"I'm not here to cause trouble. I just have something to say to you." Bea tried to maintain her pride, yet she still felt a bit intimidated facing Sophie.
"Is that so? That's for the best, then. I won't be so forgiving if I see you causing a scene at the office again."
Sophie's remark infuriated Bea, who angrily said, "Sophie! I am your grandmother-in-law! Do you really intend to raise a hand to me?"
"Why would I do that? But, Bea, the IOU you signed is still in my possession. If I were to enforce it... I doubt you could come up with that amount of money anytime soon, could you?"
Bea was angry but helpless. Her vulnerability was in Sophie's hands, leaving her no choice but to swallow her pride.
"It seems you don't want to make a big scene. Then remember what I just said; don't test my patience."
As soon as Sophie finished speaking, she reached out to restart the elevator. Even if Bea was dissatisfied, she had no choice but to keep silent in that moment.
Entering Sophie's office, Bea looked around carefully and commented, "Mr. Blake seems to treat you quite well."
"Let's stick to the matter at hand."
Sophie took a seat on the couch, and Bea, without any hesitation, sat opposite her, saying, "I'm here to ask you to help James uncover the secrets inside S Corporation."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Sophie chuckled, "Bea, what makes you think that?"
Bea said, "You know, the Burke family lost a lot of money recently. After what you said the other day, I went to check the Burke family's accounts and asked a few directors. The Burke family's stock plummeted all because of the operations behind S Corporation. Your boss, Blake, is no good. He couldn’t openly compete with James, so he resorts to underhanded tactics..."
"Stop."
Sophie cut Bea off directly, asking, "Bea, no need to say more; just tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"I know you and Blake are acquainted, and he must like you quite a bit. Otherwise, why would he give you such a large office?" Sophie raised an eyebrow. "Bea, what are you implying?"
"Don't play dumb. I know exactly what you're worth, Sophie. If Blake didn't fancy you, how could you be a manager at S Corporation? I'm here to make you recognize your place. You are James' wife, and you should act as a model."
