Chapter 432
Ricardo glanced at the TV showing news of a scandal involving th
e Burke family at the mall and said indifferently, “Don’t bother with
her
“Understood.”
Meanwhile, Sophie was in the car furiously working on her phone, making Adler, who saw her actions in the rearview mirror, ask, “Sophie, you’ve been busy since you got in the car. What are you working on?”
Im publishing an article.”
Sophie raised an eyebrow and said, “I need you guys to help me boost its visibility online.”
“What article?”
Jenna, always eager for some juicy news, immediately pulled out her phone. On Twitter, she found an anonymous post by Sophie detailing evidence of Reece’s car accident, directly implicating Nichole.
With nine pictures providing undeniable proof, the comment section was already buzzing with conspiracy theories.
Soon, people were drawing connections from Sophie’s post, concluding that Nichole had targeted Reece due to her rivalry with Sophie and wanted to cut off Sophie’s financial avenues.
Others pointed directly at the Cloude family, arguing that Ricardo’s deep affection for Nichole would make him capable of doing anything. This, combined with some business disputes, led to the conclusion that Ricardo was behind it.
In short, both Ricardo and Nichole were at the top of the suspect list.
Right as the buzz hit its peak, Sophie released an audio recording of Nichole hiring someone to cause the accident.
She had asked Tricia to find the person who tampered with Reece’s car days ago. Fortunately, that person had the foresight to record the arrangement, preserving the evidence.
Once all this was released online, it immediately caused a sensation
Adler couldn’t help but be amazed. “You’ve already squeezed five billion from them, and now you’re going after them publicly? Wow, who would dare to settle with you privately after this?”
“This wasn’t released in my name. What evidence is there that I did it?”
Adler sighed, “You must’ve learned this from Colby, right? Sophie, you pick up all the bad tricks! Colby is notoriously sneaky. You’re led
astray!”
Colby kicked the driver’s seat lightly and said indifferently, “Shut up and drive.”
Adler was put in his place, but he couldn’t really argue. After all, he had to save some face for his good friend. But more importantly, he couldn’t beat Colby.
Inside the Regent Hotel.
Adler led the way with a mysterious air while Jenna whispered to Sophie, “Let me tell you, no matter what you see later, you have to act very surprised.”
“Is this Adler’s doing?”
“Yeah.” Jenna whispered, “He loves a spectacle.”
“Im prepared.”
Sophie said so, but the moment Adler snapped his fingers, she was visibly shaken.
Suddenly, the prelude to the Wedding March started playing in the banquet hall, with two spotlights focusing on her and Colby.
Sophie couldn’t manage a smile, not even a semblance of one. She had a rigid smile plastered on her face for what felt like ages.
They were mel with a path lined with flowers and a floral arch, creating the setting of a wedding ceremony despite there being no one
around.
Jenna, forcing a smile, clapped and said, “Sophie! Happy Birthday!”
“Happy Birthday.”
