Chapter 1037
"No way!" Jenna frowned deeply, exclaiming, "I can't stand it any longer!"
"That's exactly the point," Sophie replied, standing up. "I've heard that Adler is planning a surprise for you in the next few days, Jenna. Although Adler may come off as a carefree rich kid, he takes relationships very seriously. People like him can get hurt easily. If you reject him, he might never come close to you again. Think carefully about it."
With that, Sophie gave Jenna some space to mull things over and slowly retreated outside the bedroom.
Both were so close yet so far, with Adler being afraid of rejection, only daring to approach cautiously. And Jenna was equally afraid of awkwardness, always stepping back. After all, transitioning from childhood friends to lovers was a bit uncomfortable for anyone. She had to find a way to help them.
The next morning, the collaboration between Reeves International and Burke Enterprises dominated the headlines, especially since Elodie had already started taking over the affairs of Burke Enterprises. Inside the boardroom of Burke Enterprises, several shareholders were present, with Bea sitting at the head of the table. She glanced at the share transfer agreement Sophie pulled out of her pocket. Bea scoffed, saying, "Wouldn't it have been better to bring this out earlier? It would have saved today's embarrassment. I heard that S Corporation's stocks have plummeted recently, losing billions. Mrs. Costello, why bother?"
Sophie looked at the share transfer agreement in her hands, saying, "If you want to take this agreement back, you can, but have James come to see me."
A trace of disdain flashed through
Bea's eyes as she said, "James is no longer the CEO of Burke Enterprises. Even if you want to appear weak and pitiful in front of James, it's useless. You must return the shares of Burke Enterprises! His opposition is futile!" จis
At that moment, Elodie walked into the boardroom. She wore a sharp black pencil dress, carrying a silver handbag. Upon seeing Elodie, Bea's expression softened a bit, saying, "Elodie, come sit over here." Now, Elodie was just short of the shares in Sophie's hands from James to firmly sit in the CEO position of Burke Enterprises.
Elodie ignored Bea and instead looked towards Sophie, her expression slightly cold, saying, "Sophie, you've poached Aryan and all the other artists from Reeves International?"
She had only received the news that morning.
With a grand gesture, Sophie not only paid off their breach of contract fees but also poached all of them!
Elodie had thought Sophie would only poach Aryan, so she was unguarded. Unexpectedly, Sophie signed away all twenty-eight artists in a blink, along with the advertisers they were contracted with!

of contract fees but took away advertisers worth a total of three billion effectively sweeping away all the advertisers Reeves International had signed over the months.
Sophie smiled slightly, saying, "Don't worry, Ms. Elodie, I've already discussed it with those advertisers I'll take the people, and they won't chase after Reeves International for the breach of contract fees. We just have to endorse them for free for two years. It's a win-win deal, saving you a lot of trouble."
Elodie coldly said, "Sophie, this move of yours is quite ruthless, isn't it?"
