Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 405

Chapter 405

Alexander's statement plunged everyone into sheer shock. All the shareholders in the conference roomwere stunned, and they all gaped at Sophia, who was walking in slowly.

Among them, Dillon's disbelief was the greatest. “This is impossible! Ms. Yarrow, you said that youwere Suny's executive assistant previously! You were a mere assistant, so how did you become—”

Before he could finish speaking, he abruptly stopped short, for realization had dawned upon him mid-utterance.

Suny has remained behind the scenes all these years. As such, few within the industry are aware ofher true identity. In recent years, it's been either Sophia or Yvonne who stepped out to handle SunshineGroup's business matters. Judging from that, there's seemingly nothing amiss. But when I sought Sunyout back then, I once threatened Sophia with a big project, saying that she might not necessarily beable to take responsibility if she were to cause the company to miss it. Yvonne, however, declared thatSophia's decision was also Suny's. At that time, I merely thought Sophia was acting high and mighty.

Thinking back to it, he sensed waves of mortification crashing over him.

Sophia is none other than Suny! Back then, she was merely playing me for a fool!

At that thought, he paled before flushing bright red in fury, alternating between the two.

No wonder! No wonder I didn't get to meet Suny even once back when I went knocking on thecompany's door. It makes sense why Sunshine Group suddenly interfered in the matter and acquiredOdyssey's shares. It turned out that such is the truth! So, this is the reason for it all!

Dillon pinned his eyes on Alexander and Sophia, shooting daggers at them.

Noticing his gaze, Sophia merely smiled faintly. “You look exceedingly surprised, Old Mr. Xenos. Why isthat so? Is it so unbelievable to you that I'm Suny or do you think that I came here especially toimpersonate Suny?”

After saying that, she scanned her gaze over the other shareholders with a half-smile on her face andcontinued, “I know all of you here might replace it incredulous that I'm Suny or feel that I don't quite matchthe image of Suny in your minds. Regretfully, I'm really Suny. As I prefer keeping a low profile, I hadn'tbeen showing my face around in the past few years. But this time, Mr. Xenos invited me to this meetingsincerely. I replace no point in concealing my identity and decided to take this opportunity to make it public.Don't worry. While I'm one of Odyssey's shareholders, I've never liked interfering in a company'soperations. I think anyone familiar with Sunshine Group knows that. That being so, just consider me anobserver today.”

She sounded calm and unruffled, but the same could not be said of the crowd before her.

No one would be able to remain unmoved when Suny, who had only ever been known in name, hadmade an appearance right then. That aside, it was none other than Sophia, whom everyone wasfamiliar with yet never taken seriously. It gave most people a sense of inexplicable embarrassment.

All of them could imagine the uproar that would soon sweep over Jadeborough after Suny's identitycame to light that day.

Ultimately, however, everyone there was a veteran in the business field, having been through varioustrials and tribulations. Despite feeling shocked beyond words, they still had to accept the truth followingSophia's explanation, regardless of how bitter a pill it was to swallow.

On top of that, her present identity was extraordinary, not to mention that she was also Alexander'sgirlfriend. That made it a powerful alliance. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell Odyssey had abright future ahead.

From that perspective, this matter was great news. With Sophia as one of Odyssey's shareholders, itwould be practically impossible for the company to go bankrupt one day.

On the contrary, Dillon did not feel the same. Alas, his thoughts could no longer change anything.

He knew that he had been played for a fool by Sophia and Alexander, but there was nothing he coulddo about it.

He had lost, and it was a devastating defeat at that.

Throughout the meeting, he did not say a single word further, merely glaring at Sophia and Alexandericily.

Alexander had even instructed Felix to arrange for reporters to come over. There would be a series ofinterviews after the meeting had ended.

Getting to his feet, Dillon left right away. The other shareholders were aware of the intense battlebetween Alexander and Dillon sometime ago, so none of them said anything to stop him from leavingthen.

After all, the more dependable person between the two men was clear as day.

Winners took it all, and that had always held true since ancient times. In fact, Dillon had never won. Hewas merely a clown whose end was near.

Sophia trained her eyes on Dillon's back as he left. Delight danced in her eyes, and her mood took aturn for the better.

I wonder if his blood pressure will skyrocket from his fury toward me.

By then, the reporters had already arrived. Retracting her gaze, she exchanged a look with Alexander.Neither of them spoke, but both knew the other's thoughts.

It was past eleven o'clock when everything had wrapped up. Alexander left Odyssey with Sophia forlunch.

As the interviews earlier were broadcasted live, everyone in the business field knew that SunshineGroup's chairperson, Suny, was Sophia within half an hour.

The myriad of trending debates on Twitter from the premiere of Going Forward yesterday night stillpersisted that day.

Needless to say, the most heated topic was the matter of Sharon defaming Sophia. As a rising singerwho had been lauded as the queen of modern love songs, she had a huge fanbase.

Katherine took the lead in condemning her last night. Even at that instant, almost all the trendingheadlines on Twitter had to do with the matter.

When the fact that Sophia was Sunshine Group's chairperson, Suny, came to light that day, Twitter

crashed. It only gradually went back online at a quarter past twelve.

At the same time, Sophia's identity as Suny topped the trending list.

Following that turn of events, Sharon's fans were all bewildered. Those young and dense were baffled,but the majority understood its significance.

That was to say, Sophia was not strapped for cash, much less the paltry sum from making a name forherself in the entertainment industry. Therefore, the post that Sharon paid someone to publish, whichinsinuated that Sophia obtained the answers beforehand to debut, did not exist at all.

Besides, it was also a slap in the face to many who had always felt that Sophia was unworthy ofAlexander and was with him for his money.

Although the Dawson family had acknowledged her as part of the family a while ago, many people stillfelt they were separate entities. While she was the granddaughter of the Dawson family, the possibilitythat she was a gold digger still existed.

At the end of the day, everyone loved money.

Furthermore, Lukas was the heir of the Dawson family, whereas Sophia was merely a granddaughter.

But right then, she was Sunshine Group's chairperson and the company's biggest shareholder.

Sunshine Group was an investment company that appeared out of thin air five years ago, and severalfast-growing companies today were inextricably linked to it.

In other words, Sophia might not necessarily be less affluent than Alexander.

She herself was a true wealthy lady in her own right.

Unexpectedly, that was not the most shocking news. Instead, it was the sudden apology videoaddressed to Sophia, uploaded on Sharon's Twitter account.

Since it was a video and not in text format, Sharon's fans could not deny their idol's culpabilityanymore, even if they wanted to do so.

If it were a piece of writing, they could delude themselves that it might be her manager who took controlof her Twitter account and posted the message. However, it was a video. If Sharon had remained tight-lipped, the apology video would never have existed.

The instant the apology video was released, all netizens plunged into an uproar. The admission of heractions previously led to the loss of a large number of fans.

When Katherine learned about it, she cackled with her phone in hand.

Sophia had just seen Sharon's apology video when Alexander drove the car over. Withdrawing hergaze, she stuffed her phone into her pocket and headed toward the vehicle.

No sooner had she gotten into the car than her phone rang. It was a call from an unknown number.

Arching a brow, she answered the call. “Hello, this is Sophia speaking.”

She was in a good mood, so she did not decline the call.

“Hello, Ms. Yarrow. This is Sharon Xerxes's manager, Justina Davis. May I know if you're free thisafternoon? Can we meet with you?”

Ah, this is about paying me a visit to apologize.

Glancing at Alexander beside her, Sophia replied smirkingly, “I have a meeting in the afternoon. If youdon't mind, you can come to Sunshine Group at five o'clock.”

An apology online isn't sincere at all. Since Sharon wants to come and apologize in person, I naturallyhave to listen to it personally.
