Chapter 281 Misunderstanding The elevator doors slid shut with a soft ding .
Sophia clutched her bag tightly and explained , Arthur , somethings happened .
I think Im being targeted .
Arthur remained icy as he replied , So , you came to see me ? Sophias eyes welled up with a mix of frustration and helplessness .
Arthur , I dont know who Ive offended .
Ever since I returned here , all my newly signed deals have been snatched away .
I cant figure out whats going on .
Youre the only one who can help me .
Arthurs forehead creased with a hint of annoyance , yet his tone remained as frosty as ever .
Ill investigate this .
Go home and wait for any updates , he instructed .
A flicker of relief crossed Sophias face , but she hesitated , glancing toward the rain soaked windows .
But the storms too heavy .
All the flights back to Lanceser are canceled .
Can I stay until the rain stops ? Whatever , Arthur responded with a dismissive shrug , his focus already drifting away from her .
The elevator doors opened , and Arthur carried Julius back to the suite .
He ran a warm bath for Julius , wrapped him in a soft towel , and had someone prepare steaming soup to ward off the chill .
After making sure Julius took some medicine to prevent a Chapfer 281 Misunderstanding cold , Arthur finally stepped into the shower himself .
2/5 Sophia stepped inside and lingered in the living room , initiating a gentle flow of conversation with Julius .
Im a little sleepy , Julius mumbled , rubbing his eyes .
I think Ill go to bed .
Sophia nodded .
Of course , get some rest .
As soon as the door to his room clicked shut , Julius grabbed his phone and dialed Charlotte .
Mom , can you come see me ? Catching the faint quiver in his voice , Charlotte blurted out with concern , Whats wrong ? What happened to you ? Julius recounted the events , and his voice was tinged with the remnants of fear , making the ordeal sound as harrowing as it felt .
Charlottes breath hitched .
Im on my way .
Are you hurt ? No , Dad got me out of the car right away , Julius explained .
Charlotte exhaled a sigh of relief .
Alright , Im coming over right now , she promised .
After ending the call , she turned to Ava , conveying the situation .
Ava looked anxious and sighed , With such a downpour , an 21 .
Chapfer 281 Misunderstanding .
: 3/5 incident like this would scare any child .
That poor boy must be terrified .
Go comfort him .
Whatevers going on between you and Arthur can wait .
The child comes first .
I know , Charlotte nodded , grabbing her coat and heading out the door .
***** Within the hotel room , Sophia caught snippets of the conversation between Julius and Charlotte , her eyes flickering with a subtle realization .
So , Julius actually shared such a close bond with that bitch ! Sarah is useless ! she thought .
She glanced towards the master bedroom before slipping into a guest room .
Each room was equipped with plush bathrobes and soft towels .
After taking a shower , she donned the bathrobe and stood quietly .
Her ears were tuned to the muffled sounds beyond the door , listening intently .
Meanwhile , Charlotte hailed a taxi to the hotel , and upon entering , she crossed paths with Jacob , who was drenched from head to toe .
Mrs.
Harrison .
Jacob gaped at Charlotte in surprise upon seeing her .
Then , he reached out to press the elevator button .
Are you here to see Mr.
Julius Harrison ? he inquired .
Shes definitely not here to see Mr.
Harrison , he thought with a strange sense of certainty .
Chapfer 281 Misunderstanding 4/5 Yes , Charlotte replied as she stepped into the elevator with her brow furrowed with confusion .
Whats going on ? Jacob wiped the water from his face and explained , Weve already caught the man responsible and handed him over to the police .
Whether it was an accident or something deliberate , well find out once the investigation is complete .
Charlotte nodded .
The elevator doors opened , and Jacob led her to the suite .
He pulled out the room card , but before he could swipe it , the door swung open .
Sophia appeared in a bathrobe .
Her hair was damp , and her collar was slightly open , offering a glimpse of her skin beneath .
She gaped at them in feigning shock .

Oh , I thought you were the food delivery .
Jacob felt confused and asked , Ms.
Reed , when did you get here ? Sophias gaze flicked to Charlotte as she replied , Arthur asked me to come , of course .
Given her appearance and her words , it was almost inevitable that misunderstandings would arise .
Her words carried the implication that Arthur had summoned her there specifically to make love .
