Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 433

Chapter 433 If Alexander Was Also There

To be honest, I don't have any plans regarding this matter related to Alexander. Samuel's question has genuinely stumped me.

Sophia turned to look out of the car window and was quiet for a few moments before saying, "I don't have any plans. I just want to wrap my mind around this situation as best as I can and figure out what exactly is happening."

Samuel gazed at her with a somewhat dispirited expression. "You're right." After a brief pause, he added, "By the way, has Alex ever told you about Fortuna?"

When Alexander studied abroad years ago, he and a college classmate co-founded Fortuna. Afterward, his classmate returned home to inherit his family business and sold all his shares to Alexander, making Alexander the largest shareholder of Fortuna.

However, not many people knew about that.

Most people in the industry were under the impression that Fortuna's chairman was a foreigner. Despite that, no one knew what the so-called "foreign chairman" looked like, let alone associating him with Alexander.

Sophia averted her gaze and nodded. "I found out about that not long ago."

Samuel was a little surprised, but he quickly pulled himself together. "If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask."

"Of course."

With Alexander missing, the biggest challenge Sophia had to face now was handling Odyssey.

Although Dillon was no longer a threat, not all the remaining old-timers at Odyssey were truly loyal to Alexander. They were more like fence-sitters, swaying between sides. Some shrewd or ambitious ones were even waiting to take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits after all the conflicts ceased.

The news of Alexander's disappearance wouldn't remain a secret for long. Once the word got out, Odyssey would definitely be in turmoil again.

As the largest shareholder of Odyssey besides Alexander, it was reasonable for her to take over his position and manage the company.

Unfortunately, since the shares in her possession weren't substantial, it wasn't impossible for those old-timers to join forces against her and seize the opportunity while Alexander was absent.

Even though she had never been afraid of them, it was difficult to guard against others' secret ploys, so who knew what would happen in the future?

Alexander's current predicament occurred precisely due to such concealed maneuver.

Samuel was initially worried about Sophia, but after seeing her current state, he realized he was concerned for nothing. "No wonder Alex likes you."

Sophia was a little curious after listening to his remark. She turned her head sideways to look at him and asked with her brow raised, "Why do you say that?"

"You're different from the others."

Be it Bethany or Kayla, there were many socialites and wealthy ladies like them who could be a good match for Alexander. However, Sophia was the only one who stood out.

Even without the Dawson family, everything Sophia owned now was enough for her to be on par with Alexander in terms of their background.

She wasn't a parasitic vine that couldn't survive without clinging to others, as she was more than capable of surviving by relying on herself.

If that incident had occurred to any other person, they would've panicked by now, but Sophia didn't.

Even though she mentioned she had no plans, Samuel could tell she had already devised strategies for what she would do next.

The car soon exited the highway and gradually entered the city. Samuel glanced at Sophia sitting beside him. "Do you want to have lunch together?"

She shifted her gaze. "Will you be treating me, Mr. Schild? In that case, I shall take you up on that offer."

"You really are a perfect match for Alex."

Sophia enjoyed hearing comments like that. Perhaps all women love listening to these words. If Alexander were also here, I'd be more thrilled.

After having lunch together, Sophia and Samuel went their separate ways. She first made a trip to Odyssey and brought all the documents related to the company's several ongoing projects back to the mansion.

"Ms. Yarrow." Complicated emotions churned within Felix's chest as he saw her off at the company's entrance.

Sophia looked at him. "What's the matter?"

"This is a gift agreement that Mr. Xenos signed previously."

She glanced down at the agreement Felix was handing to her. She knew about the content of the document without even reading it.
