After taking in the beautiful scenery, Christ cast one final look at Sofia before they left the serene spot. The car ride back was filled with a heavy silence, the events of the evening hanging between them like an unspoken agreement. When they arrived at Tang Mansion, Christ parked and turned to Sofia. "Here you go," he said simply.

Sofia stared at Christ for a moment, as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately, she just thanked him and got out of the car. Christ watched her as she walked away, his eyes fixed on her back until she disappeared inside the mansion. Only then did he drive off into the night.

Inside her room, Sofia changed quickly and jumped onto her bed, her thoughts racing. She couldn't shake the memories of the night—the dance with Christ, the secluded spot he took her to. She was struggling to decipher his intentions, but one thing was clear: she needed to regain control. This battle, if not carefully managed, could disrupt the calm, calculating mind she prided herself on. With this resolve, she drifted off to sleep.

Early the next morning, Sofia woke up and went downstairs to have breakfast. She was eager to leave quickly to meet John for the final MV discussion. Unfortunately, she encountered Tang Mia on her way.

"Hello, sister. How are you? Well, how are the preparations going for the MV? I'm so sorry I couldn't help with the shoot. If I had, the Tang family could have made your work easier," Tang Mia said, her tone laced with false apologies while her eyes gleamed with pride, as if she was showing off.

Sofia's expression remained cold, her gaze icy. "Tch, again with these silly tricks, sister. You should upgrade your tricks like you upgrade your phone. Otherwise, I will soon get bored," Sofia replied casually, her voice dripping with indifference.

Tang Mia's smile faltered, taken aback by Sofia's ruthless demeanor. There was no room for weakness or sentimentality in Sofia's world, and she made sure everyone knew it. She moved past Tang Mia without another word, her presence a chilling reminder of her cold, devilish nature.

Sofia's mind was already on her upcoming meeting as she stepped out of the mansion. She had no time for petty family squabbles or the false pleasantries of her sister. Her focus was on the task ahead, and she intended to dominate the day with the same ruthless efficiency she applied to everything in her life.

Soon after leaving the mansion, Sofia spent the entire afternoon working on the MV with John. As the sole producer, the project demanded her undivided attention, and countless tasks had piled up, requiring her meticulous oversight. After the meeting, exhausted but determined, Sofia left the building and headed back home.

Upon entering the Tang Mansion, Sofia was about to head to her room when she heard a commotion. Tang Min was yelling, his voice echoing through the hallways, filled with a mixture of anger and desperation. It sounded as if the world was collapsing around him. Intrigued by the unusual display, Sofia's frustration gave way to curiosity, and she walked towards Tang Min to see what was happening.

As she approached, she saw Tang Min pacing back and forth, his face flushed with rage. Papers were scattered around him, and a few household staff stood at a distance, clearly intimidated and unsure of how to respond to his outburst. Sofia paused for a moment, observing the scene with a cold detachment, her eyes narrowing as she took in the details.

Tang Min didn't notice her at first, too absorbed in his tirade. "This is unacceptable! How could this happen? Who's responsible for this mess?" he shouted, his voice cracking with frustration.

Sofia stepped closer, her presence commanding and unnerving. "What's going on here, Tang Min?" she asked, her voice calm but with an edge of authority that demanded an answer.

Tang Min spun around, startled by her sudden appearance. His eyes widened slightly, but he quickly composed himself. "Sofia, it's a disaster.My laptop was hacked when I was just about to submit my software which was my last assignment on which I will get my graduation credits . Now what am I supposed to do

Sofia's gaze hardened, and she crossed her arms, regarding him coolly. "And what exactly do you expect me to do about it?" she asked, her tone icy. "Throwing a tantrum won't solve anything."

Tang Min's anger flared again, but this time he directed it more carefully. "I need your help, Sofia. You're always so composed and ruthless. We need someone who can handle this mess and find out who's responsible."

Sofia's expression remained impassive. She had no intention of diving into Tang Min's chaos without understanding the full scope of the problem. "Calm down and give me the details," she ordered. "Then we'll see what can be done."

As Tang Min began to explain the situation in more detail, Sofia listened intently, her mind already calculating potential strategies to address the issue. She wasn't doing this out of family loyalty but rather to maintain the stability she needed for her own plans. Tang Min's outburst had unwittingly provided her with an opportunity to assert her influence further.

"Fine," she said once he had finished. "I'll look into it. But remember, Tang Min, this isn't about helping you. I am just trying to show you how brilliant I am said sofia proudly

Tang Min nodded, a mixture of relief and resentment in his eyes. He knew better than to argue with Sofia when she took charge. "Thank you, Sofia," he said, the words almost grudging.

"Save your thanks," Sofia replied coldly. "Just make sure you don't get in my way."

With that, she turned and walked away, her mind already racing with plans and contingencies. The stakes had just been raised, and Sofia was determined to find the hacker .
