After Sophia hung up the phone, she turned and looked at Alexander, who was driving beside her.
Grinning, she declared, “Just now, Sharon's manager called and said she's bringing Sharon over to
apologize to me this afternoon.”
At her remark, Alexander's eyes darkened a shade. “Samuel has already notified the industry about it,
so there's no need to bother about them.”
In his opinion, Sharon should have been blacklisted when she started a smear campaign and defamed
Sophia on the internet.
Understanding his meaning, Sophia chuckled softly. “While she isn't as popular as Katherine, she still
has quite a huge fanbase. I'll be better if I don't back her into a corner.”
It had almost been ten years since Sharon's debut. She started rising to fame five years ago and
attended quite a number of variety shows in the past few years. Consequently, she enjoyed far greater
popularity at present. Otherwise, she would not have forgotten her place either.
It went without saying that Sophia did not have to accept her apology. With Samuel backing her up, she
would not be in much trouble even if she were to lambast Sharon to her face.
Unfortunately, the entertainment industry was exceedingly strange. It was both easy and difficult to
blacklist someone, especially during the current age when traffic played a pivotal role.
Sharon's popularity was on the rise right then. If she were to hold a grudge and Sharon utilized her
unwillingness to accept the apology to establish a pitiful persona, the latter would still enjoy much traffic
despite her ruined image.
As Sharon had already stabbed her in the back twice, Sophia would never allow her to benefit from the
slightest traffic flow.
She wants to apologize, huh? In that case, I'll forgive her. The greater my magnanimity, the more
others would find her unreasonable. Sometimes, revenge doesn't need to be so blatant.
Alexander had always respected Sophia's decisions and knew she was no easy prey. Thus, he did not
argue further despite his chagrin toward Sharon.
Fifteen minutes later, the car came to a stop below Sunshine Group.
In view of Suny's identity finally coming to light that day, a crowd of reporters was naturally waiting for
Sophia outside.
Since her identity was already in plain sight, Sophia did not bother avoiding the reporters anymore.
After alighting from Alexander's car, she graciously picked a few questions and answered them with a
smile.
Soon, Yvonne came downstairs and blocked the reporters. Flashing them a smile, Sophia murmured
an apology before whirling around and entering the building.
The security was beyond strict, and it was a rather special day, so Yvonne had arranged for someone
to keep guard at the entrance on the ground floor. The reporters could only watch as Sophia
disappeared into the building.
In truth, they still had many questions. For instance, they wanted to know why she did not publicize her
identity back when she married Alexander although many criticized her for being a gold digger.
Regretfully, Sophia avoided answering such questions.
Anyway, she knew that they would not believe it even if she were, to tell the truth.
The fact that Sophia was Sunshine Group's chairperson, Suny, sparked a heated debate in
Jadeborough within mere hours. It was even more shocking than the news of her marrying Alexander
in the past.
Samuel was wholly stunned when he learned about it. Thinking that he was seeing things, he
summoned his secretary and asked repeatedly, “Is Sophia really Suny?”
At the sight of his shell-shocked expression, his secretary, who had finally recovered from the shock,
answered with much difficulty, “Yes, Mr. Schild.”
“I don't believe it!”
How could Sophia be Suny? That's a joke!
Samuel stubbornly refused to believe it, convinced that his secretary must have eyesight problems due
to his age and mistook things. He threw the man a sidelong glance in disdain. “Forget it. You're
dismissed. You're already up in years, so your vision and hearing are bad.”
Words eluded his secretary, who was only in his early thirties.
After dismissing his secretary, Samuel quickly snagged his phone and gave Alexander a call.
Seeing that it was a call from Samuel, Alexander frowned slightly.
He knew all too well why the man was calling at that time.
It was evident that he did not really want to take the call as it was rather difficult to communicate with
someone whose intelligence was inferior to his.
However, he also knew that Samuel would phone him incessantly if he were to decline the call.
In the end, he swiped the answer button with a frosty expression on his face. “Is something the
matter?”
“I thought you'd know what I want to ask you—”
“It's true.”
Samuel, who had just prepared his speech and was about to speak, was struck dumb. “No, that doesn't
make sense. How did Sophia suddenly become Suny? Had she purchased Sunshine Group's shares?
Suny sold the company to her, right?”
In response, Alexander snorted. “What do you think?”
Still, Samuel refused to accept the reality. “I think that's entirely possible.”
“Believe whatever you want. I'm going back to work.”
Having said that, Alexander hung up right away.
Samuel gaped at the disconnected call on his phone, utterly stumped.
No wonder Sunshine Group had Planetary Media steal two of my projects a year and a half ago for no
apparent reason. At that time, I was livid to the point that I lost my appetite, fuming inwardly. I even
wanted to seek Suny out to talk things out and ask how I'd offended him or her. But I lay in wait several
times yet failed to ambush Suny. Once, I bumped into Sophia, and she mocked me, saying that I
couldn't get to meet Suny because I was too unsightly! Ah, it turned out that she was playing me for a
fool then!
He shot up from his chair, feeling that it was time for him to settle the score with Sophia.
Just when he reached the office door, he chickened out.
Back then, Sophia managed to play me like a fiddle. Wouldn't I be offering myself up on a silver platter
now to seek her out? Ah, never mind! Forget it! Alexander and Sophia are wolves that an innocent
lamb like me can't afford to offend!
Retracing his steps in aggravation, he downed several cups of coffee all at once before the fury blazing
within him abated slightly.
Ugh! I'm still a bit angry, mad at myself for being so dumb!
When Sophia told Sharon's manager that she had a meeting in the afternoon, she was serious and not
being difficult.
The meeting was at three o'clock. It was only at half past four that Sophia stepped out of the
conference room.
“Ms. Yarrow.”
Yvonne, who had been waiting for a long time, walked up and stared at her with a conflicted
expression.
Sophia quirked a brow. “Who's here?”
“Ms. Xenos.”
Sophia had not seen Thalia in a long time, but she had never expected the latter to have the guts to
come knocking on her door at such a time.
Her lips curved into a smirk. “Turn her away.”
Without having to give it any thought, she knew the purpose of Thalia's visit.
However, Thalia and Kristen had no bargaining chip to negotiate with her anymore. As such, she did
not need to compromise with Thalia anymore.
Understanding promptly dawned upon Yvonne. “Got it, Ms. Yarrow.”
At that precise moment, Belinda came over. “Two women downstairs are asking to meet you, Ms.
Yarrow. One is Justina, and the other is Sharon.”
Glancing at the time, Sophia saw that there were still ten minutes to five.
Not bad. Sharon is actually tactful enough to come early.
She turned to Belinda and flashed her a smile. “Bring them up.”
“Sure, Ms. Yarrow.”
It was only when Sophia had returned to the office that she noticed the many messages from Katherine
on her phone.
Katherine was over the moon that Sophia's identity as Suny had come to light. No one in the
entertainment industry knew that she was the latter's best friend previously, but now, she could lord
over everyone in the circle.
She took on a new movie, but the script changed too much after the contract had been signed.
Considering her status, there was no problem with her playing the female lead. However, the female
lead was inexplicably weakened in the script she received the second time. Instead, the screen time of
the second female lead accounted for sixty percent of the entire movie.
Having been in the industry for a long time, she naturally knew what was going on. Hence, she had
Jonice ring the director up to inquire about the matter. At first, the other party gave excuses, saying that
the second female lead was the investor's daughter.
In the morning, he gave a long speech yet refused to change the script or allow her to terminate the
contract. But less than two hours after the fact that Sophia was Suny came to light, Jonice received a
phone call from him, in which he apologized profusely and promised that the original script would be
used instead.
Katherine had been in the industry for many years and did not lack that opportunity, so she requested
to terminate the contract. Verily, it gave her a smug sense of satisfaction.
Right after signing the termination contract, she texted Sophia to share the news and flatter her.
Sophia was only halfway through the flurry of messages when Yvonne led Sharon upstairs.
Hearing the knock on her door, she put her phone down and lifted her head to direct her gaze at the
door. “Come in.”
