Simon appeared disgruntled, yet he still showed respect to the guests. He nodded in acknowledgment.
"I'm sorry, Simon." Graham spoke up. "Sophia was living abroad and is not very proficient in the language. She
might have used the wrong words unintentionally."
Simon expressed his concern, "Si, I've watched you grow. You've never disappointed your parents. How did you—"
Graham interrupted, "Alright, Simon. I'll handle it. You should take a rest."
Simon could only exit the room.
Just as Sophia was about to voice her complaint, Graham looked at her sternly. "Simon is the longest- serving butler

Sophia retorted, "Are you blaming me now?" She looked pitiful and burst into tears. "I knew you'd eventually side
with your parents and exclude me and our son! We're not welcome in this house. I'm leaving with James!"
"Sophia..."
Graham quickly intervened, his anger dissipating. He comforted and reassured her until she stopped crying.
He then sat at the dining table, placing James on his lap and feeding him like a loving father.
Sophia couldn't help but smile—her dramatic outburst had achieved its intended effect.
She had no intention of leaving the Bayers. After all, why would she leave when she had secured her place in this

She stood behind him and hugged him, rubbing her cheek against his. "Graham, the company in Armania... Is it a
lost cause?"
He paused and appeared troubled.
"Did you talk to your father? Can the headquarters provide financial support?" she asked.
"My dad doesn't think it's a good idea," he replied as he had been advised. "But my mom believes that the overseas
market isn't our strong suit. It's best to take this opportunity to withdraw completely..."
Sophia widened her eyes. "What? How can we do that?!"
This wasn't what she had in mind. She had hoped that Graham would cancel the wedding, allowing them to acquire

"Graham, if the headquarters can't support us, we'll have to find our own solution!"
He was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
She smiled and leaned in to whisper, "Do you know Fat Lawler? I've been talking to him recently. He's in Cumulus
City and is auctioning off two mining sites."
"Mining sites?"
"Yes! Minerals are currently selling at a low price. Can't we profit substantially if we buy low and sell high? I've heard
that some Centrolis companies are interested too.
"Don't worry. I'll continue negotiating with Fat Lawler to secure the best possible deal. We won't miss this
opportunity!"
