Chapter 93
However, ever since the eldest daughter–in–law passed away.
Allen reverted to that aloof and domineering demeanor.
As Butler Walter once said, “Since Madam passed away, Sir has never smiled, again.”
Now…
He finally showed some feelings somehow.
Seeing his daughter, Allen could cry and laugh, no longer living like a robot programmed for routine.
The father and son stood at the study’s doorway, listening to Sophia and Lukas discussing the cooperation proposal inside. The girl’s voice was clear and pleasant, with a melodious tone. For any questions or requests from Lukas, she could analyze and adjust clearly and logically.
She already knew some questions and requests by heart, even predicting what he would say next.
She responded swiftly and gracefully.
This confidence emanated from deep within her bones.
Allen’s eyes grew redder, deeply gazing at the girl with the exquisite side profile sitting in front of the study, his throat gently
moved.
At this moment.
He didn’t need to go in and disturb his children.
He reached out to close the study door, slowly treading heavily, and turned back to the hall.
Edward also followed slowly. Seeing Allen’s exceedingly heavy silhouette, a trace of helplessness appeared on his solemn face, “Even without our family’s upbringing, she is still so outstanding. As a father, you should be happy.”
Allen lowered his head, sighed softly, and turned to look at Edward who had followed, “Dad, I heard… Sophia even understands traditional medicine. She solved your chronic illness, which eluded cure for a decade, in less than half a month?”
Edward nodded, “Yes, indeed, Sophia is quite capable. Ever since I took the pills she gave me, my health has been improving remarkably. These days, I can even stay up late without any headaches or discomfort.”
“But… She is only twenty years old.”
His eyes, tinged with red, betrayed a hint of heartache as his fingers clenched by his side, “How much did she have to endure, how much effort did she have to put in, to become so outstanding at this age?”
This was not just ordinary excellence.
Even Xandra, who enjoyed the whole family’s resources and had so much spent on her education, only managed to earn her current praise and honor by relying on the family’s status.
But what Sophia learned….
Sophia learned traditional medicine.

Their family was the wealthiest in the capital. Hadn’t they met any renowned traditional medicine practitioners? They even invited the president of the Traditional Medicine Association.
But it was of no use.
Over the years, Edward’s chronic ailments had only worsened.
The whole family even hired a professional team to provide comprehensive care tailored to his condition.
But the effect was negligible.
Taking too much medicine would eventually build resistance.
Yet when Sophia returned, she just gave him a half–month supply of pills, and after taking them for less than a week, he underwent a remarkable transformation.
The most important thing was…
The pills were made by Sophia herself, witnessed by Edward, without the help of anyone else.
This was enough to show that her proficiency in traditional medicine probably… had already surpassed those old experts in the Traditional Medicine Association.
Moreover, this time, Sophia effortlessly presented two solutions.
She was able to communicate so seamlessly and easily with Lukas, the family heir, who had been meticulously groomed by the whole family, seasoned in the business world for years, and hailed as a genius and overlord of commerce…
Sophia exchanged ideas so freely and naturally, without yielding in the slightest to Lukas.
From their conversation, Allen could perceive… but he kept it to himself.
Those two exceptional plans, which amazed and astounded the three, were entirely created by Sophia for her grandpa, put together casually at the last minute.
This astonishing ability.
It couldn’t be explained by their family’s natural talent.
It was the excellence that belonged solely to Sophia herself.
Even though… being in adversity, his daughter grew up so excellently.
Yet the hardships behind this excellence…
It was beyond his imagination.
Regarding Sophia, the biological daughter who was brought back.
To be honest, from the beginning, Allen shared the same thought as his father.
After all, even with the family’s nurturing methods, they couldn’t cultivate Chloe into success back then. Instead, adversity turned her more opportunistic and dark.
Let alone Sophia.
Especially, after Sophia was brought back from the countryside by the Stewart family, the affair of her chasing after the young master of the Baker family like a sycophant had become quite the sensation.

Even if he didn’t want to hear it, he got the gist of it.
Such a girl was clearly already ruined.
From the beginning, he did not have much hope.
Bringing back Sophia was purely a responsibility owed to blood ties, just like with Chloe before; as long as she was alive, it was enough.
But…
Until Butler Walter brought those two plans written by her.
And Butler Walter mentioned, due to the return of Sophia, Edward’s health not only improved but even his spirits were getting better.
He couldn’t help but develop a great interest in this daughter.
Indeed, he and Lukas rushed back to their family estate specifically for those two plans.
But at this moment, he was immensely grateful that he returned to the estate, to personally see his biological daughter…
He absolutely did not believe that his excellent daughter would be a sycophant to the arrogant young master of the Baker family for the past three years.
There must be some misunderstanding.
Mr. Foster naturally also felt sorry for her past, “No matter how Sophia has lived for the past twenty years, she has now returned to our family and is our little princess.”
But all those things had already passed.
What they had to do was to do everything they could to make it up to Sophia.
No matter how excellent Sophia was or how formidable she was in her fields of expertise.
But in the eyes of their family members.
She was just the little princess they held dearly and pampered.
Allen said, “Dad, it’s about two months until her birthday, I think… Let’s hold a grand birthday party for her and announce that she is the only little princess of our family.”
Edward nodded, “I was thinking the same thing.
They wanted everyone in the capital and even the entire country to know that Sophia was the apple of their family’s eye, their one and only little princess!
In the study.
After discussing all the details of the cooperation plan, Lukas held the newly printed plan with a face full of excitement.
The matter that had been troubling him for so long was unexpectedly solved so easily.
He said, “Little sister, this is all thanks to you. Once the contract for this cooperation is signed, I must put your name on it. All the profits from this cooperation plan will belong to you!”

Lukas’s serious face broke into a bright smile, his eyes shimmering with gentle light, as he looked deeply at Sophia, “Little sister, you’re simply amazing. Which university are you attending now? Are you studying finance?”
These words were asked completely subconsciously.
After he asked.
The smile on his face instantly froze.
He suddenly remembered that just now, after seeing Sophia, Xandra couldn’t wait to “expose” her true face.
She mentioned.
Sophia grew up in the countryside and didn’t even finish high school.
His words now, weren’t they just like Xandra’s earlier, full of humiliation?
His face showed a flustered expression, and he quickly raised his hand and slapped his mouth hard, “Little sister, I didn’t mean that… I just asked casually…”
“I know, it’s okay,” Sophia looked at her embarrassed brother and chuckled softly, “To insignificant people, I’m too lazy to explain.”
She reclined lazily in the boss chair, her eyebrows slightly raised, her bright eyes looking at him, her red lips curling into a charming arc, “Brother, don’t listen to her nonsense, I’ve already graduated.”
The girl was clearly smiling, and her demeanor was relaxed and undisturbed.
Yet she inexplicably exuded an aura of regal dominance, like a queen sitting high on her throne.
Lukas was momentarily stunned.
Then he was filled with overwhelming joy.
She was reluctant to explain to insignificant people?
Then now… was she explaining to him?
Then to his little sister.
Was he not insignificant?
He was overjoyed and didn’t even bother to ask whether she meant graduating from high school or university.
However, considering her age….
It was definitely impossible for her to be a university graduate.
But no matter what graduation it was.
It didn’t change the fact that his little sister was excellent!
Even if his little sister wanted to give up, he could still
support
her!
Lukas, in his excitement, thought of the scene where Xandra had just confronted Sophia.
