Mr. Chairman’s Devious Wife

Chapter 25

“The driver died,” the police informed Sofia as she sat in the living room. of the mansion. The incident still left her shaken, and hearing that the driver had actually died made her heart jump. Her hands started trembling.

Seeing this, Charlotte immediately grabbed Sofia’s hand, but she pushed Charlotte’s hand without having second thoughts. “Sig.” “How?” Sofia ignored Charlotte’s reaction.

“We are investigating this matter, but our initial findings suggest that he was already unconscious before he hit your car- in fact, the reason he hit your car might be because he lost consciousness.”

Sofia’s heart raced; her palms started sweating. For some reason, she could not believe that this was just an accident. The fact that the driver died means something else is going on here.

Sadly, she does not know what it is. “We will let you know once we come up with something,” the police said.

“Sister, you should stay here. | know you are too shaken up to drive,” Charlotte said. “I believe Father already asked the maids to prepare your

room.”

For a while, Sofia said nothing. She couldn’t help but think about the driver of that car. He was a man in his late forties or perhaps early fifties. He must have had a family, perhaps a wife, kids, and maybe even grandkids. She swallowed.

When she said nothing, Charlotte tried to speak. Again, she was trying to convince Sofia to stay. IN US 14:28

Logic would dictate that she stay in the house. Even if they had other cars, she was not confident that she could still drive in her current state. Without saying a word, she got up and started walking outside. “Where are you going?” Lawrence asked. He swiftly blocked her way. “If you think I will let you drive while you are in this state, then you are wrong. You need to stay, Sofia.”

Again, Sofia said nothing. Instead, she turned towards Lawrence, her gaze blank. “A car is already waiting for me outside.” Then she slowly pushed him away and left the mansion without saying another word.

The moment she got out of the mansion, she immediately saw the black Volvo waiting for her. She got into the Volvo, and the car immediately left. the mansion.

“Who is that?” Charlotte asked, frowning. She and her father could clearly see the Volvo from the mansion. However, it was tinted, and it was already late outside. They had no way of knowing who was driving the car.

Lawrence said nothing in response. He merely walked back to his office, his hands in his pockets.

“Father-”

“Go back to your room...” Lawrence said.

“But what about that car? Daniel is not in Illinois; his brother sent him to Vegas. That can’t be Daniel,” Charlotte said. However, her father did not answer her question. Instead, he looked at her. “Go back to your room...”

Charlotte immediately pouted. Disbelief flashed in her eyes before she stomped her feet and ran towards her room. Seeing this, Lawrence merely shook his head and started walking towards his study. The moment he walked in, he immediately spotted two people inside.

“| hope you do not mind me drinking your whiskey,” Dr. Mulach smiled. “A small sip of whiskey is nothing,” Lawrence smiled as he sat in his chair. “It is already so late at night. | am grateful that the good doctor would come at this hour.”

“How could | ignore my employer’s request?” Dr. Mulach asked. He then finished the whiskey in his glass and placed the glass on the table. “Is there something that | could assist you with?” he asked.

“The driver is dead,” Lawrence said. “I am going to assume that the police. would not be able to prove anything?”

“Of course,” Dr. Mulach smiled.

Lawrence nodded. He then took a thick envelope from one of his drawers and handed it to Dr. Mulach. “Reliable as always.” “lam going to take that as a compliment,” the Doctor beamed as he took the envelope and put it in his jacket pocket.

“You are not going to count it?”

“Do | need a reason to?”

“No,” Lawrence smiled. “However, | would like you to take care of something else.”

“Was it that woman?” Dr. Mulach asked. ‘Is it finally time?”

“Yes,” Lawrence said. “That time has finally come. As promised,” he took another envelope and pushed it towards the good doctor. “Double.”

“Good...” Again, Dr. Mulach took the money and placed it in his jacket. pocket. Seeing this, Lawrence smiled. He got up and poured both of them some wine.

“After this year, you will finally have the thing that you want the most,” Dr. Mulach said. “I would like to congratulate you in advance.”

Lawrence said nothing. He only gave the glass to the doctor before he finished his drink. The two of them said nothing as they sat inside Lawrence's study.

Meanwhile, Sofia finished the bottle of water that Alexander handed her the moment she arrived inside the car. She said nothing and took another bottle of water, chugging it down until she finally felt refreshed.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

She expected him to start asking questions about the incident. But he didn’t. Instead, he simply drove the car without saying another word. Sofia sighed. She was grateful for the silence, but she needed to speak to someone she could rely on. “The driver died,” she uttered. “I knew this was Lawrence’s plan.” She knew that man was scheming, but it seems that she still underestimated him.

“You believe he did this because he wanted you to stay in the mansion?” he asked, his eyes on the road. She did not know what he was currently thinking as his face was devoid of any expression.

Sofia thought about it. Right now, that was the only thing that she could come up with. “He wanted me isolated before my birthday,” she uttered. “This must have something to do with my grandmother.”

“She is coming back?” Alexander asked.

“From Europe... yes,” Sofia said. Sofia had grown apart from her grandmother because of her grandmother’s dislike of Lawrence and Charlotte. However, her grandmother never missed her birthday.

Now that she was about to receive her inheritance, her grandmother would surely come.

“That man is truly something...” Alexander said. This time, Sofia

maintained her silence. She had been blinded for so long. This gave Lawrence so much time to scheme and gather some allies.

Sofia bit her lower lip. This was no longer about her inheritance. If she wanted her mother or herself to live then... she needed to fight back.

“| have already sent my people to investigate that man,” Alexander assured her.

“Thank you.”

“Not yet,” he said.

“What?”

“You should not thank me yet.”

Sofia turned towards him and stared at his handsome side profile. She could not help but wonder what he was thinking. She then lifted her eyebrows. “What are you planning to do?” she asked.

However, her question never received an answer.
