Sophia uttered those words in a calm and unruffled manner. However, the mention of the word "police"
was sufficient to render the three women shuddering in fear.
The trio only made those comments out of jealousy that Sophia could take over Odyssey. Nonetheless,
their remarks were baseless. If Sophia was determined to pursue that matter further and held them
accountable, they would be guilty of spreading rumors and defamation.
That was not all. If they truly offended her, triggering Samuel and Charles to take action against them,
their family businesses would likely be in jeopardy.
The market was already tough in the past two years, and even the allowances the three women
received from their families had been reduced. If their families' companies were to face further troubles,
the consequences would be dire and devastating.
"Ms. Yarrow, please have mercy and forgive us for spouting nonsense."
"We were just chatting casually. Please don't take our words to heart. We're very sorry, Ms. Yarrow!"
Gazing at Sophia, even the woman who had dared to argue with Megan earlier became afraid. "Ms.
Yarrow, I'm a halfwit who has a habit of speaking without thinking. I didn't mean anything by it. Please
don't hold it against me. I'm terribly sorry, Ms. Yarrow."
The three of them were genuinely frightened, as Sophia was now the most untouchable figure in the
city.
Not only was she backed by her own considerable resources, but she was also supported by the
Schild, Johnson, and Quail families. Not to mention, Sophia was also protected by the distant Dawson
family. Under such circumstances, no one would dare to provoke her.
The trio was indeed accustomed to speaking without restraint. Unexpectedly, they encountered Sophia
in person that day, prompting them to yield and apologize at once.
Sophia glanced at them nonchalantly, not wanting to bother pressing that matter further, so she merely
uttered with a half-smile, "Gossiping isn't a good habit. Perhaps you ladies should think carefully before
you speak in the future."
"You're absolutely right, Ms. Yarrow. We'll definitely correct our bad habit!"
Sophia smiled and disregarded them afterward. She turned to Megan. "Thank you."
Noticing Sophia wasn't paying them any attention anymore, the three women hurriedly scurried away.
Megan glanced at their leaving figures from behind, then looked at Sophia. "I didn't do much."
Sophia curled her lips into a faint smile. "I have some matters to attend to and need to return to the
company. Let's have a meal together sometime."
That was the first time Megan had received an invitation from Sophia since they met.
Megan was momentarily dazed before regaining her senses and quickly nodded. "Sure. You should go.
My friend is also waiting for me. We'll catch up next time."
That was a courteous response Megan had often said to others, but it was genuine when addressed to
Sophia.
Now that she was more mature and viewed things differently, she was naturally willing to befriend
Sophia.
Sophia nodded. "See you next time."
"S-See you."
Megan felt surreal as she watched Sophia's retreating figure. Why did I ever think Sophia was difficult
to get along with?
While she was lost in her thoughts, the phone inside her bag suddenly rang. Megan was stunned for a
few moments before recalling she had taken almost ten minutes to retrieve her bag upstairs. Casper,
who was waiting downstairs, must be getting anxious.
She jogged toward the elevator while answering the phone, "I'm coming down now."
On the other end of the call, Casper told her the car was parked at the hotel entrance. Megan hummed
in acknowledgment and hung up.
"What took you so long?" Seeing Megan walking out of the building, Casper opened the car door for
her.
She bent down and got into the vehicle. It was drizzling outside, and the weather was slightly chilly. In
contrast, the car's interior felt warm. She turned to look at him, her face full of joy. "When I exited the
room after retrieving my bag, I ran into some people who were badmouthing Sophia."
He glanced at her. "I thought you didn't hate Sophia anymore?"
"That's right. I couldn't stand listening to them, so I went over and lectured them. Unexpectedly, Sophia
was right behind them, listening to the gossip. Casper, you should've seen the expressions on those
women's faces when they saw Sophia. They turned pale almost instantly. I kind of regret not recording
their reaction on my phone."
He chuckled. "You're so happy just because of this?"
Sophia gazed at him and suddenly felt a little self-conscious. "Actually, it's not entirely because of that.
Sophia thanked me and even mentioned we should have a meal together sometime. Do you know?
That's the first time she's ever said something like that to me. I think Sophia never bothered giving
courteous responses like that."
Casper fathomed that was the real reason behind her elation. He nodded. "It seems like you don't
really dislike Ms. Yarrow either."
"You told me Sophia has proven her capabilities by maintaining Odyssey's superb performance all by
herself. My dad also said Sophia is the most courageous and intelligent woman he has ever met." At
that point, Megan paused briefly before adding, "She's also one who can't be taken advantage of."
Naturally, Megan's family knew all too well about that side of Sophia's character.
Even as she talked about it at the moment, Megan couldn't help but feel a little guilty and embarrassed.
Casper was well aware of his partner's personality, so he didn't mention what happened in the past.
"Your father's evaluation is indeed accurate. If you don't dislike Ms. Yarrow, befriending her wouldn't be
a bad thing."
Megan nodded repeatedly, knowing full well Casper was right. Regardless, I've left a different
impression on Sophia today. The past is in the past, and I should let bygones be bygones. Dad also
said that although Sophia is not one to be taken advantage of, she's a straightforward person and
wouldn't let her emotions get the best of her.
Sophia was unaware of Megan's thoughts. Nevertheless, she was still surprised Megan had actually
defended her that day.
"Ms. Yarrow."
Hearing Felix's voice, Sophia collected her thoughts and looked at him. "Yes?"
"Dillon wishes to meet with you."
Approximately two months after Alexander's accident, Dillon was convicted of kidnapping and
threatening. He was then sentenced to five years and eight months of imprisonment.
The two brothers, Tyler and Randy, were also preoccupied with their problems. Tyler had relied on
Dillon's reputation and accumulated a huge "debt." Considering the scores he had to settle, he was no
better off than Dillon.
Randy didn't go to prison, but his company was investigated, and significant issues were discovered,
resulting in a fine of over three hundred million. However, the Xenos family couldn't come up with that
much money, so Randy had to sell some of his Odyssey shares.
To Sophia, Dillon and his family were now nothing more than a group of pathetic clowns.
Nonetheless, she couldn't understand why those clowns wouldn't take a break from showing up in front
of her. Now that Dillon had taken the initiative to request a meeting with her, she reckoned that could
only mean trouble.
Sophia narrowed her eyes. "What's up with Dillon recently?"
"He has been diagnosed with lung cancer and applied for medical parole."
"Medical parole?" She chuckled. "No wonder he wants to see me." She paused briefly before adding,
"In that case, please arrange the meeting for me, Mr. Lane."
Felix nodded. "All right, Ms. Yarrow."
It was two o'clock in the afternoon when Sophia returned to Odyssey. She approved an application and
then headed over to Sunshine Group.
There was an important meeting at Sunshine Group at three o'clock, and she needed to be there.
By the time the meeting was over, it was past five o'clock. The rain was still falling, and the sky had
turned significantly darker.
Sophia glanced at her phone and saw Katherine had sent her many photos from her travel.
Claudius had also sent her a message. Due to the different time zone, it should be early morning in
Lightspring. Sophia hadn't contacted Claudius since she came back to the country.
He told her he had another dream, but he didn't mention what it was about.
She stared at her phone and was reminded of the time he had whispered the words "erotic dream"
beside her ear. Inexplicably, she felt her face flush.
"Ms. Yarrow." Yvonne, sitting next to Sophia, called out to the latter softly.
Sophia snapped back to reality. "What's the matter?"
"Ms. Yarrow, Mr. Schild's secretary called and asked if you have plans tonight."
Sophia was free that night, and it was also one of those rare nights she didn't have to work overtime.
She could roughly guess the reason why Samuel was asking her out. She smiled and replied, "I'm
available. Ask him about the time and place."
"All right, Ms. Yarrow."
