Chapter 252 Sue as Soon as Possible
Benjamin's deep, cold eyes were exactly like those of a proud lone wolf. Anyone he set his sights on would be utterly destroyed.
He definitely didn't want to experience that again.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
Hayden glanced at it and saw Seraphine's name. Without thinking, he hung up directly.
He didn't need to guess - she must be calling to ask if he'd seen Benjamin and if there was any way to save Isabella.
He leaned back tiredly in the car, his head throbbing uncomfortably.
He couldn't figure out which part had gone wrong, or why things had come to this.
His family used to be harmonious, and Seraphine was gentle and considerate, never fighting for anything.
Suddenly, a flash of insight struck him, and he thought of someone: Sophia.
Yes, ever since she appeared, everything started to change.
Initially, when he found Sophia, he hadn't planned to bring her home.
But later, the company ran into some problems and he urgently needed money. He happened to hear that the White family was looking for a suitable girl to marry Benjamin.
So he got that idea.
But after bringing her home, Isabella complained countless times, saying she was afraid Sophia would take everything away from her.
Actually, he didn't have much feeling for Sophia either, so he just kept indulging Isabella.
But ever since that day when he suggested marrying Sophia off to Benjamin, she seemed like a different person, looking at him with cold eyes.
Not a trace of warmth.
After that, every time Isabella provoked her, it ended badly.
First, fans threw hot water and got detained, then the engagement party was canceled, and later... Isabella was completely blacklisted from the entertainment industry.
All of this was caused by Sophia.
Yet Sophia unexpectedly won the White family's favor and was pampered by Benjamin. Her status rose.
She was even exposed as the junior colleague of Matthew and Joshua from the Lumina Group, and even the head of the experimental team at Oasis University...
These identities - Sophia had never revealed any of them before.
She had been guarding against them all along!
Sophia really was an ungrateful wretch!
On the way back, Hayden suddenly had an absurd thought.
What if they hadn't cut ties with Sophia? Sophia used to be so soft and gentle - that kind of person was easiest to control.
If they hadn't cut ties, then the White family would be the Brown family's biggest backing.
Even the Lumina Group would help the Brown Group. Would the Brown Group need to worry about bankruptcy then?
And Joshua - he was said to be a very famous director in the industry. Isabella always complained about not being famous enough. If she could be the female lead in his movies, what would she need to worry about in terms of resources?
Just thinking about it was exciting.
Unfortunately, Sophia had ruined it all!
He rubbed his forehead, his eyes full of regret.
He shouldn't have listened to Isabella back then and cut ties with Sophia. Now look - not only did they get nothing, but they also brought trouble upon themselves.
Meanwhile, after Benjamin returned to his office, he immediately instructed Chase, "Go through all the evidence again and see if there's anything missing. Notify the lawyer to file the lawsuit as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Chase had been following Benjamin and, seeing his cold expression, immediately understood.
Benjamin was going to stand up for Sophia.
This time, without the Smith family's help, Isabella wouldn't get away with less than four or five years.
Soon, Isabella received the news.
"What? Benjamin insists on prosecuting? You must be lying to me, right? I don't believe it!"
Isabella stood up from her chair and shouted toward the door, "I want to see my lawyer, I want to see Tyrell. You must be lying to me..."
Seeing her constant shouting, the police immediately went in and restrained her. "Settle down. This is a police station, not a place for you to throw tantrums."
Isabella's face was pressed against the cold table surface, tears streaming out wildly.
Her emotions gradually calmed down, her previous panicked screaming slowly turning into quiet sobbing.
The officers slowly released her and let her sit properly again.
"I want to see Tyrell. Please, let me see Tyrell!"
Finally, the police called Tyrell.
When Tyrell learned that Isabella wanted to see him, his attitude was very cold. "I'm sorry, I only have one niece, and her name is Sophia, not Isabella. You might have the wrong person."
"Isabella asked us to contact you. Mr. Smith, you called the police station before, so we're very clear about your identity."
Tyrell was about to hang up directly, but hearing this, he explained, "I'm really sorry. I made a mistake before and identified the wrong person. I apologize for the trouble I caused you."
"Tyrell, it's me, Isabella... please help me. I don't want to stay here anymore." Isabella suddenly spoke up, her tone pitiful and tearful, evoking sympathy. Actually, she had never met Tyrell - she'd only heard Olivia mention him.
She'd heard the Smith family was very powerful in Harmony City. Since they'd gotten her out before, they could surely do it again this time.
Tyrell paused, then sneered. "Officer, if the evidence you have is all true, then I can't help her either. If she's really guilty, please punish her severely, or more people will be harmed."
With that, Tyrell immediately hung up.
The police sighed helplessly. "Isabella, we've called as you requested. Can you be quiet now? If you cause more trouble, we'll have to add another charge of obstructing official duties."
Isabella shrank back, not daring to breathe loudly.
After they left, tears streamed down her face.
She covered her face, crying uncontrollably.
Why was this happening? Why would Tyrell say such cruel things? Had Sophia been badmouthing her to him?
It must be that!
Tyrell must have been deceived by her!
No, she had to get out!
She waited inside for Olivia and Hayden to visit, wanting to ask if they had any solutions.
But for the next several days, no one came.
She had been confident that Hayden wouldn't abandon her, but the longer she waited, the more uncertain she became.
The current Hayden couldn't even take care of himself.
Because those videos and articles hadn't been suppressed - instead, they kept spreading and even made the front page headlines.
At first it was just public opinion fermenting, but Hayden immediately decided to use this attention to promote his company's products.
Free publicity - why not take it?
He immediately told Nico to create buzz, no matter the cost, to portray the company as a struggling but ethical business.
So within just a few days, the Brown Group sold more products than in the previous several months combined.
Hayden sat in his office, watching the constantly rising sales figures, and began to have other ideas.
