of the exact ramifications. Nevertheless, she moved forward with her decisions.


    "This is not just about cutting contact; it''s about maintaining professionalism," she thought, feeling the burden of responsibility weighing on her shoulders.


    Sofia started to say something but hesitated. Instead of talking, she looked directly at the older man before her. She had no intention of letting him control the narrative.


    "I''ll handle this," she muttered, steeling herself for the confrontation.


    "Let''s talk about the photos," she began.


    "We don''t need to discuss it now," he interrupted.


    Sofia''s temper red. "You refused to let me marry Daniel Beaumont," she used.


    "Our grandmother just gave you the photos when you told her about the engagement. Why would she suddenly hand those over unless she had ulterior motives?" Alexander''s name lingered in the air.


    "Your grandmother has always hated me," Charlene interjected. "She never wanted us together."


    "That''s not entirely true," Sofia shot back. "This isn''t about hate; it''s about power and control."


    Charlene and Lawrence exchanged nces. "We all know this is about you and Charlene," Lawrence finally said. "Your grandmother thinks your mother and I... that we wanted to take you away."


    Lawrence made a gesture to his secretary, who promptly ced a folder in front of Sofia. She opened it and her expression changed instantly. "You''re suing me for my mother’s health care?" she asked incredulously.


    "It''s not about the power of attorney," Lawrence replied calmly. "I just want to ensure my wife is properly taken care of."


    "You''re the one who ced her in a facility run by a psychopath," Sofia retorted, closing the folder with a sharp snap.


    "I had no knowledge of Dr. Mche''s actions," Lawrence protested.


    "And you think the court will believe that?" Sofia hissed. She saw no reason to be cordial anymore.


    Lawrence''s face turned ugly for a moment, but he quicklyposed himself and smiled. "It seems your grandmother taught you well. To be honest, I''m quite disappointed. All I wanted was to see your mother, my wife."


    Sofia''s headache intensified, and she wanted to get this over with. "The only reason grandmother hasn’t kicked you out of thepany is because of my mother. Don''t ruin that. I don’t want to see my mother’s face when she realizes that her husband is no longer in thepany she loved most."


    She knew Enda hadn’t kicked Lawrence out because she suspected he was working with the real people responsible for her husband''s death.


    "My mother will remain in that ce until the doctors tell me what’s wrong with her," Sofia dered. "I''ve asked them to study the diagnosis and examinations that Dr. Mch did. I''ll do everything to make that man rot in hell."


    Sadly, that might not happen anytime soon. However, she was hopeful that Hugo would help her mother out.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Lawrence shook his head. "I hope you tell your grandmother that she already seeded in breaking up my family. She won." With that, Lawrence got up and walked out of her office without another word.


    Once he left, Sofia immediately leaned back in her chair, closing her eyes.


    Lawrence had been working with LH GROUP for so long that he had earned the trust and perhaps loyalty of a few members of thepany. Meanwhile, her grandmother wasn''t focusing on thepany right now; she was determined to find out who killed her husband.


    Sofia felt helpless.


    Now that she had shown her fangs to Lawrence, she had to prove that she wasn’t all bark. She needed to show him that she could bite too!
