Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife

Chapter 64

“They already left?” Daniel’s cars started humming with dirty thoughts when the security of the restaurant informed him that everyone had already left- all customers. What about Sofia Where the hell is she?

Earlier, only her secretary left, so he thought she would be going out with Jenny Thomas.

He was wrong.

It turns out he had been waiting here for nothing!

He opened his phone and immediately dialed his brother's number. Sadly, Alexander was not answering his call.

“Damn it!” Daniel hissed before going back to his car. It was already the dead of the night. He had been waiting there for hours thinking Sofia woul

igree to talk to him given all his effort! What more did she want?

Why was she blaming him for a mistake that he made because of her? Sofia had been very busy with her work- both of them were. However, unlike Charlotte, who made an effort to travel to him and see him, Sofia stayed rooted in this damn city, working her ass off for something that she would eventually get!

Besides, once they got married, he was already planning on asking her to stop working. Wouldn't it be good if he worked for LH Group instead?

He started his car and disappeared into the night. Meanwhile, Alexander was staring at Sofia’s sleeping frame on the bed.

“You called me here in the dead of the night just to see if she’s alright?” Hugo frowned. He was sitting opposite his friend. “Didn’t | already tell you? She might have a fever, and that’s normal. Her body is fighting something.”

“Lower your voice. You are making too much noise.” Alexander said. “Besides... did you want me to call another physician?” Hugo immediately stopped talking. Obviously, he wouldn’t want anyone to know that there was something inside Sofia’s body.

“Let's go outside...” Alexander said, and the two went to his study “Did you notice any improvements?” he was asking about Sofia’s mother, Eunice.

“Unfortunately not,” Hugo made himself comfortable on Alexander’s plush sofa. “However, this is already within my expectations. She had ingested the poison for years. She might not be as worse as your mother but | do not see her waking up very soon.”

Seeing how Alexander’s face darkened at the mention of his mother, Hugo added, “There is no need to worry. We are doing our best to reverse the effect of the poison. We already stopped it from spreading but the damage has been done.”

“And that damn Dr. Tan?” Alexander asked as he poured some wine into his own cup.

“He is slowly giving away information about his connections in Asia, but we do not have anything concrete. The fact that he is working with them is making it harder.”

Alexander narrowed his eyes. After everything that the man did, he is actually secretly working for the CIA now? However, this does not surprise him anymore. “Did he reveal anything about the Triad?” he asked.

“Not for now. But | believe he would not have a choice but to reveal something about them soon...”

Alexander nodded. He leaned against the table.

“You really do like her “Hugo noted as he got up and got his own drink.

“What made you think that | don’t

“What about Zoe?” Hugo asked

“What about her

“She has yet to leave the country. Your good mother had been trying to invite her back, but she had been refusing everything

“What makes you think | am interested in knowing anything about her?” Alexander asked. Hugo, Zoe, and Alexander were once really close when they were younger. However, things have changed.

“Right. Of course. Lapologize

“There is nothing to talk about”

“Come on

as he took a sip of his wine. “Then let’s talk about your wife...” Hugo smiled. Why are you being so nosy?” Alexander glared at him.

“How am | being nosy

However, Alexander did not give him an answer. Instead, he finished his wine and opened his laptop so he could start working once again. He canceled a few meetings in the past few days so he could be with Sofia. So now, he is doing his best to get all those money back.

Seeing him busy with work. Hugo snorted. “I am leaving. Don’t call me again for a cold or fever. The expected recovery will be a day or two. Let her body fight the poison. No need to panic. This will not affect her uterus.” Hugo said before giving Alexander a meaningful smile.

“Good very good...” Lawrence snorted as he heard news about Charlotte who agreed to settle down in Spain for the time being. While many of Charlotte's fans actually believed that she was not a cheater, those images still affected her clean and pure reputation in some way.

It would be better if she stayed away for some time and let the people forget.. However, this was not enough to make Lawrence calm down. Sofia was now showing signs of disobeying him, and he was not happy about it. He needed to teach her a few lessons.

“I need you to tell Mr. Oh about the previous plan...” Lawrence instructed Min as he started tapping his fingers on the table in front of him. He knew that Eulanda was not in this country. She’s busy enjoying the last years of her life. She had been socializing and attending events abroad. “We need to have it implemented as soon as possible.”

That woman was very scheming, so Lawrence chose not to lower his guard. However, this does not mean that he is not going to make his move!

Eulanda’s tentacles in the company have weakened. She was no longer the boss that she thought she was. Min nodded and reminded him of his meeting. This time, Lawrence got up and left the mansion with Min. Soon enough. at Lawrence walked side and saw an old man sitting alone inside a cubicle

To think that you would actually meet me at this hour.” Lawrence started The restaurant was already closed, and no one ele ande from the three of them was there. “In this place.” Lawrence looked around

The restaurant was a Chinese joen you could tell by the red lanterns hanging around and the little golden cat statue by the

vetranie, warning its pas The place had this cozy vibe with wooden tables and chairs, and those paper placemats with Minese podiac signs on thems

High from the hanging lanes cast a warm glow, making the place feel mysterious. The walls were decked with med pictures of Chinese landscapes and some calligraphy

However, what surprised him as smally the fact that this was located in the middle of the city. He thought William Clarence would meet him somewhere more secretive. But he chose to meet him in the middle of the city.

“Do you want to meet me d “Steering in a more secret

chuckled

The older man chuc

have been better. Lawrence said. “Eulanda is breathing on my neck. She must

“You already gave me the shares. “William said. There is no reason for her not to know it.” “However, it seems that the heiress of LH Group is not as stupid as you think.”

The heires? Was he here to talk about Sofa He expected William to talk about Eulanda instead! “She is working with someone and that someone is not her grandmother

“He” his eyes landed on the tablet on top of the table

“See for yourself.”

Lawrence opened the tablet and almost immediately his expression changed. “This is-

“She’s staying in the same building as Alexander Beaumont. He had been secretly protecting her with bodyguards. They are also driving to work almost everyday”

The Beaumont Family Lawrence’s expression darkened. Was Sofia working with Daniel's brother instead of Eulanda?

Seeing his reaction, William chuckled “Do not mistake that man he might be young but he is as ruthless, perhaps even more ruthless than that of his grandfather. You do realize how the Beaumont Family was able to build their chain of hotels, righter

Lawrence said nothing as he stared at the image of the man sitting next to Sofia in the car. Everyone knew how ruthless that family was. In the past, the Beaumont Family only had a few hotels in the US. However, they aggressively created an empire by forting buyouts and hostile takeovers.

There have been a lot of lawsuits in the past that involve the Beaumont Family but all of them vanished when Alexander became the CEO. Some said that it was settled in silence but a few of the businesses knew that Alexander used the influence of the Beaumont Family to silence those who wanted to attack his company.

It was a ruthless approach. But it worked.

Sull how did Sofia start working with Alexander? That man is known for his ruthlessness and arrogance! What was happening here?

Chapter 61 For some reason, Lawrence felt like he was missing crucial information.
