Chapter 364

“Why?”

Alexander gazed at her with slightly furrowed brows.

Sophia tied her hair up, walked over to him, and nestled into his arms. “My granddad already knowswhat happened.”

The man was unusually taken aback. “It'll be fine.”

She looked up at him and chuckled. “But he gets mad the moment he sees you.”

“That won't happen soon enough.”

Intrigued by his remark, Sophia arched an eyebrow and asked, “What are you planning to do?”

“I had Mr. Lane prepare an agreement,” Alexander admitted.

“What agreement?”

Not saying anything, he grabbed his phone from the side, opened up the electronic document, andplaced it in front of her.

She shot him a glance before taking the phone and swiping her finger across the screen to read theagreement he had mentioned.

A prenup? Oh, no, to be exact, it's an agreement that would take effect both before and after marriage.

The agreement stated that if Alexander were ever unfaithful to Sophia, all of his assets would betransferred to her, regardless of whether the two of them were dating or already bound by marriage.

No one would ever complain about having too much money.

Alexander's shares in Odyssey itself were already worth over four million in Anglandurn currency, butthose were not the only shares declared in the agreement. Even his Fortuna shares were listed in it.

In other words, the man was betting his entire fortune on his relationship with Sophia and could loseeverything in one night if he were to cheat on her.

While money did not mean as much to Sophia as it did to many others, not to mention that she wasalso wealthy, she was certainly still astounded by all those assets worth over a hundred billion inAnglandurn currency laid out in front of her.

The woman stared at the electronic document for a while before letting out a chuckle. “Aren't youworried I'd get someone to set you up?”

Alexander glanced at her. “You wouldn't.”

He spoke with absolute confidence while clutching her hand.

Feeling her cheeks burn from his stare, Sophia tried to retract her hand but could not do so due to histight grip on it. She then gazed up at him, crinkling her eyes in a smile. “Do you think my granddad willgive in just because of this?”

“Whether or not he does is a different matter, but this is my way of showing my sincerity.”

He certainly was sincere.

Sophia huffed. “I want some oatmeal tonight.”

Having taken the train and spent nearly an hour in the car, she did not want to eat much else.

Alexander finally let go of her. “Okay. I'll get someone to send some over.”

After taking care of matters between Tanya and Liam, Sophia had Yvonne handle the rest regardingConnor and Yvette.

The trap had long been laid for Connor, while Yvonne had already gotten someone to replace and erase allthe videos in Yvette's hands.

It was about time those two paid for their crimes.

Yvette had anticipated such a day to arrive the moment she found out she had lost all the videos; it wasjust far sooner than she had expected.

Nevertheless, she had already fled the country several days ago. It was none of her concern if othersscorned her for being selfish. She was genuinely terrified of Sophia at that point.

After receiving a call from her parents, Yvette gazed at the setting sun outside the window and recalledthe incident from eight years ago. If she had not said all those things to Connor back then, would she

have gotten married to Henry and started her own beautiful family by then?

Alas, there were no ifs. Everything changed the moment she met Sophia.

She used to blame Sophia for robbing her of everything she had, as well as for refusing to let her gountil the end.

It was only after hearing from her parents that her family had gone bankrupt and was even over eightymillion in debt did Yvette suddenly realize that Sophia was never to blame. It was her own fault allalong.

Everything had happened because of her own jealousy and narrow-mindedness.

However, it was all too late by then. There was no going back in time.

At that thought, the woman covered her face and began to sob.

Meanwhile, Yvonne reported to Sophia immediately after learning that the Saunderses had contactedYvette. “I've found out where Yvette is, Ms. Yarrow. She's currently in Jetroina.”

Upon hearing that, Sophia lifted her head and glanced at Yvonne. “I thought she'd have at least run offto Epea. I didn't think she'd be in Jetroina instead.”

She must really have reached the end of the road, seeing that she couldn't afford to flee to Epea,though it's no surprise. The Saunderses are bankrupt now, so I suppose she doesn't have much moneyleft on her. I can imagine just how miserable her life will be from now on. Then again, it has nothing todo with me. None of this would've happened to her if she hadn't committed those misdeeds back then.

“What about Connor?” Sophia asked while tapping her pen on the paper.

“His bride left with all his savings, so he's been trapped in his own house thanks to all the creditorsgoing after him.”

Sophia could not resist clicking her tongue at the thought of how Connor used to go around flauntinghis wealth at school. “Do you have his number?”

Yvonne took out her phone, browsed her contact list, and sent Connor's number to Sophia onWhatsApp. “I've sent it to you, Ms. Yarrow.”

Sophia smiled as her phone screen lit up. “Okay, thanks. You can get back to work now.”

Yvonne nodded and showed herself out of the office, closing the door behind her.

Sophia was not the type to kick a man when he was down, but that time around, she was adamantabout letting a scumbag like Connor know what he did wrong.

Of course, whether or not he would repent was none of her concern.

After glancing at the number displayed on her phone screen, Sophia stood up and walked toward thefloor-to-ceiling window, where she made the call.

No one picked up the first time, so she patiently tried again, only to receive the same result. Unlike herusual impatient self, she dialed the number for the third time without a frown on her face.

The misery Connor faced in his life then was completely unprecedented. He went bankrupt out of theblue and even owed tens of millions in foreign debt. Creditors would show up at his door each day,demanding that he pay what he owed them.

His bride ran off with all the gold bars and cash he had at home, and his cars were towed away ascollateral.

Still, those cars were not enough to clear his debts. His workers, who had not received their pay, wouldcrowd around outside his mansion every single day, whereas calls from loan sharks kept coming.

At present, Connor glanced at the unknown number that was calling him for the third time. It seemedplain obvious to him that the caller was one of his creditors, so he instinctively wanted to smash hisphone to free himself from the annoyance.

Yet, as he stared at the number, he was seized by a sudden impulse and ultimately decided to answerthe call.

He was not sure why, but for some reason, he secretly hoped that it was his runaway wife calling.

To his disappointment, what came through the line was an unfamiliar woman's voice. “Hello, Connor.Do you still remember me?”

Sophia paused briefly before continuing, “This is Sophia Yarrow speaking.”

Sophia!

She was the woman he had failed to woo, even after his two-year courtship of her when they were in

university; the woman he had always wanted but could never have.

Connor had no idea what she wanted from him, given that she was suddenly calling him when it hadbeen five years since their graduation. “How did you get my number?” he asked.

“Is it that unusual? Not only do I have your number, but I also know what's been going on in your life.”

Men always had a maniacal stubbornness to appear tough in front of the women they wanted but couldnot have, and Connor was no exception. “What do you know?” he demanded, feeling a stab in his heartfrom Sophia's words.

He refused to believe it.

“Nothing much. All I know is that your family's company has gone bankrupt, and you haven't paid overa hundred employees their wages. You're also unable to pay off the remainder of your projects, so younow have a foreign debt of about seventy million,” Sophia remarked.

She then chuckled and added, “Oh, and it looks like your wife ran off with all your family's cash andjewelry.”

“You've been spying on me?”

“Please don't put it that way. I don't have such a hobby.”

A moment of silence later, Sophia continued, “I just tend to have more confidence in the things I domyself.”

“It was you! You did it! Why? Why would you do this to me? Is it just because I courted you for twoyears back in university?”

Unsurprisingly, Tanya was just an insignificant character in his life, so he had long forgotten the horriblething he had done to her.

“Have you forgotten what you did to Tanya?” Sophia scoffed.

“Who's Tanya? I've dated about a hundred girls in the past! You can't possibly be coming after mebecause of them—”

Suddenly, Connor's expression stiffened.
