The story of Sophia Bennett and Jack Dalton in Fireworks Cost Him A Billion Empire

Sophia Remembers Her Murder and Abandons Jack

On a yacht deck in international waters, Jack Dalton ended his marriage with violence. He yelled at his wife, Sophia Bennett, because she upset his mistress, Chloe Harper. Chloe had a fever after a scare, and Jack blamed Sophia for it. He called Sophia a venomous woman who cared only about money. He reminded her that the Dalton family fortune belonged to him by right. Then Jack shoved her over the railing into the ocean. Sophia went into the sea and died.

Sophia opens her eyes outside an intensive care unit. Her hand touches her pearl necklace. She looks at the clean hospital walls and realizes that she has returned to life. A television screen displays an urgent news bulletin. Albert Dalton, head of the family company, has been badly hurt in a car crash. He lies in critical condition. Albert has declared a single rule for his succession: whichever son arrives at his hospital bedside first will inherit the entire billion-dollar business empire.

Lawyer Robert Clark runs down the hospital hallway toward Sophia. He tells her that Jack is only ten minutes away from the medical center. The second son, Noah Dalton, remains overseas. Clark urges Sophia to dial Jack immediately to secure his claim. Sophia knows where Jack is. Jack has turned off his phone to ride a Ferris wheel with Chloe. He arranged a private fireworks display to cheer Chloe up. Sophia checks her phone and sees Jack's social media post about viewing fireworks with Chloe. She refuses to protect Jack this time. She opens a message window with Noah Dalton. She types a short proposal: "Noah, how about a deal?"

Jack Rejects Sophia to Comfort Chloe

Robert Clark paces along the hospital corridor. He checks his watch and stresses the terms of the inheritance. Albert Dalton could pass away at any minute. Whoever steps into the intensive care room first will assume complete control of the Dalton Group. Clark urges Sophia to try Jack's number once more. Sophia makes the call while Clark watches.

Jack answers his phone in the amusement park. He snaps into the receiver before Sophia can finish a sentence. He asks if Sophia will ever shut her mouth. He explains that Chloe has been feeling depressed and needs his undivided attention. Jack shouts that he will watch fireworks with Chloe and orders Sophia to stop calling him. Sophia interrupts his outburst. She tells him that his father was involved in a severe crash and now fights for his life in the emergency room.

Chloe grabs the phone out of Jack's hand and begins to weep. She accuses Sophia of making up disgusting lies to ruin their romantic evening. Chloe asks if she must get down on her knees to keep Jack beside her. Jack wraps his arms around Chloe and takes the phone back. He shouts insults at Sophia for tormenting his mistress. Robert Clark takes the phone from Sophia's hands. He speaks directly into the receiver. Clark confirms that Master Dalton was in a car crash and lies critically wounded at Central City Hospital. He urges Jack to arrive within thirty minutes.

Jack Throws Away His Phone and Defends His Mistress

Toby Harper steps into the conversation at the amusement park. Toby scoffs at the lawyer's urgent warning. He tells Jack that the entire phone call is a stunt staged by Sophia. Toby claims that his own friend at the hospital found no record of an emergency. Jack believes him at once and turns on his wife. Jack declares that Sophia disgusts him for using his father's life as an excuse to manipulate him. He throws his phone into the amusement park bushes. Jack stays with Chloe under the fireworks.

The call cuts off abruptly in Robert Clark's ear. Clark stares at the phone. Moments later, Vicky Porter charges toward the intensive care unit with a crowd of relatives. Vicky swings her hand at Sophia's face. Sophia dodges the blow. Vicky curses Sophia for failing to keep Jack in the city. She threatens to skin Sophia alive if Noah takes the fortune. Robert Clark steps forward and shields Sophia from the physical assault.

Distant relatives whisper against the corridor wall. They mention that Vicky drove Albert's first wife away years ago. She banished Noah Dalton without legal marriage status. Sophia watches the relatives squabble over money. She knows that without Jack's inheritance, these parasites will all be thrown out of the estate. Vicky orders Sophia to call Toby Harper immediately. Sophia dials Toby and activates the speakerphone. Toby insults Sophia at once, telling her to stop clinging to Jack like an annoying housewife.

Sophia stays calm. She speaks clearly into the microphone so the entire family can hear her. She states that Chairman Dalton is dying and has created a race for the estate. Whichever brother reaches Albert's bed first will take every single asset. Vicky's anger turns to fear the moment she hears the terms. She snatches the phone from Sophia. Vicky weeps into the speaker and begs Toby to send Jack back to the hospital immediately.

Sophia Vows to Strip Jack of His Wealth

The doctor steps out of the ward to consult with the family. He promises to keep the relatives informed about Albert Dalton's condition. Vicky Porter exhales with relief. She convinces herself that Jack will arrive shortly and solve the crisis. She believes that Jack will claim the company as soon as he steps into the building.

Toby Harper calls Sophia back on speakerphone from the amusement park. He laughs aloud and mocks the panic in the hospital. Toby insists that Jack saw through Sophia's trick. He boasts that Jack intends to divorce Sophia tomorrow morning and marry Chloe. Toby claims that Sophia will walk away with nothing. He repeats Jack's exact words: even if the king of heaven showed up tonight, nobody could interrupt his private time with Chloe.

Sophia shows no sorrow after Toby hangs up. She confronts her frantic mother-in-law directly. Sophia recounts the past three years of her marriage. She sacrificed her own well-being to secure Jack's status in the conglomerate. Jack repaid her loyalty by squandering vast corporate wealth on Chloe Harper. Sophia tells Vicky that her husband chose his mistress over his family duty. Sophia declares that if Jack believes his true love is supreme, he will not receive a single cent of the Dalton family fortune.

Sophia Takes the Blame While Jack Drops His Phones in the Lake

Company directors Mr. Marshall and Mr. Fisher rush off the elevator into the hospital hallway. They demand to see Jack immediately. Vicky Porter points her finger at Sophia and claims that the wife failed her duties. Mr. Fisher loses his temper completely. He throws a stack of corporate documents directly at Sophia. He curses Sophia and asks what she is even good for. Sophia does not flinch as the papers scatter across the floor.

Dr. Brown emerges from the intensive care unit with grim news. He informs the crowd that Master Dalton has twenty minutes left to live at most. He urges the family to settle their affairs before the chairman passes away. Vicky panics and redials Jack's phone over and over.

Jack sits inside a Ferris wheel cabin high above the city. Fireworks burst in bright flashes outside the glass windows. Chloe rests against his shoulder and winces at the sound of the ringing phone. She complains that the constant ringing ruins their private paradise. Chloe asks Jack to throw the phone away so his world belongs only to her. Jack smiles at his mistress. He promises that he will stand by her side even if the sky collapses. Jack rolls down the cabin window and drops his phones into the open air. The devices tumble down into the dark water of the lake below.

Noah Approaches the Hospital While Jack Stays Away

Jack's phone cannot be connected. Vicky screams in frustration and hits the redial button, but the line remains completely dead. The relatives by the ICU doors go quiet. Albert's twenty minutes keep running.

One female relative tries to comfort Vicky. She tells Vicky that Noah is still overseas. She claims that an international flight takes hours and that Noah cannot possibly appear in time. Jack, she says, is still closer.

Then an assistant sprints down the corridor toward the crowd. Out of breath, the assistant says Noah is already in a car on his way to the hospital. The assistant warns that Noah will reach the hospital in ten minutes.

Vicky screams. The relatives start shouting at each other. Sophia stands alone against the wall. She watches Jack's family fall apart without lifting a finger to help them. Jack is still up in the Ferris wheel with Chloe. His phones are at the bottom of the lake, and he still thinks the whole thing is Sophia's trick. Noah is ten minutes away.
