Chapter 400 Pocket Money For You

Anyway, Alexander emerged victorious from his battle with Dillon.

The incident regarding Tyler had blown up, and some people were smart enough to realize that Alexander was behind this.

Despite Dillon's best efforts, he was ultimately unsuccessful in his endeavors. Taking care of his sons' trouble took up all his energy, and he no longer had the strength to fight Alexander.

The turbulence that had plagued Odyssey for so long finally came to a close on the seventeenth of September.

Taking advantage of Alexander's financial resources, Sophia seized the opportunity to invest in Odyssey's stocks. This move altered the composition of the company's ownership.

During the last two months, Odyssey's stock prices kept fluctuating, causing some shareholders to become wary and sell off their shares.

Coincidentally, both of the shareholders decided to sell their shares to Sophia, or more precisely, Suny of Sunshine Group.

Sophia also invested heavily in Odyssey's stocks when they fell to the limit-down mark. As a result, she was now the proud owner of ten percent of Odyssey's shares, making her the fourth largest shareholder after two of Odyssey's elderly shareholders who had a long-standing relationship with Beau.

That was an unexpected gain.

The commotion had finally come to an end, so Sophia planned on transferring all her shares to Alexander. However, the wealthy and generous man told her to keep them for herself.

Sophia raised a brow. "What about the over ten billion from before?"

She had spent a lot of money, but there was still a lot left.

Alexander was busy preparing breakfast when Sophia said those words.

He carefully placed the delicious beef pies he had prepared onto a plate and then removed his apron.

When Alexander came outside with the plate, Sophia had already prepared oatmeal for both of them. After settling into his seat, he replied, "You can keep the money as your pocket money."

Sophia burst out giggling. "You want me to keep over five billion as my pocket money?"

"Can't I do that?"

"Of course you can," Sophia replied with a nod.

Although she was far from being destitute, it would be a lie if she claimed she didn't want to keep the five billion.

She added, "But I don't want your money."

Sophia had no intention of taking more than she deserved. "I'll transfer the shares to you when you're free."

"Keep the shares," Alexander said as he ate the oatmeal. "There is a new shareholders meeting tomorrow morning. You should come to Odyssey with me."

Sophia was stunned, which was rare for her. After regaining her composure, she couldn't help but marvel at how detailed Alexander's plan was. "Alexander, how can you be this shameless?"

By doing this, he was essentially indicating to everyone that he was in a relationship with Sophia.

Anyway, Alexander emerged victorious from his battle with Dillon.

"That wasn't my intention." He stared at her, his gaze brimming with affection. "This is just the beginning of what I prepared for you as our betrothal gifts."

Alexander had taken care of all the details in advance, ensuring that everything was in place for her to agree to their marriage.

However, the main reason why he was reluctant to ask for her hand in marriage was due to the Dawson family.

Sophia cocked a brow. "What did you prepare?"

"You'll replace out later."

Sophia gave him a look but didn't probe any further.

They had parted ways only two years prior, and it wasn't until approximately eight months ago that they began seeing each other again.

Hence, Sophia wasn't in a hurry to get married.

Besides, Perrin had yet to approve of their relationship.

Alexander knew that well, so that was why he didn't ask for her hand in marriage despite his strong desire to do so.

Sophia suddenly felt sorry for him.

Serves him right, though. Hmph!

Something else occurred to Sophia. "If I show up at Odyssey with you tomorrow, that means my identity as Suny will be exposed, right?"

"Don't you want that?"

Sophia shook her head. "It's not that. I'm just concerned that my identity will scare others."

It came as a shock to many when the divorcee of a wealthy family ended up reuniting with her ex-husband and, even more astonishingly, became the granddaughter of the respected Dawson family. The revelation that she was actually Suny from the Sunshine Group would have been absolutely astounding to many people.

"Great!" Alexander gazed at her. "That way, other men wouldn't dare to court you."

Sophia felt her cheeks heat up in embarrassment.

After Sophia attended a dinner, she realized Katherine had sent her a lot of texts.

The previous variety show, Going Forward, which she attended as Katherine's special guest, premiere airs tonight. For over a month, the show had been hyping up its grand debut, and the anticipation had been building ever since. Everyone was eagerly awaiting to view the show in the evening.

Katherine had been in the entertainment industry for many years, but she was still as excited as a beginner who had struck the lottery. "I'm so thrilled, Soph! I'm sure you're going to be a hit. Just think of those people who talked behind your back. They're going to be so upset. Do you remember Sharon? I can't wait for the premiere. I can't believe she had the gall to pick on you over the internet. What was she thinking?"

If Katherine hadn't mentioned Sharon, Sophia would've forgotten about her. Her lack of interest in the variety show she attended as Katherine's special guest was evident as she had always been in the limelight since young. She wouldn't have agreed if it wasn't for Katherine's desperate pleas.

Although she thought rather highly of herself, it was the truth.

If Sophia wanted to, she could have entered the entertainment industry long ago. However, she did not replace the industry appealing as it was a competitive environment, full of people who were often willing to do whatever it took to get ahead despite the low income. Even though she had the skills and determination to outwit them, Sophia chose to pursue other paths that would allow her to make money without the need to deal with the cutthroat nature of the industry.

Katherine's voice message was long, and Sophia chuckled after listening to it. She was too lazy to type her reply and sent a voice message: "Got it."

Katherine was at a loss for words as her enthusiasm was for nothing.

However, Katherine was right. After the premiere of Going Forward that night, Sophia immediately became famous.

Katherine had always maintained a stoic and mature persona in the entertainment industry, but that image was shattered when it was revealed that she had been using an alternate account to come to the defense of her friend, Sophia. Although Katherine had always presented herself as an unfeeling and aloof individual, everyone now knew that she was a naïve person who was simply trying to protect her friend.

After her true persona was revealed, she lost many fans and was insulted badly.

Nevertheless, following the premiere of Going Forward, many viewers were drawn to Katherine's naïve and lovable character.

One comment read: Ah! I finally know why Katherine looks icy but has a naïve personality. That's because Ms. Yarrow has protected her too well! Oh, I envy her for having a gorgeous and capable friend. I'd die to have such a friend!

Another read: Wow, Sophia is absolutely incredible! She emanates such self-assuredness that it's hard not to be drawn to her. I can't believe how those eyes of hers can look both mesmerizing and intimidating at the same time! When she saw the hint, I think she must have been thinking, "Is this even a question? The answer is obvious!" Sophia, please make your debut soon! I will be your most loyal fan!

The following comment read: Dream on. Katherine is Sophia's most loyal fan! I wasn't a fan of Katherine previously, but I am now her fan. I wonder if she can bring Sophia as a guest on shows more often.

One comment read: Wow! Please debut, Sophia. Kath is so adorable!

Another read: A smart and gorgeous lady versus a naïve award-winning actress? What a combination. I love them both!

Going Forward premiered at eight. At eight-thirty, Sophia and Katherine were already trending on Twitter.

Sophia had gone viral, and the netizens were pleading for her to make her debut.
