Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 461

In the meantime, Claudius, exited a restaurant in Lusterg to find Yasmin blocking her path.

Rose had already discussed with Yasmin's parents to announce the cancellation of Yasmin and Claudius' engagement this week. Claudius wasn't into Yasmin, but the same could not be said for Yasmin. The latter had been following Claudius around ever since he regained consciousness.

Yasmin, who was actively pursuing her doctorate degree, had plenty of time to win Claudius' heart. After all, it is always easier for women to pursue men. Yasmin believed that with time, Claudius would fall in love with her eventually.

That was her belief until Sophia showed up. Chanaea and Anglandur had a time difference of sixteen hours, so Yasmin received those photos at around five in the morning. Immediately after waking up, she flew all the way to Anglandur to look for Claudius, wanting to confront him.

However, Claudius was nearly impossible to find. Ever since the day that Rose claimed she would talk to Yasmin's parents about the annulment of Yasmin and Claudius' engagement, Claudius' two bodyguards stopped revealing any information about his whereabouts.

Yasmin spent more than six hours flying to Lightspring, only to find out that he was no longer there. Hence, she instantly flew back and headed straight for the hotel Claudius was staying at after she landed.

To her dismay, he didn't even spare her a glance as he walked straight toward his car.

Yasmin gritted her teeth. "Claudius, aren't you interested in the information I have about Sophia?"

Claudius had just gotten into his car when he heard Yasmin's question. The man merely peered at her, showing no intention of getting down from the car.

Noticing that Claudius was still giving her the cold shoulder, Yasmin panicked. "My friend snapped a few photos of Sophia on a date with another man in Chanaea. Are you sure you don't want to look at it?"

A frown marred Claudius' countenance. Only then did he alight from the car, walking toward Yasmin. "Hand over the photos." NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Yasmin flashed the photos smugly and gave them to Claudius, arching her brows in excitement as she said, "Claudius, I've already told you she is not a decent woman. She flirted with you in Lightspring and took advantage of her beauty to seduce you, but see for yourself! She has a boyfriend in Chanaea! My friend in Chanaea told me that the man in the photo wasn't even her boyfriend! He is her boyfriend's friend, and her boyfriend died in an accident half a year ago! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! I can't believe her! Oh my goodness, she is such a wicked woman! How can she hook up with her boyfriend's friend? Now do you still like her? Why did you cancel your engagement with me for an unscrupulous woman like her? Claudius, are you insane?"

Yasmin grew increasingly furious as she spoke, but just as she was about to elaborate further, she was interrupted by a ripping sound. Claudius tore the photos into pieces before throwing them to the bodyguards beside him. With that, he turned and got back into his car.

Yasmin was stunned by the man's reaction. She stared at Claudius in disbelief. "Claudius! What is wrong with you? Are you blind? Can't you see that Sophia was on a date with another man? Do you like her that much to turn a blind eye toward the truth?"

Just then, Claudius turned sideways to look at Yasmin, sneering. "You're right. I like her a lot."

Then, Claudius instructed his driver to drive off, leaving behind a cloud of exhaust gas and harsh words that cut deep into Yasmin's heart.

Yasmin stood rooted to the spot as Claudius' car disappeared into the darkness. She regained her senses after a while, trembling in anger. "Claudius, you b*stard!"

She cursed loudly in Chanaean, attracting the attention of many passersby who looked over curiously.

Stomping her foot lividly, she waved her hand to hail a taxi.

The incident went down without Sophia's knowledge. After ruthlessly setting Alistair up during the meeting earlier, she felt much better, and her mood improved significantly.

Lifting her head to check the time, she realized it was time for lunch. She massaged her temples before leaving her office for a meal at the company's cafeteria.

Lukas' call came in just as she sat down. Sophia peered at the caller ID before placing the bowl of soup on the table. "Hi, Lukas."

"Have you eaten?"

"I've just ordered some food."

Lukas hummed in response on the other end of the line. "Have you found Alexander yet?"

Sophia's hand that was holding the spoon froze, and a smile formed on her lips. "Yes. I saw him in Lightspring, Moranta."

"Why hasn't he returned to the country?"

"He lost his memories."

Lukas fell silent and didn't probe further into the matter. After asking Sophia how she was doing, he hung up the phone.

Sophia arched her brow while looking at her phone.

As expected from Lukas. He's smart enough to guess everything just by looking at one photo! How impressive!

At that point, Sophia's foul mood had dissipated for good, and even the plain food looked more scrumptious to her.

Samuel, on the other hand, was so frustrated that he didn't feel like eating anything. He did not expect rumors about him courting Sophia to spread after they merely had a meal and went to an auction together.

Argh! Do they think I'm crazy? How would I have the guts to court Alexander's woman? First of all, she would never fall in love with me, and second of all, I would never dare to do something like that! On top

of that, I'm perfectly aware of my own limits and know that there's no way I can handle an extraordinary woman like Sophia! Alexander might be the only man who is compatible with her.

He couldn't help wondering whether those gossipers who claimed he was trying to snatch Alexander's woman had a screw loose. Do they have nothing better to do? Why do they always like to talk behind others' backs?

Samuel was so furious that he skipped lunch and instructed his secretary to find the culprit behind the tittle-tattle.

Since it was rare for Samuel to blow his top, his secretary dared not make a peep and quickly carried out the order. It wasn't difficult to identify the culprit in the digital era; one only needed to ask around in the correct circle to get down to the root of the rumor. After all, the upper-class circle was small with only a few families involved.

Samuel's secretary discovered the culprit in no time. It was none other than Cecily from the Young family.

After finding out who the offender was, Samuel headed straight to the Young residence.

Meanwhile, Cecily had just received the bag worth more than three million from the auction the night before and was admiring it when the butler informed them that a guest had arrived.

Cecily was unfazed while Bianca asked, "Who is it?"

"It's Mr. Schild, Mrs. Young."

Bianca was surprised beyond words when she heard of Samuel's arrival. She quickly tugged at her daughter. "Stop looking at your bag! Mr. Schild is here. Come with me and meet him downstairs!"

Cecily pouted unwillingly. However, she relented and followed Bianca downstairs.

When they were halfway down the stairs, she remembered something and stopped in her tracks. Her face paled as she subconsciously turned around to return to her room, but to her dismay, Samuel had already come up the stairs. Immediately after spotting Cecily, he greeted her coldly, "Hi, Ms. Young. We meet again! What did I do to offend you? Why did you spread rumors about Sophia and me?"

Bianca, who was overjoyed upon learning that Samuel had come to visit, was shocked to see the man's hostile expression. Her expression changed drastically when she heard his words, and she asked in alarm, "Is there a misunderstanding, Mr. Schild? Cecily has always been a good girl. She's not the type to talk behind others' backs."

Naturally, Bianca was aware of her daughter's true nature, but she lacked the courage to come clean before Samuel.

Playing dumb wasn't going to work on Samuel. He bluntly stated, "Apologize to the public and clear up the rumors. Express your apologies to Sophia personally, too. Or else, serious consequences await you. You better watch your mouth, for trouble will come your way!" He snorted coldly before storming out of the Young residence.
