At the Lake's villa.

The crisis of the Lake Group in the past two months had exhausted the Lakes. The family was now relieved that they had managed to escape the close bankruptcy.

At the hall of the Lake's villa, the three Lakes, along with Sophia and her mother, sat on the sofa with relaxed looks on their faces.

"Noah, your cousin will be home in a few days. Remember to pick her up for dinner at that time. If it weren't for her this time, we would probably not have been able to overcome this crisis." Janet looked at Noah, who was sitting beside her, with a faint smile on her face. She finally recovered her ladylike behaviour. Janet also had a bad time in the past two months.

She used to be flattered wherever she went.

After the accident of the Lake Group, however, all the wealthy ladies who had been so close to her chose to stay away from her. The feeling of being ignored was very uncomfortable. Now that the Lake Group had gotten a way out, she could finally reinstate her position as the Lake family's matriarch.

"Don't worry, Mom. I'll see to it."

Noah smiled. The nervous look on his face, which he had maintained for the last two months, was also retaken by his usual elegance.

Not as carefree as his wife and son, Keane still had a trace of gloom on his aged face. "I was so busy getting rid of the project that I didn't think about it carefully. Now in retrospect, I found it too strange. Who the hell set us up? We have little enemies, but Hadley reminded me that someone might frame us."

"But who is that capable? Few in the country can completely suppress us except the four great families, who we never offend. So it's very unlikely that they did it."

Noah' face darkened when it came to the person snaring them.

Because of the company's affairs, he was inferior in front of others for the past two months.

Besides, clients who had previously worked closely with the Lake Group were affected and had suffered a lot.

As a result, everyone was running away from the Lake Group. If it wasn't for Hadley's help, the group would have been declared bankrupt. Noah's eyes turned cold at the thought of that, viciousness flashed in his eyes.

"Could it be Shehnaaz?"

Sophia, who had been silent for a long time, voiced suddenly. "Have you all forgotten that a mysterious man is always by that woman's side? Because of that man, Shehnaaz got the better of Moesha. I doubt if that man has anything to do with the four great families."

"Impossible!"

Almost without thinking, Noah denied Sophia's speculation, "For years, the Lake group has been trying to reach out to the great four, but they are too large and their members are mysterious and low-key. It is not easy to get in touch with them, not to mention that Shehnaaz has a good relationship with that man. Besides, you're not the only one who thinks of this. The man might be something, but obviously, he couldn't have anything to do with the four families."

"According to my investigation, Estrada masters of the Shukla family live abroad. The heirs of the other three are in the country. But they were so high in status that even Dad found it extremely difficult to meet them. I don't think Shehnaaz can befriend people like that."

Perhaps because of his innate sense of superiority, Noah believed that he was the best man Shehnaaz had ever known. Even though she had an outstanding man by her side already, Noah was still confident enough to compare himself with that man.

However, he didn't know that now Shehnaaz wasn't only have a good man… shehnaaz is the wife of Sidharth Shukla the eldest Estrada master of the Shukla family. Nor did he know that Shehnaaz was related to heirs of the other three great families.

It would be a great blow to him if he found out someday. "Humph, no matter how capable that bitch is, we could never let her go. Isn't Hadley going to work for TEG? With her position, she could sort Shehnaaz out easily. If that woman dares to resist, she will be expelled and deprived of her job. We'll see how capable she could be!"

Sophia gritted her teeth and snorted coldly, her face malicious.

She was no longer afraid of anything now. She had money, and soon she would have the inheritance right of the Gills Group. From now on, her status would rocket while Shehnaaz was just nobody.

"Sophia is right. We need to figure out the man's background. Even if he isn't from the four great families, we still need to make clear where he comes from, just in case."

Keane was, after all, a well-experienced businessman. He didn't make it as complicated as Sophia did but just wanted to be careful.

They talked for a while. Ciaran, who had been silent throughout their previous discussion, suddenly voiced with a smile, "Now the crisis with the company has been settled and Sophia is pregnant. We've agreed to have Noah and Sophia get married in three months, should we get ready now? We'll have a triple blessing at the same time."

The three Lakes were caught off guard by the suggestion.

Janet came to herself first and blurted out without further thinking, "We've just saved the company from bankruptcy. How can we have the energy for a wedding? We'd better delay it a little bit."

Janet didn't like Sophia very much.

Sophia seemed to know that as well. Slightly annoyed as she was, she pretended to be considerate and said, "Yes, Mom, you're making things difficult for Noah. He has worked so hard these days, let him have a rest."

"How can that be? No matter what, you are still the future heir of the Gills Group. As the eldest miss of the Gills family, if you didn't even have a decent wedding ceremony, you would be disgraced."

Ciaran complained sternly on purpose and Her voice was neither loud nor small, but it was clearly heard by Noah and his parents.

"Future heir of the Gills Group?" The three turned their gaze to Sophia with astonishment on their faces.

"Yes! A few days ago, James had agreed to give the majority of the shares of the company to Sophia, who is the righteous Estrada of the Gills family now. With her status, she should be more than qualified to marry Noah, right?" Ciaran smiled at the Lakes but snorted inwardly.

Ciaran and Sophia had been looked down upon by Janet because Sophia hadn't been the real Gills..

Now that James was dying and the Gills Group would have a new owner, Ciaran could finally treat them condescendingly.

For some reason, this feeling gave her a morbid pleasure.

So this was the feeling of being superior!
