"Father, letexplain, I—' "There's no need to explain," Ewald interrupted coldly. "You're to leave immediately. From today onward, Denis will be the patriarch of the Toma family. All my assets and shares will be transferred to him for management." The finality of Ewald's words hit Cezar like a hammer. He stood there, eyes filled with rage, but knew that any further protest would only make things worse. Glaring at Emmanuel, he gritted his teeth and stormed out, followed by his family and loyalists.
Ewald never imagined that half of the Toma family would walk out in defiance.

"Sonia, I'll be working with Mr. Fletcher to help Mr. Lowe find his sister as quickly as possible. In the meantime, please take care of our guests." Denis was not only a man of his word but also keen on securing the Toma family's alliance with the Quillen family by offering his daughter's hand to Shane.
"Will do, Dad," Sonia replied, though her feelings were conflicted.
It wasn't that Sonia wanted to back out of the arrangement, but Shane just wasn't her type. She had always been drawn to men with charisma and commanding presence. Shane's senior, Emmanuel, was the perfect example of that-no wonder Rhea had spoken so highly of him.

While Emmanuel was busy coordinating the search for his sister with the Fletcher and Toma families and holding discussions with Mackenzie about their joint plans, he had no tto supervise Shane.

Rhea, on the other hand, didn't want to play third wheel and preferred spending taround Emmanuel, so she left them alone.
After spending the day together, Shane's confidence began to grow. By the next morning, he decided to take a bold step forward.
"Miss Toma," Shane stammered, gathering his courage. "Could we, um...
maybe, uh, go out for a walk or something?" As soon as he asked, he immediately covered his face with both hands, feeling embarrassed. This was his first tasking a girl out, and the memory of his failed attempts with Beatrix still haunted him, making him even more nervous.
"Um... okay," Sonia replied. Though she didn't particularly like Shane, she didn't find him completely unbearable either. Since her father had already promised her hand to Shane, she was prepared to accept her fate.
"Wait, what? You actually agreed to go on a... a date with me?!" Shane's face lit up like a blossoming flower. He had just referred to it as a date, pushing his luck a little further.
Sonia lowered her head, giving a soft nod. She wasn't as flustered as Shane, but there was still an awkwardness in the air. She had dated before, back in her school days. While things never went too far, she had experienced holding hands, kissing, and casual dates. This was nothing new to her.
"That's awesome! I'll, uh, call us a cab!" Shane said, excited a bit Cheless th bat a ontent is on novelenglish.net! realizing he didn't have a car in Eldoria.
"No need for that," Sonia replied. "You can drive my car. If you're not comfortable driving, I can have the driver take us."
"No, no! I can totally drive! I'm a great driver. You'll see!" Shane puffed out his chest with pride.
Sonia blushed a little at his enthusiasm.
Shane suddenly realized the potential misunderstanding and quickly smacked his forehead. "Miss Toma, I mean driving a car, not... that other kind of driving. I've never driven in that way, I swear!" Sonia stared at him, her face now bright red.
Shane continued to dig himself deeper, fumbling with his words. "No, no, wait!
I mean, I can drive, but not like... uh, not like that! content I'm really good at driving cars, just not... oh man, what am I even saying?" Sonia finally let out a chuckle X
