"Of course, it''s because of this piece ofnd. What''s up with you? Is there something wrong with it?"


    "It''s not thend that''s the problem; it''s that you''re relying on it too much."


    Colby had kept quiet about this before, mainly because thend had indeed brought in a nice profit, and secondly, the money was already sufficient. But if they were going to confront the mastermind behind everything, relying just on thisnd wouldn''t cut it. "I get what you''re saying," Sophie replied. "If it was only about being the head of S Corporation, I wouldn''t even be qualified to meet the person pulling the strings."


    "Right now, every move we make is under their control. If we want to force them out, we need to go all out."


    Colby handed Sophie a document. "The old man left this for you."


    "For me?" Sophie was stunned. She took the document envelope and opened it to find a share transfer agreement, and transfer agreement, and a prepared will. "This... is this the Costello Corporation''snd?"


    "Yeah," Colby said, his tone t. "The old man must''ve had a feeling something bad wasing, so he prepared these documents and the will in advance. Now, all the operations of the Costello family are in your hands. But that means your burden will also double." "You should''ve given this to me yesterday."


    "I know you''re like an eagle that can soar high, but I selfishly wanted to carry all these burdens myself. Sophie, I hate seeing you so exhausted."


    "Revenge isn''t just your burden; it''s mine too. Besides, that person has already put a knife to all our throats. Do you think I can just pretend nothing''s happening and hide behind you?"


    Sophie gave Colby a small smile.


    "With you here, you''re my biggest motivation, I''m not afraid of


    anything else. Just one thing... we all


    need to stay safe, everyone has all


    live. Even if it means risking our lives against that person."


    "Alright, I promise you," Colby said softly, gently caressing Sophie''s cheek. "I won''t let myself die before you."


    Because the one who stays behind is the one who suffers the most.


    Meanwhile, at the Burke family home, James returned for the first time since taking over Burke International.


    Marian''s eyes reddened slightly when she saw James: "Sir... You finally came back."


    James didn''t say anything.


    In the living room, his grandmother remained asposed as ever.


    Bea put down her teacup. "You should''vee back sooner. The Costello family''s funeral... as a junior and as the head of Burke International, you should''ve gone to pay your respects." "There was no need," James replied coldly.


    Bea nced at James, noticing he''d


    lost some weight. After all, he was her grandson. "I''ve taken care of the matter regarding Nichole''s death

    you. Rest assured, now that back as president of Burke International, no one dares to criticize you. But one thing..."


    Bea observed James''s expression. "That new daughter-inw of the Costello family, Sophie, you absolutely cannot show her any mercy! You have no idea how she bullied your grandmother and oppressed Burke International while you were gone!"
