The next day, Sophia returned from the Tortell residence.

She shoved her suitcase to the side and collapsed onto the couch, irritably massaging her forehead. She looked utterly exhausted.
"What's wrong?" Lenora poured a cup of water and casually handed it to her.
Sophia heaved a long sigh, a depressing aura emitting from her.
She had always been full of life, facing everything with a smile. It was the first time Lenora had seen her in
this state.
"Soph, what's really going on? Are your parents not feeling well?"
Sophia lowered her gaze, her expression listless. "Nora, do you think all men are creatures who think with what's below their waist!"
A disturbing suspicion suddenly rose in Lenora's mind
Sophia laughed sarcastically. "I just found out my dad had an affair and has a son who's already in college! No wonder he's been pushing me to get married!"
Although she had anticipated it, Lenora-couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression. She hadn't expected that the kind man she remembered would also cheat in his marriage.
Lenora embraced Sophia, offering her, her shoulder. "Don't be upset."
Sophia remained silent.
Lenora stared at the ceiling and said, "When I was very young, my parents divorced. After my mom left, she never returned. I can barely remember what she looked like, only a few brief images... 1 later heard rumors in the village that my mom had another man, which is why my dad divorced her... I've had my moments of sorrow, confusion, frustration. I remember thinking, if I ever had the chance to see her again, I would certainly ask her why... But I never got the chance to see her again. She probably has long since forgotten all about me."
Sophia lifted her head from her shoulder. "You're far more pitiful than I am..
Indeed, comparison is the thief of joy.
At the very least, her father had provided her with a comfortable life, allowing her to enjoy over twenty years as an only child.
"So you see, there's nothing we can't get through. What's done is done. Life goes on. We need to think carefully about our next move."
"Our next move?" Sophia sneered. "Don't think I'm clueless. He wants to marry me off, give me a little dowry, and leave the rest of the family fortune to his mistress' son. Dream on! If he wants to have a child outside, fine, but I won't let him touch a single penny of the Tortell family's wealth!"
"So, what do you plan on doing next?"

"I don't know," Sophia said hesitantly.
Dreams were plentiful, yet reality was stark.

She had once lived a carefree life, fully engrossed in her own hobbies. Her father, David Tortell, never forced her to join the family business, which resulted in her current lack of understanding about the company's operations. She feared it would be challenging to convince him to leave the company in her hands.
"Hmm... don't appear overly resistant right now. Keep a low profile," Lenora advised earnestly.
"I know." Sophia burst into laughter. "The way you put it, it's as if I'm the unloved prince from a novel"
""More or less."
Sophia took a sip of water, casually draping her arm over Lenora's shoulder. "Enough about me. I noticed on Connor's Instagram that you two broke up. Why is that?"
"Well... it's a long story...
"Let's cut to the chase then."
Lenora recounted to Sophia what had transpired at the hot spring resort.
Sophia looked shocked, patting her on the shoulder. "All right then, if it's over, it's over. Someone with a poor tolerance for alcohol is bound to run into trouble sooner or later. "Actually... it's not that he has a poor tolerance for alcohol: Zachary set him up..."
"Huh?" Sophia's mouth fell open. "Tyrant Fuller is truly insane. He's inhumane!"
Lenora chuckled.
She felt the same way too.
"By the way, I remember seeing the news when I arrived. Tyrant Fuller has become the chairman of Fuller Group, right?"
With a raised eyebrow, Lenora picked up her phone and went on Twitter. Without even needing to search specifically, she immediately saw the trending topic at the top of the list. Zachary had indeed returned to Fuller Group. The group's official account announced that he would be the group's chairman starting that day.
Perhaps Fuller Group had been going through a tough time recently.
Regardless, it had nothing to do with Lenora, so she promptly shut off her phone.
"Has Hattie gone home?"
"No, she's sleeping inside." Lenora pointed toward the room. "She wants to go on a cultural excursion with
me."
"Is Fiona going?"

"Yeah, I've already asked her."
"Then I want to go too!"
At a certain club, the elevator stopped on the first floor and the doors swung open.
Zachary stepped inside and pressed the button to close the door.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, an arm reached in. Sensing the obstruction, the elevator doors immediately slid open to either side.
A young man stood by the elevator, impeccably dressed in a deep blue suit, a black jacket casually draped over his arm.
When the elevator doors opened, he glanced inside. His gaze unintentionally met with Zachary for a brief moment before he lowered his eyes and stepped into the elevator, moving to the side. Zachary also withdrew his gaze and focused straight ahead.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a shout echoed from outside. "Wait."
The young man immediately reached out, pressing the open button.
Miles hurried in, clutching his chest as he caught his breath. Turning to the person beside him, he said. "Mr. Fuller. Ive fetched your phone"
As he spoke, he handed over the phone.
After holding it up for quite some time and seeing that Zachary still didn't take it, Miles looked up. "Mr
His voice abruptly halted.
He stood frozen with his mouth agape for a couple of seconds.
The person before his eyes was not Zachary
Zachary cleared his throat.
When Miles turned his head, he realized that Zachary was right there.
"Sorry about that." He gave the young man a sheepish smile, then handed the phone to Zachary. "Mr. Fuller, here's your phone." Zachary looked up at him, his gaze causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
"Mm:
He took the phone and slipped it into his pocket, his gaze inadvertently meeting with the young standing nearby.
Their eyes met, and the tension in the air was palpable.
Neither of them shifted their gaze.

The elevator was steeped in silence.
Miles felt that the atmosphere was extraordinarily heavy and somber.
He held his breath, stealing a glance at the young man

The young man was quite tall, standing almost at the same height as Zachary, who was six feet tall. His neatly tailored suit and expressionless face made him look cold.
Upon glancing once more. Miles noticed that the young man bore a striking resemblance to Zachary in both his facial features and physique. That was why he had mistaken him earlier.
The young man gave Zachary a once-over, his gaze filled with a certain kind of contempt. "Zachary
Fuller!"
Zachary slightly raised an eyebrow. "Ezekiel Hoffman?
With a smile, Ezekiel said. "I heard that you've become the chairman of Fuller Group today. Congratulations."
"Thank you. From what I understand, there's been some friction between Fuller Group and the Hoffman family in the business world. Mr. Hoffman, would you be interested in heading up for a couple of dricks?" Ding!
The elevator doors slid open
Ezekiel wore a calm expression and said, "I'm sorry, I have other matters to attend to. Well talk another time when the opportunity arises.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and exited the elevator.
The elevator doors closed, leaving only Zachary and Miles inside.
Miles finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I apologize, Mr. Fuller. I mistook someone else for you earlier."
"It's okay"
"But Mr. Hoffman truly bears some resemblance to you"
"Really?" Zachary raised an eyebrow. "I couldn't tell, but he seemed to hold quite a grudge against me."
Though Ezekiel didn't show it explicitly, Zachary still noticed it immediately.
He even suspected that the several attempts by the Hoffman family to seize the projects of Fuller Group were orchestrated by Ezekiel from behind the scenes. Why he harbored animosity toward the Fuller family remained a mystery.
