Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife by Brey Mitchylle

Chapter 88
“It seems that Lawrence still thinks that he has a chance to get out of this,” Sofia
said, smiling as she looked at the news.
It had already been a week since Lawrence was allowed bail. Court cases like
this took time, and that was a sad fact. However, the shareholders had already
asked for Lawrence to be replaced and for him to resign as the CEO of the
company.
The scandal had caused them to lose too much money. Currently, the stocks
were still going down, and everyone was waiting for LH GROUP to make their
move. Sofia’s gaze landed on Karina, who was sitting right across from her with
her coffee in hand.
Karina had been working too hard to build a case against Lawrence. Sofia had
been very grateful for her friend. “This donut is literally perfect,” Karina said as
she sliced her favorite chocolate-glazed donut. Next to the donut was a steaming
hot coffee-her fifth for the day. “And that man is going to rot in prison.”
Sofia did not answer. Instead, she took a sip of her coffee. She couldn't wait to
see everyone's reaction during the meeting later on.
“So, I heard something crazy,” Karina said. “I heard that some paparazzi have
spotted your sister on a flight back to the US.”
“You read the gossip tabloids?” Sofia asked, smiling.
“You don’t seem to be affected?” Karina fired back, smirking at her.
“Why would that affect me?” Sofia asked. Was she a celebrity?
“You have all the evidence that is enough to remove her from
Hollywood,” Karina said. She was talking about the video that she took in that
closet.
“And?”
“Why not just end her career?” Karina asked.
“Because it's not worth it,” Sofia said. The only reason why she didn’t unleash the
evidence was that Charlotte decided not to pursue the matter and simply left.
Meanwhile, Daniel was currently receiving some
treatment for his “mental health.’
“You are too generous.”

“I am not,” Sofia chuckled. She married Daniel's brother. At the end of the day,
her husband was more handsome, wealthier, and overall better in everything.
She was not someone who would continue delving into the past and let it
consume her.
All the things that happened made her realize that even giving them a small time
of her day was not worth it. Those two completely deserved each other. Why
would she stop them from having each other?
“What if they they realized that you married you know who?” Karina asked.
This time, Sofia laughed. She could not imagine how chaotic it would be.
“So, when are we doing dress shopping?” Karina asked while shoving another
slice of donut in her mouth. Seeing her friend enthusiastically eat in front of her
while wearing an all-white suit made Sofia want to laugh. As someone without a
sweet tooth, she wouldn't be able to understand her friend at all.
“Soon... once we announce it.” Actually, she was intending to wear the wedding
dresses that her mother designed. Her grandmother managed to keep the
dresses safe. So, she was very excited to check them out.
“And you are planning on announcing it?" Karina asked. “I mean... Hold on... are
you going to do it to save the company?”
Because of what Lawrence did, the company is currently in shambles. The
investors are currently doubting the heir of the company-Sofia Lockhart.
However, announcing her marriage to Alexander Beaumont would change
everything. This time, they would not only look at Sofia’s potential but also her
potential as someone related to the Beaumont Family.
Sofia smiled, not saying another word. Actually, doing something like this would
immediately solve the problem. The investors would see this as a cooperation
between the Beaumont and the Lockhart Family.
“No. You are not going to do that,” Karina said. “Il know you. You are stubborn.
You are probably going to prove to those people that you are capable. That you
can run the company. That you are the perfect heir.”
Again, Sofia did not answer. Instead, she looked outside the cafe, her mind
swirling with ideas.
Actually, her initial plan was to do what Karina said just now. Prove to the

shareholders that she was capable and that she should become the next CEO of
the company despite her young age. She wanted to look them in the eye and tell
them how they messed up by choosing Lawrence.
However, she does not intend to do that.
Sofia actually realized something after everything that happened to her, and that
was... she has money. She could live the rest of her life without worrying about
anything; her children can do that as well. So... why would she do something that
she was not so passionate about?
Why would she try to impress the people that she doesn’t actually like?
This was not some idealistic novel. This is reality.
She knew that right now, she was not prepared to take over the company. She
needed more time to train, to learn.
She was not arrogant enough to declare that she was some strong independent
woman and scheme her way into a company. She doesn’t want to risk the jobs of
thousands of people by mismanaging a conglomerate.
To some people, this might be considered a weakness, maybe even stupidity. But
Sofia doesn't care. She would only get to live once! Why do something that she
doesn't actually like?
For the first time in her life, Sofia finally made something that could change the
course of her future.
“By the way...” Karina's words were interrupted when her gaze landed on a
certain someone who just walked inside the cafe. “Hey- What are you-"
*SPLASH*
Sofia jolted upright, coffee splashing out of her mug and onto the pristine white
tablecloth.
“What the...?" Sofia sputtered, scrambling to grab a napkin and dab at the
spreading stain on her blouse.
Her gaze snapped towards the direction where the water came from. Her face
immediately turned ugly when she saw Charlotte standing there, a half-empty
glass of water dripping in her hand.
She didn't actually see Charlotte walk towards her!

away, and helped Sofia dry her clothes.

Sofia snorted. “Frame him?” She got up and stood in front of Charlotte.
Then...
*SLAP*
Aloud slapping sound echoed. The cafe fell silent. Even the clatter of spoons
against mugs seemed to stop as everyone stared, wide-eyed, at the unfolding
scene.
Sofia’s hand burned. Who would have thought that Charlotte's face was actually
so thick?
Charlotte stumbled back, a hand flying up to cradle her stinging cheek, eyes wide
with disbelief.

“You dare come in here and spout lies?” Sofia finally managed, her voice tight
with anger. “Your father brought this on himself, Charlotte. Don't try to pin it all on
me.”
“Lies?” Charlotte shrieked.

You know he loved LH GROUP just as much as he loved your mother!”
