Sophie felt uncomfortable as Hurley led her along.
The burning heat coming from his palm made Sophie unsure of what to do. She considered pulling her hand away, but Hurley's grip was firm.
Hurley took Sophie to the cruise ship and handed the invitation letter to the security team. After checking, he took Sophie onto the cruise ship.
The ship was large and luxurious, with the first two decks reserved for reception and the upper decks for the relaxation and entertainment of the guests.
The owner of the cruise ship, Mr. Vernon Harrington, was a man of mystery with various international business interests.
Among the guests were not only San Francisco celebrities but also foreign dignitaries who had come specifically to honor Mr. Harrington.
"Dad, how come Carl isn't here yet?" Not far away, a girl who must have been in her early twenties had a look around.
"It's almost time. You go play for a while. I'm still busy here."
"But I don't know anyone here except Carl, and he hasn't shown up yet," Alana complained, her expression sour.
In the meantime, Sophie and Hurley had made their way directly to the host of the event.
"Mr. Harrington, it's been a while," Hurley greeted.
When Vernon saw Hurley, his eyes lit up. "Mr. Walton! It's been a long time since I last saw you. I want you to meet my daughter, Alana Harrington."
Although Vernon and Hurley hadn't done much business together, they were acquainted through their shared status as top executives.
Alana stared at Hurley blankly. This man was so handsome! He was so dignified and calm that people couldn't take their eyes off him.
And he's even more beautiful than Carl!
"Hello, Ms. Harrington," Hurley greeted with a polite nod.
"Hello, my name is Alana." Alana's face immediately turned red. He was so handsome and elegant.
"This must be Miss Matilda Jacobson?" Vernon turned his attention to Sophie.
He had heard a little bit about the affairs that were going on between Mr. Walton and Matilda Jacobson.
The mention of 'Matilda Jacobson' caught both Hurley and Sophie off guard. It created an awkward atmosphere.
Sophie pinched Hurley's hand hard, indicating her annoyance at his rumored romantic escapades.
When Hurley felt the pain in the palm of his hand, he knew that Sophie must be angry, so he quickly explained, "Mr. Harrington, this is not Matilda Jacobson. Her name is Sophie Hades."
Understanding dawned on Vernon's face. "Ah, the relationship between you two brothers and Ms. Jacobson was quite..."
"Mr. Harrington, I believe you have many guests to attend to. We won't take up any more of your time," Hurley interjected, eager to change the subject.
Vernon chuckled, "Of course, Mr. Walton, please, enjoy the evening."
As Hurley led Sophie away, Alana's gaze lingered on him, unable to tear her eyes away.
Once inside, Sophie remained silent, refraining from questioning or commenting on the earlier exchange.
Hurley led Sophie to a more secluded area, then turned to her with a slightly accusatory tone. "Are you angry?" he asked.
"Why should I be angry? Is there anything to be angry about?" Sophie's words were aggressive, despite her claim of not being angry.
Hurley replied, "Mr. Harrington and I haven't interacted much. He doesn't know much and his assumptions are wrong. Hurley explained, obviously caught off guard by Vernon's reference to Matilda and Sophie being mistaken for Matilda.
"Really? Then what did he mean? Can you clarify?" Sophie wanted to give Hurley a chance to explain.
But Vernon's mention of "the two brothers and Matilda" piqued her curiosity. She knew that Hurley had an older brother who had lived abroad for years. There had been an incident with him that the Walton family had forbidden any discussion of, and Sophie was not well informed about it.
Could Hurley's brother be connected to Matilda?
