In the early morning, Sophia woke up slowly. She gently placed her hand on the man's bare chest beside her and kissed his lips.

Graham responded to her kiss with a smile. The night's pleasure had left them both a bit tired.

"Is James still asleep?" Sophia asked with a seductive smile, her fingers tracing his chest.

"He won't be awake at this time," Graham replied. He held her hand and brought it to his lips for a kiss. He was genuinely tired and couldn't fathom how a woman could have so much energy, wanting him endlessly every night.

She was nothing like Maisie, who always remained quiet, only revealing a pure smile when he saw her.

Graham froze. Why was he thinking of Maisie at that moment? He shook his head, feeling like he was going crazy.

"My dear, what's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing." Graham forced a smile.

"By the way, I want to discuss something with you," Sophia said, turning his face to her. "James is growing up, and I think... always having private tutors at home won't work in the long run. He should go to school and interact with kids his age. After all, he's the one who will inherit the Bayers' business in the future, right?"

Graham thought it over and looked a bit hesitant. "Well... we can't say for sure about the future. Haven't my parents entrusted all the family's business to Arya?"

Sophia smiled, secretly pleased. Arya stood no chance against her. She had already arranged for Arya to be knocked out and left at Fat Lawler's casino. Once Fat Lawler took her in, everyone would pin the crime of Arya's abduction on him and Daniel.

If Fat Lawler happened to be a womanizer, that would be even better... Sophia could use it as an opportunity to ruin the girl, making sure she'd never rise again. She could be the good guy in this matter. To Graham, she was the one who curried favors with Fat Lawler to save Arya. Graham would be indebted to her! However, she hadn't told Graham she had acquired all the documents Arya had been carrying. After all, she still hadn't obtained the company seal.

Sophia chuckled softly and said, "Your sister only likes painting. With her gentle nature, how could she possibly inherit the Bayers' assets? In the future, the Bayers' business will surely belong to you. As long as it's yours, I trust that you won't treat us unfairly."

"That's for sure!" Graham looked deeply into her eyes. "I've long considered James my own son, and I'll definitely nurture him well. As long as he works hard, he will be the next heir of the Bayers!"

"Mm!" Sophia kissed his face and grinned. "Graham, your parents entrusted the family's assets to your sister because they weren't happy with me! But now we have two mines and will make a fortune when their prices rise. They won't look down on me anymore!"

Graham felt his heart swell with joy as if all the goodness in the world was right within reach. When the two of them locked eyes, sparks of desire flickered. Graham sensed Sophia's eagerness. Despite some reluctance, he pushed himself to pin her beneath him. Hearing her moans brought him gratification. Just as they were about to take things further, his phone suddenly rang.

Reluctantly, Sophia released him, and he got up to answer the call. It didn't take long for his face to turn pale.

"What did you say? The prices of those two mines are dropping?!"

Sophia also had a bad feeling about it. She quickly threw on some clothes and turned on her computer.
