Being Pursued By Ex-husband novel Chapter 525

Chapter 525 Fate

Two hours had passed by the time Sophia finally ended the meeting. The company found itself in dire straits, and Sunshine Group had invested significant funds in it. Despite its promising future, the company was unfortunate to have a founder who had caused such turmoil. The internet was ablaze with all sorts of comments, and the company's reputation took a significant hit.

Being relatively new, the company had only recently started demonstrating positive results when these internal challenges arose.

Sophia detested wasting time on such issues. As an investor, her primary concern was the profitability of her investment.

It was evident that the problem had originated from the founder's personal relationship, and it had adversely affected the company's progress. This highlighted the significance of managing personal matters effectively. In Sophia's view, the founder's inability to handle a private matter discreetly and resolve it internally revealed his inability to lead the company.

The decision to withdraw their investment was evident, but the company happened to be owned by the nephew of one of Sunshine Group's directors. Unsurprisingly, he opposed the idea of withdrawal.

Initially, the other directors remained silent, but as soon as Sophia voiced her opinion, they swiftly took her side.

Sophia's track record of generating substantial profits for the company over the past few years carried significant weight.

However, the stubborn director persisted in his disagreement. In response, Sophia instructed Yvonne to present him with the data from the past two months, effectively silencing his objections.

Sophia had just finished reading a document when Yvonne knocked on the door and entered her office. “Ms. Yarrow.”

Pausing in her action of flipping through a file, Sophia raised her head to look at Yvonne. “What is it, Ms. Leighton?”

Yvonne placed an invitation card on Sophia's desk and informed her, “This is the invitation card for Old Mrs. Cooper's eightieth birthday banquet, sent by the Cooper family.”

Sophia picked up the invitation card. “Casper Cooper?”

He's Megan's husband.

She took a moment to contemplate and then instructed Yvonne, Please help me RSVP to the event. Let them know that I will be attending tomorrow night.”

Despite having the freedom to choose whether to attend the birthday banquet held by the Cooper family, Sophia made the decision to attend. She felt compelled to do so, driven by a sense of gratitude toward Megan, who had extended her help before.

In the past, when they were at odds, Sophia would make sure to return the favor whenever Megan did something to her.

Now that they had made up, she wanted to show her support.

“Sure, Ms. Yarrow,” Yvonne agreed with a nod.

She turned to leave, closing the door behind her.

After Sophia finished reading the document, she packed up to leave.

Katherine might be heavily pregnant and nearing her due date in about twenty days, but she insisted on inviting Sophia to have lunch together.

Naturally, Sophia dared not let her wait. If anything were to happen to her, she would be racked with guilt.

It was lunchtime, so the traffic was slightly heavier. When Sophia arrived at the restaurant, Katherine was already eating a cake at their table.

After getting pregnant, Katherine developed a sudden liking for cakes. Due to her pregnancy, it wasn't advisable for her to eat too much of that. As such, Joshua only allowed her to consume cake once a week.

Katherine had already eaten cake once this week. After arriving at the restaurant, she decided to take advantage of Joshua's absence and Sophia's delayed arrival by ordering another cake for herself at the restaurant.

From a distance, Sophia spotted Katherine happily indulging in her cake at their table. Her lips curled as she walked over, swiftly reaching out to remove the half-devoured cake from Katherine's reach.

Katherine had purposely arrived at the restaurant earlier to indulge in some cake. However, her delight turned to dismay when someone abruptly took the cake away when she only got to eat half of it. Looking up, she realized it was Sophia, who was gazing at her with amusement. Feeling a pang of guilt, Katherine greeted her, “Oh, you're here, Soph.”

Sophia tossed the half-eaten cake into the trash can at the bottom of their table. “You've eaten cake once this week, right?”

Katherine pouted unhappily. “Did Joshua tell you that?”

Sophia chuckled aloud. “I don't need him to tell me that.”
