Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife by Brey Mitchylle

Chapter 30
Lawrence hummed as he walked out of William Clarence’s mansion. He nodded
at Min who opened the car door for him.
The plan was already in place, and all he could do now was wait for it to yield
results. The mere thought of the Lockhart Family becoming his soon lifted his
mood.
“Director,” Min said as the car started. “Miss Sofia issued her own
statement on the company’s social media. This was not the one crafted by Mr.
Thompson or any member of our legal council.” He handed him the tablet,
showing Sofia’s post.
“That woman...” Lawrence narrowed his eyes at the tablet. “Did she really think a
simple post would turn things around? Plagiarism and bullying are not simple
accusations. Those things are taken seriously in today’s society. Social media
could make a claim like this erupt like a large volcano.”
He started reading the post and snorted.
“How foolish...”
“Dear LH Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to address recent concerns. about
the originality of my designs. I've always had a passion for creating beautiful
things, especially in the realm of fashion.
Firstly, I want to assure you that every design I've crafted at LH Designs has
been a product of my creativity and dedication. I take pride in my work, and I
want to be transparent about my design process.
I have the evidence to support the fact that these designs are entirely my own.
From the initial sketches to the final product, every step was taken with care and
originality in mind. I understand the importance of creativity and uniqueness in
our industry, and I'm committed to

upholding those values.

I value the trust and support of the LH community, and I'm here to address any
concerns or questions you may have. I appreciate your understanding and look
forward to continuing to bring you unique and inspired designs.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Sofia Lockhart”
“Director, shall I call Miss Lockhart?” Min asked.
“Send her a text, telling her to please cooperate with the legal council. Tomorrow,
the annual shareholders* meeting will happen. Does that woman think she could
change the opinion of the shareholders just because of a single post? At this
point, he already started doubting hist initial assumption that someone was
helping her in silence.
If someone was indeed supporting her, they would never tell her to post
something like this, as it could only drag her down and give her enemies. more
chances to tear her apart.
The only thing she could do was leave it alone and slowly disappear from the
sidelines. Soon, LH Group would tell her to resign and temporarily leave the
country. And Sofia would not have any other choice but to listen to the
shareholders. Why was she still struggling like this?
He closed his eyes, his lips lifted into a smile.
“Grandfather, are you certain you will work with that man?” a man approached
William the moment Lawrence left. He sat where Lawrence was sitting earlier.
“Lawrence Miles Lockhart would bite anyone just to

“Who told you that I trust him?” William snorted. “The fact that he gave me three
percent of his shares as advance payment is enough.”
“You

chuckled. “Eulanda is a beast in a woman's clothing. Her only weakness is that
granddaughter of hers. I know that Lawrence knew this and that is why he is
trying to tighten his leash on Sofia Lockhart.”
“Then... what are you planning to do?” He poured his own tea and finished it
before pouring another one. Hiding while listening to his grandfather's
conversation with that man is exhausting.
The old man leaned back. “I, too, am very curious who is helping the little girl.”
“You really think that someone is helping her?”
“Have you read the reports, Andrew?” he asked.
Andrew nodded. “It was said that Sofia disappeared after that incident. We
cannot find any information about the driver of the car.”
“Then let us start with that. Ask someone to check all the records of cars. from
Europe or Canada in the past ten years.”
“You think it was smuggled?”
“Why else would you think we cannot find any records of the owner of the car?”
he asked. After thoroughly checking everything, they were able to find the name
of the owner connected to a Swiss company.
The owner and office of that company were based in Africa. The more they tried
to trace it, the harder it was for them.

So, the car was probably shipped inside the US using various illegal
means.
“Check the cameras all over Illinois. I refuse to believe that we cannot find that
car soon.” William said. Technology is an amazing thing. It would make anything
easier.
“You think that whoever was driving that car is connected to the ones who
reported that thing to the FBI?” Andrew asked.
“Yes.” How could it be such a coincidence?
However, just as Andrew was about to get up, William's butler approached them
and handed a tablet to William.
“Miss Lockhart posted a statement on her socials. She wanted to clarify the
plagiarism issue yet she did not address the bullying issue.”
“Tomorrow is going to be the annual shareholders’ meeting yet she posted
something?” William arched his eyebrow. He expected her to stay quiet and
listen to Lawrence yet it seems that she finally had the courage to do something
against Lawrence's wishes. “Besides Lawrence did not start this war without
bullets. He is far from done.” Lawrence seemed confident that
he could take care of Sofia.
This meant that he still had a lot of things that he was planning to do. Isolating
her from her grandmother was the start.
The old man chuckled. Everything has become even more interesting. “Sofia
Lockhart's weakness is her emotions. She was exactly like her mother, and that
was the reason why Lawrence easily manipulated them.”
“Grandfather, what do you want me to do?” Andrew asked.
“Do what you must,” William smiled. The game has just become more

interesting.
Charlotte sneered when she read the statement that Sofia posted. She could not
understand why that woman suddenly thought she could live without Lawrence
and her, but she knew this was all a facade. Sofia is weak
and soft.
While she is a good designer, she grew up sheltered. She never had to take
matters into her own hands as she was used to people always solving her
problems for her.
“Hey...” Daniel called out as he got out of the bathroom. The smell of his
aftershave immediately made Charlotte smile. “What are you reading?”
“What do you mean?”
“You are smiling on your own...” Daniel said. He was wearing nothing but a towel
on his lower body, showing his perfectly carved physique.

“You know I do...” Daniel leaned closer and captured her lips. However, the long,
hungry kiss that she anticipated did not happen as he suddenly ended the kiss.
“Sadly, I still have matters to attend to.”
“Matters like what? It's nighttime. How could you work even at night?” she asked.
“Sofia refused to answer my calls.”
Charlotte immediately frowned. Sofia. It was that damn woman again.
“Come on... you don't have to frown like that.” Daniel pulled her into his arms.
“You knew why I wanted to talk to her.”
