At that time, she asked her to gather evidence that could harm Mr. Oh. Sofia wanted something concrete against Mr. Oh, and Mrs. Phelps would have been the perfect pawn
She never expected this to happen. Sadly, she doesn’t have any specifics about Mrs. Phelps’ death, and she could only wait for the police to come up with something.
The very next day, the news of Mrs. Phelps’ demise had already spread inside the office. Sofia could not help but frown the moment she walked into her office
