Chapter 401
When Persika heard the price, she got so frightened that she nearly fainted. It took a few minutes for it to finally sink in. Even if she went up the mountain and picked herbs for a month, she could only sell them for a little more than hundred dollars. One thousand dollars was her income for a year.
She only left after she thanked Mindy again.
Mindy looked at her people with a sneer.
She had asked her subordinates to feed Sophia some drugs that would increase her libido. It would take a few men to satisfy her. Since she enjoyed sleeping with men, she could now sleep with them to her heart’s content!
In the evening, Idris stormed back home.
“Mindy, what did you do to Sophia? Where is she?”
Mindy took a sip of the tea before she nonchalantly said, “If she’s missing, you should go to the police. Why are you coming to me?”
Idris sneered. “If anything happens to her, I won’t spare you!”
Mindy checked the time; Sophia should be in bed with a few men by now.
Just then, she received a notification on her phone. It was a message from her subordinate, whom she had asked to record a video.
She put down her teacup and tapped on the video. Soon after, she heard the sound of moaning.
Mindy saw Sophia, who had a look of ecstasy on her face. She smiled and showed Idris her phone. “This is the woman you’re looking for. She’s having fun with a few men. She doesn’t have time for you.”
Idris widened his eyes before he raised his hand and gave Mindy a strong slap.
“You’re a witch! I won’t spare you!
Mindy sneered. “What are you going to do? Call the police and ask them to arrest me? If that happens, Pond Corporation and the Pond Family are going to be affected. Are you sure you want to do that for a woman’s sake?”
Idris glared at her and said, “We’ll see!”
Obviously, he would not call the police. Profit was the most important thing to him. He only treated Sophia well because she had birthed him a son. How could he go through all that fuss for her?
Mindy was not afraid of dealing with Sophia because she realized this.
After Idris left, Ada came downstairs.
“Dad’s finally disgusted with Sophia, but we can’t relax just yet. After all, she still has her
son.”
Mindy scoffed and slowly said, “I know. I’ll visit your grandma in the hospital. That boy is still a member of the Pond Family, so how can we let a sl*tty woman raise him?”
As long as she could get that little b*stard back to Pond Mansion, she would have a ton of ways to deal with him!
“Okay.”
Mindy left, and Ada went out for a business discussion.
The
impact of the plagiarism case had been huge. Most of the people she approached had refused to collaborate with her.
Those who were kinder told her the truth that Perficient’s brand image was terrible. However, a group of netizens online had voluntarily organized a boycott of Perficient. Therefore, it would be better for Ada to lay low.
She needed to lower her requirements for potential collaborators again and again. Finally, she found a few small collaborators who were willing to collaborate with Perficient.
Ada walked into the appointed restaurant for her business discussion. In the end, her collaborator agreed to sign the contract at her company the next morning. While she was sending him off, she bumped into Silvia at the entrance.
Mr. Jones was standing next to Silvia. He used to be Perficient’s biggest collaborator in the past.
Ada’s expression darkened, but she quickly forced a smile. “Mr. Jones, are you collaborating with MY Corporation now?”
Mr. Jones glanced at the collaborator next to Ada and realized that they were not on the same level. He smiled and said, “We just had dinner together.”
After that, he looked at Silvia. “Miss Pond, that’s all for today. Let’s talk again next time.” Silvia nodded. “Sure.”
The two sisters were left, so Ada glared at Silvia. “Don’t think you’ve won by collaborating with Mr. Jones.”
Silvia simply walked away without looking at her.
Ada got so angry that she gritted her teeth. She quickly moved forward and stopped her. “I’m talking to you. Are you deaf?”
