Chapter 490 You Need To Compensate

As soon as May was over, summer arrived at Jadeborough.

Ever since Katherine got pregnant, Jonice cleared the former's schedule, apart from the filming of some commercials and publicity projects.

Back then, Katherine badly wanted to get a six month break after working for six months. Now that she had all the time in the world, she spent most of it in Jadeborough having meals and shopping with Sophia every three to five days.

And ever since Percy was arrested, Sophia had fired all the employees he planted in Odyssey. Although the company had two major projects that year, Sophia let the deputy general manager and Felix handle them.

As for Sunshine Group, Sophia had basically delegated it to Yvonne, just like the time when Sophia was married to Alexander. Once in a while, she would visit the company to meet some clients or sign some

contracts.

Now that she had handed the reins over, Sophia was not as busy as before.

On the other hand, Claudius was swamped with work, but he said nothing much about it. All he told her was that Truce and Bruce had sued him and started to rope in the company's former employees.

It had barely been six months since Claudius started working at UI. Although Rose had done her best to pave the way for him before she died, there were still many who did not buy it. Truce and Bruce had been working in UI for more than a decade. On top of that, they were Rose's biological nephews and senior employees of UI. More importantly, they had a fair amount of the company's shares. There was no way Claudius could beat them.

It had not been a month since Rose's death, but both Truce and Bruce were already working together to deal with Claudius. That put the latter in a tough position.

Although Claudius did not divulge much information, Sophia experienced a similar situation in her management of Odyssey during Alexander's disappearance. She knew what he was going through, even if he did not say anything about it.

Moreover, it had only been slightly over six months since Rose acknowledged Claudius as her son. After that, Claudius was in a coma for close to three months when he got into an accident. Technically, he only joined UI less than two months after regaining consciousness. He was alone in both UI and Moranta.

In fact, his current situation was more complicated than Sophia's.

Thus, Sophia could only suppress her urge to see him and make a rational decision to stay in Jadeborough.

Sophia was exiting the airport when Katherine called.

Last week, Perrin's comrade passed away. Worried about his emotional state, Sophia traveled to Doveston to keep him company for a few days.

Seeing Katherine's name on the screen, Sophia answered the call while pulling her luggage behind her. "What's up?"

"Soph, you've landed, haven't you? I'm waiting for you in the parking lot. I came all the way here just for you. Aren't you touched?"

Sophia paused when she heard that. She instantly turned around and headed toward the parking lot. "Which one are you at?"

"Number four."

Sophia laughed. "Okay. Got it."

Hanging up, she made her way to parking lot number four with her luggage. Soon, she arrived at her destination.

Katherine fancied red cars. Since Joshua banned her from using the sports car for fear of it affecting her pregnancy, Katherine chose to drive the Audi RS7 that day. Sophia noticed it almost instantly. "Soph!"

The moment Sophia walked over, Katherine pulled the former into her embrace.

Katherine was almost five months into her pregnancy; her belly was already slightly visible. Sophia instinctively glanced at the former's belly, reminding her, "Be careful."

"Don't worry. He's a tough one." With that, Katherine patted her belly. "Right, son?"

Eyeing Katherine, Sophia asked, "Why are you here?"

Katherine raised her brow smugly. "I'm here to pick you up. Aren't you moved?"

Sophia could not help but chuckle. "Are you sure you're not using me as an excuse to sneak out?"

Katherine felt slightly guilty now that her intentions were exposed. "Don't say that. I'm here to pick you up."

With that, she went over to help Sophia with her luggage.

However, Sophia stopped her. "Give me the car keys."

There were times when Katherine obeyed her close friend's words, despite how famous she was. Although she was reluctant, she still placed the keys in Sophia's palm with a pout. Sophia wrapped her fingers around the keys and prompted, "Get in."

She then placed her luggage in the trunk, got into the driver's seat, and drove the car out of the parking lot.

When the car was finally on the airport expressway, Sophia checked the traffic ahead before asking, "What do you want to eat?"

Hearing that, Katherine announced the name of the restaurant she had sourced. "Okay. Why don't you get some rest first?" Sophia suggested.

Of course, there was no way Katherine could fall asleep. She gossiped with Sophia during the entire journey.

Twenty minutes later, the car exited the expressway and entered the town area.

Sophia slowed the car since there were many vehicles in town.

Coincidentally, the traffic lights had turned red. Just as Sophia stopped the car, Katherine suddenly called out, "Soph, look over there. Is that Megan?"

Following Katherine's gaze, Sophia noticed a rear-end car accident at the side of the road. The latter spotted Megan surrounded by three people as soon as she looked over. The trio did not seem like people who should be taken lightly.

Katherine, too, realized that as well. "They look like they're going to hit her. Should we call the police?"

Raising a brow, Sophia said, "Go ahead."

Just then, the light turned green. Sophia stepped on the accelerator and made a turn at the intersection.

Two minutes later, the car came to a stop by the side of the road.

Sophia unbuckled her seatbelt and glanced at Katherine. "Stay here. Don't leave the car."

"But I want to..."

Katherine's voice trailed off before she could say the words "watch the show." Sophia's gaze had chickened the former out.

"I'll stay."

Sophia put on a satisfied smile before getting out of the car and walking toward Megan.

"What's wrong, Ms. Queen?"

Megan was thinking of paying up to resolve the matter when she heard Sophia's voice. The former's face lit up with joy when she came to her senses. "Sophia!"

Sophia smiled in response. With a raised brow, she glanced at the trio of two men and a woman. "Tailgating?"

Megan nodded. "They were the ones who braked all of a sudden. I—"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're the one who knocked into us. Do you think you're special just because you drive a luxury car? I'm streaming this live. All the netizens are watching this!" Sophia simply swept her gaze past the woman and ignored her. She turned her attention to Megan instead, asking, "Are you sure they braked first?"

Nodding, Megan peered at the trio before whispering into Sophia's ears, "Casper has a project recently. I have a feeling they're..."

Megan was much different from the past. Casper had taught her enough to help her sense the trio was up to something.

Sophia understood it right away. She patted Megan's shoulder and assured her, "Don't worry."

She then turned to the trio, explaining, "There are surveillance cameras here. I'm sure we'll replace out who's at fault once we hand this matter over to the police. We'll compensate you if it's our fault. Likewise, you'll have to pay up if it's yours."
