Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 490

Chapter 490 You Need To Compensate

As soon as May was over, summer arrived at Jadeborough.

Ever since Katherine got pregnant, Jonice cleared the former's schedule, apart from the filming of some commercials and publicity projects.

Back then, Katherine badly wanted to get a six month break after working for six months. Now that she had all the time in the world, she spent most of it in Jadeborough having meals and shopping with Sophia every three to five days.

And ever since Percy was arrested, Sophia had fired all the employees he planted in Odyssey. Although the company had two major projects that year, Sophia let the deputy general manager and Felix handle them.

As for Sunshine Group, Sophia had basically delegated it to Yvonne, just like the time when Sophia was married to Alexander. Once in a while, she would visit the company to meet some clients or sign some contracts.

Now that she had handed the reins over, Sophia was not as busy as before.

On the other hand, Claudius was swamped with work, but he said nothing much about it. All he told her was that Truce and Bruce had sued him and started to rope in the company's former employees.

It had barely been six months since Claudius started working at UI. Although Rose had done her best to pave the way for him before she died, there were still many who did not buy it.

Truce and Bruce had been working in UI for more than a decade. On top of that, they were Rose's biological nephews and senior employees of UI. More importantly, they had a fair amount of the company's shares. There was no way Claudius could beat them.

It had not been a month since Rose's death, but both Truce and Bruce were already working together to deal with Claudius. That put the latter in a tough position.

Although Claudius did not divulge much information, Sophia experienced a similar situation in her management of Odyssey during Alexander's disappearance. She knew what he was going through, even if he did not say anything about it.

Moreover, it had only been slightly over six months since Rose acknowledged Claudius as her son. After that, Claudius was in a coma for close to three months when he got into an accident. Technically, he only joined UI less than two months after regaining consciousness. He was alone in both UI and Moranta.

In fact, his current situation was more complicated than Sophia's.

Thus, Sophia could only suppress her urge to see him and make a rational decision to stay in Jadeborough.

Sophia was exiting the airport when Katherine called.

Last week, Perrin's comrade passed away. Worried about his emotional state, Sophia traveled to Doveston to keep him company for a few days.

Seeing Katherine's name on the screen, Sophia answered the call while pulling her luggage behind her. "What's up?"

"Soph, you've landed, haven't you? I'm waiting for you in the parking lot. I came all the way here just for you. Aren't you touched?"

Sophia paused when she heard that. She instantly turned around and headed toward the parking lot. "Which one are you at?"

"Number four."

Sophia laughed. "Okay. Got it."

Hanging up, she made her way to parking lot number four with her luggage. Soon, she arrived at her destination.

Katherine fancied red cars. Since Joshua banned her from using the sports car for fear of it affecting her pregnancy, Katherine chose to drive the Audi RS7 that day. Sophia noticed it almost instantly.

"Soph!"

The moment Sophia walked over, Katherine pulled the former into her embrace.

Katherine was almost five months into her pregnancy; her belly was already slightly visible. Sophia instinctively glanced at the former's belly, reminding her, "Be careful."

"Don't worry. He's a tough one." With that, Katherine patted her belly. "Right, son?"

Eyeing Katherine, Sophia asked, "Why are you here?"

Katherine raised her brow smugly. "I'm here to pick you up. Aren't you moved?"

Sophia could not help but chuckle. "Are you sure you're not using me as an excuse to sneak out?"

Katherine felt slightly guilty now that her intentions were exposed. "Don't say that. I'm here to pick you up."
