Sophia angered Sidharth by running his Shehnaaz down.

The Lake Group had prepared to work with an international corporation on a project.

So, the whole company had been busy for an entire year, putting a lot of effort and money into it. It was only recently that the Lake Group decided on a cooperative relationship with that company. Now, it was only one final step away.

As long as the contract was signed, the Lake Group would attract a lot of capital from its peers. Once it succeeded, the group would reach another peak, and it would also bring billions of dollars in profits.

However, just as the Lake Group was immersed in joy, the corporation suddenly informed them that it did not intend to cooperate with the Lake Group.

This sudden change caught both Noah and his father, Keane Lake, off guard.

The Lake Group had borrowed a lot of money from the bank for this project. Without cooperation, the Lake Group might be short of funds and have not enough cash to meet the needs.

For a moment, Keane and Noah felt restless.

"Noah, you were the one who approached Wales Group. Why didn't you sign the contract? Wasn't the manager in Asia satisfied with our company?"

Keane was a big shot who had gone through a lot, but it was difficult for him to remain calm at this matter.

"I'm trying to figure it out. However, it seems that the head of Wales Group is avoiding me on purpose. I haven't been able to reach him yet."

Over the past few days, Noah had been so busy that he hadn't even slept well and was fretful.

"What exactly is going on? Wales Group has raised quickly in Europe these past few years. They have close cooperation with many large foreign consortia. Even if they have no intention to cooperate with us, it is impossible for such a large company with strong financial resources and backgrounds to avoid us. Did you make a mistake and offend them during the final contract negotiation?"

Keane was not a newbie in business, so he quickly noticed that something went wrong.

Noah frowned. After thinking for a while, he shook his head resolutely. "No. Dad, you know how much importance I attach to this project. I conducted myself well during the cooperation discussion with the man in charge. I didn't offend him at all."

"No matter what, it's better to solve it as soon as possible. If those old men in the company find out, they might cause trouble again."

Keane thought for a moment and still felt uneasy. He instructed Noah, "Just in case, we have to find another investor before Wales responds. The project is very important to the company. One more day means one more day of loss. If we don't work it out within a month, the Lake Group will suffer heavy losses and may even fall into a grave crisis."

At this point in time, Keane no longer dared to put all his hopes on Wales Group.

He was Clear that even if he really got another investment, he was afraid that the partner would take the opportunity to force down the price. After all, not every company could be as capable as Wales Group.

This would be a huge loss for the Lake Group.

However, now that they were in a dilemma, they had no other choice but to do so.

Noah was well aware of the seriousness of the matter, and his expression was solemn. However, he didn't know that the crisis was entirely caused by Sophia's malice.

As the main culprit, Sophia was busy restoring her image over the past two days and treating everyone to dinner.

Janet couldn't help but feel angry. She knew that her husband and son were working so hard for the company.

She glared at Sophia who didn't understand the overall situation and said, "Noah has been so busy these days for the company that he barely got time to eat. As his wife, it's fine if you don't care for him. But you still run out every day. Look at you! What have you done recently? Other than embarrassing the Lakes and causing trouble, what else have you done?
No matter what, we are a famous family. But you still go out every day. Since you are pregnant, you should rest at home. Don't keep disgracing the family. I feel ashamed even if you don't."

Janet's dissatisfaction with Sophia had clearly been suppressed to a certain extent. She could not bear it any longer and vented it out.

Sophia was annoyed by what she said, but in front of Janet who was powerful, she dared not to retort. She could only please her and say, "Mom, it's my fault that I ignored Noah. I will make it right. Don't be angry."

Janet snorted coldly. "That will be great. The company is in a crisis, and I don't expect your help. However, I won't allow you to let Noah stand up for you anymore. Compared to the company, your small matter is nothing."

"Yes, I know." Sophia bit her lower lip and nodded obediently, but she was extremely hateful in her heart.

While she was the so-called lady of the Gills Group, Sophia knew that Janet had always looked down on her.

Janet was a lady who valued a well-matched marriage. Back then, she accepted because Sophia was pregnant, Noah insisted on marrying her, and James would give Sophia 20% of the shares.

However, now that more than a month had passed, there was nothing.

Janet became angrier as she thought about it and saw Sophia as a bigger eye sore day by day.

She suddenly made up her mind. If Sophia could give birth to a boy, then she could be Mrs. Lake. If not, she might have to reconsider the engagement and find a suitable match for Noah!

Sophia didn't seem to know what Janet was thinking, but she knew that if she didn't get the 20% stake, the identity of the young lady of this wealthy family would be uncertain.

If she wanted to keep what she had now, she had to find a breakthrough.

A few days ago, she drove into Shehnaaz and was worried that Shehnaaz would come for her.

Unexpectedly, Shehnaaz didn't show up at all.

However, she failed last time. Shehnaaz must guard against her. It was impossible to attack her, and the only breakthrough was James.

Thinking of this, Sophia narrowed her eyes and a hint of ruthlessness flashed through her eyes.

That damned old man. Since he was so disrespectful, don't blame her for being ruthless!
