Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife by Brey Mitchylle

Chapter 22
“You wanted me to keep my mouth shut?” Sofia suddenly turned towards. him.
Then she smiled. “Father, do you really want them to ruin my reputation because
of unfounded accusations?” she asked.
“The lawyers will handle everything. I have already asked the IT department to
track the ones who made the accusations online,” Lawrence said. He had
expected this reaction from her.
“So, you simply wanted me not to say a word...” Sofia muttered.
“At the end of the day, everything is still up to you.”
“You are not giving me that many choices,” Sofia smiled.
Lawrence pursed his lips. Sofia was not dumb. She probably knew that she did
not have that many options. However, Lawrence was confident that she would
only choose the first option as she truly cared for Charlotte. Still, Lawrence
wanted her to choose the second option.
“However, that will affect how the shareholders view your name. With the Annual
shareholder's meeting happening in just a few days, it is too risky to let this issue
continue,” Lawrence spoke. Just as he expected, Sofia’s gaze
shook.
“I am not a public figure...” Sofia said.
“This issue will affect the clothes that you design. Soon enough, someone could
spark something and tell everyone else to boycott your clothes and the brand
itself; we cannot let that happen,” Lawrence said: “You can do what you want. I
am simply trying to tell you the possible outcome of your move.”
“If I say something, some people might start another rumor about my sister,”
Sofia frowned. “I know how hard Charlotte had worked for her
career. I cannot let a rumor ruin her.”
Lawrence was pleased to hear that answer. Either way, he can still release what
he has on her. However, it might not have the effect that he wanted. It was said
but... itis what it is.
The effect would still be the same.
“Very well... I am giving you the time to decide.” Lawrence said. “I will stand with
you no matter what.” Seeing Sofia’s teary eyes, Lawrence patted her shoulder
before he took his coat and left the office. He always knew that Sofia would be
soft against Charlotte, so Lawrence chose to use Charlotte for his schemes.
At first, Charlotte did not want to do it, but soon, she was convinced that
Lawrence was only doing this for her own good.
However, the moment he left the office, Sofia’s sad expression vanished. She
stared at the now—closed door for a few seconds before turning her attention
towards the people downstairs.
Right now, she was certain that Lawrence was waiting for her to issue a
statement, and say something about this matter. Then he would release the
plagiarism case against Sofia.
Lawrence was really creative with his plans so far and Sofia could not help but
applaud the man’s efforts.
If Sofia had been alone, she would have easily fallen into his traps, but she
wasn't. She balled her hands into two tight fists as she thought about the email
that Alexander just sent her. Slowly she turned towards her laptop and read the
email for the second time.
Attached to it was the same information that Karina was able to secure a few
days ago. It was about Doctor Mulach and his past stint in South East Asia.
However, this was more detailed; it included a lot of things that Karina had
missed, like sealed cases in Indonesia.
“Lawrence...” Sofia gritted her teeth. Lawrence had actually worked with a

murderer and asked this very same murderer to take care of her mother?
How could he be so heartless?
Sofia’s mother loved him. She — worshiped him!
Eunice Lockhart had given Lawrence everything that he could ever ask for, and
yet he would do something like this?
That man deserves to rot in the deepest part of hell!
“Miss, the Chairman has already left,” Miss Amores said.
Sofia turned her attention to her secretary. Alexander told her that Miss Amores
should be clean. However, she had asked Karina to do a thorough background
check. So far, Karina has not found anything that would tie Miss Amores to
Lawrence. The same cannot be said for the rest of Sofia’s
team.
Lawrence had a few people on his payroll. One of them is Mrs. Phelps, the
current Production Manager. Another one is working on HR. Her driver should be
one of those people, but she already fired him. From her initial investigation, Mrs.
Phelps had given some of her designs to Lawrence. Soon, these designs would
be used in the plagiarism issue.
To try and cover up her tracks, she would openly talk to Mr. Oh about production
among other things. She would then use this meeting as a way to prove her
innocence- after all, if she was a spy, then she would not openly talk to Mr. Oh
and try to hide her tracks.
Right now, Sofia was still trying to understand the reason why Mrs. Phelps
thought this would work. There should be another reason why she had been
openly talking to Mr. Oh sadly, Sofia does not have a way to read the woman's
mind.
Still, she was thankful that she was able to trace some leaks. This prompted her
to be very careful about her future designs and find out

who she could and could not trust.
“I am going to break up with Daniel...” Sofia said, her voice almost like a whisper.

Miss?” Miss Amores had a surprised
look on her face. It was as if half of
her was not expecting her to
suddenly open up about her love life
while the other half could not believe
what she just heard. Miss Amores

Sofia blinked. “No. Thank you. I only told you this because I don't want him in this
building.”
“I know what to do,” Miss Amores said. She nodded, her face bobbing up and
down as if she just thought of something important. Then she promptly excused
herself, leaving Sofia alone inside the room.
A sigh escaped Sofia’s lips.

If Miss Amores was indeed

Lawrence's spy, then... she could
expect a few phone calls from
Charlotte and maybe even from
Daniel very soon. At the moment,
those two wanted her to give her
shares to Daniel, and that would not
happen if she broke up with him. The

So, Sofia waited and waited but did
not receive a call from Daniel or from
Charlotte. Aside from a text from
Charlotte asking her if she wanted
her to clarify the issue and Daniel
asking her if she was alright, Sofia
did not receive anything else. The

However, this only made her more suspicious. The answer to her: confusion only
arrived hours later when she was enjoying a glass of wine at home.
