Chapter 73

"Sophia! What on earth are you doing here?" Olivia Lancaster burst into the café.

"Everyone's been looking for you!"

Before Sophia could respond, Olivia grabbed her arm with an impatient grip.

"Grandmother wants to see you. Now," she demanded, her tone dripping with irritation.

Taken aback by her cousin's abruptness, Sophia pulled her arm free. "Olivia, what's going on? Why are you acting like this?"

Olivia scoffed, crossing her arms. "Don't play innocent. You disappear when the family needs you most? Typical."

"Disappear?" Sophia echoed. "I wasn't aware anyone needed me."

"Maybe if you paid attention to something other than yourself, you'd know," Olivia snapped.

Alex glanced between them. "Perhaps you should explain what's happening."

Olivia shot him a withering look. "You loser, this is a family matter. Stay out of it.”

Sophia squared her shoulders. "Alex is my husband. Anything involving me involves him."

"Fine," Olivia huffed. "Just hurry up. You're holding everyone else back."

Reluctantly, Sophia stood up. "Alright, let's go."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for the brief delay. Please enjoy the refreshments while we address a minor matter. We are awaiting Miss Sophia Lancaster's return to resume her position as CEO. Rest assured, our partnership with Kingston remains strong."

As Sophia walked to the hall, escorted by Olivia, her family stood near the entrance-her parents, Lady Amelia, Malvin, and Mike-all wearing expressions ranging from anxious to furious.

Mike stormed toward her, his eyes flashing with anger.

"So, you think you can undermine us by going behind our backs to Kingston?" he hissed. "Do you believe the Lancaster Group belongs solely to you?"

Sophia stared at him, genuinely perplexed.
