“…I-I beg your pardon…?” replied the startled Sophia.
“You know very well that the contract only happened because of Xavia. With that said, now that she no longer has anything to do with me, I don’t need to abide by it anymore. Also, don’t even try to bring up your mother’s death or our past business relationship. I’m pretty sure I’ve fulfilled any remaining obligations throughout our time together. With that said, our groups will now be separate, and we shouldn’t get involved anymore.”
“Even if you do tag along, there won’t be a place for you to join the project, so you may as well just remain in the country. If there comes a day when I need your help with a collaboration, I’ll be sure to contact you. Until then, however, we’ll part ways,” concluded Zivon as he headed downstairs with Wendy and Maison…
Now that she was all alone in the massive villa, Sophia couldn’t help but fall to the ground, devastated… Why… Why was all this happening…? Shouldn’t she be his rightful choice now that she had successfully driven Xavia away…?! Why was he pushing her away now?! This wasn’t the outcome she wanted at all…!
Unwilling to accept how things were going, the frantic woman quickly dialed the business partner’s number… and when the call was answered, she immediately said, “Hello? Mr. Mizzen? I heard that Young Master Burton is participating in a project in M Country, and since he often works with you there, would you mind if the Harrison Group collaborated as well? We’re willing to invest any amount of capital that you require, regardless of the interests or profit-sharing.”
“I apologize, but I’m not part of that project… It’s regarding the country’s image, you see, so the qualifications are far too strict for either of us to participate, Lady Harrison.”
Naturally, Sophia was distraught to hear that, and all she could do was hang up. Unsure what else to do, she ended up giving Jenna a call… and when the call connected, Sophia was prompted to say, “Jenna, I-”
“To think that you were even able to learn of Xavia’s children, President Harrison! With all the stir you’ve caused in the media, I really have to give this one to you,” interrupted Jenna, prompting Sophia to frown.
