Although Sophie wasn't fond of Ricardo, she took his advice to heart.

It was clear that Ricardo had been entangled with Minton International over the years. Still, he managed to keep it under wraps so well that even Gordon couldn't uncover the connection between Ricardo and Minton International.

Sophie made it her mission to identify every entrepreneur from Devonport who attended the Minton International gala that evening. Some were faces she had seen before, and others were listed on the Forbes Richest list, indicating that everyone here was either wealthy or of high status. It was no wonder Minton International had managed to stay on top for so many years with so many vested interests.

As Sophie was focused on remembering everyone present, she unexpectedly bumped into someone. She was startled and took a few steps back before realizing it was Harold, even though he was wearing a mask.

Sophie paused, and so did Harold, momentarily taken aback.

Quickly, Harold masked his emotions and pretended not to know Sophie, murmuring an apology before walking past her.

As Sophie watched Harold walk away, she noticed his flamboyant suit jacket and entire outfit, which made him look like a slick rascal, especially with his hair dyed red again.

If not for her familiarity with Harold, Sophie might not have recognized him.

She remembered that Harold was supposed to be back in training with his team by now. Could Harold's secret mission be related to Minton International?
