Chapter 297
Adrian's pupils constricted violently.
Sophia's voice struck his muddled mind like lightning.
How did she find this place?
He had deliberately kept the gathering location secret.
A storm of questions erupted in his head.
Yet his tense nerves inexplicably relaxed.
With Sophia and Henry here, tonight's crisis was resolved.
Even if he doubted Sophia, he trusted Henry's capabilities completely.
This assistant who had served his brother for years always acted with ruthless efficiency.
"Adrian, are you alright?"
Henry approached swiftly, his brow furrowed.
But Adrian's gaze remained locked on Sophia.
Only when Henry spoke again did he snap out of it. "I'm fine."
Damian's expression shifted the moment he saw Henry.
The plan hadn't even begun. He forced composure.
"Mr. Chamberlain, barging in uninvited is rather rude, don't you think?"
His eyes lingered on Sophia with undisguised admiration.
"And who might this lady be?"
He hadn't been able to look away since she entered.
Only her tone displeased him.
Damian paid little attention to company affairs, merely hearing rumors about Alexander marrying some woman to take charge.
He'd scoffed at the idea.
With Adrian's failing health, how long could an outsider last?
Sophia regarded Damian coldly.
Before marrying into the Valdemar family, she'd thoroughly investigated their secrets.
Including Vincent's affair with Genevieve and the two illegitimate sons.
The eldest, Sebastian, was groomed as heir.
The younger stood before her now.
"Damian Valdemar, surrounding Adrian like this—are you testing legal boundaries?"
Being addressed so bluntly darkened Damian's face.
"Who do you think you are? Where's your proof I touched him?"
Sophia's lips curved slightly.
She walked to the selfie stick and removed the recording phone.
"The evidence is right here. Shall we let the police decide?"
Damian's heart lurched.
In the chaos, he'd forgotten about the recording.
He signaled his bodyguard. "Get that phone!"
The bodyguard lunged at Sophia.
Valdemar security reacted faster, instantly forming a protective circle.
Within moments, Damian's men were subdued and escorted out.
Watching the last bodyguard dragged away, Damian finally panicked.
He retreated two steps, blustering. "Do you know who I am? How dare you touch me!"
