Sophia averted her eyes, brushing past him as though nothing had happened, continuing on her way.

As they brushed past each other, Zephyr abruptly caught her wrist, staring at her. "Sophia."

It was Jonas again.

Seeing her laugh and chat so easily with him stirred up an inexplicable bitterness within him, a mix of heaviness and resentment, as though he were drowning in saltwater. There was no longer a place for him at her side.

Sophia stopped, her expression calm. "If you have something to say, wait until this is over. I still have work to do and am very busy."

Zephyr looked at her for a long moment, then released her hand. "Go, then."

By the time the Golden Phoenix Award Ceremony officially started, he went backstage to find her. Sophia had already disappeared without a trace.

His fists clenched as he returned silently to his seat.

The man next to him pointed at Jonas, who was singing on stage. "That's him?"

Zephyr's expression darkened as he gave a slight nod.

The man scrutinized Jonas thoughtfully. "He's a bit like you, actually."

He wasn't referring to Jonas' looks but rather his aura-a fair-skinned, refined elegance that was reminiscent of a scholarly figure from ancient times.

Zephy glared intently at Jonas on stage, his gaze growing colder.

Meanwhile, Richie, as the victim, attended the mediation meeting alongside Connor and Tristan.

Lenora, wary of crossing paths with Richie, opted not to go and advised Connor to avoid mentioning her.

She was at the Children's Palace with Harrietta, painting, when Connor sent her a message-the mediation had failed.

The supplier had refused to meet the compensation terms proposed by the Morris family.

Their options now were to attempt a second mediation or proceed with a lawsuit to await a judge's ruling.
