Chapter 147
Ten months since their divorce, Sophia had not thought about the things that had happened fifteen
years ago for a long time.
However, because of Alexander''s confession, her dreams that night were filled with scenes from the
past, on the day he had rescued her.
Sophia did not sleep well that night. Therefore, she was not in a great mood when she woke up the
following day.
She rubbed her temples and instructed Genie to open the curtains.
It was the rainy season in Jadeborough every March and April. The drizzlest night hadsted to the
following day.
The gloomy weather outside the window reflected Sophia''s state of mind.
That incidentst night had spread all over the inte. Theizens were saying that Alexander and
Horatius were love rivals, both harboring grudges toward one another.
An anonymous daredevil had recorded a video of Alexander and Horatius going back and forthst
night and posted it on the inte, stirring up amotion on the web.
Horatius, the heir to Onyx Builders, was well-known for his phndering behavior. He was the typical
yboy among the elites, and his girlfriend for the longest timested only half a year.
Sophia was Alexander''s ex-wife and was currently favored by Horatius. Thus, all kinds ofments
and spections regarding thatplicated rtionship flooded the inte.
Because of the growing sensation, Darrell, attending a summit, was also questioned regarding his view
on the matter rted to Horatius pursuing Sophia early in the morning.
The reporter who had asked Darrell that question was undoubtedly a thick-skulled person.
Many reporters had directed simr questions at him in the past. However, because of Horatius''
frequent and swift changes in his romance partners, Darrell would only respond with a simr
statement. He would always tell the reporters Horatius was an adult capable of figuring out what was
best for himself.
Having said that, everyone knew an ordinary girl would not be qualified to be part of the Swain
family due to his formidable family background.
However, most of Horatius'' girlfriends were not regr girls, as they also came from impressive
families.
Still, their families'' wealth was insignificantpared to Onyx Builders.
In fact, Sophia''s family background did not differ much from Horatius'' previous girlfriends''. Despite
Specter Entertainment''s aplishments, it was still a newly establishedpany that could easily be
crushed.
Hence, everyone expected Darrell to provide a simr response as before regarding his view on that
matter since he did not have to be wary of Sophia''s background.
In mostizens'' opinion, that was a dumb question proposed by the reporter.
Still, a piece of news worthy of bing a trending headline must not be that simple.
Instead of giving an answer simr to the “official statement” as before, Darrell unprecedentedly
replied, “Ms. Yarrow is wonderful. I like her a lot. If Horatius manages to win her affection, I''d be smiling
in my sleep.”
With Darrell''s current status, he no longer needed to please others with insincere tteries.
Thus, it was evident that he had expressed his genuine thoughts on that matter this time.
The reporter quickly regained his senses after a momentary shock. He swiftly asked another
noteworthy question, “Do you mind Ms. Yarrow being married to someone else in the past?”
Darrell narrowed his eyes. “A woman''s excellence would not be tarnished by her willingness to get
married or how many people she was married to.”
Subsequently, he refused to answer any more questions and entered the venue under the escort of the
bodyguards.
The inte was aze once the footage of that interview was published.
Some people scolded that reporter for harboring prejudice toward divorced women, while others
discussed the main point mentioned by Darrell when he described Sophia as an excellent woman.
Three of the top five trending headlines on Twitter were rted to Sophia.
Meanwhile, Sophia scrolled through her Twitter page while having her breakfast. In contrast to
Katherine and the others'' astonishment and excitement, she, as the person involved, was oddly calm.
She thought that was merely a trivial situation.
Nevertheless, Sophia was slightly taken aback as she did not anticipate Darrell to speak up for her.
Following Darrell''s speech, even if anyone intended to secretly nder Sophia by bribing the media to
publish detrimental news about her, their attempts would be in vain. After all, Darrell had personally
complimented Sophia for her brilliance.
Naturally, some people were joyous after listening to Darrell''s speech, while others were annoyed.
Ka had already bought off a mediapany to publish damaging articles about Sophia''s pretentious
nature and behavior. She was just waiting for the time to turn nine o''clock when everybody began their
work for the day to proceed with her n.
However, anyone with a sane mind would not dare to disseminate such grant articles following
Darrell''s interview.
“Ms. Fletcher, should we proceed with publishing the news?”
“What? Are you trying to cause me to be humiliated in public after my actions are exposed?”
Ka was livid. She directly hung up the call afterward.
At the same time, inside the CEO''s office in Odyssey.
Felix stood before the desk, not daring to make a sound.
When he woke up that day, he saw that trending headlines rted to Alexander, Sophia, and Horatius
had bombarded Twitter.
Afterst night''s incident was posted on the inte, the majority of theizens showed their support
for Sophia and rebuked Alexander.
Felix was dumbfounded when he received a phone call from his assistant after waking up that morning.
He did not expect things to undergo more changes after an hour because Horatius, from Onyx
Builders, had also meddled in that matter.
And now, Sophia and Horatius'' rtionship had be a fact.
Felix had witnessed Alexander''s efforts in trying to get back together with Sophia these days.
He could not believe the usually high and mighty Alexander had cautiously admitted his mistakes
before Sophiast night.
Frankly, even Felix felt that Alexander was pitiful when he saw the video.
Nheless, he knew pity and sympathy yed no roles in a rtionship.
Alexander fell silent for ten seconds after watching the interview footage.

Felix could clearly feel the depressing atmosphere inside the office. He nced at the gloomy weather
outside the window and could not help but sigh. It seems like ourpany has a chaotic day ahead.
After a long while, Alexander stirred. “When did she be acquainted with Horatius?”
That was a rtively private question to ask. Felix nced at Alexander. His heart shuddered when he
met with thetter''s dark eyes. “I''m not sure. Should I investigate to find out more information, Mr.
Xenos?”
Even though Felix thought that would be an inappropriate thing to do, he had no other choice but to
carry out his duty if required by his employer.
“That''s not needed. You may leave.”
Felix felt relieved. He turned on his heels and hurriedly left the office.
Alexander was left alone inside the spacious room after Felix was gone.
He stared at Darrell''s face on the screen of his tablet. That cunning old man was wearing a contented
smile. Anyone who had crossed paths with Darrell would know whether he was lying or simply being
polite with his speech.
Odyssey had coborated twice with Onyx Builders in the past few years. Alexander had shared a
meal with Darrell four times, so he knew that those were Darrell''s heartfelt words.
The hangover caused his head to ache terribly, but the pain was nothingpared to the agony in his
heart after listening to Darrell''s interview.
He suddenly realized Sophia might no longer have anything to do with him in the future.
His phone vibrated continuously on the table. Alexander nced at the device, and his eyes turned
frosty instantaneously.
That was a phone call from Kristen. He already knew what she was going to say and ask him.
Nevertheless, he wondered how they could be so confident that Sophia would fall for him again.
