Chapter 374
Sophia went downstairs after ending the call.
By then, Alexander had made breakfast. When Sophia walked to him, he passed her a ss of warm
water.
“Thank you.”
Alexander nced at her. “Do you know about the video Old Mrs. Sharp postedst night?”
Sophia took a sip of her warm water and nodded. “I just received a call from Ms. Leighton.”
“Mhm,” Alexander muttered before reaching out to touch her cheek. “What are you going to do?”
Alexander was definitely going to find out what Sophia was nning to do.
Sophia smiled and revealed to him the thoughts in her mind. “Regardless of whether it''s Kristen or
Dillon, the two of them must think that they can stop the Dawson family from helping you by doing this.
We''ll go along with their assumptions, then.”
Anyway, it was not as though Alexander needed the Dawson family''s help with how capable he was.
Kristen and Dillon had to be fearful and desperate to have used such lowly tricks. Their actions also
meant that they were not confident.
“As you wish.”
It was something easy for Alexander to do. All he needed was to give an order, and Felix would deal
with it immediately.
However, since Sophia was keen to watch a show, a show was what he was going to give to her to
make her happy.
Sophia''s ears heated up when she noticed his stare, and she quickly turned away by drinking the
water.
“Time to eat breakfast now.”
Alexander nced at her and quirked his brow, but he did not say anything about Sophia''s obvious
shyness.
After breakfast, the two of them went to the office. Sophia had a meeting that day. Perhaps Dillon''s
incident the day before served as a warning for Ron, for the shrewd Ron did not protest against any of
Sophia''s decisions that day.
Right as Sophia came out of the conference room, Belinda rushed over to her. “Ms. Yarrow, Ms.
Leighton.”
Sophia lifted a brow and gave Belinda a smile. “Calm down and tell me what happened.”
Belinda turned red in the face at Sophia''s smile, for she realized she was being a little too anxious.
After taking a deep breath to rpose herself, she informed, “Ms. Yarrow, there is arge group of
reporters downstairs, and they''re saying that they want to meet you. Also, Jadeborough Evening News''
reporters came right up with their press passes.”
Sophia lifted her brows. “They came right up?”
Belinda nodded. That was why she had been in such a rush to get to Sophia.
Sophia scoffed. “It looks like Jadeborough Evening News is desperate to earn some cash.”
It was rare for Yvonne to see Sophia''s icy look. Hence, she knew that Sophia was truly angry when she
saw the fading of thetter''s smile.
ncing at Belinda, she then said, “Ms. Yarrow, I''ll get the security up here.”
Sophia nodded. “Look into what Jadeborough Evening News has been doingtely, too. Let their
editor-in-chief see what his reporters have been doing.”
Although Sophia was not as much of a gossipmonger as Katherine, she still knew most of the things
she needed to know.
There had been many reported incidents involving Jadeborough Evening News in the first half of the
year, and those incidents had all left records on the inte. Jadeborough Evening News did not seem
to care much about its reputation and was willing to do anything for the sake of poprity. Hence,
Sophia did not mind lending them a helping hand and making them trend on the inte.
Yvonne hastily nodded in response. “I got it, Ms. Yarrow.”
Sophia then turned to Yvonne and said, “I''ll be going back first. Do deal with the reporters downstairs.”
Although Sophia wanted to watch Dillon embarrass himself, it did not mean that she enjoyed others
disrupting her schedule.
As for her anger... Technically, she was not angry.
Coincidentally, Katherine was free that day. After exiting Sunshine Group, Sophia went straight to the
kebab shop Katherine had rmended.
It was a weekday, so the shop was not crowded.
Katherine had recently filmed a promotional video, so she had been quite poprtely. Therefore, she
had to fully cover herself up before leaving her house.
Katherine spotted Sophia from afar, and she waved at her friend. Sophia smiled and walked toward
her. “Hi, Ms. Famous. It''s been a while.”
“Look at the tears in my eyes! Soph, did you miss me?”
Sure enough, it had been some time since the two met up. Katherine''s schedule was packed
previously, and she even took on an advertising job from a famed brand. She had just gone to Epea the
week before for the filming.
Right as Sophia took her seat, Katherine ran over to her side and spread her arms to hug her.
However, Sophia stopped her and uttered, “Restrain yourself.”
Katherine huffed in dissatisfaction. “You''ve changed! What happened to sisters before misters? Boo-
hoo! My life is terrible! I can''t believe my dear friend doesn''t want me anymore!”
It had been a few months since Katherine had taken on an acting role, but it seemed like she still had
no trouble being dramatic.
Sophia only smiled at her in silence.
After a while of her fake crying, Katherine became bored and dropped the act. “Ahem. Let''s get back to
the real topic. What''s that old hag trying to do this time?”
It was not the first time Delh hade to stir up trouble with Sophia. Thest time she did that,
Sophia had taught her a lesson. Who would have expected her to repeat her actions just a few months
after that?
Frankly, Katherine was at the end of her patience with Delh.
However, Sophia chuckled and said, “She''s only doing this for the money.”
Katherine knew more or less about Dillon''s matter. Even if Sophia did not tell her anything, Joshua
would have told her bits and pieces about it.

For once, the gears in Katherine''s mind turned, and she said, “Alexander has much on his te too.”
Sophia nced at her and questioned, “What are you trying to say?”
A wave of guilt hit Katherine at her stare, and she cleared her throat. “Nothing, nothing.”
“Uh-huh?”
There was no way Sophia would believe her dismissive response. Nevertheless, she did not verbally
prompt her further—she just kept staring at Katherine.
In the end, Katherine relented and muttered, “Do you know Chandler Shaw?”
Sophia lifted a brow in response. “What''s with him? Are you familiar with him?”
A pauseter, Sophia added, “Does Joshua know about this?”
All courage fled Katherine at the mention of Joshua. “Hey, don''t overthink this! I''m not close to him. I
only heard this from someone else, okay? It seems like he has something against Alexander. Also,
didn''t your granddad try to y matchmaker for you and Chandler?”
Sophia could not help but click her tongue. “You know quite a lot, don''t you?”
Katherine sheepishly smiled. “It''s mainly because of my socialwork.”
As Sophia flipped through the menu, she asked, “So, what are you trying to tell me?”
Katherine was someone who could not keep things under wraps for long, so she blurted out everything
she knew, regardless of whether or not it was something she should be telling Sophia about.
It was a pretty dramatic matter. As it turned out, Chandler had a younger sister named Noelle Shaw.
She used to have a crush on Alexander, but her love was unreciprocated. Alexander never once looked
at her in a friendly manner, and he was extremely rejectful of her. One night, Noelle was robbed. She
called Alexander, but he hung up on her and blocked her.
By the time Noelle was sent to the hospital, she had lost too much blood and died.
Katherine even btedly added, “I don''t mean anything else, by the way. I just want to share some
gossip with you.”
Sophia gave her a half-smile. “Are you about to tell me that Alexander''s too cold-blooded?”
We really are good friends! Sophia truly can read my mind.
Right as Katherine was about to wistfullyment how well Sophia knew her, she heard Sophia say,
“What did Chandler offer to you?”
