Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife by Brey Mitchylle

Chapter 88

“It seems that Lawrence still thinks that he has a chance to get out of this,” Sofia said, smiling as she looked at the news.

It had already been a week since Lawrence was allowed bail. Court cases like this took time, and that was a sad fact. However, the shareholders had already asked for Lawrence to be replaced and for him to resign as the CEO of the company.

The scandal had caused them to lose too much money. Currently, the stocks were still going down, and everyone was waiting for LH GROUP to make their move. Sofia’s gaze landed on Karina, who was sitting right across from her with her coffee in hand.

Karina had been working too hard to build a case against Lawrence. Sofia had been very grateful for her friend. “This donut is literally perfect,” Karina said as she sliced her favorite chocolate-glazed donut. Next to the donut was a steaming hot coffee-her fifth for the day. “And that man is going to rot in prison.”

Sofia did not answer. Instead, she took a sip of her coffee. She couldn’t wait to see everyone’s reaction during the meeting later on.

“So, I heard something crazy,” Karina said. “I heard that some paparazzi have spotted your sister on a flight back to the US.”

“You read the gossip tabloids?” Sofia asked, smiling.

“You don’t seem to be affected?” Karina fired back, smirking at her.

“Why would that affect me?” Sofia asked. Was she a celebrity?

“You have all the evidence that is enough to remove her from

Hollywood,” Karina said. She was talking about the video that she took in that closet.

“And?”

“Why not just end her career?” Karina asked.

“Because it’s not worth it,” Sofia said. The only reason why she didn’t unleash the evidence was that Charlotte decided not to pursue the matter and simply left. Meanwhile, Daniel was currently receiving some

treatment for his ‘mental health.’

“You are too generous.”
