Chapter 232


    Alexander''s trick didn''t work, so he had no choice but to leave.


    Sophia stood outside and watched as his car disappeared from sight. Then, she lowered her head and


    chuckled lowly.


    What a shameless man!


    When Sophia received Lukas'' call, she was walking out of the conference room after having finished a


    meeting at Sunshine Group.


    Lukas told her he would be at Jadeborough today and wanted to have a meal with her.


    Thest time she was at Doveston, Lukas had already informed her in advance that he would be


    coming to Jadeborough a few dayster.


    After the call ended, Sophia thought over it and decided to text Alexander.


    Lukas hade to Jadeborough for work, but his schedule was confidential. Thus, not many people


    knew he was here.


    At noon, Sophia told Yvonne to reserve a private room at Mirage. She departed from Sunshine Group


    at six sharp and went straight to the restaurant.


    It so happened that Sophia spotted Lukas getting out of his car after she parked hers.


    “Lukas!” she called out and scurried over to him. “Lukas.”


    Lukas observed her for a while. “You did gain some weight, huh? It wasn''t a lie.”


    Sophia stuck her tongue out sheepishly. “How long will you be in Jadeborough?”


    The first time they met before knowing each other, Lukas was polite but exuded an aura that repelled


    anyone who came close.


    Not long after, they reunited as siblings. After Penelope died, Sophia was perpetually in a bad mood. It


    was Lukas who kept herpany in the living room every night silently.


    He didn''t say anything but did everything a brother was supposed to do, and he had done a pretty good


    job too.


    Sophia felt close to him as they were rted by blood. When they were together, she couldn''t stop


    herself from talking more than usual.


    “Two days.” Lukas paused before adding, “I''ll visit you again next time on my off day.”


    “Okay!” Sophia beamed. Feeling shy, she told him, “I''ll return to Doveston after my business is done


    here.”


    “Mm,” Lukas grunted in acknowledgment as they entered Mirage.


    After ordering their food, Sophia noticed Lukas was looking at her and guessed it was about what


    happened a few days ago. “Lukas, does Granddad know everything?”


    Lukas sipped on his coffee. “I haven''t told him anything yet. You should be the one telling him as it


    concerns you.”


    Sophia pursed her lips. “Will I give him a shock?”


    Lukas recalled how Perrin and Kylie were talking about Sophia''s past wistfully yesterday after he got


    home. He told her, “I don''t think so.”


    Their imagination might go even wilder, though.


    Sophia agreed with him. Perrin had seen a lot, so he should be fine with having a rich granddaughter.


    Lukas'' purpose wasn''t just to visit Sophia. He also wanted to talk about her rtionship with Alexander.


    “Did you get back together with Alexander?”


    Sophia froze. “Yes,” she finally replied.


    “A friend of mine saw you both together.”


    Sophia wasn''t about to hide the truth from him. Besides, she had already informed Perrin about this


    previously. “But I don''t want to go public for now.”


    “That''s a good idea. After all, you might not end up marrying him.”


    He didn''t forget that they had already gotten a divorce once.


    Knowing Lukas didn''t like Alexander, Sophia couldn''t say anything to dissuade him and promptly


    changed the topic. “Lukas, themotion online was deliberately started by someone. That someone


    is targeting me.”


    Lukas was smart enough to guess, “Is it someone from the Dawson family?”


    Sophia gave a curt nod. “It was Susan.”


    Hearing that, Lukas remained unfazed as though it was a known fact to him.


    Right then, the door was pushed open to reveal the server, who came in with a trolley full of food.


    Lukas looked up and remained silent.


    After the dishes were served, the server left. Lukas broke the silence to say, “Don''t be afraid. I''ll handle


    her when I get back home.”


    Sophia giggled. “I can handle her on my own, actually.”


    She then told him what happened when she went shopping previously.


    Lukas gave her a piece of fish with a fork before getting a new one for himself. “Her n didn''t go


    unnoticed. However, we hadn''t found you at the time. Grandpa and Grandma are also no longer young,


    so that''s why Mom allowed her toe to our house.”


    They talked inside the private room, unaware of themotion outside.


    Recently, rumors had been going around saying that Alexander and Sophia were back together.


    However, she was seen eating and chattering happily with Lukas tonight. It was pretty obvious they


    were close to each other despite theck of intimate interactions.


    A few days ago, Ka had spotted Sophia and Alexander holding hands. They were, without a doubt,


    back together.


    Thus, she came over to the restaurant hastily after receiving her friend''s call.


    When she arrived, Sophia and Lukas were already in their private room.


    Ka stood outside the private room with her jaw clenched indignantly.


    Her friend suggested, “Why don''t we order a dish? You can put on the server''s jacket and enter the


    private room to take the photo you need.”


    Yes, Ka wanted to snap a photo to show Alexander how promiscuous Sophia was.


    Her friend''s suggestion was great, but Ka took one look at the server''s uniform and frowned. “This is


    too ugly and filthy!”


    The server''s expression stiffened. “Ms. Fletcher, I have a new one in my locker.”

    Ka might be bad-tempered, but she was a generous tip-giver.


    The server only offered her a new uniform in hopes that Ka would tip her moreter.


    Ka''s friend tugged at her. “Kay, stop hesitating. The dishes were served a while ago. If you keep


    hesitating, it will soon be time for them to leave! Besides, they are the only ones in the private room. No


    one knows what they are doing inside! If you don''t like the uniform, why don''t you ask the server to


    enter the private room again?”


    Ka grew agitated at her friend''s words.


    That won''t do! I must enter the room myself and take a photo of Lukas and Sophia together so I can


    send it to Alexander. Besides sending it to Alexander, I will also post it online!


    With that thought in mind, Ka decided to go all out. She red at the server standing beside her.


    “Why are you still standing here? Hurry, go get me your uniform!”


    “Okay, Ms. Fletcher!”


    After putting on the jacket, Ka began recording on her phone and entered the private room with the


    trolley. “Ms. Yarrow, this is... Sophia Yarrow! I finally caught you in the act. I knew something was going


    on between you two!”


    The moment Ka stepped into the room, she saw Lukas bending down to kiss Sophia. At once, she


    didn''t bother putting up an act and grabbed her phone to record Lukas and Sophia.


    Sophia looked at the back of her hand before ncing at Ka, who was d in the server''s uniform.


    Offering a smile, she said, “Long time no see, Ms. Fletcher. Is the Fletcher family in need of money?


    Why are you working as a server here?”


    Ka stiffened when she heard Sophia''s sarcastic remark. Nevertheless, she quickly regained her


    senses and sneered, “Look how calm you are. I''ve already recorded what you did earlier. Let''s see if


    you can continue two-timing Alexander after I send the video to him!”


    Sophia was tickled pink by Ka''s threat. Calmly, she took a sip of her soup and drawled, “Go ahead


    and send the video to Alexander then, Ms. Fletcher.”
