Chapter 249

The past few days, the Shaw family had worked hard to establish connections with Marcus, preparing to launch a reality talent show.

Marcus’s gaze darkened. “Tell them directly, the collaboration is canceled. They can leave.”

Chris immediately understood.

Marcus gently took Sophie’s hand, and everyone else silently left the

meeting room.

“The company’s been busy these past few days, and the sec system hasn’t been updated. That allowed the criminals to slip through the cracks. I’m sorry, it’s my fault.” Marcus leaned against the desk, murmuring as he pulled Sophie closer into his embrace.

“It’s not your fault. The criminals were too cunning,” Sophie comforted

Though the confrontation had seemed intense, it had all been

world in Riverland is due for a reshuffle.”

and Marcus sighed heavily. “With Hills Group’s involvement, it looks like the business

Sophie nodded in agreement, then sighed deeply. “Sometimes, only after going through the roughest times can we find the most valuable things. When you were in the States, the business world in Riverland was a mess.”

Marcus nestled his head into Sophie’s neck, his warm breath tickling her skin, sending a slight shiver down her spine.

Meanwhile, at the Shaw family headquarters.

“What? You must have heard wrong! Yesterday, I even spoke with Mr. Morgan, and we agreed to meet today to discuss the collaboration. Why the sudden cancellation?” The head of the Shaw family frowned, his voice tinged with frustration.

Chris stood nearby, raising his hand to motion for the bodyguards to approach, who promptly restrained Nina and dragged her toward the police car.

“Mr. Shaw, if you want to blame someone, blame your precious daughter. She insisted on seeking trouble,” Chris said with a cold smile.

Shaw’s father was about to intervene, but he froze when he saw Nina being forcibly escorted to the police car.

“What’s going on here?” Shaw’s father sighed in regret, scratching his head in confusion.

Later that evening, the Shaw family finally managed to bail Nina out of the police station.

Shaw’s father, his face filled with frustration, hissed, “What did you do

Nina fidgeted with the hem of her clothes, still stubbornly unaware of her own mistakes. She lifted her head defiantly. “I’m in this mess because of Sophie!”

At her words, Shaw’s father’s face flushed with anger, and in a swift motion, he slapped Nina across the face.

The sound of the slap echoed through the room, leaving Nina stunned. She pressed her hand to her swollen cheek, trembling slightly.

“Look at what you’ve done!” Shaw’s father pointed at his useless daughter with frustration. “You’ve pushed our family to the edge!”

The Shaw family had been working on launching a talent show, hoping to cast Nina as a contestant. If she could debut successfully in the entertainment industry, she might finally amount to something.

For this show, Shaw’s father had invested all of the family’s remaining funds.

But now that Hills Group had suddenly pulled out, it was nothing short of a disaster for the Shaw family!

While they could receive some compensation, it was nothing more than a drop in the ocean compared to the mounting debt.

Shaw’s father was so furious that he felt dizzy. He rubbed his temples and hissed, “Now that we’re in this situation, you better figure out a way to fix it. Find a way to save the Shaw family!”

Nina, filled with dread, grabbed her father’s arm. “Dad, please save me. Please… save me.”

All these years, Shaw’s father had poured all his love and attention into Nina. But in the end, she was the biggest disappointment of all.

Shaw’s father brushed off her hand and walked toward the car.

As the sunset faded, Sherry had time to join Sophie for dinner.

Sophie recounted everything that had happened that day, and Sherry chuckled, her face turning rosy with amusement. “Mr. Morgan did well!”

Her words were laced with a bit of selfishness, as Sherry was one of the last people who ever wanted to see the Shaw family thrive.

Having severed ties with the Shaw family for so long, she had never once considered going back. After all, it was far more satisfying to engage heated arguments than to keep pretending with people who wore fake smiles.

“Sherry, there’s something I want to ask you,” Sophie cleared her throat, her expression suddenly serious.

Sherry nodded.

“Why did you block my brother?” Sophie asked directly.

in

The mention of Ethan immediately darkened Sherry’s eyes. She lowered her head, fiddling with her knife and fork. “It’s nothing. I just don’t want to keep in touch anymore.”

“Sherry, there was some misunderstanding,” Sophie continued to explain.

As for whether it was truly a misunderstanding, Sherry didn’t want to discuss it anymore. She shook her head, trying to reject the conversation. But when she saw Sophie’s eyes, her heart softened, and she relented.

“The account is mine. I was scolded for some poor gameplay, and in my frustration, I gave the account to my brother. Later, I lost interest, and the account has been in his hands ever since,” Sophie explained. “I never thought things would develop like this. I’m sorry, I should’ve told you earlier.”

Sherry immediately grabbed Sophie’s hand, her eyes intense with seriousness. She spoke coldly, “Don’t apologize to me!”

Seeing Sherry’s reaction, Sophie breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt like a deflated balloon, putting down her fork and knife. Looking up, she saw Sherry’s soft expression. “But Sophie, I don’t know how to face your brother now. Let’s leave it at that. I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”

Since Sherry had spoken, Sophie decided not to push any further.

However, she did bring out the apology gift from Ethan. “This is an apology gift from my brother.”

Sophie handed her a 4090 gift card.

Sherry looked at the card, her eyes instantly lighting up–no one could resist the temptation of a 4090 card!

But the next second, Sherry snapped back to reality. After all, taking something from Ethan felt wrong, especially since he wasn’t in the wrong to such an extreme degree.

“Wow, I didn’t know that the old me, who couldn’t even afford a meal, now gets to enjoy such high–end restaurants by selling you that crappy software,” a harsh voice suddenly broke the peaceful atmosphere.

Sherry turned to see a woman slowly walking toward her, wearing a sharp smile as she looked at both Sherry and Sophie with blatant disdain.

“How many software packages did you have to sell to afford this meal? Did you spend your entire year’s salary on it? If you’re struggling, I could introduce you to some big shots,” the woman continued, her words growing more vulgar.

“Oh, and as for your little friend, the two of you could team up. Maybe you could make more money. Then, you won’t have to spend your days in that cheap rented apartment eating instant noodles! Don’t you agree, Instant Noodle Girl?”

The woman’s mocking voice echoed through the restaurant, like the wail of a ghost,

Sherry shot a cold look at her. “Michelle, did you just eat shit?”
