Aren't you worried?" "If Sophie brought him to the Minton family, she knows something's up with him and wants to keep a close eye.

Why play the lovesick second fiddle when you're the CEO of Burke International? Meanwhile, Sophie waltzed back into her room, humming a tune, looking downright cheerful.

"Aren't you afraid he'll just give up with all the trouble you're causing?" "If he's here to spy on us, he wouldn't dream of leaving.

Timothy leaned back in the car, plotting his next move against the Minton family; he needed to get rid of Sophie and destroy the stock transfer agreement. Just then, his phone rang with an unknown number, but he recognized it immediately.
Timothy quickly answered, "BOSS, what are your orders?"
