Thaddeus furrowed his brow. “It isn’t that I’m keeping you here, Sophia. It’s the fact that you’re also barred from leaving the country. It’s best you stay put and assist with the investigation.”

Sophia looked shocked once more. “What? Why? Why would that involve me? Why am I also being kept from leaving the country?”

Thaddeus took a deep drag from his cigar. “Have you forgotten? Three years ago, you came back for that man and managed some of the companies here. So some of the financial discrepancies happened under your watch. So, you have to stick around and cooperate with the investigation.”

Sophia’s brows knotted together like a pretzel.
