Because Alexander was in Moranta and no longer remembered anything, Sophia knew it was pointless
to miss him.
Although the two of them were not complete strangers, they weren't exactly close either. Since
Alexander could not remember anything about Sophia, she decided not to put any pressure on him.
Sophia hardly contacted Alexander ever since she returned to her country.
Their recent chat history mostly consisted of good morning texts, good night texts, and messages
about the weather.
However, Sophia didn't really feel down about that because she was too busy with Odyssey and
Sunshine Group.
After taking a moment to regain her composure, Sophia continued going through her emails.
Knock! Knock!
"Come in!" Sophia called out in response to the knock on her door. Felix came in with Alistair.
Sophia arched an eyebrow at him when she saw him. "Oh, hello there, Mr. Ladd. Is there anything I
can help you with?"
Alistair had caused Sophia problems during the previous meeting. She had Felix, who was originally in
charge of the project, hand it over to Alistair. However, Alistair screwed it up last Friday, so Sophia
proposed to have him fired from Odyssey.
With the exception of Percy, who was on good terms with Alistair, all the other shareholders agreed
with her proposal.
As Sophia held a huge amount of Odyssey's shares, her decision was as good as final. Since the other
shareholders also agreed with her proposal, Alistair was immediately relieved of his duties.
Given everything that had happened, it wasn't hard for Sophia to guess why he had come to see her.
Alistair was already in his forties and had worked in Odyssey for twenty years. He had waited a long
time for Beau to pass so he could finally make his way up the ranks. It was only natural that he couldn't
accept being fired after a few years.
"I have something to discuss with you, Ms. Yarrow."
It became obvious that Alistair was prepared to sell Percy out.
Sophia shot Felix a glance and said, "Mr. Lane, could you have them modify that proposal of yours?"
Felix took the document and quickly left her office.
Alistair waited until he closed the door behind him before whipping out an envelope from his coat
pocket.
"Ms. Yarrow, this is a photograph of Mr. Zaat meeting Dillon. I also have some evidence of Mr. Zaat and
Dillon embezzling Odyssey's funds," he said while handing it over to her.
Without even looking at the photograph inside the envelope, Sophia smiled at him and said, "Since you
have gone this far, I shall be very straightforward with you, Mr. Ladd. I'm pretty sure everyone knows of
your relationship with Mr. Zaat. He even objected to that decision earlier today for your sake. You two
have been very close for years now, so why would you betray him and take my side all of a sudden?"
Alistair was not expecting her to ask him that, so he paused and thought for a bit before replying, "I'll be
honest with you, Ms. Yarrow. I'm almost fifty now, and I don't have many of Odyssey's shares. I know I
won't be able to get that position, but Percy is a cunning b*stard who often uses me to get what he
wants. I wouldn't have ended up like this today if it weren't for him. Everything was already over by last
Friday. Percy was simply putting up an act when he objected to your proposal. As I've been thinking
about this a lot lately, I realized that I had been working in Odyssey for twenty long years. This
company has become like a second home to me. Percy has been meeting up with a lot of outsiders
lately. I know him. It's highly possible that he's going to pull a big move soon. I've actually gotten used
to living a safe and stable lifestyle. I only wanted to move up the ranks to satisfy my vanity. I may only
be a shareholder in this company, but this could very well affect my bonus, so I won't just sit by and
watch Percy make a move on Odyssey. Don't worry. I'm not demanding anything. I don't even have any
complaints about you firing me. I simply have a small request to make. You see, I have an illegitimate
child who has just returned after completing his Ph.D. in Moranta. He's also doing research and
development in this field, so I was hoping you could hire him. Maybe give him a position as a team
leader in the research and development department or something."
Sophia waited until he had finished before asking calmly, "Are you saying that you will step down and
have your son take your place, Mr. Ladd?"
Fearing that she would get the wrong idea, Alistair said, "My son is really capable, Ms. Yarrow! You can
look him up!"
Sophia let out a chuckle. "I never doubted the fact that your son is capable and talented, Mr. Ladd.
However"—she paused and tapped her pen on the table—"you just told me that you couldn't stand
Percy making a move against Odyssey. Why were you okay with it before?" The smile on Sophia's face
faded. "What did Mr. Zaat offer you to have you approach me like this?"
The look on Alistair's face changed. "I don't fully understand what you're saying, Ms. Yarrow. It's true
that Percy had convinced me to help him in the past, but I've received a wake-up call after everything
that had happened all this while. I'm only telling you this so you can be prepared for what Percy might
do. You may choose not to believe me, but you didn't have to humiliate me by saying all that!"
Sophia flashed him a sarcastic smile. "Do you realize where you messed up, Mr. Ladd?"
"If you don't believe me, then nothing I say will make a difference!"
Alistair was about to open the door and leave when Sophia said, "Here's a piece of advice, Mr. Ladd.
You should never be too hasty and reveal your trump card before entering a negotiation. That is an
absolute no-no in the corporate world. You've been in this field for a very long time, so I'm sure you
know that rule better than I do."
Alistair froze for a few seconds before opening the door aggressively and storming out of Sophia's
office.
Felix came in shortly after he left.
"Ms. Yarrow?"
Sophia flashed him a smile and said, "Find out what Percy is possibly up to lately." She then gave it
some thought and added, "Make sure to investigate him thoroughly. It's possible that he may try to fool
us by putting up an act."
Felix frowned when he heard that. "What was Mr. Ladd's concern about?"
Sophia let out a chuckle when she recalled what Alistair said earlier. "He said he was here to side with
me."
Felix was genuinely surprised when he heard that. After all, it was highly unlikely for Alistair to side with
Sophia like this.
If they decided to take legal action against Alistair and Percy, the two of them would be sentenced to
life imprisonment.
Felix paused for a few seconds before replying, "Understood, Ms. Yarrow."
The fact that Alistair was trying to act as a spy for Percy showed that they were up to something.
However, it would not be easy to investigate and find out about their plan.
"By the way, Ms. Yarrow, you're supposed to head over to the prison west of the city at three today,"
Felix reminded her.
Sophia nodded. "Got it."
It has only been a few months, and they're all acting up because they think Alexander is out of the
picture. Let's see what they've got!
Her lips curled into a smile.
