Chapter 71: The First Family

When they returned to the hotel, Sophia went to her room to work on her computer. After a short while, she heard the door open, and someone entered. Then Raymond appeared at the doorway of the bedroom and said calmly, "Pick out a dress." Since she had promised to accompany Raymond to the party, Sophia naturally wouldn't embarrass him. So she got up and went out. He had sent five dresses, which were laid out in front of Sophia. She glanced at them and casually pointed to a long dress. Raymond looked at her and couldn't help but smile. He couldn't deny that Sophia had very good taste. After choosing the dress, Sophia went back to her room to continue her work. There were not only matters related to the company but also many personal matters she needed to take care of. However, just as she finished sending an email, Raymond walked back in and placed an exquisite black box in front of her. Sophia glanced at the box and then at him.

"That night, I should have given it to you," he said as his gaze met Sophia's. Raymond's lips curved slightly as he spoke in a warm voice.

Sophia took the box and opened it. Inside was a huge diamond ring that she could match with tonight's outfit.

She tried it on, and indeed, the size was just right.

Such a large diamond was very rare, and it couldn't have been something Raymond prepared at the last minute.

"It's a pity you didn't give it to me that night." After trying it on, Sophia took off the ring and put it back in the box. She closed it and then pushed it back in front of Raymond, refusing without hesitation.

"Sophia." Raymond looked at her, his gaze sincere and serious. "I'm sorry."

Raymond had seen Sophia wearing dresses before, but every time he saw her, he was amazed.

The last time he saw Sophia in a dress was four years ago.

At that time, Sophia was twenty years old, Scott was twenty-six, and he was twenty-five.

That day was his older brother's birthday.

Sophia was wearing a starry dress by Zuhair Murad, looking like a fairy and stunning everyone.

It was also that night when he drank for Scott, and someone drugged him. When he woke up the next day, the person sleeping beside him was Freya.

"I'm fine now. We can leave."

Sophia stood in front of the mirror, and when she turned around, she saw Raymond leaning against the door, lost in deep thought.

Raymond snapped out of it and looked at her intently for a few seconds. He walked over to her, lowered his head, and couldn't help but plant a kiss on her forehead. In a hoarse voice, he said, "You look beautiful!"

As she looked at the man so close to her, Sophia couldn't help but hold her breath, and her cheeks turned slightly red.

Luckily, she had makeup on, so it wasn't noticeable.

"Let's go," she said, lifting her leg.

Raymond smiled and reached out, holding her hand, leading her out together.

The place Raymond brought Sophia to was none other than the sixty-eighth-floor luxury residence owned by the Hart family, the first family of Misty Harbor located in the heart of Misty Harbor. And tonight's gathering was hosted by the Hart family patriarch, Donovan, and his wife, Holland Patterson.

Everyone knew about the Hart family in Misty Harbor, especially Sophia.

The Hart family's mansion cost nearly two billion dollars, and it was said to be a birthday gift Donovan gave to Holland. It was completed just last year.

Donovan's wife, Holland, was the heiress of another Patterson Residence family in Misty Harbor.

It is said that Donovan loved Holland very much.

Because of her poor health, Holland has not been able to get pregnant again since giving birth to Quinn, but Donovan has never disliked Holland for it. He treated her the same as before and never thought about finding a mistress outside to have more children for him.

So now, Donovan and Holland only have one daughter, Quinn, and Holland has become the sole heir.

Because Quinn's identity is so important, she was protected by her family from a young age. She never appeared in front of the media or the public, and no press reported anything related to Quinn.

It is said that Quinn is very beautiful, and her figure is sexy.

Being rich, beautiful, and having a good figure, Quinn has become the most desired woman in the hearts of men worldwide, and she has also become the object of envy for women.

Sophia thought that she probably envied Quinn as well; after all, Quinn had such loving parents.

As the car entered the Hart family's mansion, Sophia couldn't help but be a little lost as she looked through the car window at this innovative landmark building in Misty Harbor.

A family living in a sixty-eight-story mansion, with hundreds of servants every day, must be tiring!

Lost in thought, the car had already arrived at the entrance to the underground garage of the Hart family mansion. Several bodyguards came forward and glanced through the car window.

The car drove directly into the underground garage, and under the guidance of the Hart family's servants, they took the elevator directly to the fifty-sixth floor.

"Mr. Johnson, you are really punctual!"

When the elevator reached the fifty-sixth floor, and the elevator door opened, a deep and mellow voice immediately came through. Sophia raised her gaze and saw a man and a woman smiling and coming towards them.

The man looked about fifty years old, and the woman looked like she was in her thirties, but in fact, they were the Hart family couple, Donovan and Holland.

Holland was actually almost fifty years old, but she took such good care of herself that she looked like she was in her thirties.

However, Sophia didn't expect that Donovan, the head of the first family of Misty Harbor, actually called Raymond "Mr. Johnson" and was enthusiastic about him.

"Mr. Hart, your time is valuable. How could I dare to disturb you in advance."

Raymond led Sophia out of the elevator, and he smiled warmly as Donovan and Holland approached.

"Raymond, you're being too formal. Donovan already calls you Mr. Johnson." Holland elegantly laughed.

"Mr. Hart, Mrs. Hart, good evening," Sophia politely and composedly greeted the Hart family.

Sophia spoke, and only then did Donovan and Holland turn to look at her.

When Donovan saw Sophia's appearance, he didn't know why, but he was momentarily stunned.
