Thomas shook his head and asked, "You sound like you want him to be used as a lab rat! Is that what you want?" "No. But hear Dylan! He's part of this family now and...""He's part of what family?" Thomas cut in.Sophia moved closer to Thomas; not wanting to talk to him in front of everyone else, she said, "Come over to the corner; I want to have a word with you. I'm sure you're too busy doing your own thing and that's why Grandpa hasn't told you yet." Thomas shook his head, refusing to move an inch. "Whatever you want to tell me, tell me here, and if it involves annoying Dylan going close to my old man to use him as a lab rat, then it's not going to happen, okay?" He said, causing Sophia to chuckle softly, trying to stay calm because it was taking all the self-control she had in her for her to stay calm."Is there something you have to gain in this? Because you're delaying what should have been done. Dylan went to a medical school in China; he has some knowledge on this!" She said,

"Let go of me, Sophia! Take your hands off him!" Thomas said before she finally let go of his hand,She took in a deep breath, realizing that Thomas was making her act out of character, which was so not right. She ran her hand through her hair and stretched her hand."You're beginning to think highly of yourself, Sophia! You think you can give others and boss everyone around!" He said.A smile instantly appeared on Sophia's face as she responded, "I don't think so, Thomas; I know so!""You know so yet you can't boss me around. "You asked me to leave, but I'm still here," he said."That's because you're a stubborn cock, Thomas. You don't think with what's up in your head; you think with something else," she said, angering Thomas so much that he took a step closer to her and said, "What did you just say to me? If you have the guts, repeat it!"Sophia burst into laughter; it took her a moment before she was able to process what she believed Thomas was thinking."if you have the guts and

Before Victor said anything, Thomas walked into the room and sat next to the old man. His wrist was still hurting, but he couldn't complain about it."I want us to claim Bennett Company in Emma's name," Victor said, causing Thomas to chuckle softly."And what makes you think that Tyler doesn't already have plans for that?" He inquired but got no response."Huh?" Thomas murmured, but Sophia just narrowed her eyes."You know, I really didn't want him to be here, Grandpa, but you insisted that he's part of the family, so he should be present," Sophia complained, causing Thomas to chuckle softly, surprised that Sophia had the audacity to say those words in front of him."Who's the boss? You? You're so hilarious! The second you understand that you're just a pawn in all of this, the better for you, because why the hell will anyone want to include you in something?" she said, causing Thomas to clench his fist tightly.He felt completely offended by Sophia's words, but he closed his eyes, try

Dylan noticed the look on the faces of the spectators. He looked away, ready to leave when suddenly, he was surrounded by paparazzi, who had millions of questions for him."Who is the boss of the Sterling conglomerate?""What position do you hold in this company?""By any chance, can you tell us what your relationship with the mysterious boss of the Sterling conglomerate is?""How well do you know him, and when will he be making his appearance to the world?" They didn't stop, and at the same time, they stood in front of him, stopping him from getting to his car.The security guards quickly intervened, stopping the paparazzi from crowding Dylan and Sophia. They escorted Dylan to his car, with Roseanne following closely, as she too sought to escape the unwanted attention.As Dylan got into the car, he looked out of the window, and his eyes fell on Will Port and Eric speaking to the paparazzi.He scoffed, wondering what they were possibly saying to them."I'm really sorry, Mr. Dylan. I'm

Dylan narrowed his eyes, believing that they were all bluffing. One of the reasons why he was currently with Roseanna was because she intrigued him by how much she knew about his countryside company, a company that he made a secret, and under that mystery, most people started calling it the secret company.Dylan ran his hand through his way, not wanting to go physically in the fight but unfortunately, they gave him no choice."That name doesn't sound like a name worth being scared of," He said and took a step forward. as Harry raised his hand to hit him, Dylan dodge and smoothly held his collar.He then raised him up with just a very firm grip, causing Harry to move his lips in shock and fear, at the same time trying to breathe."What were you saying about regretting some minutes ago?" Dylan asked, arching his brows.Harry wasn't able to talk; the more he struggled, the worse the pain became. "There's nothing I can do now if I don't hear you speak," Dylan said, but Harry still couldn'
