After listening to Fanny’s story, Sophia felt like she was hearing a fantasy tale. The Henley’s Corp, which was once a thriving company, had been sold by the conniving duo of Bruno and Fanny.
It took Sophia a moment to find her voice before she yelled out, “Get out!”
Fanny sneered at her and said, “Sophia, your arrogance won’t last long. I advise you not to be late for tomorrow’s family meeting. And you better have the guts to show up.”
With that said, Fanny walked away with an air of superiority.
Once Fanny left, Rylee looked at Sophia with concern and asked hesitantly, “Sophia, are you sure about going to the family meeting tomorrow?”
Without hesitation, Sophia replied, “Some things can’t be avoided, and this is one of them. I have no choice but to go.”
“Sophia, you need to think twice about this. It’s obviously a trap. You might not come back alive.” Rylee warned.
“Even if it is death, I will still go! I cannot sit idly by while Bruno and Fanny run rampant!” Sophia gritted her teeth in determination.
Knowing that Sophia had made up her mind, Rylee nodded firmly, “I’ll go with you.”
“No need. I’ll take care of company matters when I’m in Huntstone. You don’t have to worry about me.” Sophia reassured Rylee, knowing how stubborn she could be.
In Huntstone, in the Henley family mansion, the members were gathering in the conference room with only ten minutes left until the start time.
“What are we discussing today?”
“What else? We’re talking about how much bonus each subsidiary will get after McGuire Group acquired us.”
“I think we should also discuss how we’re going split up Sophia Cosmetics.”
“After today, Sophia won’t be able control anything related to Sophia Cosmetics anymore!” Bruno announced as he swaggered into the conference room. He believed that selling the Henley’s Corp was his greatest achievement yet. McGuire Group didn’t just inject huge capital into the Henley’s Corp, but also promised not change its original organizational structure. In other words, Bruno would remain as chairman of the Henley’s Corp, and head of the Henley family.
Fanny had become the Vice Chairman of Henley’s Corp and was also appointed by Bruno to manage Sophia Cosmetics. Bruno walked into the conference room and sat down in the main seat, with Fanny sitting next to him.
“Bruno, do you think that bitch Sophia will come?” Despite wearing a thick layer of foundation on her face, Fanny couldn’t hide the marks left from being beaten up.
Fanny had already made up her mind that if Sophia dared to come, she would torture her at the family meeting as revenge for what she did.
Bruno coldly snorted and confidently said, “Since you’ve already notified her, she will definitely come.”
“She better come. Today I’m going to make sure she knows what happens when she messes with me.” Fanny gritted her teeth in anger.
Bruno knew about Fanny getting beaten up and frowned as he asked again, “When you went to Sophia Cosmetics that day, was it really Bob who helped Sophia?”
“It was Bob!” Fearing his gaze, Fanny nodded.
“That’s strange. Leo and Sophia are divorced now. Why would Bob voluntarily help Sophia?” Bruno pondered aloud.
“It’s probably because that bitch is lonely after divorcing Leo and found comfort in Bob’s arms,” speculated Fanny with disgust.
“The situation you mentioned is not impossible… After all, in Langstel, many people still crave Sophia’s body,” he said.
Three minutes before the meeting started, Sophia appeared at the entrance of the conference room.
She came alone.
When the Henley family members saw her, they once again erupted in a frenzy, hurling all kinds of offensive words without restraint.
Sophia had long grown indifferent to the ugly faces of the Henley family members. Instead of engaging in pointless arguments with them, she chose to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear.
Upon seeing Sophia enter the conference room, Fanny suddenly stood up and rushed towards her like a wild dog, pointing at Sophia and sneering, “Tsk tsk, Sophia, I never expected you’d have the audacity to attend the family meeting. You truly impress me.”
“Fanny, if you have the nerve to come, why can’t I?” Sophia retorted sarcastically.
“Sophia, you…!”
Enraged, Fanny raised her hand and slapped Sophia.
“Smack!”
The crisp sound of the slap reverberated through the noisy conference room, bringing an eerie silence to the atmosphere.
Everyone believed that Fanny had indeed slapped Sophia across the face.
However, the reality was that Sophia had landed a slap on Fanny’s already bruised face.
“Fanny, I am your elder sister. Show some respect in front of me!” Sophia’s authority as an elder and her demeanor as a female CEO burst forth.
The Henley family members were stunned by this unprecedented sight of Sophia, their jaws dropping in astonishment.
Even Bruno was dumbfounded.
Fanny stood there dumbfounded for three seconds before regaining her senses. She almost exploded on the spot, roaring, “Sophia, you dare lay a hand on me? You’re finished!”
“All of you outside, come in and teach this arrogant wretch a lesson!”
As soon as Fanny finished speaking, several shirtless thugs stormed into the conference room, surrounding Sophia.
Sophia remained undaunted, standing resolutely and facing these thugs coldly.
Bruno naturally made no attempt to stop them. He enjoyed watching the show, especially when Sophia was the protagonist.
Fanny retreated to Bruno’s side, her face filled with malice, and said in a low voice, “Bruno, I will make sure to deal with Sophia properly today.”
“Fanny, my dear sister, I never expected you to have hired thugs waiting outside the conference room. Impressive,” Bruno raised his thumb and gave Fanny a thumbs-up.
Sophia was ultimately a woman without martial arts skills and was soon caught by one of the thugs.
Just as the thug was about to punch Sophia in the face, a sudden scream filled the air, and he was sent flying.
The other thugs were also knocked back as if struck by an invisible hammer. Upon landing, they let out wailing cries that resembled pigs being slaughtered.
What was happening now?
Everyone was once again shocked and bewildered.
Sophia, as the person involved, had no idea what was going on, but suddenly a person came to mind-Leo!
However, she quickly realized that the person who appeared was not Leo, but a sickly old man.
Behind the old man was a beautiful woman.
… Amaya!?
