As soon as the words fell, the room fell into an eerie silence.
Chloe and Brown looked at each other and saw vigilance in each other's eyes.
Jones's face changed slightly, and he blurted out a question that raised everyone's doubts, "You just broke up, who are you marrying?"
Sophia 's heart sank to the bottom.
If I still had some illusions about this father just now, they are now completely shattered.
"So you also knew that I just broke up! I thought you didn't know that I was in a relationship, and that your little daughter was a home wrecker and meddled in other people's relationships!"
"…"
There was a hint of unnaturalness in Jones' eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
He accused her harshly, "We are all family, how can you say that about you, Chloe ."
Chloe was pleased to see her father standing by her side, but she had to pretend to be weak and sensible on the surface. "Dad, don't blame Sophia . William and I really did let her down. We didn't want to hurt her, so we didn't mention it. But she misunderstood. She deserved to hit and scold me."
Although she said so, her eyes were red and her delicate little face was full of grievance, which made Jones feel distressed.
Looking at her sensible and gentle younger daughter, and then at her rude and mean older daughter, she felt so disappointed, "If you were half as sensible as Jones , you wouldn't be unable to catch your man!"
"Dad, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I shouldn't have called Chloe a home wrecker. I should have given her my boyfriend, the house, and the shares left by mom."
Sophia imitated Chloe 's voice and spoke shyly.
Then, under the surprised or greedy gazes of the three people, his expression changed, " You are right to understand it this way. "
Jones realized he was being tricked, and his eyes were filled with anger. "You..."
"I'm sorry, but I'm not suited to this kind of temperament."
After she finished speaking, her patience ran out, and she raised her chin slightly to indicate the contract, "Sign it, and stop talking nonsense. I feel sick watching them here."
Jones stared at her, taking in her defiant attitude, then looked at the contract on the coffee table.
It took him a long time to suppress his anger and throw out a few words.
"Come with me to the study!"
Watching the two figures disappear at the stairs.
The tenderness in Brown's eyes disappeared, and he turned to look at Chloe anxiously, "Are you sure William and her broke up? Why would she get married suddenly?"
Chloe thought about what William said last night and became nervous. "I'll ask William right away !"
In the study.
Jones casually flipped through the marriage certificate and looked up at Sophia .
The girl leaned on the sofa with her eyelids drooping, playing with the water cup with her slender fingers. She no longer looked timid as she did three years ago, but instead exuded an arrogant and insolent attitude.
Jones knew about her relationship with William , and also knew that she had achieved something in the past three years.
But with Sophia 's willful, arrogant and domineering personality, this kind of person is the easiest to deal with .
He sighed softly, and acted like a helpless father, "Dad knows you feel wronged, and I know you've suffered a lot in the past three years! But the Montgomery family is such a big business, you can't joke about it..."
He kept talking a lot of nonsense, and it was obvious that he didn't want to give it.
Just when Sophia was about to interrupt impatiently, he finally got to the point, "I can hand over the Montgomery family 's entertainment company to you first, just as a training ground for you!"
"These companies are all profitable, and one of them is about to go public."
"If you can double the turnover by the end of the year, I will be relieved to hand over the Montgomery family to you! This will also make the top management of the Montgomery family convinced, right?"
He spoke beautifully, as if he was thinking about her.
Sophia's eyes were cold.
The entertainment industry is dominated by Entertainment Global , which is owned by the Windsor family . It occupies half of the market and is unshakable. In addition, Starlight Entertainment , which has emerged recently , has developed rapidly in the past three years and has a bright future.
The Montgomery family's entertainment business, which is the least popular, is in huge deficit, and they still have the nerve to say it's profitable?
Jones felt guilty when she looked at him. Just as he was about to say something, he heard her say, "Okay, sign the transfer contract. I want all decision-making power in the entertainment industry."
Jones saw that she agreed, a hint of sarcasm flashed across his eyes. He thought she was very capable.
But he had managed to trick her, and he was afraid that Sophia would go back on her word, so he quickly printed out the contract.
Twenty minutes later.
Chloe and Brown watched Sophia come down, still holding the contract in her hand, and walked straight out the door without even a glance at them.
Brown looked nervous. Could it be that she really succeeded?
When Jones came down, the mother and daughter hurried over to greet him, "Dad, did you really give the shares to my sister?"
Brown was also anxious, but she keenly noticed that Jones looked very happy, so she felt relieved.
"Hey, that book belongs to Sophia , so it's only right to give it to her."
" Everything in the Jones family belongs to Chloe and David ! I have done my best by giving her a few entertainment companies! If it were n't for the old man in the Montgomery family who is still alive, she would never get anything from me!"
Jones corrected her in a deep voice.
Hearing that it was only given to the least profitable entertainment company, Chloe and Brown looked at each other and felt relieved.
Chloe said in a sweet and coquettish voice, "Okay, don't be angry, Dad! William will be here soon, and we can have a happy dinner as a family!"
" Why is William coming here suddenly?" Jones was surprised.
William is the illegitimate son of the Rodriguez family . Cheng Hongwei had previously looked down on him and felt that he was not worthy of his precious daughter.
However, Starlight Entertainment , which William runs , has developed rapidly in recent years and is expected to catch up with Entertainment Global.
William 's status in the Rodriguez family also increased , which made Jones accept him.
"I just asked him if he knew about Sophia 's marriage."
At this point, Chloe's eyes lit up, "Dad, do you know who Sophia is married to?"
Jones was only thinking about getting Sophia to leave as soon as possible and didn't even look at the marriage certificate carefully.
Now that I think about it, I just remember that it seemed to be called Windsor ...
" Sophia has been wanting to return to the Montgomery family for years , and she even pestered William for this ! This sudden breakup, I'm worried that she's confused for a moment, just like she was three years ago!"
"How dare she! She is shameless but I am! Let someone check who she is marrying!"
"…"
Sophia sat in the driver's seat and threw the transfer contract on the passenger seat.
She didn't come here for the shares.
In order to take over the Montgomery family , Jones had designed to ruin her reputation and sent her abroad three years ago. Now that her grandfather was ill in bed and there was no one in the Montgomery family , how could he easily give her up?
But there is no need to rush. Let them be proud for a while. She will take back what belongs to her sooner or later.
As soon as I started the car, a cool Maybach rushed in from outside the gate.
The car door opened and a figure who looked like a human got out.
It's William .
The man stood in front of her car, his tall figure against the light, shrouded in a halo.
Sophia once thought that this handsome and sunny boy was a breath of fresh air in this dirty wealthy family. He didn't care about money or fame, and was willing to stay with her forever. . . . .
" Sophia ? Who are you marrying? You are pretending to be so noble and arrogant to disgust anyone! You hang out in nightclubs all year round, you are notorious and arrogant, which man would dare to marry you!"
