Jeffrey added, âThink about it. Youâre married to Javier Beckett, you must be filthy rich. 200 million dollars. to you is nothing to you.
âAccording to my information, youâve accumulated at least 500 million dollars in your offshore account in Randerland, a stash from years of corruption in Beckett Groupâs projects.â
Sophia was reminded of the wealth she had painstakingly amassed over the years through abuse of power and bribery.
Her secret fortune could lead to a world of trouble if Jasper and Alyssa were to discover it. She might even have to serve a sentence unless Javier helped her. However, she didnât trust Javier anymore, âMadam, youâre not even 50 years old yet. Youâre sitting on a fortune. Donât you want to see your two daughters get married someday? Have you ever dreamed of meeting your grandchildren?
âYouâre a pampered woman. I doubt you would last a day in a harsh environment in prison.â
Jeffrey was clearly threatening her. Sophia gritted her teeth and came to a difficult decision âFine. Iâll transfer 200 million dollars to you in three days. In return, you should never show up in Solana City again!â
âThree days is too long. The police are on my tall. Jasper and Landonâs men are discreetly hunting me down. I wonât make it to see another three days, âI need to see the money by tomorrow evening. Madam, weâre partners. Letâs not end up in a lose lose situation.â
Rosie walked past Sophiaâs bedroom with Jasperâs new tailored suit in her hand. She heard the sounds of things crashing behind the closed door.
Frowning, she silently cursed, âWhatâs that crazy bitch up to again? Even if she marries the richest man in the world, she would still act the same!â
At that moment, Rosieâs phone started ringing with a call from Jasper. Hiding in a corner, she answered, Hello? Mr. Beckett, will you be home today?â
âMrs. Rosie, are Sophia and Betty at Seaview Manor?â Jasper asked patiently.
âYes, they are. I overheard them fighting as I passed their room. Iâm sure theyâve wrecked everything in Then, she added with concern, âDid something happen? You have been gone for days.â
After some thinking, Jasper decided not to tell Mrs. Rosie about Ninaâs death for now, fearing that Mrs.
Rosie would fall into shock. He requested, âMrs. Rosie, I need your assistance. Stay in the manor for a few days, closely monitor Sophiaâs movements, and let me know if she leaves. Donât take any other action.
âGot it, Mr. Beckett.â
âRemember, only observe. Sheâs evil and might harm you if provoked,â he cautioned in a hushed tone.
A shiver ran down Mrs. Rosieâs spine. She inquired, âMr. Beckett, whatâs going on? By the way, Nina has been missing for a few days, but she didnât inform the butler about taking time off. I couldnât reach her on the phone either. Did something happen to her?â
âIâll tell I Jasper reminded her. you about Nina at another time. Please do we had wou to Just as he was about to hang up, Sophia emerged from the room. Dressed in black, which was unlike her usual gaudy fashion, she sneaked out of the manor in the dead of the night. She resembled someone attending a funeral.
Mrs. Rosie jogged along, careful not to be spotted, and watched Sophia from a window. Sophia got into a car and left the grounds of the manor.
She quickly reported, âMr. Beckett, that bitch left home just now! Sheâs dressed in black from head to toe like a widow. She looks like sheâs up to no goodâ
After receiving Mrs. Rosieâs intel, Jasper immediately ordered Xavier to track down Sophia.
