No matter what they tried to do to salvage the situation that they were in, nothing seemed to be working and, not to mention, they had not yet found the identity of the man behind Bennett corporation.

But as soon as they stepped inside the large living room, they were welcomed by the aroma of something special emanating from the kitchen.

Both men were stunned, knowing fully well that they hadn't had a decent meal to eat at home for days now, and today it seemed like a feast.

Max walks over to the kitchen with Henry suspiciously following behind, hearing the sound of a female humming. And realizing that it was Sophia, this got them even more confused.

For a moment there, she seemed even more confused.Ethan was reluctant to speak to her, but after a deep breath, he finally turned around as he held her shoulder.“There is something that has been going on which I didn't want to tell you about since I was afraid that you would become extremely worried.”“What

She was a model and, not to mention the fact that she had been involved in a few scandals lately, it was only natural for her to be familiar with her.But what Sasha could not comprehend was how Ethan would be familiar with someone like Sophia Steele, and she could see the uneasy feeling on his face.“How can someone like you be able to get in here?” Sophia asked, her eyes brimming with intimidation. Brian had just landed more wealth and, for her, she felt like she was on top of the world.“Sophia, please, I don't want any trouble. How about you go ahead?”“Trouble, of course, I am not here to cause trouble. I was only hoping to have a good meal, yet I had to meet you here and, since we haven't met in a while, wouldn't it be nice for all of us to stay at one table?”She suggested, her gaze turned to Brian, who seemed to have liked the idea.

    Ethan crossed his legs while he felt so relaxed as he watched the wines and food being served to them. He was very conscious of the price of this wine and couldn't wait to see the amount of wealth that Brian had acquired for him to be able to afford this wine.“So, Miss. Sophia, how do you know Ethan here?” Sasha tends to grow more curious seeing the cold attitude both Brian and Sophia have been displaying.“He was my ex-husband, my broke ex who had nothing, yet I took him in and fed him. At a point, I just couldn't continue and had to let go of him.”She shrugged, staring down at Ethan, yet he remained calm, a blank expression on his face.“Ethan, are you okay sitting here and watching them treat you in such a manner?”“It's fine, I have been here on several occasions, and I am used to it”, he assured her as he whispered to her, and the more he stared at her and the concern in her eyes, Ethan was starting to believe that she was truly not a spy.Sophia and Brian enjoyed themselves so

    Once Henry and Max arrived back home, they realized that Sophia was not yet back home. With the thought that she was having fun with Brian out there, they both fell on the couch with a sigh of exhaustion.“So Dad, what do you think about Brian's proposal?”“It's a good one if it works, but I think that even though the Bennet might be involved in what happened to us, going after them might be a wrong move because we might just end up provoking them further.”“Is that all you are worried about in the whole situation?” Max furrowed his brows as he stared at his dad in disbelief, but Henry seemed more confused while he stared at his son.“Is there supposed to be something else that I would be worried about?”“Brian invested a huge amount of money into our company and, despite it all, it all went down the drain, anyone would be so angry about this, yes he was angry when he came to my office two days ago and was seeking help from me and today, he walks in here with a lot of money and a prop
