Chapter 461
In the meantime, udius, exited a restaurant in Lusterg to find Yasmin blocking her path.
Rose had already discussed with Yasmin''s parents to announce the cancetion of Yasmin and
udius'' engagement this week. udius wasn''t into Yasmin, but the same could not be said for
Yasmin. Thetter had been following udius around ever since he regained consciousness.
Yasmin, who was actively pursuing her doctorate degree, had plenty of time to win udius'' heart.
After all, it is always easier for women to pursue men. Yasmin believed that with time, udius would
fall in love with her eventually.
That was her belief until Sophia showed up. Chanaea and Anndur had a time difference of sixteen
hours, so Yasmin received those photos at around five in the morning. Immediately after waking up,
she flew all the way to Anndur to look for udius, wanting to confront him.
However, udius was nearly impossible to find. Ever since the day that Rose imed she would talk
to Yasmin''s parents about the annulment of Yasmin and udius'' engagement, udius'' two
bodyguards stopped revealing any information about his whereabouts.
Yasmin spent more than six hours flying to Lightspring, only to find out that he was no longer there.
Hence, she instantly flew back and headed straight for the hotel udius was staying at after she
landed.
To her dismay, he didn''t even spare her a nce as he walked straight toward his car.
Yasmin gritted her teeth. "udius, aren''t you interested in the information I have about Sophia?"
udius had just gotten into his car when he heard Yasmin''s question. The man merely peered at her,
showing no intention of getting down from the car.
Noticing that udius was still giving her the cold shoulder, Yasmin panicked. "My friend snapped a
few photos of Sophia on a date with another man in Chanaea. Are you sure you don''t want to look at
it?"
A frown marred udius'' countenance. Only then did he alight from the car, walking toward Yasmin.
"Hand over the photos."
Yasmin shed the photos smugly and gave them to udius, arching her brows in excitement as she
said, "udius, I''ve already told you she is not a decent woman. She flirted with you in Lightspring and
took advantage of her beauty to seduce you, but see for yourself! She has a boyfriend in Chanaea! My
friend in Chanaea told me that the man in the photo wasn''t even her boyfriend! He is her boyfriend''s
friend, and her boyfriend died in an ident half a year ago! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! I can''t believe her! Oh my
goodness, she is such a wicked woman! How can she hook up with her boyfriend''s friend? Now do you
still like her? Why did you cancel your engagement with me for an unscrupulous woman like her?
udius, are you insane?"
Yasmin grew increasingly furious as she spoke, but just as she was about to borate further, she was
interrupted by a ripping sound. udius tore the photos into pieces before throwing them to the
bodyguards beside him. With that, he turned and got back into his car.
Yasmin was stunned by the man''s reaction. She stared at udius in disbelief. "udius! What is
wrong with you? Are you blind? Can''t you see that Sophia was on a date with another man? Do you
like her that much to turn a blind eye toward the truth?"
Just then, udius turned sideways to look at Yasmin, sneering. "You''re right. I like her a lot."
Then, udius instructed his driver to drive off, leaving behind a cloud of exhaust gas and harsh words
that cut deep into Yasmin''s heart.
Yasmin stood rooted to the spot as udius'' car disappeared into the darkness. She regained her
senses after a while, trembling in anger. "udius, you b*stard!"
She cursed loudly in Chanaean, attracting the attention of many passersby who looked over curiously.
Stomping her foot lividly, she waved her hand to hail a taxi.
The incident went down without Sophia''s knowledge. After ruthlessly setting Alistair up during the
meeting earlier, she felt much better, and her mood improved significantly.
Lifting her head to check the time, she realized it was time for lunch. She massaged her temples before
leaving her office for a meal at thepany''s cafeteria.
Lukas'' call came in just as she sat down. Sophia peered at the caller ID before cing the bowl of soup
on the table. "Hi, Lukas."
"Have you eaten?"
"I''ve just ordered some food."
Lukas hummed in response on the other end of the line. "Have you found Alexander yet?"
Sophia''s hand that was holding the spoon froze, and a smile formed on her lips. "Yes. I saw him in
Lightspring, Moranta."
"Why hasn''t he returned to the country?"
"He lost his memories."
Lukas fell silent and didn''t probe further into the matter. After asking Sophia how she was doing, he
hung up the phone.
Sophia arched her brow while looking at her phone.
As expected from Lukas. He''s smart enough to guess everything just by looking at one photo! How
impressive!
At that point, Sophia''s foul mood had dissipated for good, and even the in food looked more
scrumptious to her.
Samuel, on the other hand, was so frustrated that he didn''t feel like eating anything. He did not expect
rumors about him courting Sophia to spread after they merely had a meal and went to an auction
together.
Argh! Do they think I''m crazy? How would I have the guts to court Alexander''s woman? First of all, she
would never fall in love with me, and second of all, I would never dare to do something like that! On top
of that, I''m perfectly aware of my own limits and know that there''s no way I can handle an extraordinary
woman like Sophia! Alexander might be the only man who ispatible with her.
He couldn''t help wondering whether those gossipers who imed he was trying to snatch Alexander''s
woman had a screw loose. Do they have nothing better to do? Why do they always like to talk behind
others'' backs?
Samuel was so furious that he skipped lunch and instructed his secretary to find the culprit behind the
tittle-tattle.
Since it was rare for Samuel to blow his top, his secretary dared not make a peep and quickly carried
out the order. It wasn''t difficult to identify the culprit in the digital era; one only needed to ask around in
the correct circle to get down to the root of the rumor. After all, the upper-ss circle was small with
only a few families involved.
Samuel''s secretary discovered the culprit in no time. It was none other than Cecily from the Young
family.
After finding out who the offender was, Samuel headed straight to the Young residence.
Meanwhile, Cecily had just received the bag worth more than three million from the auction the night
before and was admiring it when the butler informed them that a guest had arrived.
Cecily was unfazed while Bianca asked, "Who is it?"
"It''s Mr. Schild, Mrs. Young."
Bianca was surprised beyond words when she heard of Samuel''s arrival. She quickly tugged at her
daughter. "Stop looking at your bag! Mr. Schild is here. Come with me and meet him downstairs!"

Cecily pouted unwillingly. However, she relented and followed Bianca downstairs.
When they were halfway down the stairs, she remembered something and stopped in her tracks. Her
face paled as she subconsciously turned around to return to her room, but to her dismay, Samuel had
alreadye up the stairs. Immediately after spotting Cecily, he greeted her coldly, "Hi, Ms. Young. We
meet again! What did I do to offend you? Why did you spread rumors about Sophia and me?"
Bianca, who was overjoyed upon learning that Samuel hade to visit, was shocked to see the
man''s hostile expression. Her expression changed drastically when she heard his words, and she
asked in rm, "Is there a misunderstanding, Mr. Schild? Cecily has always been a good girl. She''s not
the type to talk behind others'' backs."
Naturally, Bianca was aware of her daughter''s true nature, but shecked the courage toe clean
before Samuel.
ying dumb wasn''t going to work on Samuel. He bluntly stated, "Apologize to the public and clear up
the rumors. Express your apologies to Sophia personally, too. Or else, serious consequences await
you. You better watch your mouth, for trouble wille your way!" He snorted coldly before storming
out of the Young residence.
