Sofia passed through the crowd , which were gathered to catch a glimpse of the famous beauty discussed in their company group chat. As soon as she entered the music studio, her pictures were taken and posted on the employee group chat with the title "beautiful cold queen." The employees were incredulous at her beauty in real life.

Accustomed to the spotlight, Sofia ignored the curious gazes and headed into John's office. "Hello, Miss Sofia," said John enthusiastically. "Hello, John," Sofia replied, her eyes scrutinizing him. John, with his blonde hair and grey cat-like eyes, appeared tall and well-maintained, but the hidden depression in his eyes couldn't be ignored. He pretended everything was normal, a common facade in their circle.

"Well, Sofia, you know Senom's album is releasing on the same date as ours," said John with exhaustion in his voice. Actually, John was already worn out from running to meet the producer every day because the investor had backed out at the last minute, delaying the shooting. Sofia was aware of this problem, which was why she made this trip.

John sighed, "They've already started shooting, and they'll probably finish it by next week." Sofia calmly interrupted, "Look, there's an investor sitting right in front of you." John was puzzled, not understanding what Sofia meant. "See, I will invest in this music video, and I will be the sole investor. So, name the price," Sofia said with a cool tone.

John scrutinized Sofia's eyes, surprised by her sudden change in demeanor. She now exuded an aura as if she were the CEO of a multinational company. "Are you sure? You should first consult your parents about it," John hesitated, recalling rumors that the true daughter wasn't favored at home and might seek money from the Tang family.

Sofia, aware of John's doubts, casually showed him her bank account. John was stunned by the zeros displayed on the screen, losing his composure for a moment. "Now I guess the investor problem is solved. We should discuss the changes in the theme for the music video," Sofia suggested.

John hesitated, "Should we really change the theme?" Sofia's tone turned cold as she called his name, "John, you know Senom's music video has the same theme as ours. We can't risk having our script leaked again. There's a mole in our team. Let's change the theme before the situation worsens, and keep it a secret."

Perplexed by Sofia's assertiveness and control, John nodded in acceptance of her suggestion.

After returning from the studio, Sofia went out for lunch before returning to Tang Mansion. Once again, she was captivated by the blend of European and ancient furniture within the mansion. Two bronze tiger statues flanked the entrance, exuding the family's majestic aura, alongside beautiful fountains and a well-kept garden. The Tang family boasted a century-old legacy, ranking among the top five aristocratic families in the capital. Yet, it seemed peculiar how such a powerful family fell victim to fraud by the nanny and the swapping of children at Sofia's birth. Things didn't add up, especially the mystery surrounding Tang Mia's parents despite the family's influence. It appeared there was a larger conspiracy at play, making the game more intriguing for Sofia. With a brimming confidence in her eyes, she entered the mansion.

"Are you finally home, ugly duckling?" Tang Min, Sofia's third brother, greeted her. A university student studying computer science at one of the capital's prestigious institutions, Tang Min was usually quick to taunt Sofia.

However, his words faltered as he observed Sofia's transformation. She exuded confidence and calmness, seemingly unaffected by the world around her. Recovering from his shock, Tang Min questioned Sofia's identity with confusion evident in his tone. Sofia responded with a bright smile, confirming her identity.

Sofia couldn't help but recall Tang Min's somewhat caring demeanor amidst his usual sarcastic remarks. Though his behavior could be childish, he was the only family member who acknowledged Sofia's existence, albeit in his own way. Despite his taunts, Sofia found herself being a bit gentler with Tang Min.

Tang Min, true to form, couldn't resist a sarcastic comment, suggesting Sofia's change was due to love. Sofia, internally rolling her eyes, made a mental note of Tang Min's knack for mixing poison with his words. Despite his antics, she couldn't deny his concern in his own twisted way. Suppressing her frustration, Sofia maintained her composure.

"Have you had lunch? If not, allow me, your royal highness, to grace you with the humble opportunity of dining with me," Tang Min quipped, a smug expression on his face. Sofia couldn't help but think that Tang Min's poisonous tongue and daring behavior would ensure his status as a perpetual bachelor.

"I already had lunch outside, so I'll pass on your royal offer," Sofia replied, matching Tang Min's sarcastic tone. Tang Min was taken aback by Sofia's rejection, as she had always sought attention from the Tang family and usually acquiesced to their every request.
