Chapter 264
Sophia looked up at him and asked with an eyebrow arched, “Aren''t you curious?”
Why is he so calm? Do I not pique his interest?
“Oh, I am curious,” Alexander paused briefly, “but I would much rather kiss you right now.”
He then grabbed her chin and lifted her face slightly before nting a deep and passionate kiss on her
lips.
They could taste the sweetness of the watermelon as their tongues intertwined. Alexander was very
aggressive with his kisses, and Sophia soon found herself suffocating a little.
Because of the awkward position they were in, Alexander carried her into hisp instead.
Sophia let out a soft moan as she felt the mes of passion burning in her loins.
Alexander traced his tongue over her rosy lips and the fair skin of her neck before stopping at her sexy
corbones.
The cor of Sophia''s shirt was wide open, and that fueled Alexander''s feelings of lust even further.
His erection was so strong that his pants could not keep it down. It wasn''t long before Sophia felt
something warm and hard pressing against her body. She instinctively tried to move it out of the way,
only to hear Alexander moan in response.
He tightened his grip around her waist and pulled her closer to him. With both their chests pressing
against each other, they could clearly feel each other''s heartbeat.
“Stop moving around,” Alexander said.

Upon realizing what he meant, Sophia tensed up and didn''t dare make another move.
A few momentster, she looked up at him and whispered, “I''m thirsty, Alexander.”
Alexander sat her down beside him and went off to pour her a ss of water.
Although he had returned to his usual cold and elegant self, the sweat on his forehead was proof that
he had nearly lost control earlier.
Sophia took the ss and lowered her head to sip on the water.
Her heart was still pounding like crazy against her chest. It was so loud that she wondered if Alexander
could hear it from where he stood.
“How did you set up Sunshine Group, Sophia?” Alexander asked while gently running his fingers
through her hair.
Sophia shot him a nce and gave him a summary of herpany''s history. “I was about fifteen when
my family''s financial situation improved. My parents bought lots of insurance, so I received over one
million and three hundred thousand inpensation. That was quite a huge sum back then. Since I
studied finance, I learned a little something about investment from one of my lecturers. The rule was
not to invest more than two thousand. I would then manage that investment ount and evaluate the
profits and losses at the end of each month. Back then, I found the purchase of stocks rather fun, so I
created two ounts and invested over four hundred thousand in the main ount. I would then sell
my stocks as soon as their prices went up and use the money earned to purchase other stocks at low
prices.
“After about two years of doing this, I had over ten million in my bank ount. During my third year of
university, an unpopr actress named Katherine Quinn was starring in a low-budget film as the lead
actress. However, she had to stop the filming halfway through due to ack of funds. I liked the script
and felt bad for Katherine, so I decided to invest three million in the film. Surprisingly, the film became a
huge hit eight monthster and earned one billion four hundred million. By being the film''s biggest
investor, I was able to earn three hundred million even though I only invested three million in it.
“Having amassed quite a fortune, I decided to set up apany with that money instead of keeping it
in the bank. That''s how I set up Sunshine Group. I also invested in several otherpanies, all of
which became listedter on. In just a few years, Sunshine Group made a ton of progress in terms of
development. When I was in my fourth year of university, my childhood friend Joshua''s entrepreneurial
project was stopped by the university. As the project was about to bepleted, Joshua refused to
give up on it. He went looking everywhere for investors but to no avail. I had faith in Joshua''s
capabilities, so I decided to help him out by investing ten million in his project. That way, he could focus
solely on his research and development to strengthen hispany.
“As I am not the only shareholder of Sunshine Group, I was worried that the others would object to
investing in Technology Innovations, so I had to fork the money out of my own pocket. Eventually,
Technology Innovations became a listedpany and had its market value go up to nearly four billion.
As for Specter Entertainment... Katherine wanted to work her way up to be a B-list celebrity.
However, herpany tried to force her into doing sexual favors for that. When I learned about that, I
paid eight million aspensation for her breach of contract and set up Specter Entertainment. As
Specter Entertainment focused solely on Katherine, she was able to boost her poprity fairly quickly.
Naturally, as her business partner, Specter Entertainment is worth a lot more.”
Sophia hadn''t spoken that much in a long while. She figured she might as well tell him everything since
he asked.
It seems that luck isn''t all there is to Sophia''s sess. She also had great charm and a keen eye for
business opportunities. She made it all sound very simple and easy, but my experience in the corporate
world tells me it was far from easy. She lost her parents at the age of eighteen, and yet, she chose to
invest a quarter of the insurance money in stocks. That act alone shows just how courageous she is!
She was only neen when she invested three million in her friend''s film. That shows how confident
she was in her decision as well as her friend''s capabilities.
I heard of that film after it got popr. The film was produced on a small budget. Its total cost did not
exceed five million, and it was scheduled to be released on National Day. Neither the cast, the director
nor the producer were well-known, but the film earned more than eighty million on the first day of its
release. Thanks to the great reviews from the audience, the box office on the second day went over
two hundred million. In just seven days, that film had already earned one billion two hundred million.
Midway Media, too, had invested a huge amount of money in a film, but it only earned about three
hundred million. I still remember Samuelining about it back then.
Alexander didn''t know what he felt about Sophia''s story. On the one hand, he admired her courage and
intelligence. On the other, it pained him to see her working so hard all this while.
“You''re really amazing!” Alexander said while giving her a pat on the head.
Sophia felt as if she was beingplimented by a parent for scoring a hundred on her test.
She pulled his hand off and replied with a sarcastic smile, “Not nearly as amazing as you are, Mr.
Xenos! My achievements pale inparison to yours!”
Alexander was able to emerge victorious in the Xenos family and manage a hugepany like
Odyssey incredibly well.
“If I remember correctly, all thepanies that Sunshine Group invested in have all be very
sessful,” Alexander said after a brief pause.
“So?”
Alexander looked her in the eye. “So, you must be pretty rich.”
Sophia met his eyes and smiled. “Not as rich as you are, though!”
