Being Pursued By Ex-husband

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. When she saw Sophia seemed to be okay, she sighed with relief. "We should go through the security check now, 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 the window, she thought about Rose's words.

Yvonne noticed Sophia was lost in her thoughts. So, she hesitated momentarily before asking, "Are you hungry, 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 ten days, 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 the bedside table.

I must say, Rose is intelligent. I doubt anyone expected her to have the will. When her train of thought ended 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't until 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 the morning before the sun rose.

After what happened to Alexander, Sophia took charge of Odyssey. Aside from her mealtime and sleep, 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 man together to the circle. Now, there are plenty of unsavory comments about you. Do you need me to take care 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 dealing with Odyssey's matter.

While he still didn't understand her well, even after working with her for more than half a year, he knew Sophia 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 from the back, and she didn't seem that intimate with the man, it was still the first time she was spotted spending time with a man since the incident more than half a year ago. Furthermore, the picture was taken 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 what would 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 all kinds 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 he vanished.

"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. Due to the angle, one could only see a fifth of his countenance. None of his facial features were even visible in the photo.

However, after working under Alexander for so many years and receiving a hint from Sophia, he recognized 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's still one more thing."

"Go ahead."

"Alexander has lost his memory. Currently, he's Claudius Lenoir. I'll ask Yvonne to send you his information later." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"He lost his memory?" Felix was still in an uplifting mood when he heard the bad news and was taken aback. "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 change before 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 to Odyssey with an umbrella.

News of Sophia's "new lover" slowly spread in Jadeborough's upper-class society. The people in the city 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's control for the past six months. So, it didn't matter if they were coveting her shares or position. If even the old codgers who planned to usurp her back then had settled down, there was nothing outsiders could do.

After constant failure to find something to criticize Sophia for half a year, those who were envious of her finally 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 was dispirited 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.
