Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 98

Chapter 98

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of Skye Hotel.

Sophia pushed the door open and got out of the car. Immediately after, Chester's assistant, ScottLarson, came up to greet her, “Ms. Yarrow!”

She smiled at him. “How is it? Did they start a fight inside?”

Scott was someone who had just graduated. When he saw her smile, he could not stop himself fromblushing. “N-No, they're not fighting, but Mr. Lodwich is waiting for you.”

She flashed him a half-smile. “Where are they now?”

“In Mr. Lodwich's office.”

“All right,” Sophia responded and stepped into the elevator.

“I've already called the police, so bring them up to his office when they arrive.”

She said those words like a breeze. The way she stated that she had called the police was as if shehad called a close friend over for dinner.

Scott was stunned for a moment before replying, “Yes, Ms. Yarrow. I'll have someone notify thereceptionist at the entrance.”

Grinning, Sophia cast her gaze upon him. “How many people from the Whitton family came?”

“Almost everyone in the family.”

She clicked her tongue. The Whitton family is really amazing. Do they think that they can win justbecause they have the numbers? What are they thinking?

The elevator soon came to a stop, and Sophia was brought to the door of Chester's office by Scott.

Before opening the door, Scott glanced at her worriedly. “Ms. Yarrow, please be careful. Mr. Lodwichwas scratched by them earlier.”

She raised her brows slightly. “Open the door.”

I want to see what kind of scene Priscilla and the Whitton family will make.

Scott nodded and raised his hand to knock on the door. “Mr. Lodwich, Ms. Yarrow has arrived.”

“Ms. Yarrow, you're here!”

The door was pulled open by someone inside. Chester looked at Sophia like she was his savior.

She raised her head and met with Priscilla's fierce glare. “Sophia Yarrow!”

Priscilla gnashed her teeth as though she could not wait to tear Sophia into pieces.

Sophia merely glanced at her. She doesn't look as wretched as I've expected.

Then, her eyes swept over the Whitton family members one by one and finally settled on JavierWhitton. “We finally meet, Mr. Whitton.”

“Who are you?”

Javier frowned with a sullen face.

Sophia smiled. “I'm an ex-classmate of Priscilla. Of course, as luck would have it, I'm also the chairmanof Skye Hotel. I heard that you wanted to see me, so I made a special trip from home to come here.”

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and she enunciated each word clearly. Priscilla, who heardher words, screamed, “It's you! You did it on purpose! Honey! It was her! She fed me the drug!”

“Priscilla, you need to speak with evidence.”

“Evidence? Seraphina and the others saw it with their own eyes!”

“They saw it with their own eyes?” Sophia laughed. “If I remember correctly, they were trapped insidethe restroom cubicle and were only found this morning by a hotel housekeeper, right? How did they seeit with their own eyes if they were trapped inside?”

“It was you! It was you! Honey, Dad, it was really her! She deliberately drugged me and brought meinside that room!”

As soon as Priscilla's words came out, Javier and Raymond Whitten, her husband, turned ashen.

Javier looked at Sophia. “We've already seen the surveillance footage. It was you who locked Prissy in

the room last night. Ms. Yarrow, if you don't give my family an explanation today, I don't think there's aneed for Skye Hotel to continue operating anymore!”

Sophia arched an eyebrow. “Mr. Whitton, do you think I did all that alone? You think I deliberatelydrugged Priscilla and asked your youngest son, Luke, to come over so that the Whitton family will beinvolved in a scandal?”

Javier had always cared for his reputation his whole life. When he heard Sophia bringing up the dirtylaundry involving his family, his face contorted in an indescribable manner. If not for Chester and Scottprotecting her, Javier might have already made his move against Sophia.

“Don't go too far! We came here today to ask you for an explanation, but what kind of attitude is this?Not only did you not admit your mistake, but you're even trying to push the blame to my sister-in-law?”

The person who spoke was Daniella Whitton, Priscilla's sister-in-law.

The Whitton family treats Priscilla quite well. They're very protective of her. It seems that I'veunderestimated her.

Sophia glanced at Priscilla and said, “It's not our hotel that's at fault, so we'll not admit it. Our restroomwas under maintenance yesterday, and it was Priscilla and the others who brought in the sign. I went toremind her, and then I kindly helped the uncomfortable Priscilla to her room to rest. There's nothing thatthe people from our hotel did wrong, so I don't agree with your saying that we're not admitting ourmistakes, Ms. Whitton.”

“I think you just have no intention of solving the matter today, Ms. Yarrow!” Javier said with a cold face.

She smiled. “Of course, I want to settle the matter, but that doesn't mean I have to accept your falseaccusations.”

“What do you mean by that, Ms. Yarrow?”

“Exactly what it sounds like.”

“Hah! Great! Absolutely great!”

Javier pointed at Sophia, raising his voice.

However, it was clear that he was extremely displeased with how this matter was handled. In fact, helooked so unhappy that he might bring a group of thugs to smash up the hotel the next day.

“Ms. Yarrow, let me give you a word of advice. Young people shouldn't be too arrogant. I'm afraid youmight lose it all tomorrow for being too full of yourself today.”

“Thank you for your advise, Mr. Whitton.”

Sophia responded flippantly, causing Javier's face to flush in anger. “You really don't know your place!”

Then he looked at his children behind him. “Let's go!”

Priscilla was reluctant. “Dad, are we really going to let this slide?”

She was still Mrs. Whitton regardless. If this matter got dropped so easily, the Whitton family wouldsimply regard her as an outcast. Hence, she knew she could not let the Whittons leave the hotel just

like that.

After this happened, Raymond would surely divorce her, as the Whitton family would not accept adaughter-in-law like her. In truth, she did not mind the divorce, but she had to make sure to get moneyfrom them.

“Let this slide? Of course, we will never let this matter slide.”

Javier snorted coldly and glanced at Sophia.

She met his gaze and smiled faintly.

The other members of the Whitton family were furious, but they could not directly point at Sophia andscold her since that would be too embarrassing.

Priscilla was even more frightened at Javier's words. “No! I'm not leaving. I won't leave! If you don't giveme a statement today, I'll end myself in front of you!”

She suddenly grabbed a pen from the desk and held it against her throat.

Sophia gave her a vague smile and said nonchalantly, “You really can't leave yet, Mr. Whitton. You doneed to give us an explanation about this matter today.”

Just then, someone knocked on the door from outside. “Mr. Lodwich, the police are here.”

“The police?”

The Whitton family's expressions changed again when they heard those words.
