Chapter 180 175: Quite Particular
The familial relationship between Pierce and Lydia had destined their tripartite collaboration, with Sophia being the one excluded from the inner circle.
Pierce had thought that taking over her share during her disappearance wouldn’t be too difficult, but Lydia never gave in to print.
She thought her chance was when she came back.
As a result…
Looking back, Sophia suddenly felt that Lydia might not have kept silent because of her.
What if Lydia had ideas of her own?
It was just that things weren’t settled with Pierce.
A subtle sense of alertness suddenly rose in Sophia’s heart.
She went to the project department, where the deputy minister, who had almost become the minister, warmly welcomed Sophia.

“Ms. Cruise, we welcomed your guidance in our work.”

Sophia chuckled, uttering a few inconsequential pleasantries before steering the conversation towards the main issue.
“Was the transfer procedure for the Codepath Tech project completed?”
The Deputy Minister was taken aback, shaking his head.
Before she could say anything, Frank had already rushed out ~f the office in a flurry.
He changed his clothes, presumably the office was well- prepared.
He glared at the deputy general manager before turning to Sophia with a beaming smile and said:
“I was ready, Ms. Cruise. I spent the whole morning either writing a self–criticism or having someone handle this matter. It’s done now.”
Sophia gave him an appreciative glance, raising an eyebrow.
There was a reason why Frank was able to sit in this position for so long.

Sophia walked in and sat down, Frank took out the materials and handed them over.
“Ms. Cruise, our paperwork here is in order, but the tripartite cooperation requires signatures from Lydia and Mr. Clement. I’m afraid that might be the difficult part.”
Sophia took a glance, the contract was fine.
She also knew where the real problem would be, and didn’t make things difficult for Frank, she just nodded and left.
Owen came.
Although he was not famous, nor had he ever been, he still kept himself tightly concealed, as if he was afraid of being recognized.
Sophia had Owen bring the person up, and Owen, holding a bunch of baby’s breath, casually placed it in the vase on her desk.
Sophia squinted, looking at him:
“You were quite particular.”

Owen stroked his chin:

“I couldn’t come empty–handed when you bought it with your money!”
Sophia wordlessly pursed her lips.
“Speak up, what are you here for, not enough money?”
She said, then went to get her bag, planning to take another card.
Owen, frightened, quickly covered her bag for her.
“Enough, enough, enough, rich lady, you are much richer than a rich lady!”
He directly took off his hat and mask, unbuttoned his shirt, and Sophia watched the wound on his face with a pounding heart.
“Were you hit by someone?”
She ran over and circled around him.
The little golden retriever also crawled out of its nest and started to spin around, sticking out its tongue and trying to jump onto Owen’s leg. Unfortunately, Lucky’s legs were too

Owen reached out and pulled Lucky up, roughly stroking his fur.
Lucky happily stuck out his tongue.
Owen lowered his gaze, pulled out a card from his pocket, and placed it on the table:
“Was–for you.”
Sophia took a glance, wasn’t this the card she gave him yesterday?
“Is it no longer needed?”
Owen sighed, gritting his teeth as he said:
I was so furious. Yesterday, at the entrance of the bar, Pierce called the police claiming I was drunk driving. My family took me home and gave me a beating
As a result, when I said I was borrowing money to terminate the contract, they beat me up again.
“I said I borrowed your money, and they beat me up again!”

He touched his sore back, grimacing in pain:
“I got beaten up three times in one night, I might as well have stayed in the detention center!”
Sophia winced, somewhat at a loss for words.
“So, did your family know about your contract termination?”
Owen reluctantly nodded his head, feeling wronged even when he thought about it now.
If it weren’t for Pierce, the Ayesa family would not have known at all.
He could have clearly resolved this matter quietly and then gone home.
Now the Ayesa family stepped in, although they had resolved the troubles in his circle for him.
But now he had become a negative example in the family, a living embodiment of a prodigal son, a good–for–nothing.
It pissed him off.

“Alright, with the Ayesa family stepping in, the entertainment industry naturally wouldn’t give you a hard time. You might even save on the termination fee.”
“You should just go back and focus on your work, your temperament is not suitable for acting!”
Master Owen had such a temper, he could ignite anywhere he
went.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have offended almost everyone in the entertainment industry.
He was not the type to nod and bow!
Owen’s eyebrows shot up, his handsome face tightly furrowed in displeasure:
“My temper was good enough, but I indeed planned to start over. I wanted to make those in the entertainment industry who looked down on me, call me ‘grandpa‘!”
Sophia: “……
Tsk, such a small goal.
He stayed here until noon, insisting on going out to eat with
him.

Sophia changed her clothes and went out.
Aylen waited outside, casting a smile at Owen and nodding before handing a USB drive to Sophia, whispering:
“Daniel was indeed dead, the bodyguards around Mr. Clement had witnessed it with their own eyes.”
This USB drive was found in room 602 at that time, unnoticed by anyone.
Daniel had owed a lot of usurious loans. Before he went on the cruise, his mother’s account had received a sum of money. However, not long after receiving the news of his death, his mother passed away.
Sophia casually put it into her bag and smiled as if nothing had happened.
“Continue the investigation.”
After Sophia finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something:
“There was a small project in the neighboring city’s company that seemed to match up with the Stapleton family. You had your subordinates contact the Stapleton family and give the project to them.”

“Don’t let anyone know.”
She smiled and then walked over to the somewhat impatient
Owen.
He grabbed her bag, casually holding it in his hand, and complained:
“Why did it take so long?”
Sophia shrugged, speaking naturally:
“Do you think money just falls from the sky for a wealthy woman like me, who is as beautiful as a flower and powerful?”
Owen gave her a strange and speechless look, finally laughed helplessly, put his hand on her shoulder, urging her to hurry up.
“Alright, alright, the rich lady is right, you’re paying for this meal!”
Sophia generously waved her hand:
“No problem, you could eat whatever you wanted!”
Owen really knew how to treat himself. He went straight to a high–end, expensive restaurant, the kind that the average person couldn’t afford to dine at.

And he happened to be
a member here, so he didn’t need to
make a reservation.
Sophia sat by the window, glanced down at the hustle and bustle beneath the thin mist, and clicked her tongue.
“You were quite good at choosing places.”
Owen sighed, shrugged, and shamelessly said:
“No choice, I was best at eating, drinking and having fun.”
The waiter came over, and Owen directly handed it to Sophia:
“Rich lady, you order.”
Sophia chose a few specialty dishes and then returned them.
She glanced at the time, “I’m going to the restroom.”
Owen coquettishly nodded:
“Alright, I’ll be waiting for you here!”
“Get out.”
