“Alright, Ms. Sophie, a representative will assist you moving forward.”


    Sophie replied coolly. “If anyone from my family inquires about my bank assets, please consult me


    first.”


    “Understood, Ms. Sophie.


    Sophie ended the call.


    She had spent two billion dors on that plot ofnd, and now her bank ount was nearly empty. Her


    father’s inheritance had always. been stored under that ount number known only to Perry.


    Unexpectedly, Perry had also told Jessica about it. Clearly, Jessica was no ordinary person.


    On the day of her college enrollment, Sophie got up early. Marian had everything prepared for her.


    Watching Sophie pack alone, Marian couldn’t help but say, “Mr. James knows it’s your first day of


    college. How could he note back to help?”


    “It’s fine, Marian, I’m actually more rxed when he’s not around.”


    Hearing Sophie’s words, Marian was taken aback. Didn’t Sophie always wish for him toe home


    every day in the past?


    ‘Ding Ding-


    The ringing of her phone interrupted her thoughts. Sophie nced down to see a missed call from


    Colby.


    Colby had been out of touch these past few days, and suddenly he was calling today?


    N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Colby’s voice came through the phone, deep and tinged with a smile, “Congrattions on your first day


    at college.”


    “You must have known about my test scores already, right?”


    “Sort of.” There was a pause on the line, then he asked, “Got everything packed for college?”


    “Yeah-”


    Sophie hadn’t finished her sentence when she realized something. Quickly, her gaze shifted to the


    floor-to–ceiling windows, where she saw a ck Porsche parked below. Colby had already stepped out


    of the car.


    “I’ll drive you.”


    Sophie might have been mistaken, but she thought she detected a hint of tenderness in his voice.


    When Adler came to help with the luggage, Marian saw these two unfamiliar men and seemed a bit


    flustered. “Sit, let me help with that” Marian made a move to lift the luggage, but Adler naturally took it


    from her hands. He gestured for silence, winked, his yful eyes shimmering, “Let us men handle this.”


    Even Marian couldn’t help but blush.


    Watching Adler’s yful antics, Colby just took the handbag from Sophie’s hand, “Let’s get in the car. I


    had Adler rent a ce next to the college for you, it’s very convenient.”


    “A rented ce? I remember the houses near Eastwood College are not cheap.”


    She had checked them out after receiving her eptance letter. Not only were they expensive, they


    were also scarce. By the time she had checked, most were already rented out.


    “Tell me about it, it cost me a fortune!” Adler gritted his teeth but only dared to mutter under his breath,


    He rented an entire set. How could it not be expensive? These weren’t just any school district homes,


    these were prime real estate around a prestigious school.


    Thinking this, Adler red fiercely at Colby through the rearview mirror.


    “What did you say?” Sophie didn’t catch it the first time.
