Chapter 198
Those were minor details. What really mattered was Cole’s technology. That was what had real value.
Logan understood exactly what Sophia meant. Sure, Elodie had done well during her speech. But when it came to the technical stuff? Both he and Sophia figured Johnny had fed her all the answers beforehand.
There was no way Elodie actually knew that much on her own.
Tracy chimed in. "But she really is relying on Johnny, isn’t she?"
No matter how you looked at it, Elodie had been front and center today. And whether they liked it or not, that helped the Miller family. In Tracy’s eyes, that showed Elodie had at least some ability.
But Sophia wasn’t concerned with any of that. What bothered her was something else entirely.
She’d noticed Harry in the audience during the press conference. Watching Elodie. His gaze had been locked on her, focused, and intent.
He’d never looked at Sophia that way. She couldn’t help but think if she’d been the one on stage, Harry’s eyes would’ve been on her instead.

She got in her car and drove on autopilot, only realizing when she pulled into the garage that she’d gone to her own apartment instead of back to the Miller house.
It was too late to turn around now. She wasn’t going back tonight.
