Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 450

Chapter 450

Just as Sophia left the cafe, Yvonne arrived after dropping off the luggage.

Yvonne was worried Rose would trouble Sophia, so she first glanced at Sophia's countenance. Whenshe saw Sophia seemed to be okay, she sighed with relief. "We should go through the security checknow, Ms. Yarrow."

In response, Sophia nodded. "Let's go."

After a nearly fifteen-hour flight, the plane landed in Jadeborough at nineish that night.

It was a rainy season during April in Jadeborough. As Sophia watched the raindrops stream down thewindow, she thought about Rose's words.

Yvonne noticed Sophia was lost in her thoughts. So, she hesitated momentarily before asking, "Are youhungry, Ms. Yarrow?"

Upon hearing Yvonne's words, Sophia turned her sight toward the former. "We'll eat something later."

"Okay."

It was already nearly eleven when Sophia arrived at the mansion. After staying in Moranta for over tendays, she had adjusted to the time zone there, so she wasn't feeling drowsy yet.

Before she returned, Felix had already asked people to clean up the mansion.

Jadeborough had just received a nearly week-long spring shower, so the mansion didn't smell pungent.

Sophia set aside her luggage, removed the will Rose entrusted her from her bag, and tossed it to thebedside table.

I must say, Rose is intelligent. I doubt anyone expected her to have the will. When her train of thoughtended there, she went to take a bath.

Due to jetlag, she hadn't felt sleepy yet. Thus, she turned on her computer to check a few files. It wasn'tuntil after three in the morning that she fell asleep.

It wasn't a pleasant slumber for her, and she had many short dreams. She woke up at seven in themorning before the sun rose.

After what happened to Alexander, Sophia took charge of Odyssey. Aside from her mealtime andsleep, she'd spend her waking hours working.

Right after she finished breakfast, Felix called her.

She hadn't told him about Claudius' matter.

There was a meeting during the morning, so Sophia thought Felix was calling her to inform her of last-minute changes to it.

She placed the cup in her hand down and answered the call. "It's me, Sophia."

"Good morning, Ms. Yarrow," greeted Felix.

"Good morning. Is there anything wrong with the company?"

"Everything's fine."

"In that case, why are you calling me, Mr. Lane?"

"I received a screenshot earlier. Apparently, someone sent a picture depicting you and another mantogether to the circle. Now, there are plenty of unsavory comments about you. Do you need me to takecare of it?"

Sophia raised her eyebrow. "What picture?"

"I've sent it to your WhatsApp."

"I'll take a look." As she spoke, she lowered her phone and turned on WhatsApp.

When she saw the photo Felix sent, she tutted. "I have something I haven't told you about, Mr. Lane."

Upon hearing that, Felix tightened his grip around his phone.

Ever since Alexander went missing, he became Sophia's secretary and was responsible for dealingwith Odyssey's matter.

While he still didn't understand her well, even after working with her for more than half a year, he knewSophia believe Alexander was still alive. Of course, he refused to accept Alexander was gone, too.

Earlier that day, he received a photo showing Sophia with another man. Even though it was taken fromthe back, and she didn't seem that intimate with the man, it was still the first time she was spottedspending time with a man since the incident more than half a year ago. Furthermore, the picture wastaken in a foreign country. It was difficult for anyone not to speculate.

While Felix didn't believe she would give up on Alexander that quickly, he was worried about whatwould happen if she did. After all, who else would continue to protect Odyssey for Alexander?

Hence, he felt a little troubled when he heard what Sophia said.

Still, he had been Alexander's secretary for nearly ten years. During that time, he had experienced allkinds of tribulations.

Thus, it took only two seconds for Felix to calm down. "Go ahead, Ms. Yarrow." We're just outsiders,and Sophia's still young. We don't have any right to request her to keep waiting for Mr. Xenos after hevanished.

"I found Alexander," Sophia revealed, which dumbfounded Felix.

Thinking that his ears were playing tricks on him, he asked incredulously, "Are you speaking the truth,Ms. Yarrow?"

She smiled. "I am. Take a closer look at the picture."

He was stunned for a moment before realizing something. Hastily, he zoomed in on the photo.

The photo was taken from behind. Sophia just so happened to turn her head to the side at that moment

so her face could be clearly seen. The man next to her was lowering his head and staring at her. Dueto the angle, one could only see a fifth of his countenance. None of his facial features were even visiblein the photo.

However, after working under Alexander for so many years and receiving a hint from Sophia, herecognized the man in the picture. "It's Mr. Xenos!"

"It is him." Sophia was slightly touched. It was her first time witnessing Felix being emotional. "There'sstill one more thing."

"Go ahead."

"Alexander has lost his memory. Currently, he's Claudius Lenoir. I'll ask Yvonne to send you hisinformation later."

"He lost his memory?" Felix was still in an uplifting mood when he heard the bad news and was takenaback. "Does this mean Mr. Xenos doesn't remember who you are, Ms. Yarrow?"

"It's fine." With a grin, Sophia added, "He'll remember me in the end."

Felix was moved as he pressed the edge of his eye. "I believe it, too."

After calming down, he recalled the matter regarding the photo. "What should I do with the picture?"

"Just leave it be," answered Sophia. I want to see who's trying to provoke me. "I'm going to changebefore heading to the company, so I'll be hanging up now."

"Okay. It's been raining lately, so please take care of yourself, Ms. Yarrow."

"Thank you. I will."

After the call disconnected, Sophia picked a coat from the wardrobe, put on a pair of boots, and went toOdyssey with an umbrella.

News of Sophia's "new lover" slowly spread in Jadeborough's upper-class society. The people in thecity were jealous of her because Alexander left her with Odyssey's shares, which they coveted.

Unfortunately for them, Odyssey didn't show any signs of deterioration while it was under Sophia'scontrol for the past six months. So, it didn't matter if they were coveting her shares or position. If eventhe old codgers who planned to usurp her back then had settled down, there was nothing outsiderscould do.

After constant failure to replace something to criticize Sophia for half a year, those who were envious of herfinally obtained the ammunition they needed. Thus, they began to badmouth her behind her back.

The news swiftly reached Samuel and the others. After what happened to Alexander, Samuel wasdispirited for a while. His personality became gloomier, and his usual naïve quality disappeared.

After Sophia left her meeting, Felix informed her that Samuel had arrived at her office to visit her.

In the end, he added, "I can tell Mr. Schild isn't in a good mood. I hope you won't pick a fight with him,Ms. Yarrow. He has always been very good to Mr. Xenos."

She smiled. "Don't worry. I won't."

As she spoke, she placed her documents in his hand before entering the elevator to return to her office.
