I stood there with the folder containing the ownership documents tucked neatly under my arm while looking at the couple standing before me.

    SONIA'S POVThe moment the luxury vehicle rolled through the massive iron gates of the Davenport Mansion.I felt a small portion of the tension in my chest begin to loosen.It was not because I was happy.Far from it.The anger burning inside me was still very much alive. Ever since the disaster involving the poisoned wine and our arrest, I had been unable to think about anything else. Every memory of the incident made my blood boil.The vehicle finally came to a stop in front of the mansion's grand entrance.Before the driver could step out and open the door for me, I pushed it open myself and climbed out.Greg quickly followed behind me.Neither of us spoke as we walked toward the entrance. Several servants standing by the doorway immediately bowed respectfully."Welcome home, Miss Davenport," one of them greeted."Welcome, Mr. Winchester," another servant added.I barely acknowledged them.At that moment, all I wanted was to get inside.The moment Greg and I stepped into the eno

    Sonia’s POVThe moment Greg and I were finally allowed to leave the police station, I felt a mixture of anger, humiliation, and frustration boiling inside me.The entire situation had been a nightmare.One moment, we had an important meeting with the vice president concerning helping Greg get back from his suspension. The next moment, we found ourselves sitting inside a police station.Being questioned because of a poisoned bottle of wine that neither of us knew anything about.The mere memory of it made my blood boil.I stormed out of the station building without looking back.My heels clicked sharply against the pavement as I walked away from the station.Behind me, I could hear Greg calling my name repeatedly."Sonia!"I ignored him.My pace only increased."Sonia, wait!"I continued walking.Honestly, I did not trust myself to speak at that moment.I was furious.Humiliated.And exhausted."Sonia!"Greg called again.Still, I refused to answer.Several officers standing near the

    The moment I stepped out of the private chamber and returned to the main auction hall.I immediately noticed that the atmosphere inside the room had changed completely.Earlier, I had been treated like an unwanted guest.People had looked at me with contempt.Some had mocked me openly.Others had laughed behind my back.Now, however, those same people were staring at me very differently.The moment I emerged from the private chamber with the signed ownership documents in my hand, conversations throughout the hall began to die down.Heads turned in my direction.Several people whispered among themselves.Others simply stared openly.Honestly, it was amusing how quickly people's opinions changed once money entered the conversation.I continued walking calmly toward the exit without paying attention to any of them.However, I had barely taken a few steps before somebody suddenly rushed toward me."Mr. Storm!"I stopped walking.The voice sounded familiar.Very familiar.I turned my head

"Everybody knows that by now."Her fiancé nodded in agreement."Exactly," he added. "The company has already been sold. We heard that before we came upstairs."The woman folded her arms across her chest."So stop wasting our time with your nonsense and move aside."I looked at her calmly.Honestly, her attitude had not changed at all.Even after the mysterious rashes had appeared on her face earlier, she still carried herself with the same arrogan

    Then I stepped forward calmly while the entire auction hall remained trapped in absolute silence.The shock hanging in the air was tangible.Moments earlier, people had been laughing at me.They had mocked me.They had treated me like an intruder who somehow wandered into a room reserved for people they considered important.Now, those same people were staring at me as though they had just seen a ghost.Not a single person seemed capable of speaking.Even the woman who had spent the entire evening ridiculing me looked completely frozen in her seat.Her mouth hung slightly open.Her eyes were wide.The confidence she had displayed only moments ago had vanished completely.I paid no attention to any of them.Instead, I walked directly toward the stage.My footsteps echoed softly throughout the hall.Every pair of eyes followed me.The CEO was still standing there holding the microphone.His face had become stiff with disbelief.Honestly, I could not blame him.After all, a man who had a

    The woman beside me stood proudly with a victorious smile on her face as people congratulated her from every direction. Several guests nodded toward her with admiration, while others whispered among themselves about her impressive financial strength.The confidence on her face was impossible to miss.After all, she had just publicly declared that she possessed sixty billion dollars and was willing to spend twenty-five billion of it to acquire Hi-Tech Power.To everyone present, her victory already seemed guaranteed.The applause gradually began to die down.One by one, people returned to their seats.The excited murmuring remained, but it became softer.That was when I finally rose to my feet.The movement immediately attracted attention.At first, only a few people noticed.Then more heads began turning.Within seconds, almost everyone seated around my section was staring at me.The woman beside me frowned.Clearly, she had not expected me to stand up.I calmly adjusted my suit jack
