After leaving the hotel, Sophia and Brandon also headed back home.
When everyone was saying their goodbyes at the hotel, Louis, Martin, and Marian were the first to take off, followed by Don and
Ivan.
Don could never have imagined that such an absurd situation would happen to Sophia.
The gift she originally intended for the elderly, which wasn't delivered as hoped, not only fell into someone else’s hands but also
inadvertently becan offering to Marian's filial piety.
No matter what the outcwas, the initial sentiments attached to the gift were tarnished.
He was at a loss for how to comfort Sophia and could only offer sfeeble words of consolation: " Rest assured, whether it's
Brandon or myself, we will see justice done for you."
But Sophia was a lot calmer.
She smiled and thanked him, "Thanks, Mr. Dempsey."
Don cracked a smile and, seeing Brandon there, opted not to linger. He bid his farewells to both Brandon and Sophia before
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtleaving, and didn’t forget to beckon Ivan, who had been watching Sophia with tender eyes.
The entire affair had been managed by Brandon, leaving Ivan no room to interject. But he was just as sympathetic and caring
towards Sophia.
He did not attempt to hide these feelings.
Don saw it, and so did Brandon.
When Don summoned him, Ivan finally reacted to the whole fiasco. He nodded slightly and then said his goodbyes to Sophia in a
soft voice, "I'll be taking off with Mr. Dempsey. You take care and don't hesitate to callif you need anything."
Such words could easily be misunderstood.
"Thanks," Sophia replied politely, maintaining a careful distance.
Brandon glanced at Sophia and then at Ivan.
"Mr. Evert, | appreciate your concern," Brandon said coolly. "However, | don’t think we'll need to trouble you for now. Thank you for
the offer though. You should get srest."
Ivan gave him a look but didn't respond. He exchanged a final goodbye with Sophia before departing with Don.
Brandon then turned, scooped up Theresa, and softly said to Sophia, "Let's go."
She nodded gently, following Brandon to the car.
Their unavoidable encounter with Ivan, who was still there, took place in the underground parking garage.
He was seated in his vehicle, on the phone.
Brandon caught a glimpse of Ivan and couldn't help but recall the sight of Sophia arriving at the event with Ivan, as well as the two
empty seats the Evert Group's bidding team had left for them.
He didn't want to read too much into it, but that image still irked him, and his handsface tensed a bit.
Sophia, holding Theresa in the back seat, noticed the look Brandon gave Ivan and the slight tension on the side of his face.
The slight pause in his stride and the cold tone in his voice when he had seen her with Ivan had already betrayed his feelings.
She knew Brandon had misunderstood something.
But she hesitated, wondering whether to clarify things.
Her emotions had been a whirlwind since the night before.
Ever since Aaron sent her that recording of his clash with Daniel, she had been upset, especially knowing that Aaron's actions had

She couldn't imagine what Brandon must have felt, sitting in the hospital with Daniel's fate hanging in the balance, but she
couldn't help but feel pained for him, especially when he had gone to such lengths to protect her today.
The nicer he was to her, the more her heart ached.
She understood all too well what it felt like to be caught in the middle.
Marriage was never just about two people.
When it's not right, it's not right. Sometimes a short pain is better than a long one.
