Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 306

Meanwhile, at the Queen residence, Harold and his wife were speculating about the identity of the mysterious Suny from Sunshine Group.
Meanwhile, at the Queen residence, Harold and his wife were speculating about the identity of the mysterious Suny from Sunshine Group.

The day before yesterday, Jessica had brought Megan to Sunshine Group to apologize to Sophia. Even then, Jessica sensed that Yvonne was behaving oddly toward Sophia. They seemed to not act like regular colleagues. If anything, there seemed to be hints of a superior and subordinate relationship.

The moment Jessica left Sunshine Group, she put the incident behind her after going to a specialty store with Megan.

When Harold got back from dinner, he mentioned that one of the guests brought up a newly-listed company called Technology Innovations. He could not help but think of Sophia and exclaimed, “This Sophia doesn't seem like a regular woman. I think you and Meg should at least try and get along with her peacefully. If you can't, just let it go.”

After all, the Queen family stood to lose the most in these conflicts.

The thing about Sophia's 'mishaps' was just how strangely calculated they were. One could say that it was all part of her scheme, but that was also not the case at all. Looking back, Jessica and Megan felt that they were being played right into Sophia's hands, which resulted in turmoil.

After hearing what her husband had to say, Jessica thought of what happened the other day and replied, “I went with Meg to Sunshine Group the other day. The person who brought us to Sophia was Yvonne, who also happens to be Suny's secretary. The strange thing is that Yvonne's behavior toward Sophia was oddly respectful, considering that they were both just colleagues. Yvonne was basically doing everything Sophia instructed her to do.”

Harold was a smart man. As Jessica was from the prominent Schmidt family, she had a keen eye for observing emotions and behavior. When she brought this up, Harold felt another thing nagging at him.

Suny of Sunshine Group was mysterious indeed. Sunshine Group was a rising star in the investment community, given that they had plenty of funds and tenacity in business. However, they still had an ominous background.

Since the company's conception about seven or eight years ago, Suny's identity had remained an enigma even to this day. One had to admit that Suny was truly formidable in that regard, seeing as nobody had managed to uncover his identity.

After Sophia divorced Alexander, she had since become a major shareholder in Specter Entertainment, albeit secretively. Sophia also became one of the founders of Technology Innovations, yet she had never been to Technology Innovations, nor was she at Specter Entertainment to oversee operations. Instead, Sophia became a special assistant at Sunshine Group. If anything, she seemed to be quite intriguing.

The answer was effectively staring them in the face, but Harold was not so easily convinced. “That's impossible. If Sophia is actually Suny, why did she endure so much ridicule over her not being Alexander's equal for three years? Yet, who would dare speak this way about her behind her back if she were Suny?”

Jessica was also hoping that Sophia was not Suny, even more so than Harold was. Despite being the wife of a wealthy household and spending much of her time at home, she was not completely ignorant.

If Sophia is, in fact, Suny, then the Queen family has really messed up, given the number of times we've butted heads with her.

“Samuel knows Alexander. I think I'll ask him tomorrow.”

Harold nodded and replied, “Okay, I think you should get some rest. Regardless of whether or not Sophia is Suny, I think you should avoid treading on her toes in the future.”

“Of course.” Although Jessica had little love for Sophia, she dared not incur Sophia's wrath after being taught a lesson once or twice.

With a click, the lights were turned off, and the room was plunged into darkness.

Alexander gently draped an arm over Sophia before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

Sophia, however, was awakened by the six o'clock alarm. Because it was too early, she had trouble opening her eyes.

Alexander reached over to turn off the alarm and looked out of the window. A faint light could be seen peeking through the curtains, signaling that daybreak had come.

It was dim inside the room, but one could vaguely make out the interior.

Alexander then turned to look at Sophia, who still lay next to him. “Precious?” he murmured.

Sophia had already woken up but did not want to open her eyes. Since Alexander had called out to her, she opened her eyes reluctantly.

Immediately, she yawned.

Sophia's delicate eyes were covered in a layer of mist. Alexander looked at her and, in a voice still husky from sleep, said, “You're up?”

“Yes,” murmured Sophia impassively.

She was still feeling groggy and therefore responded a little coldly.

Sophia sat up and waited for the drowsiness to pass when Alexander turned to kiss her on the eyelids out of the blue.

Alexander's kiss had gotten rid of the vestiges of sleep. When Sophia saw his dark, fathomless eyes staring back at her, she could feel her heart skip a beat as she blushed and looked away. “Genie, open the windows.”

The thick curtains gradually pulled away to allow the sunlight in. Immediately, they both felt wide awake.

While squinting, Sophia said, “I'm going to wash up.”

“Okay.”

Alexander watched as she walked to the bathroom before retracting his gaze and looking elsewhere for a bit. His dark eyes flickered before he eventually got out of bed as well.

The filming of the first episode was not too difficult, but the second episode became more challenging. The clues were no longer as obvious or noticeable, and the participants had to pass through more checkpoints to proceed. Besides their intelligence, their physical strength and athletic talent were tested as well.

However, these challenges were not too difficult for Sophia. Eventually, both she and Katherine emerged victorious once again.

Having already filmed two episodes of the show, Sophia could tentatively gauge where the show was going. Even though the third episode was even more difficult than the last, Sophia was prepared to handle the challenges.

If Sophio is, in foct, Suny, then the Queen fomily hos reolly messed up, given the number of times we've butted heods with her.

“Somuel knows Alexonder. I think I'll osk him tomorrow.”

Horold nodded ond replied, “Okoy, I think you should get some rest. Regordless of whether or not Sophio is Suny, I think you should ovoid treoding on her toes in the future.”

“Of course.” Although Jessico hod little love for Sophio, she dored not incur Sophio's wroth ofter being tought o lesson once or twice.

With o click, the lights were turned off, ond the room wos plunged into dorkness.

Alexonder gently droped on orm over Sophio before closing his eyes ond folling osleep.

Sophio, however, wos owokened by the six o'clock olorm. Becouse it wos too eorly, she hod trouble opening her eyes.

Alexonder reoched over to turn off the olorm ond looked out of the window. A foint light could be seen peeking through the curtoins, signoling thot doybreok hod come.

It wos dim inside the room, but one could voguely moke out the interior.

Alexonder then turned to look ot Sophio, who still loy next to him. “Precious?” he murmured.

Sophio hod olreody woken up but did not wont to open her eyes. Since Alexonder hod colled out to her, she opened her eyes reluctontly.

Immediotely, she yowned.

Sophio's delicote eyes were covered in o loyer of mist. Alexonder looked ot her ond, in o voice still husky from sleep, soid, “You're up?”

“Yes,” murmured Sophio impossively.

She wos still feeling groggy ond therefore responded o little coldly.

Sophio sot up ond woited for the drowsiness to poss when Alexonder turned to kiss her on the eyelids out of the blue.

Alexonder's kiss hod gotten rid of the vestiges of sleep. When Sophio sow his dork, fothomless eyes storing bock ot her, she could feel her heort skip o beot os she blushed ond looked owoy. “Genie, open the windows.”

The thick curtoins groduolly pulled owoy to ollow the sunlight in. Immediotely, they both felt wide owoke.

While squinting, Sophio soid, “I'm going to wosh up.”

“Okoy.”

Alexonder wotched os she wolked to the bothroom before retrocting his goze ond looking elsewhere for o bit. His dork eyes flickered before he eventuolly got out of bed os well.

The filming of the first episode wos not too difficult, but the second episode become more chollenging. The clues were no longer os obvious or noticeoble, ond the porticiponts hod to poss through more checkpoints to proceed. Besides their intelligence, their physicol strength ond othletic tolent were tested os well.

However, these chollenges were not too difficult for Sophio. Eventuolly, both she ond Kotherine emerged victorious once ogoin.

Hoving olreody filmed two episodes of the show, Sophio could tentotively gouge where the show wos going. Even though the third episode wos even more difficult thon the lost, Sophio wos prepored to hondle the chollenges.

After the third episode was over, Sophia decided to pull out of the shoot after reaching a consensus with the production team. After all, she had no desire to make a debut, and thus the airtime was of no use to her.

Katherine was very bold. After Sophia withdrew from the show, Katherine asked Joshua to accompany her to another program.

However, the two had been together for so many years, and it was almost time to make their relationship public. This program was to be broadcast in September, so it was not a big deal.

Of course, they had other details to iron out later.

Sophia had spent the whole weekend filming the show, which she found to be fun and fulfilling.

However, something interesting happened after Sophia's meeting on Monday morning. After the meeting ended, she was cornered by a rather hesitant Yvonne.

Sophia rarely saw Yvonne behaving this way. As such, she looked at Yvonne and smiled before asking, “You seem to be struggling with something. Are you thinking of resigning, perhaps?”

Yvonne looked at Sophia embarrassedly and said, “I've never even contemplated such a thing, Ms. Yarrow.”

If she resigned, where was she going to find another employer who was as beautiful, gentle, and capable as Sophia?

That being said, she had tons of benefits while working for Sophia. Even if Yvonne wanted to jump ship, it was going to be difficult to find someone else who could treat her as well as Sophia had.

Sophia arched a fine brow. “Even if that were the case, I'm not letting you go.”

Yvonne was quite moved by this. She decided to jokingly make a vow to prove her loyalty. “Don't you worry, Ms. Yarrow. I swear to never change jobs for the rest of my life!”

Sophia merely glanced at her and asked, “Yet what is it that's making my omnipotent secretary so hesitant?”

Yvonne looked at Sophia sheepishly and said, “Ms. Yarrow, there have been rumors circulating over the past few days.”

“Oh? What are they gossiping about?”

Given that Yvonne seemed quite reluctant to elaborate further, Sophia could guess that the rumors were about her.

Sure enough, moments later, Sophia heard Yvonne say, “People think I'm Suny.”

Sophia was quite taken aback but soon began to laugh. “Who has been saying this?”

Anyone who thinks so has to be some kind of genius.

This was also the part that Yvonne struggled to articulate. She shifted uneasily and said, “Apparently, it was Mr. Schild of Midway Media.”

“It's Samuel, eh?” mused Sophia aloud.

That silly goose.

Sophia smiled gently and added, “Then you needn't take heed of such things.”

Besides, I don't even care. But I do wonder if Samuel will feel embarrassed when I reveal myself to be Suny.

That being said, Samuel's brain doesn't seem to operate like everyone else's.

How special of him, indeed.
