All eyes turned to Henry, who stood, stunned, gazing at Sophie, until she too looked away, seemingly embarrassed by her own actions.
A sardonic chuckle escaped Henry's lips. He glanced over at Theo Roberts and Ella, who wore triumphant smiles. With a sigh of resignation, he mumbled, "I'm sorry."
Without another word, he turned on his heel and left the building.
Ella's mocking laughter filled the room. "Bravo, Sophie! That’s how you keep a man in line. Well done."
Grandpa Mitchell chimed in, a hint of approval in his voice, "That's the spirit, Sophie. That’s my granddaughter. As long as you divorce this wastrel and marry Smith, the cosmetics company’s leadership is yours."
Swallowing her indignation, Sophie replied, "Ella, he's already apologized. Please, leave my parents out of this."
