Sophie sighed, "Okay, I'll give Estelle a ring, though she doesn't seem too involved in the Lamont Group's business affairs. Don't
get your hopes up too high."
Robin was quick to respond, "As long as she can put in a good word forwith Mr. Lamont, I'm certain everything will be sorted."
Estelle was the president's wife of the Lamont Group, and surely she had ssway in thepany. Moreover, from the way
things had gone down with KING, it was clear that Jonathan and the Lamont family held Estelle in high regard. So, whether or not a
partnership could happen was practically up to her.
Sophie chuckled, "I'll give it a shot."

and then, I'll be able to spend squality twith you."
"That sounds lovely," Sophie giggled, "But don't stress yourself too much. You're already doing great."
"I'm not there yet. I've got to push harder; | want to be the new big shot in J City. Then | can buy you a mansion and ensure you live
a life happier than anyone else's."
Sophie felt her heart swell with emotion, "Robin, having you is all | need, honestly. You don't have to put yourself under so much
pressure. I'm content with how things are now."
"The business world is a battlefield, and if you're not charging forward, you're just waiting to get trampled," Robin's voice turned
grave, but he quickly lightened the mood, "Enough of that. I've got a call to take. You get srest."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Sophie felt unwell, not just physically but emotionally too, as her thoughts ran in turmoil. She had always
admired Robin for his drive, but now she worried that his relentless pursuit and the immense pressure he placed on himself would
lead to anxiety.
She lay in bed, feeling a chill, and touched her forehead - it seemed she had a fever again. She didn't want to get up for medicine,
just wanted to sleep it off.
She'd feel better when she woke up, she told herself.
Curling into a ball, Sophie closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep.
After what felt like an eternity, she heard someone calling her, "Sophie, Sophie."
Her eyes fluttered open to see a man sitting at the edge of her bed. She tried to speak but her throat was so hoarse, it felt like it
was on fire.
Jason touched her forehead and said in a deep voice, "You've got a fever again, and it's a bad one this time. I'm taking you to the
hospital."
Sophie shook her head weakly, "No hospital."
