Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 461

Chapter 461

In the meantime, Claudius, exited a restaurant in Lusterg to replace Yasmin blocking her path.

Rose had already discussed with Yasmin's parents to announce the cancellation of Yasmin andClaudius' engagement this week. Claudius wasn't into Yasmin, but the same could not be said forYasmin. The latter had been following Claudius around ever since he regained consciousness.

Yasmin, who was actively pursuing her doctorate degree, had plenty of time to win Claudius' heart.After all, it is always easier for women to pursue men. Yasmin believed that with time, Claudius wouldfall in love with her eventually.

That was her belief until Sophia showed up. Chanaea and Anglandur had a time difference of sixteenhours, so Yasmin received those photos at around five in the morning. Immediately after waking up,she flew all the way to Anglandur to look for Claudius, wanting to confront him.

However, Claudius was nearly impossible to replace. Ever since the day that Rose claimed she would talkto Yasmin's parents about the annulment of Yasmin and Claudius' engagement, Claudius' twobodyguards stopped revealing any information about his whereabouts.

Yasmin spent more than six hours flying to Lightspring, only to replace out that he was no longer there.Hence, she instantly flew back and headed straight for the hotel Claudius was staying at after shelanded.

To her dismay, he didn't even spare her a glance as he walked straight toward his car.

Yasmin gritted her teeth. "Claudius, aren't you interested in the information I have about Sophia?"

Claudius had just gotten into his car when he heard Yasmin's question. The man merely peered at her,showing no intention of getting down from the car.

Noticing that Claudius was still giving her the cold shoulder, Yasmin panicked. "My friend snapped afew photos of Sophia on a date with another man in Chanaea. Are you sure you don't want to look atit?"

A frown marred Claudius' countenance. Only then did he alight from the car, walking toward Yasmin."Hand over the photos."

Yasmin flashed the photos smugly and gave them to Claudius, arching her brows in excitement as shesaid, "Claudius, I've already told you she is not a decent woman. She flirted with you in Lightspring andtook advantage of her beauty to seduce you, but see for yourself! She has a boyfriend in Chanaea! Myfriend in Chanaea told me that the man in the photo wasn't even her boyfriend! He is her boyfriend'sfriend, and her boyfriend died in an accident half a year ago! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! I can't believe her! Oh mygoodness, she is such a wicked woman! How can she hook up with her boyfriend's friend? Now do youstill like her? Why did you cancel your engagement with me for an unscrupulous woman like her?Claudius, are you insane?"

Yasmin grew increasingly furious as she spoke, but just as she was about to elaborate further, she wasinterrupted by a ripping sound. Claudius tore the photos into pieces before throwing them to thebodyguards beside him. With that, he turned and got back into his car.

Yasmin was stunned by the man's reaction. She stared at Claudius in disbelief. "Claudius! What iswrong with you? Are you blind? Can't you see that Sophia was on a date with another man? Do youlike her that much to turn a blind eye toward the truth?"

Just then, Claudius turned sideways to look at Yasmin, sneering. "You're right. I like her a lot."

Then, Claudius instructed his driver to drive off, leaving behind a cloud of exhaust gas and harsh wordsthat cut deep into Yasmin's heart.

Yasmin stood rooted to the spot as Claudius' car disappeared into the darkness. She regained hersenses after a while, trembling in anger. "Claudius, you b*stard!"

She cursed loudly in Chanaean, attracting the attention of many passersby who looked over curiously.

Stomping her foot lividly, she waved her hand to hail a taxi.

The incident went down without Sophia's knowledge. After ruthlessly setting Alistair up during themeeting earlier, she felt much better, and her mood improved significantly.

Lifting her head to check the time, she realized it was time for lunch. She massaged her temples beforeleaving her office for a meal at the company's cafeteria.

Lukas' call came in just as she sat down. Sophia peered at the caller ID before placing the bowl of soupon the table. "Hi, Lukas."

"Have you eaten?"

"I've just ordered some food."

Lukas hummed in response on the other end of the line. "Have you found Alexander yet?"

Sophia's hand that was holding the spoon froze, and a smile formed on her lips. "Yes. I saw him inLightspring, Moranta."

"Why hasn't he returned to the country?"

"He lost his memories."

Lukas fell silent and didn't probe further into the matter. After asking Sophia how she was doing, hehung up the phone.

Sophia arched her brow while looking at her phone.

As expected from Lukas. He's smart enough to guess everything just by looking at one photo! Howimpressive!

At that point, Sophia's foul mood had dissipated for good, and even the plain food looked morescrumptious to her.

Samuel, on the other hand, was so frustrated that he didn't feel like eating anything. He did not expectrumors about him courting Sophia to spread after they merely had a meal and went to an auctiontogether.

Argh! Do they think I'm crazy? How would I have the guts to court Alexander's woman? First of all, shewould never fall in love with me, and second of all, I would never dare to do something like that! On top

of that, I'm perfectly aware of my own limits and know that there's no way I can handle an extraordinarywoman like Sophia! Alexander might be the only man who is compatible with her.

He couldn't help wondering whether those gossipers who claimed he was trying to snatch Alexander'swoman had a screw loose. Do they have nothing better to do? Why do they always like to talk behindothers' backs?

Samuel was so furious that he skipped lunch and instructed his secretary to replace the culprit behind thetittle-tattle.

Since it was rare for Samuel to blow his top, his secretary dared not make a peep and quickly carriedout the order. It wasn't difficult to identify the culprit in the digital era; one only needed to ask around inthe correct circle to get down to the root of the rumor. After all, the upper-class circle was small withonly a few families involved.

Samuel's secretary discovered the culprit in no time. It was none other than Cecily from the Youngfamily.

After replaceing out who the offender was, Samuel headed straight to the Young residence.

Meanwhile, Cecily had just received the bag worth more than three million from the auction the nightbefore and was admiring it when the butler informed them that a guest had arrived.

Cecily was unfazed while Bianca asked, "Who is it?"

"It's Mr. Schild, Mrs. Young."

Bianca was surprised beyond words when she heard of Samuel's arrival. She quickly tugged at herdaughter. "Stop looking at your bag! Mr. Schild is here. Come with me and meet him downstairs!"

Cecily pouted unwillingly. However, she relented and followed Bianca downstairs.

When they were halfway down the stairs, she remembered something and stopped in her tracks. Herface paled as she subconsciously turned around to return to her room, but to her dismay, Samuel hadalready come up the stairs. Immediately after spotting Cecily, he greeted her coldly, "Hi, Ms. Young. Wemeet again! What did I do to offend you? Why did you spread rumors about Sophia and me?"

Bianca, who was overjoyed upon learning that Samuel had come to visit, was shocked to see theman's hostile expression. Her expression changed drastically when she heard his words, and sheasked in alarm, "Is there a misunderstanding, Mr. Schild? Cecily has always been a good girl. She's notthe type to talk behind others' backs."

Naturally, Bianca was aware of her daughter's true nature, but she lacked the courage to come cleanbefore Samuel.

Playing dumb wasn't going to work on Samuel. He bluntly stated, "Apologize to the public and clear upthe rumors. Express your apologies to Sophia personally, too. Or else, serious consequences awaityou. You better watch your mouth, for trouble will come your way!" He snorted coldly before stormingout of the Young residence.
