“Good? Of course, it’s good.” Hudson’s voice grew even more sarcastic, and he let out another dramatic huff. “After all, it was personally sent over by Tristan, especially for you.”
He emphasized the word “Tristan“.
As if it was the name of his mortal enemy.
The way he gritted his teeth was practically audible.
Sophia gave him an even stranger look.
This boy seemed to have an unusually deep hatred for Tristan.
Hadn’t they only met for the first time at the auction?
Why the hostility?
Tristan was, after all, one of the biggest financial backers of the research institute.
And today, he had just delivered an entire batch of premium medicinal herbs.
Shouldn’t Hudson be bowing in gratitude?
Shouldn’t he have a better attitude toward their sponsor?
Sophia felt that Hudson’s attitude was off and needed to have a word with Owen about it.
Hudson caught a glimpse of her turning her face forward, clearly not picking up on the dissatisfaction in his tone.
He pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth in frustration.
It was all because he wasn’t old enough–he had lost his opportunity!

at scumbag would never have been an issue.
Now, he had finally waited for Sophia to pull from that scumbag, and he had finally reached adulthood.
But suddenly…
Here comes Tristan!

This Tristan has been collaborating with the Institute for five years.
Wasn’t he always close to that Xenia?
Why is Sophia now?
Delivering such high–quality herbs today, anyone tell this was no ordinary transaction-
He was after Sophia!
Hudson was furious and once again cursed his own age.
He even wanted to research if there were any drugs that could make him grow up instantly–at least enough to be older than

Fifty minutes later.
The car stopped outside the institute.
Sophia got out of the car and entered the institute.

At this time, there were few people in the institute, only a few researchers who were still working or doing experiments.
The entire institute was extraordinarily quiet.
Sophia didn’t bother anyone and went straight to the room where the new batch of medicinal herbs was stored.
The herbs hadn’t been categorized or assessed for their effects yet; they were simply piled up in the herb warehouse.
Sophia opened the door and saw a small mountain of herbs on the floor.
With just a glance, Sophia could tell that the quality of these herbs was indeed excellent.
“Sophia, the funds from the auction have been transferred to this card. Here, same password.”
Hudson leaned against the door of the warehouse with his arms crossed, his fingertips twirling a credit card.
Sophia squatted down in the pile of herbs, rummaging around. Transfer 17 million to your account and help me get some herbs.”
She raised her chin, signaling Hudson to look at the bag on the nearby table. “There’s a list in the bag. Get me some good quality herbs according to the list.”
Hudson snorted lightly, his youthful face carrying a hint of jealousy. “I thought you were going to keep me with that money.”
“Didn’t I already give you three hundred dollars for your trouble” Sophia didn’t even look up.
Hudson walked over to the table, opened Sophia’s bag, and pulled out the folded list. “You get 17 million for herbs and only give me three thousand dollars as a ‘reward,‘ Sophia, you’re so good at business!”
As he took the list out, his fingers brushed against a luxurious

He was, after all, the young master of the Myers family. Although he spent most of his time buried in drug development and traditional medical research, he could still tell a treasure when he saw one.
Just the box alone–the quality, the craftsmanship–was worth hundreds of millions.
What kind of item could possibly fit inside a box worth that much?
“Don’t touch it. It’s a gift from an elder,” Sophia said, looking at Hudson with a hint of disbelief.
Wasn’t he the young master of the Myers Family–one of the top ten families in Virelia?
He would even work for a mere three hundred bucks!
And now he was stunned by a….

Otherwise, the boy might end up like a beggar one day.
Holding the box, he didn’t look like a rich kid at all.
“I’m just looking-” Hudson carefully cradled the brocade box and slowly opened it.
As soon as his eyes landed on the white jade bracelet inside, his smile froze.
He quickly slammed the box shut and shoved it back into Sophia’s bag.

“Sophia, this gift… Did it come from the Yeats family’s elder, Mr. Yeats?” Hudson had seen the bracelet before.
He remembered seeing a gentle elderly woman wearing it in a photo with his grandfather Andrew and several other Virelia bigwigs. She was standing next to Andrew Yeats.
His Andrew had said the bracelet was the Yeats family’s heirloom passed down only to the Yeats family’s matriarch, who was the only one worthy of wearing it.
And now, the bracelet is in Sophia’s possession.
That could only mean…
Sophia was the Yeats family’s acknowledged future matriarch?
Hudson’s youthful face darkened instantly.
He stared at Sophia’s bag as if he could shatter the bracelet inside with his gaze, a fierce, vengeful glint flickering in his eyes.
How did Tristan’s courtship develop so quickly?
He got the upper hand again!
This was just too much–he even brought in his Andrew!
“Yeah, Mr. Yeats gave it to me,” Sophia replied.
Hudson’s pupils shrank.
So… if Sophia accepted this gift, did that
an she accepted Tristan’s pursuit?
Or, does Sophia not know the meaning of this gift?
Thinking about Tristan haunting around Sophia, playing the role of a ‘sweet guy, Hudson’s anger flared up.
He bit his lower lip hard and turned to look at Sophia squatting on the ground: “Sophia, what’s your relationship with….
Tristan?”
The way
he spat out the words “Tristan” was still the same, gritting his teeth.
Sophia: “Well, I guess you could say we’re… having a try?”
Try?
Try what?
The boy’s handsome face crumpled into a frown.

He stomped over to Sophia and crouched down beside her, his amber eyes flashing with anger. “Sophia, don’t be fooled by his pretty face! He’s just the same kind of scumbag as that idiot from the Baker family!”
Sophia paused, then turned her head to the angry boy beside her. “Scumbag?”
Tristan, a scumbag?
Was there any secret about Tristan she didn’t know?
