Chapter 43

Sophia felt a sinking sensation, as if she were being asked to betray her

grandfather.

Suddenly, Mrs. Lancaster interrupted sharply.

"Sophia, you need to ask that loser for the $100 million back. We need that money

to secure Lancaster's future with Kingston."

"$100 million?" Sophia's confusion deepened.

"Word is, you handed that nobody $100 million just for not sleeping with you!" Mrs. Lancaster sneered, her voice dripping with contempt.

All eyes in the room snapped to Sophia.

Lyra, her voice rising with fury, demanded, "You gave that loser $100 million?!"

"No!" Sophia quickly defended herself, knowing there had to be some mistake.

"He was just boasting again. I only gave him $100,000 for accommodation for not seeping here. Where would I even get $100 million?"

But Lyra wasn't buying it.

She snatched Sophia's phone aggressively. “Let's call him and demand the money back."

"But..." Sophia stammered, her voice shaky.

"No buts. You're divorcing him tonight! Why leave any money with him now?" Lyra hissed, already dialing and connecting the call to the large screen for everyone to

see.

She was determined to humiliate Alex-that pathetic fool who didn't know his place.

He didn't belong in their wealthy world, and they weren't going to be his easy targets for some get-rich-quick scheme!
