Stephanie glanced at Sebastian with a worried expression. “Why on earth are you making Sofia marry Richard?” she asked, her voice tinged with anxiety.

Henry, the butler, had arranged for all the things they had brought back to be moved inside. There was so much stuff–some belonged to Stephanie, and some to Sofia.

Every time they visited Beth and Michael, they returned with a treasure trove of items. Beth adored Sofia and Stephanie and always saved the best things

for them.

Sebastian pulled Stephanie into his arms, his grip gentle but firm. “Of course, it’s to deal with any potential competitors,” he said, his tone light yet

serious.

But Stephanie had never felt that way about Richard. She couldn’t understand the whole competitor stuff.

“What? Really?” she exclaimed, her eyes widening in disbelief. “You’d put our sister in a difficult spot over someone who’s not even a rival? No way, I’m going to call her and tell her not to go through with this wedding.”

‘Are you kidding me? Is this something worth sacrificing Sofia’s entire future for?‘ Stephanie thought and reached for her phone, determined to call Sofia and stop the wedding.

However, at the next moment, Sebastian snatched the phone from her hand. “What are you thinking? I was just joking,” he said, his eyes twinkling with

amusement.

Stephanie was left speechless.

“Now Richard and Sofia are both facing some trouble,” Sebastian continued, his tone softening. “Maybe this marriage could help resolve some issues. It’s just a coincidence.”

Stephanie’s eyes widened in shock. She knew Richard was in trouble–Lottie had told her. But Sofia was in trouble too? Stephanie was puzzled. “What’s wrong with Sofia?”

Sebastian affectionately ruffled her hair, his eyes filled with warmth. “You’re still a little girl. That’s not your business.”

Stephanie’s lips pursed. She’d already said she wasn’t a little kid anymore.

They both went inside, and Stephanie’s phone started ringing. She glanced at the number. It was the person she’d asked to investigate the former female leader of Dark Portal. She stepped aside to answer. “What do you have?”

“Miss, it’s confirmed,” the voice on the other end said. “The former female leader of Dark Portal is Ms. Ella Turner’s mother.”

Stephanie’s brow furrowed. “It’s all confirmed?”
