A chuckle came from behind. “What brings you here today, Mr. Harper?”

Upon hearing that voice, Richard reacted as if his soul had jumped out of his body, and his body shuddered slightly too. Then, he turned his head stiffly and saw a face that he hated to his bones. “Sophia, why are you here?”

Sophia was wearing a thin sweater. Walking over slowly, she hugged her arms and sighed softly. “Sigh. It looks like your news is a little outdated, Mr. Harper. This place is now the Edwards Residence, and I am its owner.”

He recalled seeing the words ‘Edwards Residence’ written on the entrance. Nonetheless, he had not dared to associate those two words with Sophia. He had fantasized about the owner’s new identity—perhaps they were a politician, an underworld overlord, or a movie star.

However, not even in his wildest dreams had he imagined that it would turn out to be Sophia! In that instant, all the clues in his head jumbled together like a tangled mess of string. Even so, he quickly found the answer. It was her all along! The fall of the Harper Family was her doing!

“It’s you! You did this to the Harper Family! I can’t believe it was you all along, you b*tch!” Rushing over, he was tempted to rip her to shreds. Unfortunately, she had two big and burly bodyguards with her. Even if he wanted to harm her in any way, he had to take his abilities into account.

“Yes, it was me.” She strolled over and sat on the sofa. The look she gave him was as if she was looking at a wretched dog. “Why? Are you surprised? Are you amazed?”

Restrained by her bodyguards, he was forced to sit in front of her. Glancing at her incredulously, he could not begin to understand. Where did she get her hands on the capital to corner the Harper Family so badly? Didn’t Joe confirm that she was just an assistant at Taylor Murray’s house? But, from what I can see, she doesn’t look like an assistant at all!

Meanwhile, she calmly made a pot of tea. She was in a good mood after observing the exasperation and fury radiating from her ex-boyfriend. Sipping some tea, she placed the teacup down leisurely and said, “Let’s talk about business since you came here uninvited, Mr. Harper.”

Sophia was living a better life than he was currently. “What kind of business do
