Chapter 775: Chapter 778

Unexpectedly, the other party said distastefully, “King is directly sponsored and managed by Lucy Edwards, the Young Lady of the Edwards Family. We will provide you the best, so I believe you definitely would like to work with Miss Edwards. Otherwise, we know your name, address, and phone number. If you have any needs, we can also drop by and provide you with our services.”

Even though he sounded respectful, his words revealed a thinly veiled threat that sent chills down one’s spine.

They knew about her background, and they had a strong background themselves as well.

So if I don’t work with them, I’ll be offending the Edwards Family, and they would ‘pay me a visit’. Is that what they meant?

Even though the address was a fake one filled by Sarah, this doesn’t mean that I’m not angry about it.

Sophia snorted coldly and retorted with a local phrase she had just learned—“F*ck off!”

After she hung up, she was still quite furious about it.

Seems like I have to go to the office soon. After all, it’s my business.

Since I’m back now, I have to take care of my own business.

In the afternoon, Ivan came over.

Sophia had ordered a pair of collars for Judge’s babies that she adopted, and Ivan had come over earlier to take their measurements personally. At this moment, he was just sending the completed products personally.

Ivan’s nature attracted dogs; after he arrived, the pair of puppies surrounded him. With a gentle look on his face, he put the collars he had designed on the pair of them.

Then, Cooper held one of them in his arms. Sure enough, after they wore the collars, they looked very different. Unexpectedly, he was not disgusted by them anymore.

Stanley, who was well-dressed, also sneaked into the house after Ivan. Once he saw Cooper, he quickly pestered him.

“Uncle Cooper, please let me date Sophia again. I promise I’ll be serious this time!”

Cooper gave a three-worded reply. “In your dreams.”

Seeing that Cooper did not allow any second chances, Stanley pestered Sophia instead.

“My good Sophie, sweet Fifi, you must know that I’m the one you loved before—do you know that? Uncle Michael was the one who took you away from me. I couldn’t win against him after all… We had the same interests, and we loved each other. If you don’t believe me, I can show you this intimate picture of us!”Sophia was suspicious of Stanley’s words.

I fell in love with this guy, who looks like a husky?

Even Carmen didn’t believe him and tried to expose him. “Stanley, you are doomed! I already asked Nicholas to take a video! You’d better have some of your favorite food as your last dinner after you go back, because in two days, daddy will go over to deal with you!”

“Damn!”

Stanley was shocked to hear that.

Even though many years had passed, genuine fear rose within him when he recalled Michael’s punches.

He would only dare to use his sneaky ways to trick Sophia when Michael wasn’t paying attention.

When Michael returns, I’m sure I won’t be able to escape his punches!

In the past, Cooper really liked Stanley. After all, he had his own listed company when he was still very young, and he had a bright future ahead of him. Apart from that, he graduated from a famous university, and he was borned in a military family. Both their families were as good as relatives, so they knew each other well. Apart from that, Stanley’s age was close to Sophia’s, and he was also good-looking.

However, this fool wasted the golden opportunity himself. Seeing that he was still pestering Sophia, Cooper started to chase him away. “Go, go, go!”

As Stanley refused to leave, Sophia suddenly remembered something and said, “Stan, I want to go to the pet shop and your company.”

Stanley agreed immediately as he couldn’t have hoped for anything better. “Sure! I’ll drive you there and show you around!”

Cooper didn’t object to this as he felt it would be good for Stanley to take the trouble and also for Sophia to experience being cared for by another man. It would be better for her to have more experience so that Michael wouldn’t be her only option.

After Sophia put on a face mask, she got into Stanley’s car. He also brought his dog out to walk around.

In the black sports car, Stanley turned the volume up.

Deep, booming bass blasted throughout the entire journey, making Sophia slightly annoyed.

When they finally reached the base of their company, Sophia lifted her head and realized that it was a tall, huge building.

“Sofie, look—this is what I’ve built for you!”

Stanley wrapped his arms around Sophia’s shoulders as he announced proudly.

However, Sophia quietly pulled his hands away before saying in a slightly annoyed tone, “Please lead the way.”

Stanley removed his hands in disappointment and led the way while the dog walked in front of him.

There were quite a lot people in the office even though it was the weekend. Many departments were still working overtime. Plum Technology wasn’t just making online games now—they also had many other business streams, such as making websites, movies, and softwares. Right now, they were a listed company and had made a lot of money, growing into a strong presence in their field that couldn’t be ignored.

Sophia walked forward to take a look at the company culture wall that had the picture of them when they first started the company. In the picture, Sophia was still quite young, and she was very different compared to her current looks.

She looked quite comfortable in her black hair and irises. Sophia suddenly regretted having a blond hair transplant, and she planned to change her hair color some time later.

When she raised her head as she looked at the pictures and the timeline of the company on the wall, the gaze from her blue iris deepened. The attractive sparkle in her eyes mesmerized Stanley, who was standing beside her.

He thought, This is a chance given by gods. I must grab hold of it tightly!

Now that Michael is not here, I have to make use of this opportunity!

After they walked out of the company, it was almost time for lunch. Stanley rubbed his fingers together while saying, “Hehe… Sofie, where do you want to have lunch?”

After thinking about it, she replied, “I’m going to meet Sarah first.”

Unhappy about it, Stanley deliberately said, “Sarah might be out with Mr. Harry. I’m afraid it’s just the both of us today…”

“But I’ve already made plans with her via Messenger just now.”

With that, Sophia got into the car.

“Fine…” Stanley accompanied Sophia to her shop in disappointment.

The main branch of Pourl was right next to Sarah’s cat cafe. It had a good location with many other branded stores next to it, while the workstation was just upstairs. Sarah was pretty influential among the socialites of Bayside City. However, they had no idea why their business had always been second to King, which was opposite to them.

Sarah had already heard from Sophia about the incident yesterday.

When they arrived at the store, they saw that Sarah and Sean were there as well. The four of them finally sat together once again.

Back then, they were just four young students of Bayside University; now, all of them had had a great change in their current identities.

They sat in a corner of the cat cafe as they discussed what happened yesterday.

Sophia was the first to speak. “Who can access our customer’s information now?”

Sarah replied, “The customer’s information is all recorded in the computer system, and many people have access to them. The store owner, customer service, and sales and design department all have access.”

Right now, Sarah was mainly in charge of the pets business while Stanley and Sean were in charge of Plum Technology. However, if there were anything important, the three of them would gather and discuss. Now that Sophia had returned, the four of them were finally all present.

After listening to Sarah’s explanation, Sean said, “There are many people who have access to the customer’s data. It’s going to be difficult to find out who betrayed us.”

Sophia took a sip of her coffee, revealing a faint scar on half of her face. She still wore a mask when she went out, but she took it off when she was drinking the coffee.

She remained silent while the four of them tried to come up with ways to solve this. At this moment, there weren’t many customers in the cafe. They could only hear the cats’ lazy purrs.

Judge looked like he was walking in a market, looking around for the cats it liked. Once it spotted one, it would scoot closer to lick it affectionately.

Suddenly, Sophia put down her mug and said, “Since we can’t find them, let’s fire everyone.”

Fire everyone?
