The scene was strangely awkward.
The sparse applause gradually decreased. After all, no one really knew where Chloe Jones and Emily Brown grew up. All we knew was that James Jones, an ordinary man, married Arabella Montgomery , the pearl of the Montgomery family , and they had a daughter , Sophia Montgomery , who took her mother's surname. After Arabella Montgomery died, Chloe Jones and Emily Brown came in.
At the same time .
The current Emily Brown is James Jones ' first love girlfriend . Like James Jones , she grew up in a small city.
Everyone in the circle knows it tacitly, but never mentions it. Today, Sophia was in front of so many people. I don't know if it was intentional or not...
Jones's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He never thought that Sophia would not care about the Jones family's face. There are so many guests, and he personally invited them to the stage. He can't ask them to leave now.
He said in a cold voice, "What is the profit for a quarter?" At this point, he had to take the money from Sophia even if he had to risk it.
"Before I took over Montgomery Entertainment, it was always run by President Jones , right? You know the profit for a quarter." Sophia raised her eyebrows slightly, but didn't accept it.
Jones was impatient, " There are so many companies in the Montgomery Group. I don't have the heart to pay attention to the unpopular entertainment industry!"
Seeing that he finally admitted that the entertainment industry was unpopular,Sophia 's lips curled up with a triumphant smile.
Seeing this,Jones secretly felt that something was wrong.
"Really? I just sorted out the accounts these two days, and I will announce them when the time comes?" The girl blinked and said lightly.
"..."
Jones' pupils suddenly dilated.
Montgomery Entertainment has been in deficit for many years, and it is subsidized by other industries. It looks profitable to the outside world, but the accounts are all fake.
The false accounts were made public, and this woman wanted to punish him to death.
" Sophia !"
"This will make it more convincing! So that others will not say that I am defrauding donations!" She smiled gently and harmlessly, and the last two words were bitten hard, with silent provocation.
Jones clenched his fists and almost lost his balance.
It was Brown who supported him next to him, and his eyes were crazy, signaling the secretary to drive people away.
Sophia came down, and the banquet continued.
Some people discussed Chloe 's kindness and generosity, and some were shocked by the Jones family and the Rodriguez family's lavish spending, but no one doubted the truth of this matter.
After all, it was said in public. Both families are well-known figures in the U country , so they would not really defraud donations, right?
But immediately, everyone found something wrong: all devices were disconnected from the network, live broadcasts were paralyzed, and messages could not be sent out...
Sophia winked at the side, and Lucas nodded and walked out.
As soon as he left, two sturdy bodyguards came over, "Miss, Jones invites you to the study."
The tough posture did not sound like an invitation. Study on the second floor. As soon as
Sophia walked in, a teacup flew towards her. She subconsciously turned sideways, and the cup flew past her face and smashed into pieces on the door frame.
"You bastard! This is your sister's engagement party, and you can't bear to see her do well?" Jones was furious.
Sophia raised her hand and touched her stinging cheek lightly. Fortunately, it didn't break, and her cold expression eased a little, "Otherwise? Do you think I really came here to send blessings today?"
"You...!"
Jones pointed at her, his hands shaking with anger.
Chloe took his arm and tried to comfort him softly, "Dad, don't be angry! What my sister said was just an angry remark! She knows we just bought a new house and we have no spare money, so how could she let us pay for the 10 million!"
Jones's expression eased a little, "Forget it! A total of 20 million, transfer it to Chloe's account, and I will not pursue this matter anymore ."
"I don't have money." "Why were you pretending to have no money just now , and you even donated in public! So many media are here today, if you want to embarrass yourself, don't implicate the Jones family!"
"Don't scare the child!"
Brown pretended to protect him, "She was also impulsive and didn't think about the consequences! Sophia , you don't have to accept the gift from your sister, but you have to pay for what you said!"
"Yes, sister, you've made a big joke this time! The Jones family is a well-known family, and we must be cautious in our words and deeds! You have said it, and you must be responsible!"
