Sophia came down the stairs.
Honestly, she found Aiden completely lacking in challenge. He was far too weak—every move he made was already within someone else's grasp. Including Jessica downstairs.
Jessica being with Richard was nothing more than another attempt to sink her claws into Hilton Group's fortune. If she couldn't secure Lucas, she'd settle for his relatives. It wasn't the worst strategy, but it seriously underestimated Lucas.
He was a predator, always watching, already several steps ahead—anticipating every move his prey might make. Jessica's plan had been to win over the company staff and establish herself as "the lady of the house." But in the end, the results were… underwhelming.
Lucas might have been young, but his mind was sharper and heavier than any seasoned lion. He lived by one principle: never use someone you don't trust, and never doubt the people you do.
