Chapter 307
The rumor of Yvonne being Suny circted Jadeborough for several days. Sunshine Group did not
rify the matter, nor did they deny it.
Unable to control what the world thought, Yvonne continued her work diligently every day.
However, some were clever enough to call the other shareholders of Sunshine Group to ask who Suny
was, but the possibility of Yvonne being Suny was written off with certainty.
That was why the rumor subsided after a couple of days despite Sunshine Group''s neglect to make a
formal announcement.
Katherine was greatly amused when she found out that Samuel had been the source of those rumors.
“Hah, what a joke, Soph! Is Samuel really Mr. Xenos'' friend? Why is he acting like an idiot?”
Sophia had note to Specter Entertainment in over two weeks, so Katherine took advantage of the
former''s rare appearance one day and grabbed her to ask about thetest developments of the rumor.
Sophia took a sip of tea and nced at her friend. “Shouldn''t you take a look at yourself before saying
these things?”
Pot calling the kettle ck.
Katherine, who was breathless withughter, said, “You seem to be implying something, Soph.”
Sophia chuckled. “Not at all. You are mistaken.”
Katherine did not believe her. “Then what was that about looking at my—Oh. You are making fun of
me.”
Sophia is calling me a hypocrite!
Sophia nced sideways at her. “Not bad. You''ve proven to be slightly smarter than Mr. Schild.”
Katherine was rendered speechless.
I don''t want to bepared with that oaf, Samuel!
Katherine was about to retort when Sophia''s phone suddenly rang. She swallowed the words she was
about to utter and watched Sophia answer the call.
Sophia nced at the phone and disyed no intention of picking it up. “I don''t know who this is.”
It was an unfamiliar number.
She rejected the call, but her phone began vibrating again two secondster.
“That might be your love rival,” Katherine suggested, her interest piqued.
Sophia giggled and mouthed, “Go away,” before rising to answer the phone.
“Hello, Sophia? It''s me, Yvette.”
Sophia quickly recalled something upon hearing the familiar voice and answered listlessly, “What can I
do for you?”
“I''m getting married this weekend. I sent you an invitation, and I''m calling to remind you as I''m worried
you might have forgotten about it. I also invited all our ssmates. We got along well back then, and I
would like to see everybody making it to my wedding.”
Sophia gazed at a cloud outside the tall windows and smiled. “Rest assured. I''ll be there.”
I''ll be there even if I do not have much of a friendship with them.
After a pause, she added, “By the way, I''ve prepared a special gift for you, Yvette. I hope you''ll like it
when you see it.”
I have yet to pay her back for Tanya, and she fell for it so quickly. ”You are too kind. I would have been
d for your presence alone. A gift is not necessary!”
Though their previous gathering ended in a huff, Yvette had still benefited from it.
At the very least, she had ascertained Sophia and Alexander''s reconciliation and that Sophia was a
friend of Joshua, who was from Technology Innovations. As much as Yvette did not like admitting it,
Sophia''s connection with both men was beneficial to have in an acquaintance.
Though her prior invitation to Sophia was merely to inform the woman of her wedding to Henry and to
have him give up, in addition to showing off her marriage and happiness, Yvette was still refusing to
ept the circumstances after their gathering.
Her soon-to-be husband''spany was gaining traction and required vast resources, and Alexander''s
prestige in Jadeborough went without saying.
Henry''spany would be bright with possibilities if I could enlist his help in building the necessary
connections. Besides, Henry''spany is rted to Technology Innovations. It would be half the battle
won in discussing a partnership if I can build a rapport with Sophia.
Having thought it through and heard Sophia''s promise of a special gift, Yvette became so consumed
with glee that she had forgotten that Sophia barely knew the people in her ss.
Also, she had not considered if the special gift was something she could bear.
Sophia gave a courteousugh. “It''s only right.”
“All right, then,” Yvette answered hurriedly. “I won''t bother you anymore.”
“Hmm.”
After hanging up, Sophia turned and found Katherine sprawled on the couch, staring at her.
“Who was that?” she scoffed. “What was that talk about a special gift?”
“Yvette.”
Katherine was taken aback. “Why did she call you?”
Although Katherine and Sophia did not attend the same school, the former often visited Jadeborough
University to meet Sophia and Joshua. In fact, she knew the people in their ss and their
personalities better than them.
Katherine vaguely recalled Yvette, who was deemed the prettiest girl in ss and was present at
Sophia''s graduation ceremony. She also remembered Yvette''s awful words and would have pped
thetter if not for fear of ruining the atmosphere.
Shaking herself out of her reverie, Sophia walked over. “She''s getting married and asked me to attend
her wedding.”
“Didn''t you say she''s involved in the matter regarding Tanya? Why would you still attend her wedding?”
Sophia returned to the couch and plopped herself down. “To give her a special gift.”

Katherine knew from a nce at Sophia''s expression that the gift would be something extraordinary.
She leaned over at once. “What are you going to do, Soph?”
Sophia pushed her friend''s inquisitive head away. “Stop being a busybody. Let''s be serious for a
moment.”
Katherine pursed her lips. “Tell me! Poor Tanya. If not for Yvette''s bbing, she would not have been
taken advantage of by that b*stard, Connor. Hasn''t Yvette been running to Tanya to make things worse
for her?”
Sophia''s smile faded at the mention of that. “I''m going to give her a taste of her own medicine.”
Not wishing to discuss the matter any further, Sophia changed the subject.
The pair chatted a little longer about the neer, had lunch, then went their separate ways.
As Sophia had not visited Tanya in a while, she drove to the hospital after lunch.
Throughout Tanya''s month-long convalescence in the hospital, Yvonne updated Sophia on the former''s
condition every day.
Tanya''s mood had stabilized ofte. Even the attending doctor praised her for exerting better control.
Sophia arrived to find Laura peeling an apple for Tanya while Tanya drew.
The sun shone through the windows, and the ward was bright and serene.
“Hello Tanya, Mrs. Gomez.”
“Sophia!” Tanya and Laura were delighted to see her.
Laura poured Sophia a ss of warm water. “Here you go, Ms. Yarrow.”
Sophia epted it. “Thank you,” she said with a smile.
She then touched Tanya''s cheek. “You''re bing chubby.”
Tanya blushed when she gazed into Sophia''s gentle and mischievous almond-shaped eyes. “I''ve been
eating well.”
Laura rose and left the ward to give them some space.
Sophia nced at Tanya''s work. Instead of characters, she drew scenery this time.
Upon closer inspection, she realized it was the scene outside the window.
Tanya opened theptop beside her when she noticed what Sophia was looking at. “I''ve designed the
main characters. What do you think?”
“Silk Stream” depicted a male and female protagonist, three supporting male characters, and four
supporting female characters. All nine characters in the story embodied vivid personalities.
Tanya''s talent in this avenue could not be denied.
Sophia did intend to care for her. As Samuel said, theic was not worth much. But as she studied
the characters Tanya showed her, Sophia had the hunch that it might exceed their expectations.
