Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 434

Chapter 434 I Faked It

At first, everyone was secretly pleased with what Sophia said in the beginning. When she finished her sentence, their faces fell.

Alistair, who was working with Percy, instantly expressed his disagreement. "See, that's where you're wrong, Ms. Yarrow. Sometimes, a company's development isn't entirely because of the decision-makers. Odyssey faced a loss when Mr. Xenos first took over Odyssey back then, remember? Yet, Odyssey is leading its peers now."

Sophia turned to Alistair and said nonchalantly, "So, you're saying that you cannot promise Odyssey will keep developing, right? Since everyone thinks I'm too inexperienced to take over the position, I willingly gave it up. As Odyssey's biggest shareholder, I want the new chairperson to ensure the company's development. Surely, my request is not too much? If everyone thinks it's too much, I can be the chairperson instead and will gladly compensate threefold the amount of loss we suffer during the period of my management based on what I had said earlier."

The second she finished, Percy, who had been displeased from the start, uttered coldly, "That's some confidence you have, Ms. Yarrow. As expected from the younger generation. I wonder how many days Odyssey can last in your care."

Chuckling, Sophia responded, "Since you are curious, surely you have no objections to me being the next chairperson?"

With that, Sophia paused before continuing, "Let's vote, then."

Percy was so furious that he stormed out of the room. Naturally, nobody else dared to object anymore.

As the biggest shareholder of Odyssey, Sophia still had the final say, even if they voted to decide.

Needless to say, she became Odyssey's chairperson effortlessly.

When Sophia exited Odyssey's building in the afternoon, a group of reporters swarmed her.

"Ms. Yarrow, could you tell us what Mr. Xenos' current condition is?"

"Ms. Yarrow, rumor has it that you've been chosen as Odyssey's chairperson. Congratulations! There's a rumor saying you had something to do with Mr. Xenos' incident. Apparently, you did it to get revenge for what he did to you back then. Do you have comments on this?"

"Ms. Yarrow, rumor has it that Mr. Xenos got into an accident. Is that true?"

The smile on Sophia's face gradually disappeared as the questions got more unpleasant.

She glanced at Felix and instructed, "Mr. Lane, please record the names of all the reporters here. Then, get the company's legal team to prepare warning letters for them."

The media had the habit of exploiting others to gain more readers. Thus, Sophia did not want to waste her breath on them.

Thankfully, Katherine's car rolled up at the right time.

With the help of Felix and the guards stopping the reporters, Sophia quickly got into the car.

Katherine had just found out about Alexander's accident. After all, she had been filming in another country, and Sophia had never told her about it. She rushed back the moment she heard the film crew talking about it.

Despite Sophia's indifference, Katherine knew the former was simply used to hiding her sorrow.

In fact, Sophia seemed unaffected when she got a divorce in the past, yet she had trouble sleeping during those nights. Katherine was the only person who truly understood her.

The fact that those reporters were shamelessly harassing Sophia enraged Katherine so much she wanted to run them over with her car.

Even so, she swallowed her fury and drove away from the insensitive employees of media companies.

Soon, the car got further from the building. As it came to a stop at the red light, Katherine turned sideways and tugged at Sophia's sleeve. "Are you okay, Soph?"

Sophia tilted her head to look at her friend, chuckling. "What's wrong? Are you worried I'd do something rash?"

"You won't, right?"

Sophia stared at the red light in front of the windshield. "Exactly. I won't."

Katherine had known Sophia for many years, but it was her first time seeing the latter in such a state. She felt bad and at a loss for what to do.

Katherine wanted to ask Sophia about Alexander's situation. However, she decided against it. She's already feeling terrible. Asking her questions will only make her feel worse.

Katherine could tell how serious things were. It was only normal for someone to feel so helpless at that moment.

Still, at least Sophia seemed to be in good condition.

Katherine hoped Sophia's health was fine, too.

It seemed that Katherine had quite the foresight as a few days after Katherine recounted everything to Joshua, Sophia fell sick.

When Sophia was admitted into the hospital, news about her fainting from grief spread all over Jadeborough.

The color drained from Katherine's face when she heard about it. She quickly changed into a pair of flats and shot out of the filming location. At that moment, the shoot was the least of her concerns.

Jonice tried her best to run after Katherine but to no avail.
