Chapter 267

Sophia’s face was lined with tears as she gazed sadly and lovingly at Javier.”I thought I’d

never see you again. I’ve suffered so much, Javier. I was so scared… 11

Javier did not feel an ounce of pity for her right now. He had undergone too much these

past few days to spend energy making her feel better.

Just then, the news channel came on the television. It was news of KS Group’s CEO, Jonah

Taylor, signing the Verdane Valley project joint venture with Orlander Hodgson and his

company. The two exchanged contracts, then shook hands as the reporters frantically took

pictures of this historical moment.

Jasper stared at the screen, hand slowly tightening around his glass. Javier’s face was

darkening at the same time.

Their milk was spilled, and it was all because of Alyssa Taylor!

Sophia’s heart skipped a beat, and then she quickly grabbed Javier’s arm.”Ms. Alyssa is

too cruel to us! How have we offended her? She not only stole our company’s project, but

she even tried to send me to jail!

“How can someone be so vindictive?When have we ever mistreated her during her three

years in our family? Even I treated her with utmost courtesy!”

Jasper did not like what Sophia was insinuating one bit.”By that, you mean making her

cook every meal for you?”

Sophia gritted her teeth. “None of us made her do it. Alyss a did that of her own volition!”

“Sophia,” Javier finally spoke up.”There’s something I need to tell you.”

Sophia turned to her husband as he

continued,”I’ve instructed everyone on the board. From now on, Jasper is the Vice

President of the board of directors.”

“What? Javier, what are you saying? Why…” Sophia paled instantly.

But Javier stayed silent.

Jasper narrowed his eyes, knowing his father wouldn’t continue, given his affection for her.

He felt differently, however.

“You know exactly why, Sophia.Appointing someone in upper management who’s under

suspicion for offenses like criminal br each of trust, bribery, and abuse of power as the

Vice President would only tarnish our reputation in the corporate world.”

“I was framed. Alyssa Taylor framed me!She used my cousin’s crimes against me!”Sophia

cried, standing up from her seat. She was quivering with anger by now.

She continued, “Henry was the one

behind those heinous deeds. He’s already taken responsibility for them, so my name is

clear now! Why can’t I be VP?”

Jasper sneered, ignoring her entirely as he left the lounge.

“Bastard, bastard, you fucking bastard!”Sophia yelled furiously in her mind.

She turned and held Javier’s arm. Crying, she said, “I’m innocent, Javier!I was framed! You

promised me that position. You promised me … How could you go back on your word?”

“I may be the president of the company’sboard, but that doesn’t mean I can single-

handedly decide everything. The company is listed, and we have shareholders and other

members of the board who have a say in this.

“How could you expect me to appoint youas VP?” Javier took a deep breath, then removed

his arm from Sophia’s grip.”Besides … Are you really as innocent as

you say?”

“You… You don’t believe me? Javier, I’myour wife!We’ve been married for 25 years. You

know me! How could you believe in those vile rumors?”Sophia cried, using a tearful tone

to hide the fear that was slowly swallowing her whole.

Javier frowned, staring at her solemnly for several second s before leaving the room.

Sophia was left gaping in shock, her entire being rigid as if struck by lightning.

That look from Javier meant that it was all over for her. Her golden goose had fled its cage.
