Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 479

Chapter 479 Protect It Well

Sophia watched Claudius amble past the security check and vanish from her sight before she left the airport.

The moment she stepped into her vehicle, her phone rang.

It was a text from Claudius saying he had boarded the plane.

Sophia grinned and texted back: Safe travels. Then, she put her phone aside and drove back to the company.

On the third day after Claudius left, Felix informed Sophia that a woman with the last name Lawre wanted to meet her.

Sophia thought about it. "Lawre?"

There aren't many people in Jadeborough with that last name. I only know a few of them, but I rarely interacted with them, much less met them privately before. The only person with that last name I can recall is Yasmin, who should be in Moranta.

When her train of thought ended there, she said, "Let her in." I'll know soon enough if it's Yasmin.

Felix nodded and promptly went downstairs to bring the visitor.

Soon, he returned and informed, "This is Ms. Lawre, Ms. Yarrow."

Sophia stared at Yasmin and grinned. "It's been a while, Ms. Lawre."

The second Felix heard that, he knew Sophia had met Yasmin before.

"Please bring me two glasses of fruit juice, Mr. Lane." Sophia shot a glance at him.

Nodding, Felix left.

Sophia then rose to her feet and approached Yasmin. "Have a seat over here, Ms. Lawre."

With a scoff, Yasmin planted herself on the couch.

Sitting across Yasmin, Sophia faced the former with a half-hearted smile. "Have you just returned from your vacation, Ms. Lawre?"

Yasmin wasn't interested in wasting time with Sophia, so she immediately pulled out a diagnosis report from her bag. "Let's cut to the chase, Sophia. I'm here today because of Claudius."

As she spoke, she delivered the report to Sophia. "Mdm. Lenoir is suffering from stage four breast cancer. In the few days that Claudius was back in Chanaea, she was sent to the emergency room. UI is the product of Mdm. Lenoir's and her husband's years of hard work. If anything happens to Mdm. Lenoir, Claudius won't be able to protect UI without my family's aid."

Yasmin glanced at Sophia before adding, "Your relationship with Claudius is a thing of the past. I'd say you two are fated not to stay together, considering he lost all memories of you. If you're smart, you'll let him go now. It'll be good for the both of you."

Sophia tilted her head downward, ever so slightly, to look at the report. A smile curved her lips as she questioned, "So, you're here today to persuade me to break up with Claudius? Am I right?"

"Don't worry. So long as you break up with Claudius, my family will help you handle your matters in Chanaea."

Sophia snickered in response, her gaze falling on the other woman. "You're so kind, Ms. Lawre."

She paused, then continued, "However, I' 'm afraid you failed to understand something. Aside from the fact that Claudius and I already knew each other, even after he lost his memory, the only woman he likes is me. You said I'm not fated to stay with him, so how do you explain that? I appreciate your kindness, Ms. Lawre, but I'm more than capable of protecting a company. Also, I won't hand my man over to another person so easily."

Just as she ended her sentence, Felix brought two glasses of juice into the room. Sophia cast a firm glance at the secretary and uttered flatly, "Please send Ms. Lawre out, Mr. Lane."

With that, she returned to her seat.

Felix glanced at Yasmin. Snapping back to his senses, he quickly placed the glasses down and strode to the woman's side. "Ms. Lawre, this way, please."

Yasmin did not expect Sophia to reject her in such an outright manner, and her expression dimmed at once. She stood up and glared daggers at the latter before scoffing, "Don't worry, Sophia. There will come a day when you'll have to beg me for my help!"

Sophia lifted her head and flashed Yasmin a composed smile. "Oh, I hope that day will come soon, for I'm not a very patient woman," was her response.

Her words only caused Yasmin's rage to intensify. The latter's face flushed red in anger as she gritted her teeth. She looked as though she had something to say but eventually tamped down her anger and decided against doing so upon seeing Felix.

After tossing another glare at Sophia, Yasmin clenched her jaw and spun on her heel to leave.

The door to the office was shut, leaving Sophia alone in the room. A slight grin played on her lips.

However, when her gaze landed on the diagnostic report sitting on the coffee table, her smile faltered slightly.

A frown crossed her face at the thought of Yasmin's words.

It seemed Rose wasn't doing well.

Indeed, the older woman was in critical condition. Claudius had only returned to Chanaea for a couple of days when she lost consciousness and was rushed to the emergency room.

The doctors managed to save her life, but unfortunately, they also mentioned that they had less than a month to live.

Rose's current condition was starkly different compared to before. Ever since she was resuscitated, her body became weaker, and she couldn't even leave the ward.

The woman refused to undergo chemotherapy, resulting in the worsening of her condition and causing her immense pain. She could only use morphine to alleviate some of her discomforts.
