Chapter 125
The instant Sophia walked out of the hall of the police station, Aidan, who had only left half an hour
ago, also returned.
“Ms. Yarrow, Ms. Leighton.”
Sophia nodded and smiled. “Thank you, Mr. Quigley.”
“No problem.”
Sophia then gave Yvonne a look, and thetter walked out behind her. “Ms. Yarrow.”
“Speak.”
The two stood in the cloister as cars drove by outside asionally. As it was past nine o''clock, there
were not many pedestrians. Hence, they were not afraid of someone eavesdropping.
Six to seven hours had passed, and based on Yvonne''s capability, she likely found out the identity of
the mastermind.
While gazing at Sophia, Yvonne told her all that she had found. “It''s Bethany. She sent someone to
investigate you around New Year when Mr. Xenos was at Coldbridge. After investigating you and
Delh, she asked someone to tell Delh that you''re doing well here. Coincidentally, Rupert went to
gamble during the New Year holidays and borrowed fifty thousand from the loansharks there. Now,
adding his snowballing interest, his debt is more than two hundred thousand. Thus, Mrs. Macbee
brought him to get money from you.”
Sophia tutted. “Bethany is so free recently.”
I thought she was focused on being a celebrity. I didn''t bother her, yet she''s trying to mess with me.
Smirking, Sophia answered, “Understood. It''ste, so why don''t you return first. Thanks for your work
today.”
“No problem, Ms. Yarrow.”
Sophia shed her a smile before ncing at the time on her phone. “I''m going.”
“Should I drive you back, Ms. Yarrow?”
Sophia''s car was at thepany, and she had lost the car key with the bag Deliliah had snatched.
Thus, Alexander was the one who sent her to the police station.
It was alreadyte at night, so it would be past ten if Yvonne sent Sophia back before going home.
“No need to trouble you. I''ll take a taxi.”
The two had just walked out of the police station when Sophia saw Alexander standing beside his car.
After casting a quick nce at him, she lowered her head to call a taxi.
Yvonne also noticed him. Although outsiders might not know what happened in Sophia and Alexander''s
marriage, as Sophia''s secretary, who was always avable, Yvonne was clear about it. Hence, she had
an immensely poor impression of Alexander.
Besides, Sophia was not only her boss but also her goddess.
The usually polite Yvonne did not greet Alexander with the customary smile when she saw him walk
over.
ncing at Yvonne, Alexander recognized her as Sophia''s secretary.
“Ms. Yarrow, let me send you home,” Yvonne offered without waiting for Alexander to speak.
Sophia put away her phone, lifted her head to look at Yvonne, and smiled. “Sure.”
Happy to hear Sophia''s agreement, Yvonne chirped, “Please wait for a moment. I''ll drive the car over.”
“There''s no need. I''ll send her back,” a man''s low baritone voice rang out.
Irritated, Yvonne spoke up before Sophia for the first time. “No need to trouble you, Mr. Xenos. I''ll send
Ms. Yarrow back.”
Not expecting Yvonne to dislike Alexander so much, Sophia raised her eyebrows in surprise and
pretended not to hear Alexander''s words. “Let''s go.”
Yvonne was dazed for a moment, but she quickly regained her bearings and walked in front of Sophia
to lead the way.
As her car was not parked nearby, Yvonne strode hastily in her heels, afraid that Alexander would
catch up.
Yet, Sophia walked behind her leisurely. Only after walking some distance did Yvonne realize she was
walking too fast.
Shocked and frustrated at herself, she immediately stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at
Sophia. “Sorry for walking so fast, Ms. Yarrow.”
“Why? Are dogs chasing us?” Sophia asked, ying dumb.
Yvonne almost nodded, but she stopped herself in time due to her professionalism. “It''s windy tonight.
I''m afraid you''ll get sick.”
Chuckling, Sophia replied, “Let''s go.” Interestingly, she did not call Yvonne out.
Soon, the two reached the parking lot. After getting into the car, Yvonne drove off.
Yvonne was in a great mood.
Previously, she thought Alexander was a nice man, but ever since Sophia divorced him, she found he
had no attributes that made him worthy of her goddess.
I know what Alexander''s thinking. He wants to send Ms. Yarrow home so he can have the opportunity
to have a drink at her house. If her heart softens, something might happen between them since it''ste
and there are only the two of them. I''ve made such a smart move!
Suddenly, the car jerked to a halt. Sophia''s eyshes fluttered open. “What happened?”
Yvonne nced at Sophia, her cheeks hot. “I think the car broke down. You stay in the car. I''ll go and
see.”
There were not many cars on the road at such ate hour.
Unwilling to let her beautiful secretary check the car alone, Sophia unfastened her seatbelt and got out
of the vehicle despite agreeing to stay inside.
Seeing Sophia had gotten down the car, Yvonne said guiltily, “Ms. Yarrow, it''s cold at night. You should
wait in the car.”
“It''s fine,” replied Sophia as she walked to the front of the car and lifted the hood.
In truth, Yvonne did not know much about cars, so she was unsure if her car had broken down. Amid
her confusion, Sophia reminded, “Take out your warning triangle.”
Yvonne immediately nodded. She had forgotten about it in her anxiety.
It was likely that the car broke down, but Sophia did not know how to repair it either.
After cing the warning triangle, Yvonne walked back and asked, “Ms. Yarrow, why don''t I ask Mr.
Sullivan to fetch you?”
Sophia shook her head. “It''s sote already. Forget it.”
Ethan Sullivan was Sophia''s driver, but usually, Sophia would drive herself. Now, Ethan mainly drove
the secretaries around.
As it waste, Sophia did not want to bother Ethan.
Upon hearing those words, Yvonne, who was preparing to call, could only keep her phone.
She red at her car, angry and forlorn at her misfortune.
Out of the three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, why did my car break down today? I''m so
pissed!
However, Sophia was in no hurry. “Call a tow truck. I''ll hail a taxi after the tow truck arrives.”
Yvonne had wanted Sophia to leave first, as she could not bear to let thetter wait in the cold with her
on such a chilly night.
However, gazing at Sophia, she agreed, touched. “All right, Ms. Yarrow.”
Nodding, Sophia nced at the time again.
It''s half-past nine. Seems like I''m sleepingte again tonight.
She had just raised her head when a ck Maybach slowly stopped before them.
The re of the headlights instantly illuminated the dark road.
Reflexively, Sophia raised her hand to block the blinding lights. Upon lowering her hand, she saw
Alexander open the car doors and step out.
What a coincidence.
“The car broke down?”
Yvonne hung up the phone and hurried over to block Sophia from Alexander''s view. Yet, recalling her
disgrace of a car, she stopped in her tracks.
“Yeah,” Sophia replied dispassionately.
Glimpsing Yvonne, who vied with him for Sophia just now, Alexander furrowed his brows and ordered
Sophia, “Get in my car. I''ll give Felix a call.”

“There''s no need for that. Ms. Leighton can handle everything.”
“Ms. Yarrow, it''s cold out here. You should get in Mr. Xenos'' car first.” This was one of the rare
instances where Yvonne was on Alexander''s side.
Sophia narrowed her eyes warningly at Yvonne.
What a betrayer.
Though Sophia did not say anything, Yvonne understood the former''s meaning.
She shifted her eyes guiltily. I don''t want Alexander to get this chance either, but my car is too lousy!
We are in the middle of the road,te at night, and the wind is gusting and chilly. It''s fine if I stay in the
cold, but I''ll be worried if Ms. Yarrow gets sick!
