Chapter 211 Should Become Her Man
Far away in Silverlight City, Olivia was equally frustrated.
She was furious after Sophia's words and wanted to call back, only to find that Sophia's phone was completely unreachable.
She angrily threw her phone aside, feeling like something was stuck in her chest, making it hard to breathe.
When she went downstairs and ran into Isabella, a strong sense of guilt suddenly welled up inside her.
Isabella came up to her and asked tentatively, "Mom, did you really call Sophia? What did she say?"
"What else could she say? She's just an ungrateful wretch who would even disown her own mother! Absolutely hateful!" Olivia was so angry her chest heaved violently.
Isabella's eyes flickered as she slowly moved closer, reaching out to gently pat her back. "Mom, don't get upset yet. Maybe... Sophia didn't mean it. She's just still angry."
"She's angry? After bullying you like this, she still has the nerve to be angry?" Olivia sneered, taking Isabella's hand, feeling a twinge of guilt. "Isabella, I'm sorry. Mom couldn't help you."
"Mom, I'm already so happy that you stood up for me, really!" Isabella blinked, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
Seeing this, Olivia felt even more heartbroken.
She pulled Isabella into her arms and comforted her gently, "Isabella, don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to help you. It's just that... Sophia is acting so tough now because the White family has her back. I really can't think of a good solution."
Isabella's eyes flickered as a crazy idea took root in her mind.
She nodded and chimed in, "Yes, the only reason Sophia can be so tough now is because she has the White family behind her, and Benjamin. If Benjamin wasn't backing her up, she definitely wouldn't dare to frame me again."
The only reason Sophia could be so confident was because she had Benjamin's favor!
Without Benjamin, she would be nothing!
A man like Benjamin, with such noble status, good looks, and wealth, should be her man!
As if Sophia deserved him!
"You're right! But Sophia and the White family's marriage was a business deal to begin with. If we ruin their relationship, will the Brown family be affected?" Olivia turned to look at Isabella, her eyes full of confusion.
"What if they fall out of love and can't be together in the end?" Isabella's eyes flashed with a gleam.
If their relationship broke down, no one else could be blamed, and the Brown family wouldn't be affected either.
Olivia didn't catch the meaning.
Seeing the confusion in Olivia's eyes, Isabella felt a flash of contempt.
Olivia was good in every way, except she wasn't very smart. With just a few words of manipulation, she could be played like a fiddle.
But that was fine. If Olivia were too smart, she wouldn't be able to do anything.
Isabella lowered her eyes to hide her expression, then straightened her clothes and appearance, and asked Olivia, "Mom, how do I look?"
Olivia paused, her expression instantly softening. "My daughter is of course the most beautiful."
Isabella felt a surge of pride and continued to press, "What about compared to Sophia?"
Olivia froze. Honestly speaking, Isabella's looks could only be considered plain, naturally nowhere near as refined and beautiful as Sophia, not even one percent as good.
But how could she bear to let Isabella be hurt?
So she bit her lip and praised somewhat guiltily, "Of course you're more beautiful. Otherwise, Zander wouldn't have given up Sophia for you back then."
Hearing Zander's name, Isabella's expression stiffened, a sharp pain shooting through her heart, but it was quickly replaced by pride.
She leaned close to Olivia and whispered in her ear, "Mom, what if Benjamin fell in love with me? Wouldn't he leave Sophia on his own?"
"But I heard Benjamin is cold by nature and keeps his distance from women..." Olivia frowned hesitantly.
Isabella was getting impatient with her questions, but still patiently explained, "If Sophia can do it, why can't I? Even if I can't win over Benjamin, we can still target Sophia, find her a man, and let Benjamin catch her cheating. I don't believe the White family would swallow that."
Olivia hesitated for a moment, then finally bit her lip and agreed to Isabella's suggestion.
Since Sophia was being heartless, they couldn't be blamed for being ruthless!
Getting Olivia's approval, Isabella smiled triumphantly where no one could see.
She stepped forward and hugged Olivia. "Mom, thank you so much. You're so good to me... Being your daughter is the greatest blessing of my life."
This time, she would definitely crush that bitch Sophia and keep her under her feet forever, so she could never rise again!
Hearing this, Olivia almost shed tears.
She hugged Isabella back, deeply moved. "Silly child, this is what a mother should do."
Benjamin and Sophia had no idea at this moment that someone was plotting to come between them and destroy their marriage.
Sophia completely forgot about Olivia's phone call.
The hospital called to say that a cardiac surgeon from another hospital in town had indeed paid the two elderly people to cause trouble at Starlight General Hospital.
That day, Sophia had immediately called the police.
Over the past few days, the police had thoroughly investigated the matter, and the doctor had been detained.
Earlier, someone had posted a video of the two elderly people causing trouble at the hospital online, which once again caused a huge stir on the internet.
Many uninformed netizens rushed to the Lumina Group's official page to hurl abuse, and the entire comment section became toxic.
The Lumina Group had been silent for several days without coming forward to clarify.
It wasn't until this evening that the police officially issued an announcement.
A single police announcement immediately silenced all the netizens. The situation reversed so quickly that many people were caught off guard.
Matthew also discovered that the reason this incident had spread so quickly online was partly due to manipulation by the Lumina Group's competitors.
Calling them competitors was actually a stretch - that pharmaceutical group couldn't compare to the Lumina Group at all in terms of scale, but it was a household name in the country.
Matthew acted swiftly and soon launched a counterattack.
Before long, a lot of dirt about that pharmaceutical group appeared online.
The materials used in their drug production didn't meet standards, certain drug components exceeded limits, and they even used cheaper medicinal materials as substitutes.
As a result, their drugs couldn't achieve the desired effects, yet were extremely expensive.
The internet immediately erupted with discussion.
Sophia scrolled through her phone for a while, then took advantage of Benjamin being in the shower to call her assistant Sean.
When she wasn't at StarVibe Entertainment, the company's business was basically all handled by Sean.
Sean answered quickly.
"Ms. Brown?"
Sophia cleared her throat and asked in a low voice, "Who was Cillian's previous agent?"
"Previous agent? That should be Vincent Woods." Sean thought for a moment before answering.
Vincent was considered a veteran employee of the company.
He had previously managed several A-list stars, but most of the artists under him remained in a lukewarm state.
