Chapter 572 Get Rid of Drake
"As for who it was, I won't tell you. But I believe the truth will come out one day and you can always choose to trust Sophia."
"And bad guys will be found and punished when the day comes."
On the other side, seeing the news, Rashad clenched his fists.
He wanted this to be big and let the whole world know that Drake had been cheated on.
But this damn woman! Who allowed her to speak for Sophia?
The phone rang and he picked it up.
"You'd better be calling for something really important."
The caller was taken aback and learned that Rashad seemed upset today.
When Drake was still in the company, although he got upset sometimes, he never took it out on the employees, so they had never worried about it.
But Rashad was different; he always played dirty tricks and often set traps.
"Mr. Witt, someone who claimed to be the King of the Underworld said he wants to talk to you."
King of the Underworld?
That made sense. After what he had done, he had certainly gotten his attention.
"Put him through."
"Yes, sir!"
Rashad put the phone to his ear and began cracking the phone number of the King of the Underworld.
"Mr. Witt."
After he got through, the caller spoke first.
Rashad listened carefully, and realized this voice didn't sound familiar.
Of course, he knew that the voice could be falsified.
"Are you the King of the Underworld?"
"Why? You think I'm not?"
"I know you are."
Rashad had challenged the King of the Underworld. No doubt he would made a phone call to Rashad.
"Mr. Witt, you are really something. You have just come back to Sealand and you dared to mess with me. Haven't you heard about me?"
Rashad could feel the pressure from him, but he had nothing to fear.
"After all, rumors can be fake. I have never met you in person. I'm not sure if you're really as good as the rumors say."
"Funny."
The King of the Underworld did have the aura of a king.
Rashad sensed it. He realized the King of the Underworld was a hard nut to crack though they just exchanged a few words.
"Since you really want to bite off more than you can chew, I can teach you a lesson to show you what I can do."
Rashad said, "You like Sophia, right?"
"What does it matter?"
"Don't you want to steal her from Drake?"
Drake laughed, "It's just a woman. I can get her as long as I want."
"But you underestimated Sophia," said Rashad firmly.
"So, what are you offering?"
"I can help you!"
Drake smiled. "What's your condition?"
"I want you to get rid of Drake for me!"
Drake's eyes become grim. Although he didn't think of Rashad as family, he had never thought of getting rid of him.
Grandpa said he would give Rashad all the properties, so he followed his will. However...
"Why do you think that I will help you?"
"Of course, you'll help me. If you don't... it means you're Drake!"
Drake had already known that Rashad was suspecting him, and that everything Rashad did was to test him.
But now, he thought of such a way to test him.
"I won't fall into your trap, and what you did has annoyed me. Rashad, you are doomed."
Then Drake hung up the phone.
Rashad had tried many times, but failed to find the phone number. Who was he? Was he really not Drake?
However, what happened in the Riley Group was out of Rashad's expectations.
He had done his best, but the Riley Group's share price kept falling.
If this went on, the Riley Group would go down.
But Rashad could do nothing for now.
After the shareholders learned it, they all had high hopes for him. After all, since he took office, he had been doing as well as Drake.
They believed that since Drake could help the company pass its crisis before, Rashad could do the same, too.
But they were wrong. Rashad could not solve it this time.
It wasn't until the next day that the stock price stopped plummeting, but the market value of the Riley Group had been reduced by ten billions.
The shareholders asked Rashad for an explanation.
Rashad couldn't tell them that this happened because he offended the King of the Underworld, could he?
He didn't believe that the King of the Underworld could do this, but these people would. If they knew it, they would definitely go to Drake.
He couldn't give them this chance!
Sophia knew what had happened to the Riley Group. She also heard that it was the King of the Underworld who did it.
In fact, even if she didn't hear about it, she could guess it.
The public opinions online would affect the King of the Underworld, although in everyone's impression, the King of the Underworld didn't care about others' opinions, Sophia was a married woman and the King of the Underworld surely didn't want someone to accuse him of having an affair with a married woman.
"Rashad deserved this for his own doings."
As soon as Sophia said that, Travis came in.
"It seems everything's solved now."
Sophia said with a pout as she saw him, "Oh, it's my dear brother. So, you still remember your sister? I thought all you can see is Helena."
Travis couldn't help laughing, "Don't be so sarcastic, my dear sister."
"Why can't I be sarcastic?"
"Alright, I am here now. I said I would help before, but you said you could handle it yourself, right?"
Sophia didn't know how to refute.
However...
"I won't forgive Rashad for what he's done."
Travis was gratified to see her getting over her past friendship with Rashad. He had long known that Rashad had changed.
If Sophia kept tolerating him, it was bad for her.
"I was worried about you, but now I'm not worried anymore."
"Travis, mom and dad didn't call me. I know they believe me 100 percent, but this matter must have affected them. Are they alright?"
"What can happen to them? They are used to having troubles coming their way anyway."
Sophia frowned and pouted, "So, do you think I am a troublemaker?"
"Isn't it true?"
Travis stared at her.
Sophia burst into laughter.
"Travis, since you and Helena were together, you have become more approachable."
