Chapter 111 Victor's Father Was Furious

"You're right. But I'm afraid that Terence will hold on to this. They must just take this opportunity to bully Victor..." However, Grace was still very worried. To be honest, her mood had not been good since afternoon. As long as she thought of the news and the situation she was about to face, she had a bad feeling.

There had been nothing going on between Grace and Karl, since the day they got married, and their marriage had been a success. Now she was praying that Sophia the unlucky girl could leave Victor earlier...

"By the way, Grace, have someone investigate Sophia. She isn't as simple as she looks. There must be some exaggeration in this news. It was a slander against Victor and Sophia. I think it's just a beginning... " The yummy food on the table couldn't arouse Karl's appetite. He thought for a while and then continued to speak to Grace, "find out the culprit. I'd like to see his ultimate goal!"

Karl's words reminded Grace. 'This news is just a beginning. They don't know what will happen next, ' she mused. Therefore, she must investigate it.

"You are right. I have thought about it carefully. If it's only about Sophia, their goal is not that terrible, but for Victor, Xiao family will certainly be put on the top of the line... " When Grace analyzed the current situation, she couldn't help shivering.

"Well, let's have dinner now. The dishes are getting cold!" Karl interrupted Grace's train of thoughts and urged her to have dinner.

Grace lost her appetite while muttering to herself. As far as she was concerned, Victor might be the one for their aim. She couldn't watch her son going into the abyss...

…… It was late at night. Although Sophia threw herself on the bed, she couldn't fall asleep for a long time. She looked at Victor in sound sleep and sighed.

"Why not sleep?" Unexpectedly, Victor's low voice rang in her ears, breaking the quiet of this night.

Sophia was surprised, "you haven't slept either, have you?" Slowly, she moved her body and rested her head on Victor's broad shoulder. It seemed that only in this way could her dangling heart relax.

At the same time, Victor stretched out his long arms and held her in his arms. He frowned and said, "you're getting thinner again..."

"Well... I was thinking about what happened earlier. I couldn't fall asleep... " Sophia pressed her cheek against his chest and took a deep breath, enjoying the unique mint tobacco scent from Victor next to her. Somehow, she had a feeling that this man was about to leave her.

"It's okay. I have known all the truth. I'll look into it." Victor understood that it was a big blow to Sophia. Having been at the top of the power, the tenderness in Victor's eyes had long gone, which prevented him from saying more words. But he would get a statement for Sophia with real action.

Sophia's voice became weaker and weaker. She said, "I don't care about this. I'm just afraid that you will leave me." Only she knew how much she cared about the people around her.

All of a sudden, Victor turned around and looked Sophia. The room was completely dark in the middle of the night. There was no light in it. The night vision of Victor was very good. He had already adapted to the darkness, so he could see Sophia's exquisite face. He reached out and held her small face. It was as small as a palm, but felt cold. It hit the defense in Victor's heart.

Victor tried to warm Sophia's body with his warm palm and said slowly, "I'm here."

"I'm here." the simple words gave Sophia power. She nodded heavily and covered his big hand with her little hand.

"Why is it cold again?" Victor wondered. 'How scared in the woman's heart?' Thinking of this, he suddenly got down on Sophia's body. Although Sophia could clearly feel the man on top of her, who was emitting a sexual aura.

Victor looked down at Sophia's delicate face. Her long eyelashes fluttered as if a small flame ignited Victor's heart. Her bright eyes sparkled like a lonely star in the dark night.

***Edward skipped the topic***

They had a tacit understanding. The whole room was shrouded in the darkness, with only ambiguous breathing sound...

"Have you heard that Sophia in our company is an illegitimate daughter and her life is promiscuous..."

Sophia took a cup and was about to make coffee in the tea room. When she just walked to the door, she heard someone talking about her. Two young staff whispered, fondling the teacup.

"Have you seen the video online? I was at the scene at that time. It was extremely explosive! " Another clerk said proudly.

Obviously, this small thing had become the focus of everyone's attention in the company. It didn't matter whether they knew Sophia or not, Sophia would always become a hot topic in their conversations.

When Sophia was about to enter the tea room as if nothing had happened, the two ladies changed the topic and talked about the president of the company, Victor.

They looked around to make sure that no one was around. "I heard something else," she whispered.

The other woman who acted like a three-year-old child stopped stirring up the hot coffee and asked curiously, "what?"

"Our president, Victor, may be removed!" The girl's voice was not too loud, but it happened to be heard by Sophia.

Sophia in the doorway was taken aback. Was it true? She wasn't interested in these gossip, but when it came to Victor, she couldn't move away.

"Don't talk nonsense. The president is so powerful. How could he be dismissed so easily?" Another clerk snorted and didn't believe what her colleague said. She turned on the tap and prepared to wash the cup.

Noticing that the other employee didn't believe her, she grabbed her hand and forced her to listen to her. "It's true! My uncle worked in our company and he told me personally. Victor's uncle never interfered with the business of the group, but he came to the company now and then. He said that just for observation, but actually he wanted to lay a solid foundation for his son living abroad. His son living abroad is the younger brother of our CEO. When he returns home, he will immediately enter the company to take over our CEO position!"

She was afraid that her colleagues might not believe her words. Her colleague was shocked by the news!

Having stayed outside for such a long time, Sophia suddenly felt down in her mood. The other night, Victor told her that his cousin was coming back to work. At that time, Sophia had an ominous premonition. Now it seemed that Victor's status was in jeopardy.

But why? Victor was so decisive that he had never failed in business! The higher status he was in, the more people he coveted. And Victor's uncle and his cousin who would return soon were among them. There must be someone who seized the opportunity to hit the headlines and do something against Victor...

Sophia felt a little guilty. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Her hand holding the glass tightly sweated. She had no interest in listening to the staff talking. She turned around and went back to Victor's office.

The atmosphere in Victor's office was depressed too.

With one hand holding the phone and the other rubbing his temples, Victor emanated a cold aura.

"What's wrong?" Looking at the anxious look on Victor's face, Sophia recalled what she had heard and asked worriedly. She walked up to the side of Victor and found a tiny scratch on the phone screen held by Victor. The scar was new, apparently. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Victor stared at the phone in his hand with sharp eyes. It seemed that he didn't hear what Sophia said. 'It seems familiar that Victor is really angry now! 'Wondered Sophia!

"By the way, didn't you say that you would go out to talk about a cooperation at ten o'clock? It was already ten fifteen..." Sophia looked at the hand on her wrist and reminded him.

Only then did the expression on Victor's face change a little. He waved his hand and said, "there's no need. It canceled."

Call off? Sophia didn't understand the real situation. Victor had paid much attention to it before, and they had discussed it the other day. In addition, with today's conversation, the cooperation could be almost settled. She saw on Victor's desk that the contract was ready. Sophia wanted to ask something, but a phone ring stopped her from asking.

On the other end of the line, Jay said, "Victor, we have found out the whole thing. It was Karl who forced the associated party to cancel all cooperation between our company and them!"

Upon hearing this, the expression on Victor's face darkened with fury. He clenched his fist, and blue veins stood out on his arms. This cooperation had been prepared by Victor for a long time, and if he took it, it would become the most profitable project in this quarter. At the same time, the profits from the cooperation would be used as a new working capital for other projects. But now, everything was screwed up by his father, Karl!

After thinking for a while, Victor picked up his phone and called Karl. The man on the other end of the line picked up the phone immediately, as if he was waiting for a call from Victor.
