Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 489

Chapter 489 Okay Then

News of Dillon's death soon traveled to Jadeborough. Percy felt strangely uneasy when he learned about the news.

Sure enough, his sixth sense was right.

As soon as Sophia gave Felix the order to file a police report against Percy for embezzlement of company funds, Felix gathered all the evidence and handed them to the police that morning. At around three in the afternoon, Percy was taken away by police officers from the economic crime department.

Percy had yet to realize what was happening when he was being taken away. In fact, he did not look the slightest bit guilty.

"I'll cooperate with the investigation, officer."

Percy looked too calm to be a criminal.

When Sophia heard the economic crime police officers had arrived, she purposely took the elevator to wait on the first floor. After all, it was a rare scene.

It did not take long for her to see a few policemen leading Percy out of the elevator.

With a smile on her face, she approached them and asked, "What's going on?"

Percy scowled at the sight of her, but he quickly recollected himself. "It's nothing. The officers said someone reported me for embezzling the company's funds, so I'm going to the station to cooperate with their investigation."

Sophia flashed him a meaningful smile. "Please do your best, Mr. Zaat."

With that, she turned around and walked off in the opposite direction.

When Percy turned around to glance at her, she had already arrived at the elevator door.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him when he recalled her ambiguous smile from moments ago. His countenance changed, and his heart pounded with panic.

"Let's go." The police officer nudged him.

Percy quickly gathered his thoughts and left with the officers.

Soon, news about Percy being taken away for investigation spread like wildfire among the employees of Odyssey. Even the senior executives who were on his side began feeling uneasy.

On the third day after Percy was taken away, his men finally surrendered to Sophia.

However, she did not respond to them. She simply watched as they fought among themselves.

Two weeks after Percy's arrest, almost all the company's traitors were exposed. That was when Sophie gave Felix the green light to eliminate all of them.

Percy was next after they dealt with his people.

Sophia did not have to do anything, though. After all, the evidence was solid. Percy would need a scapegoat if he wanted to get out of his predicament.

Unfortunately for him, Sophia had cut him off from Truce and the others. Basically, Percy was on his own, and no one wanted to be his scapegoat.

Sophia and Claudius had been busy for the past few days. And with the time difference, they barely interacted with each other.

Sophia's life became smoother when Percy's matters ended. She even got lazier and slept until nine o'clock in the morning.

Upon finding her phone, she realized Claudius had called her after she had fallen asleep last night.

Sophia raised a brow, no longer feeling sleepy.

It should be around seven o'clock at night over there. She gazed at her phone, feeling a little hesitant. Still, she returned the call.

The moment Claudius' phone rang, everyone in the conference room fell silent.

Claudius glanced at the phone on the table. Seeing the caller's name, he picked it up and walked out of the conference room. "One moment, please."

The manager, who was in the middle of a presentation, instantly paused the slides and watched Claudius step out of the room.

The phone rang for quite some time without Claudius picking up. Just as Sophia was about to hang up, the call connected.

"It's me, Sophia."

The two had not seen each other for more than twenty days. However, Sophia did not really miss Claudius when she was busy with work. Now that things had calmed down, she had the sudden urge to secretly pay him a visit.

A subtle smile formed on her lips as she glanced out of the window. "I just woke up and realized I missed your call last night. What's up?"

The sixteen-hour time difference made it difficult for them to communicate via phone calls.

"Nothing. I just wanted to hear your voice."

Sophia was taken aback by the deep voice that came through the phone's speakers.
