Chapter 40 - Breakfast Together

"Don't talk anymore! You better eat or get out of here!". Michael said as he gave Larry a death glare.

Instantly Larry shuddered in horror and immediately enjoyed his food.

Not long after, they finished breakfast. Just then, Larry's cell phone rang.

He immediately pressed the green icon on his cellphone. 

Larry's expression changed after talking to the person on the other side of the phone, he looked at Michael with a sharp look.

Instantly, Michael felt something was not right with Larry's expression and gaze at him. 

"Shopia... Please accompany Zian for a while because I have to talk to Larry alone!". Michael said.

Sophia just nodded because she still had time before she left for campus.

Michael's room.

Arriving at his room, Michael sat in his office chair. He then looked at Larry expressionlessly.

"Tell me what's wrong?" 

Larry took a deep breath, then he opened his mouth. 

"I've investigated last night's incident. Apparently, someone had sneaked into Zian's room, maybe Zian knew something so that person was targeting Zian but the CCTV was broken. However, I managed to take the missing picture backward so I can't recognize it."

Michael fell silent at Larry's report.

"Do they know that I am in this country? Or are they part of the secret group that has been after my family?". Michael thought.

"Maybe this incident has something to do with JF? Because his presence coincided with that intruder". Larry tries to relate what happened to Sophia and Zian.

"Do you already know who JF is?". Michael asked after a long silence.

"Looks like JF is a great person because me and my connections can't trace his identity". Larry replied.

Michael smiled sarcastically at Larry's answer. For him, there is no great person in this world, other than a cunning and intelligent person who controls the situation.

"It seems they are inviting us to play, since this is about Zian's safety then I will accept their challenge". Michael said as he looked at Larry with a horrible look.

Larry just nodded because he knew very well how Michael's character would not back down after he was determined.

"Give my regards to grandpa! Tell him I'll be back in London in a few days. There's something I want to discuss with him!"

"I'll tell him".

Larry nodded when he saw the devilish look in his brother's eyes, he knew very well who his brother was. That's the reason why his grandfather sent him to stay by Michael's side, because a certain someone would bother him after Michael saved his grandfather from death.

Bruno Alexander is the most famous Mafia boss in London, therefore he has many enemies in the dark.

Larry and Michael are already known as Bruno's grandchildren so they are often targeted by some of Bruno's enemies who have intentions on them.

Since being dragged into the world of the Mafia, Michael has become a terrible person.

Meanwhile, Charles was nicknamed the lion of Bloods, which was famous for being savage and feared by many people in the dark world. In addition, Charles is also included in the ranks of great young businessmen in England and has many important relationships with people.

After finishing their conversation, Larry and Michael finally came out. 

Michael's tense expression immediately softened when he saw Sophia's face.

"Sorry for taking so long, are you going straight away?" Michael asked in a soft voice when he saw Jennifer was already beside Sophia. 

"Yes". Sophia answered while nodding.

After that, Sophia turned to Zian who was standing beside Larry.

Sophia also gave Zian the sweetest smile after that she kissed Zian greedily as if it wasn't enough for her. 

"Auntie goes to work first! You are fine at home. Auntie promises to see you soon!". Sophia said.

Hearing Sophia's words, the little boy pranced with joy, he happily kissed and hugged Sophia. 

In a certain position, there is an envious heart to see the display of Sophia and Zian's affection. 

Larry, who noticed the change in Michael's expression immediately laughed loudly while holding his stomach so that Zian and Sophia were surprised.

"Don't tell me you're jealous of this little brat?". whispered Larry after he had finished laughing.

Hearing Larry's words, Zian immediately looked up at Michael. After that, he immediately grabbed Michael's hand and asked him to squat to adjust their height.

After that, Zian passionately kissed and hugged Michael.

"I already kissed you, uncle, so don't be sad anymore!". Zian said while smiling innocently.

Hearing Zian's words, Larry laughed even louder. He didn't expect that Zian would misunderstand.

Zian thought that his uncle was jealous because he only kissed Sophia. 

Michael could only scratch his head nervously because he wasn't sure what kind of attitude to show in front of Sophia. He didn't want Sophia to see him angry at Larry who had laughed at him, so he tried to contain his anger.

"It's not you Zian... But, Uncle also wants to be hugged and kissed by Aunt Sophia". Michael thought.

Jenifer couldn't help but smile at the incident, even though she was actually curious about the relationship between Sophia and Michael that looked unusual.

After that, Sophia and Jennifer left Michael's house.

In the middle of the trip, Jennifer could not contain her curiosity. She also glanced at Sophia who had been sitting quietly beside her.

"What is your relationship with Mr. Michael?". Jennifer asked.

Sophia smiled and told her all about her and Michael. Instantly Jennifer was shocked and could not believe what she had just heard. 

A mysterious man whose presence is always awaited by many girls in the city turns out to be her best friend's ex-husband. It's unbelievable news but it's true.

However, Sophia asked Jenifer to keep it a secret because she didn't want to be hounded by the media and of course to avoid the problems that would come after. 

She and Michael were like earth and sky in terms of social status. Therefore, she must not let anyone know about her and Michael.

University FBI. 

Not long after that, Jenifer's car parked in front of the magnificent campus building. 

Sophia asked Jenifer to leave immediately after she got out of the car because she was already late.

After completing learning in class, Sophia sat relaxing in the cafeteria with Chloe while enjoying a cup of tea in the afternoon.

Today she was really tired and her mind was not stable. She still remembered all the stories of Larry and her decision to return to Michael's house.

"I don't know what I've done? Why can't I control myself? Now, what should I do?". Sophia thought weakly.

Just then, Vio appeared carrying a stack of invitations. Everyone immediately noticed her.

"Sorry to bother you all! But, I want to hand out invitations to you. Because I'm getting married soon!". Vio said shyly.

"Wow... Congratulations!". Everyone clapped while congratulating Vio. 

However, Sophia closed her eyes and didn't care what Vio wanted to do.

After giving her an invitation with the help of her colleague. Vio walked over to Sophia and Chloe with a sweet smile.

"Shopia, I'm sorry if I've bothered you! But, I want to hand over my invitation directly to you. This is my wedding invitation with Mr. George". Vio said in a soft voice.

Sophia opened her eyes then looked at Vio with a complicated look. 

At that moment, Vio thought that Sophia was holding back the pain in her heart when she heard the news he brought. Vio also felt proud because she managed to marry a rich man from a company that was quite well known in the city. Most importantly, she could defeat Sophia this time.

However, Sophia didn't show any expression. She took the invitation from Vio's hand calmly.

"I think she's just pretending to be calm even though her heart hurts a lot. This time I won Sophia... Your glorious period is over". Vio thought while laughing loudly in her heart.

"I really hope that Sophia will come as a witness to our happiness. Like a good friend, I want you to witness it". Vio said while holding Sophia's hand. 

Sophia smiled wryly, she removed her hand from Vio's hand and said. "Of course I won't miss it."

Chloe was shocked, she felt sorry for Sophia, but she couldn't do anything but silently watch the cold war.

"Wow ... Mr. George didn't go wrong this time. The woman who accompanied him had to be classy and beautiful. Not like his former ex. If I'm invited, I'll bring a super nice gift for you and Mr. George. Can I come to your party? ?".. Olivia said, suddenly appearing among them.
