Sophia had intended to explain, but after hearing Jessica's words, she suddenly laughed. Fire her? This was exactly what she hoped for! Leaving Aadelha Group was something she had longed for. If it weren't for Victor pressuring her with that contract, she would have left long ago!
Now someone was willing to help her, it was simply wonderful!
"Yes, Mr. Hastings, I deliberately pushed her down, go ahead and fire me!" Sophia raised her neck and admitted directly.
Victor impatiently reprimanded, "Enough?"
"No. Fire me," Sophia eagerly said, her beautiful big eyes dazzling. She seemed completely unbothered by the impending loss of her job, even a little triumphant?
This woman was actually looking forward to leaving him?
Thinking about this, Victor became even more annoyed, to the point where he had no interest in dealing with Jessica anymore. He coldly said, "Drive."
There was no doubt that he was addressing Sophia with this statement!
Jessica stood still, her rosy lips slightly agape, and asked in surprise, "Victor? Are you leaving me here alone?"
"I have things to do, if you're not feeling well, you can go to the hospital yourself," Victor said without even looking at Jessica. He opened the car door and got in, urging Sophia to drive.
Sophia nodded quickly, turned her head and said to Jessica, "Please move aside, I wouldn't want to crash into you and not have money to compensate you."
Jessica's face turned pale. Although she was furious, she didn't dare to stand in front of the car, afraid of provoking Victor. However, she was unwilling to just let Sophia leave like this, so she could only suppress her anger and helplessly watched Sophia drive away.
"That bitch! What did she do to Victor? Why did Victor tolerate her like this?" Jessica couldn't understand, her anger tightening her fists. The humiliation she experienced at Carolyn's in the morning and being ignored at this moment drove her into a frenzy of jealousy, but there was nothing she could do!
Sophia really had a talent, being able to provoke her so soon after returning to Woerek.
She absolutely couldn't let Sophia continue to be arrogant.
Jessica dialed Zach's phone and made arrangements to meet him.
At the café, Zach relaxed, leaning back in his chair, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand. Seeing Jessica, a hint of disdain appeared on his handsome face as he asked, "Why are you looking for me?" His voice clearly carried animosity.
Jessica had someone investigate Zach, so she knew he had seen Sophia today. She said, "I want to make a deal with you."
"What? Do you think I would make a deal with someone like you?" Zach sneered at her. Jessica was the person he hated the most because he believed that she had something to do with Sophia's departure back then, but he couldn't find any evidence.
The enmity between them had been deep-rooted for a long time. If it wasn't for Jessica mentioning Sophia's name, Zach wouldn't have come at all.
Jessica directly stated her intentions, "I want to help you, to reconcile you with Sophia."
"Do you think I believe you?" Zach coldly laughed.
Jessica took a deep breath and said seriously, "You have to trust me."
"Why should I?" Zach retorted.
Jessica said, "Because only I can help you win back Sophia. You've been coming to Aadelha Group so many times recently, but almost every time Mr. Hastings blocked you. Do you know why? It's not because he wants to stop you, it's because Sophia doesn't want to see you."
Jessica paused and continued, "Sophia is a woman who craves wealth and luxury. A few years ago, for money, she was willing to be with Mr. Anderson. Now she works at Aadelha Group, and Victor is so outstanding. According to her restless nature, do you think she would willingly settle for being just a secretary?
"A person who can sell their body for money is bound to do even more crazy and depraved things for money. She very likely may seduce Victor. At that time, should you call her Sophia or Aunt Sophia?"
No one would be able to accept it if his former lover was with his uncle.
Moreover, Zach had waited six whole years for Sophia!
He absolutely couldn't let Sophia leave him!
Jessica's words struck at Zach's heart. He furrowed his brow tightly and said, "Sophia is not that kind of person."
"Who knows? At least six years ago she was like this, she even gave birth to an illegitimate child," Jessica played with the coffee spoon with a faint smile, stirring the coffee in the cup and creating ripples. The liquid was murky and dark, in her eyes, Sophia was as dirty as the coffee.
Zach pondered for a moment, under Jessica's interrogation, his confidence in Sophia was shaken.
Last time, Sophia said in front of him that she liked Victor.
Zach knew that couldn't be true, but then he thought to himself that Jessica might be right. This kind of thing had happened six years ago, when he didn't have the chance to stop it and missed Sophia. Now that Sophia had finally returned to him, he would definitely not give her the chance to leave again!
Zach put down his glass and said, "How do you want to collaborate with me?"
"Find Sophia's illegitimate child and give it to me," Jessica said, afraid that Zach would suspect something, and continued, "That's Mr. Anderson's son. Given Paul's personality, do you think he would let his mistress marry someone else with their child? Besides, the Carter family is a prestigious family in Woerek, and your parents wouldn't want you to marry a woman who has had a child, right?"
"You better respect her. Even if Sophia has had a child, she is a thousand times better than you," Zach disliked Jessica's tone and retorted sharply.
Jessica raised her hand in surrender, "Okay, I spoke out of line. I just wanted to tell you that as long as Liam is by Sophia's side, you will never be able to be with her. If you want to be with her, you must take care of Liam. I have been cooperating with Mr. Anderson for these years, and I think as long as you find Liam and hand him over to me, I will negotiate with Mr. Anderson, and he will easily let go of Sophia and bring Liam back to raise him."
"Without Liam, you can truly be with Sophia. Isn't that good?"
Jessica's vivid description touched Zach's heart. It was indeed his initial idea, but when Zach heard the name "Liam," his handsome face changed and his voice instantly turned cold. "You said... Sophia's son is named Liam?"
"Yes, didn't she tell you?" Jessica was surprised. If she remembered correctly, Zach should have met Sophia many times before, and their previous relationship was very good. So Sophia must have introduced Liam to Zach, right?
Jessica grew suspicious, "Don't tell me you haven't even met Liam?"
Zach did not speak.
Jessica sneered, "It seems like Sophia really doesn't care about her first love boyfriend. You've been going to her house almost every day, and she doesn't even let you take a look at her son. It seems like she must have deeply loved Mr. Anderson. If you don't cooperate with me anymore, you really won't have any hope of winning her over."
