"Thomas has been in this family for years now, and he's been loyal; he was born right before my eyes...""That wasn't the question, Victor; I only want to know how well you trust the man." Dylan cut in, not ready to hear Victor indirectly try to say he trusted him, although he didn't want to say it directly."I trust Thomas," Victor said, causing Dylan to sigh before resting his back on the chair."This is why you still don't know why the numbers aren't adding up. in your end, you see that everything is balanced but in reality, you know that it's not." He said Victor to seat up on his chair before asking,"Is something wrong? Did you observe something?" "Yes, I did but before anything, Micheal, I want you to personally check the books again and do not ignore any meeting; make sure to report every meeting, including the ones that Thomas oversaw himself," he said before pushing his chair back, wanting to stand up."Dylan, if there's something you noticed...""Just do as I have said, Vi

In Victor's office, Sophia sat facing him with a million and one things going through his mind, "What's going on, Grandpa? Is there something that you're not telling me?" She asked, and Victor just shook his head, saying, "Not really." If you're worrying, then you don't have any reason to be, okay? Everything is in control."Sophia arched her brows, not wanting to pry, she nodded, "Okay, but if there's something going on, you can confide in me." You never can tell the little I could be of help in," she said causing Victor to respond with a nod,"Sophia, you don't have to worry. I need you back home for a reason and I just want you to do that instead of worrying about others," He said, causing Sophia to sigh, seeing that there was nothing she could say that would make him open up."Alright then, I could get something to eat; I'm famished. Do you need me to bring anything for you?" She asked and Victor shook his head, saying,"No" They'll be no need for that, I'm fine,"Alright," Sophia

Sophia then stood upright, lifting Emma into her arms. "There's going to come a time when your mommy might want you back...""My mom doesn't like me; she's always listening to Karen and aunt Karen said she said that I and my daddy are just a burden to a career," she cut in."I know, honey, but in time, she'll find out what she has lost, and trust me, she's going to fight for you and find all means to get you. That time, you'll have to hold on to your dad more than ever," she said, causing Emma to just respond with a nod."I'm feeling sleepy now," She said, wanting to play more with her boys."Alright, hon, let me escort you to your room," she suggested, but Emma quickly shook her head, refusing to go because she didn't want Sophia to see the state of her room.It was scattered with so many boys, and she didn't fail to place her Kelly bags on her vanity, wanting to see them every time. Sophia was quite surprised when she told her about the Hermes bags before because she was little, and

Sophia got to Dylan's door and gently knocked on the door twice before she walked into the room.She found Dylan on his bed going through his laptop. "Are you busy?" She asked as she walked closer to him."Is something wrong?" He asked, arching his brows without taking his eyes off his laptop."I saw the news, and... with how everything looked, I'm suspecting that it was you the policeman abused," she responded, causing Dylan to just respond with a nod."Well... I can see the bruises although you're trying to hide it," she said, causing Dylan to sigh."I don't want Emma to know about it. She's sharp and even the slightest conversation can make her start suspecting something and I don't want her to start questioning me and all that," he said, causing Sophia to just nod.Dylan kept his laptop aside and tried to get to his feet but flinched. "The injuries still hurt? Right? You might have to take off your shirt so that the air could touch them," she suggested."You don't have to worry; I

Dylan was worried, but he was able to maintain himself by not letting it show. After Victor fell asleep, Dylan just turned to Micheal and said, "How long has this been going on?""For some time now, sir, but sadly, he's not ready to take anything to remedy it!" Micheal informed sternly causing Dylan to arch his brows, confused."What exactly do you mean? He attends his medical appointment, right?" He asked and Michael responded with a nod."Give me a verbal response," Dylan said, firmly causing Micheal to stand upright because for a minute he was wondering whether or not he should tell Dylan the kind of mail that Victor had been receiving.For some time now, although Victor is not aware of it, Micheal receives mail from the hospital as well because the mail that was registered in the hospital is the Sterling family mail, which no one in the estate had because of how uninterested they are in the family affairs and their specialized field, where money is being spent."I'm sorry, sir.
