"The agreement exists..." but it's not like she's selling herself.

Sophie was too embarrassed to say more, so she quietly picked up the partnership agreement on the table.

It read, "Aldridge Global Contract."

"Do you really want me to sell myself?"

Gordon glanced at Sophie.

Realizing she had misspoken, Sophie quickly corrected herself, "I mean, you want to sign me?"

Gordon spoke indifferently, "That's the idea. It's clearly stated in the contract."

"Mr. Gordon, although I've considered making a debut, I..."

"You plan to debut with S Corporation but are not willing to join the Aldridge family?"

"Um, well..."

Sophie couldn't organize her thoughts for a moment. Technically, that was the idea.

Gordon said, "Don't forget the agreement I signed with you before. If the Russell family goes under, it will also affect the Aldridge family. Now I want to sign you, and it's something you should do." Sophie felt she had been tricked, utterly tricked.

Gordon had leveraged her unwillingness to owe others. What a cornering move!

Sophie put down the contract in her hand and said, "Alright, I agree."

After all, to outsiders, she was now nothing more than a bankrupt daughter of a fallen family, desperately in need of a respectable job.

Once S Corporation cut ties completely with the mess of Russell Enterprises, her position would also be terminated.

Aside from a very few who knew she was the power behind S Corporation, her public image was still that of the fallen heiress of the Russell family. Sophie said, "But I have one condition."

"Speak."

"You know I need to bring benefits to S Corporation."

"Alright."

Gordon agreed immediately, very straightforwardly.

Sophie even doubted his intentions. What was Gordon after? Was this because of her recent popularity online?

But if Gordon just wanted to make money, creating a celebrity wasn't a difficult task, so why did it have to be her?

Just as Sophie was about to voice her doubts, Gordon gestured to the butler behind him and then said indifferently, "Ms. Sophie, enjoy your meal. I have official business to attend to." The butler escorted Gordon away, cutting off her chance to continue questioning.

It didn't matter anyway, and she was used to it.

Sophie looked at the lavish lunch on the table. She had no appetite. She got up, left Gordon's mansion, and drove towards the Russell family.

The Russell family, now without Perry and his family, seemed particularly desolate.

Sophie walked in. The housekeeper had packed up the Perry family's belongings and asked, "Miss, what should we do with these?"

Sophie glanced over indifferently. "Store them in the warehouse."

"But..."

"From now on, this house shall not contain their belongings."

"Yes, Miss."

Sophie looked around the vast Russell family home and thought it was time to leave.

The news of the Russell family selling their mansion quickly went viral online, with some bored netizens posting photos, sparking public discussion.

[Can it be? Is the Russell family really bankrupt to the point of selling their house?]

[It's said the house is going for two hundred million! And it was bought immediately!] [Indeed, even in bankruptcy, the wealthy remain wealthy.]
