Become the Richest Woman After Divorce

Chapter 116

She looked pale and weak, having lost a considerable amount of weight.

“Sophia, I had something to discuss with you.”

Cheney glanced at Sophia, then at Annie, and suddenly understood something.

“Sorry, Ms. Cruise was very busy, every minute was precious. Please make an appointment in

advance, she didn’t talk to idlers!”

Annie turned pale at the idle chatter, bit her lower lip, and glared at Cheney.

“I just said a few words.”

Previously returned empty–handed from Ava.

The high society ladies who were circling around her instantly backed off.

Even the Clement family wouldn’t help, how would they bother to meddle?

The people in the circle were the best at changing their course with the wind.

She was an artist who had been pampered since childhood, playing the piano was merely a hobby to

elevate her status.

But now, she found that her hobby was of no help at all.

Her fame wasn’t big enough, her skills weren’t strong enough, the income she made from playing the

piano once in the theater wasn’t even enough to cover the pocket money she had spent on a bag

before.

Plummeted drastically.

Annie had no choice but to go to Sophia, although she was extremely reluctant.

Sophia glanced at the time, devoid of any excess emotion:

“I was in a hurry, maybe next time.”

She said, and then walked outside.

Cheney perceptively stepped forward, blocking Annie for her.

Annie’s face changed, she was somewhat angry.

Why did Sophia disregard herself like this?

She rudely pushed Cheney away in front of her.

Cheney stumbled forward a step, nearly colliding with Sophia, he turned his head, his eyes wide with

shock.

Sophia helped Cheney up.

She looked at Annie with an indifferent expression, then turned to Cheney and said:

“You got on the car first.”

Cheney was almost swearing out loud, even clenched his fist and swallowed it down.

He got on the car directly.

Forget it, for the sake of Ms. Cruise, I endured it!

Chapter 116: More Talk, Less Benefit

Sophia turned her head, speaking in an indifferent tone:

“Ms. Stapleton, I’ve heard a bit about your family situation, but I’m sorry, it’s impossible for our

collaboration to continue. I believe this is also the wish of you and your mother. What else is there to

say?”

Annie’s face was alternating between pale and green, looking extremely unwell.

But considering the current situation, it was almost impossible to keep going.

She took a deep breath, striving to keep herself calm.

She stood in front of Sophia, cold and noble, maintaining her own aura and dignity.

“The words spoken at the salon last time were not my mother’s true intentions. I don’t think Ms. Cruise

is so petty. Our two families have been cooperating for so long, it would be ridiculous to fall out over

such a trivial matter. It wouldn’t sound good if word got out!”

She looked at Sophia’s indifferent expression, her heart slightly chaotic, a hint of nervousness flashing

in her eyes.

“Ms. Cruise wouldn’t really be bothered by such a trivial matter, would she?”

Sophia looked at her with an indifferent smile, her tone cool and aloof:

‘Ms. Stapleton probably hasn’t understood the current situation yet. It’s useless for you to come here

and morally kidnap me. In the business world, only interests matter, regardless of whether it sounds

good or hot.”

Annie’s face gradually stiffened, her lips turning slightly pale.

She hadn’t expected Sophia to be so impervious to flattery.

She took a deep breath, “Ms. Cruise, just tell me, what exactly needs to be done to restore our

cooperation?”

Sophia tugged at the corner of her mouth, the decision to give up on the Stapleton family had been set

in stone a long time ago. This Annie was really naive, thinking that coming here and saying a few

words could turn things around?

Cheney in the car was getting a bit impatient, he pushed the door open and got out, urging:

“Ms. Cruise, we’re running out of time.“– Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Sophia glanced at the time, giving Annie a casual look:

“Ms. Stapleton, let your father handle the company matters. You are not qualified.”

She said, and left directly past her.

Annie’s composure finally gave way, her face rigid and extremely unsightly.

She couldn’t help but speak up from behind:

“Wasn’t it just because of my engagement to Pierce that you held a grudge against me?”

“Even if it wasn’t me, it could have been someone else, Sophia. You need to face reality!”

This was the only reason she could have ever beaten Sophia.

Simply because the Clement family chose her to be their daughter–in- law, instead of Sophia, she had

already won.

Sophia’s steps faltered slightly as she was about to get in the car.

She tilted her head slightly, her stunning eyebrows and eyes exquisitely indifferent. She hooked her

lower lip, carrying a hint of casualness.

“It should be you who needs to face reality. Would Ava let you in if the Stapleton family went bankrupt?”

There was a hint of teasing in her words. Seeing Annie’s face turn pale instantly, she couldn’t help but

shake her head.

Annie came here asking for help, yet still acting high and mighty.

She didn’t even consider that given the current situation of the Stapleton family, they simply couldn’t

withstand any more turmoil.

Once bankrupt, he even lost the qualification to enter the Clement family, yet he still arrogantly thought

he could infuriate Sophia?

Hehe…

Sophia bent over to get in the car, no longer paying attention to Annie outside. The driver immediately

started the car and left.

Cheney sneered from the side:

“Is this the woman your ex–husband was attracted to?“.

Sophia raised an eyebrow, gave him a glance, and said nothing.

Cheney, with an air of understanding, couldn’t help but speak:

“Who doesn’t know about your little affair? But I’ve always supported you. That woman just now can’t

compare to you at all. How blind must one be to choose her over you!”

Sophia sat at the back, her voice faint, devoid of any discernible emotion:

“It wouldn’t be too late to sweet talk when you got to Ms. Ayesa.”

Cheney: “……

Alright, it really was a sobering reality.

The president of SkyVista Enterprises, Lydia, was also a rather legendary figure in the business world.

She was just in her early thirties, yet she already held sway over half of the entertainment industry,

even shining in other fields.

People said that she had a big shot backing her up, but no one had ever really seen him.

Her business acumen was far more noticeable than her personal feelings.

Upon arriving at the reserved private room, Lydia had just arrived as well.

Sophia apologized first, Lydia, on the other hand, didn’t put on airs, she casually waved her hand with a

nonchalant smile.

She had a sharp decisiveness about her, an unignorable aura that she lidn’t intentionally hide, which

would double the pressure on the person negotiating with her.

However, Cheney’s presence eased the strangeness between the two und familiarized the

atmosphere.

After the pleasantries.

Sophia directly took out the letter of intent for cooperation. Lydia

looked at it for more than ten minutes before slowly closing it and began to speak:

“Actually, there were other companies competing with Eagle Entertainment at the moment, I couldn’t

make a decision immediately, I had to weigh it.”

Sophia didn’t seem surprised, she began with a smile:

“Of course, we also hope for a steady and cautious cooperation, but I believe the sincerity of Eagle

Entertainment is sufficient. You can come to me with any opinions at any time.”

Lydia nodded, and then the two of them made their excuses to leave. Sophia left.

Lydia withdrew her admiring gaze and stared blankly at the proposal.

He didn’t even know when the man came in.

The mature and steady man stood behind her for quite a while. He wasn’t angry even though he was

ignored, he just smiled:

“If you really wanted to cooperate, you would have just agreed. Why are you still hesitating?”

Lydia paused, looking at him with a slight raise of her eyebrows:

‘When did you come?”

‘My club, I knew as soon as you arrived.”

The man’s voice was warm, deep, and profound. He looked at her and miled:

How about that, I didn’t lie to you, did I? Sophia is my favorite niece,

Chapter 116: More Talk, Less Benefit

if she wasn’t so love–struck, her achievements would definitely surpass what they are now.”

Lydia nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly:

“Sophia indeed was a good kid, but the proposal from the Clement Group had been on my desk for a

long time. As for who to collaborate with, I needed to think about it.”

“Alright, you think about it, I won’t disturb you.”

“Edmund, you just returned to the country, aren’t you going to say. hello to Sophia and the others?”

Lydia looked at him.

Edmund Cruise paused, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, his eyes darkening.

“It wasn’t the time yet.‘

On the way back.

Sophia received an apology message from Mr. Stapleton, expressing egret for Annie’s abrupt offense

and hoping to apologize in person.

Sophia rubbed her brow and did not respond.

There was no room for negotiation in the matter of cooperation, further liscussion was pointless.
