Chapter 30

Lawrence hummed as he walked out of William Clarence’s mansion. He nodded at Min who opened

the car door for him.

The plan was already in place, and all he could do now was wait for it to yield results. The mere

thought of the Lockhart Family becoming his soon lifted his mood.

“Director,” Min said as the car started. “Miss Sofia issued her own

statement on the company’s social media. This was not the one crafted by Mr. Thompson or any

member of our legal council.” He handed him the tablet, showing Sofia’s post.

“That woman…” Lawrence narrowed his eyes at the tablet. “Did she really think a simple post would

turn things around? Plagiarism and bullying are not simple accusations. Those things are taken

seriously in today’s society. Social media could make a claim like this erupt like a large volcano.”

He started reading the post and snorted.

“How foolish…”

“Dear LH Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing to address recent concerns. about the originality of my

designs. I’ve always had a passion for creating beautiful things, especially in the realm of fashion.

Firstly, I want to assure you that every design I’ve crafted at LH Designs has been a product of my

creativity and dedication. I take pride in my work, and I want to be transparent about my design

process.

I have the evidence to support the fact that these designs are entirely my own. From the initial sketches

to the final product, every step was taken with care and originality in mind. I understand the importance

of creativity and uniqueness in our industry, and I’m committed to

upholding those values.

I value the trust and support of the LH community, and I’m here to address any concerns or questions

you may have. I appreciate your understanding and look forward to continuing to bring you unique and

inspired designs.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Sofia Lockhart”

“Director, shall I call Miss Lockhart?” Min asked.

“Send her a text, telling her to please cooperate with the legal council. Tomorrow, the annual

shareholders‘ meeting will happen. Does that woman think she could change the opinion of the

shareholders just because of a single post? At this point, he already started doubting hist initial

assumption that someone was helping her in silence.

If someone was indeed supporting her, they would never tell her to post something like this, as it could

only drag her down and give her enemies. more chances to tear her apart.

The only thing she could do was leave it alone and slowly disappear from the sidelines. Soon, LH

Group would tell her to resign and temporarily leave the country. And Sofia would not have any other

choice but to listen to the shareholders. Why was she still struggling like this?

He closed his eyes, his lips lifted into a smile.

“Grandfather, are you certain you will work with that man?” a man approached William the moment

Lawrence left. He sat where Lawrence was sitting earlier. “Lawrence Miles Lockhart would bite anyone

have the Lockhart Family. We cannot trust him.

“Who told you that I trust him?” William snorted. “The fact that he gave me three percent of his shares

as advance payment is enough.”

“You-”

“If he truly thinks that he can fight against Eulanda, then he is wrong.”” William chuckled. “Eulanda is a

beast in a woman’s clothing. Her only weakness is that granddaughter of hers. I know that Lawrence

knew this and that is why he is trying to tighten his leash on Sofia Lockhart.”

“Then… what are you planning to do?” He poured his own tea and finished it before pouring another

one. Hiding while listening to his grandfather’s conversation with that man is exhausting.

The old man leaned back. “I, too, am very curious who is helping the little girl.”

“You really think that someone is helping her?”

“Have you read the reports, Andrew?” he asked.

Andrew nodded. “It was said that Sofia disappeared after that incident. We cannot find any information

about the driver of the car.”

“Then let us start with that. Ask someone to check all the records of cars. from Europe or Canada in the

past ten years.”

“You think it was smuggled?”

“Why else would you think we cannot find any records of the owner of the car?” he asked. After

thoroughly checking everything, they were able to find the name of the owner connected to a Swiss

company.

The owner and office of that company were based in Africa. The more they tried to trace it, the harder it

was for them.

This only means one thing. It was a ghost company.

So, the car was probably shipped inside the US using various illegal

means.

“Check the cameras all over Illinois. I refuse to believe that we cannot find that car soon.” William said.

Technology is an amazing thing. It would make anything easier.

“You think that whoever was driving that car is connected to the ones who reported that thing to the

FBI?” Andrew asked.

“Yes.” How could it be such a coincidence?

However, just as Andrew was about to get up, William’s butler approached them and handed a tablet to

William.

“Miss Lockhart posted a statement on her socials. She wanted to clarify the plagiarism issue yet she

did not address the bullying issue.”

“Tomorrow is going to be the annual shareholders‘ meeting yet she posted something?” William arched

his eyebrow. He expected her to stay quiet and listen to Lawrence yet it seems that she finally had the

courage to do something against Lawrence’s wishes. “Besides Lawrence did not start this war without

bullets. He is far from done.” Lawrence seemed confident that

he could take care of Sofia.

This meant that he still had a lot of things that he was planning to do. Isolating her from her

grandmother was the start.

The old man chuckled. Everything has become even more interesting. “Sofia Lockhart’s weakness is

her emotions. She was exactly like her mother, and that was the reason why Lawrence easily

manipulated them.”

“Grandfather, what do you want me to do?” Andrew asked.

“Do what you must,” William smiled. The game has just become more

Charlotte sneered when she read the statement that Sofia posted. She could not understand why that

woman suddenly thought she could live without Lawrence and her, but she knew this was all a facade.

Sofia is weak

and soft.

While she is a good designer, she grew up sheltered. She never had to take matters into her own

hands as she was used to people always solving her problems for her.

“Hey…” Daniel called out as he got out of the bathroom. The smell of his aftershave immediately made

Charlotte smile. “What are you reading?”

“What do you mean?”

“You are smiling on your own…” Daniel said. He was wearing nothing but a towel on his lower body,

showing his perfectly carved physique.

“I read something funny…” Charlotte said. “A meme…” She did not want to tell Daniel about Sofia’s

post as she did not want to affect their current mood. She immediately closed her phone and walked

towards him, a wine glass in her hand. “Want one?” She stood in front of Daniel, a coquettish

smile on her face.

“You know I do…” Daniel leaned closer and captured her lips. However, the long, hungry kiss that she

anticipated did not happen as he suddenly ended the kiss. “Sadly, I still have matters to attend to.”

“Matters like what? It’s nighttime. How could you work even at night?” she asked.

“Sofia refused to answer my calls.”

Charlotte immediately frowned. Sofia. It was that damn woman again.

“Come on… you don’t have to frown like that.” Daniel pulled her into his arms. “You knew why I wanted

to talk to her.”

“Can’t you just stay for the night?” she pouted and batted her eyes at him. “You have been talking

about her in the past few days, yet she has been. ignoring us. You always knew how she would just

ghost us if she wanted to. That woman is that indifferent.”

Daniel shook his head. “She is going through a lot right now. It is only right that I do my job.”

Charlotte snorted. Then she slowly pushed him away. “Fine. Then leave. Why are you even here when

you are going to find her? Did you think you could find her in my place?” she rolled her eyes. “Since

you want to be with her so much, why don’t you just propose and immediately marry her? Have kids,

live in the suburbs, and just leave me alone.”

“Charry…”

“Don’t-” Charlotte glared at him. “You should stop calling me that! Just go and find her since she is so

important in your life.”

“Come here…” Daniel said. He did not wait for her to say a word as he pulled her back into his arms

and kissed her hard and rough just as she wanted it.
