Chapter 229
This incident created quite a hugemotion in Jadeborough. Within a short moment, everyone was
unable to ept the fact that Sophia went from being an abandoned wife of a wealthy family to the
biggest shareholder of apany.
After all, when Sophia married Alexander, everyone knew very well that she had only two friends and
no family. In fact, there were not a lot of people present for her at the wedding. Hence, many people
underestimated her even before she married Alexander.
News of her divorcing Alexander and leaving without a single penny caused quite a stir too.
Now that Sophia was able to spend over a billion on Expedite in one go, everyone felt suspicious.
Hence, criticisms emerged in parallel to praises about how impressive Sophia was.
Within two hours, one of the influencers even published a five-thousand-word essay specting where
Sophia got her money from.
The essay proposed two hypotheses. Firstly, Sophia did not actually leave without a single penny after
divorcing Alexander—she merely did not seek any marypensation from him. However, she
had demanded fixed assets such as property and cars. Otherwise, there was no way she could
continue living in a mansion, driving a luxury car, and living life so freely.
The second hypothesis was that Sophia had borrowed the money from her fiancé, Lukas—in other
words, from the Dawson family.
Both hypotheses seemed quite reliable and logical.
Naturally, the author was more inclined toward the first hypothesis. He believed that since the Dawson
family had always kept a low profile and Sophia was merely Lukas'' fiancée, there was no way they
would fork out the money even if it was not a huge sum to them.
After the post was published, many people started analyzing why Sophia was willing to use all of her
assets to be the biggest shareholder of Expedite.
They mentioned Sophia''s rtionship with Bethany and Alexander, thinking that Sophia just wanted to
take revenge for what had happened.
Afterward, a lot ofizens mocked Sophia. Even if she was wealthy, her divorce from Alexander was
an unchangeable fact.
When Katherine was surfing the Inte and came across thesements, she was furious. She
logged into her alternate ount and started arguing with thoseizens.
However, she identally messed things up. Since she did not manage to switch between her primary
and alternate ounts in time, her alternate ount got exposed. After Sophia trended on the top
searches, Katherine appeared right behind her. Within five minutes, she even surpassed Sophia and
emerged at the top of the rankings.
When Jonice saw that, she almost fainted from anger. She dashed from the newbies'' training room to
Katherine''s office. “Are you out of your mind, Katherine?”
Since Katherine had already been exposed, there was nothing else that she could lose. “I can''t bear to
watch this, Jonice! Don''t stop me!”
Jonice''s face was already pale. “Give me your phone!”
“No!”
Those b*stards can scold me but not Sophia!
After saying that, she quickly drafted a post on her main ount. Yeah, it''s me! If you''re capable, argue
with me here! Otherwise, shut up! Go ahead and scold me. However, if you dare to scold my bestie, I''ll
wish death upon your family!
After Katherine posted that, Jonice''s phone buzzed. Since she had specifically followed Katherine on
Twitter, she immediately saw a notification for the new post on her phone.
Jonice trembled in rage. “Do you still wish to stay in the entertainment industry, Katherine?”
On the other hand, Katherine was very calm. “Don''t panic, Jonice. See, many people are praising me
for being brave! Now that things have be like this, why don''t you let me argue online for another
two hours?”
Throughout her years of working as a manager, this was the moment Jonice felt like she would
probably retire early due to Katherine.
News soon spread to Sophia. Yvonne briefly summarized what had happened to her. “Ms. Yarrow,
about Ms. Quinn...”
Sophia chuckled. “No need to delete them. Tell Mark to draft a few legalints for me.”
Yvonne nodded. “Okay, I''ll inform him right away.”
“All right,” replied Sophia before whipping out her phone and logging into her ount, which had been
inactive for a long time.
She gained a lot of followers after she argued online during the awards ceremony. However, she had
not logged into that ount after that, which led to it appearing like a spam ount.
However, that ount had nowe alive. Sophia casually took a screenshot of the remaining funds
she had on her credit card and added a caption: The ignorant fools can never understand.
The funds on the credit card she had randomly taken a screenshot of were not that high—merely
around three to four hundred million.

When Katherine, who had been lecturing the others online, saw Sophia had posted something, she
thought that it would be a touching post about their sisterhood. Never had she expected to see Sophia
tantly bragging about her wealth.
It was not a great feeling to see the number of digits in that screenshot.
However, that did not stop Katherine from her mission to lecture the others online. Although she
normally seemed quite aloof and cold, she decided to overturn that image after her alternate ount
was exposed. She spent the entire morning arguing with the otherizens. None of them could win
her, and many simply went offline to protect themselves.
Soon, Sophia''s post where she bragged about her wealth appeared on the top searches. It was swiftly
followed by the official legalint that Mark had posted online.
Felix kept himself updated with the news. Every time something happened, he would report it to
Alexander.
Initially, Alexander wanted to instruct someone to delete all the top searches. However, it seemed like
he had underestimated Sophia too much.
“Mr. Xenos, I discovered that the two influencers encouraging the rest to nder Ms. Yarrow received
five hundred thousand in their ounts three hours ago.”
“Who did that?”
“The person who transferred the money is called Susan Dawson.”
Dawson?
Alexander frowned slightly. “Send the details to me.”
He wanted to im credit from Sophia.
“Okay, Mr. Xenos. I''ll send them to you now.”
Soon, Alexander received the screenshotted details. “Continue following up on this matter.”
“Yes, Mr. Xenos.”
Even without Alexander''smands, Felix would still update himself about it. It was his first time being
so excited about keeping up with the drama. Ms. Yarrow really kept her true abilities hidden so well!
Felix was so excited that he could not help but send a question mark to Yvonne, whose number had
been idly lying in his contacts for a few months.
When Yvonne received Felix''s message, she frowned and texted back: What''s up?
Felix replied: Nothing. I just want to ask how Ms. Yarrow''s nning to deal with the stuff online.
Thinking that he was asking on Alexander''s behalf, Yvonne did not suspect anything much. Since it
was not something that could not be divulged to others, she told him briefly.
After reading the message, Felix felt excited for no reason.
Ms. Yarrow is truly my goddess! She managed to rebuke so many people without saying much!
At the same time, Sophia also received the screenshot that Alexander had sent to her.
When she saw Susan''s name, she had an inkling of what happened. Clicking her tongue softly, Sophia
propped her chin on her hand and thought about it. In the end, she decided to deal with Susan much
later to see what other tricks Susan had up her sleeve.
Perhaps because she still had not replied to him after a long time, Alexander messaged her again:
Aren''t you going to thank me?
Sophia could not help butugh before she answered with a voice message, “Thanks, Mr. Xenos.”
He replied quickly: Are you just going to express your gratitude verbally?
Sophia scoffed and texted: What else do you want, Mr. Xenos?
This time, Alexander sent a voice message instead of a text. “Can my progress bar increase a little,
Sophia?”
When his deep and mellow voice sounded from the phone, Sophia blushed.
