Chapter 744 Miss You
Sophia attended the shareholders' meeting of Micro Circuit Group.
She brought her assistant Emily, and even when facing a room full of elite men, she showed no sign of fear.
Matthew had leaked the news that she was selling her shares, and at today's meeting, two people expressed their interest in buying Sophia's shares.
Sophia directly sold her shares to these two shareholders at the current market price of Micro Circuit Group.
After signing the contracts, Sophia smiled and said, "As a former shareholder, I am no longer qualified to attend the rest of the meeting. I'll take my leave now. Goodbye, everyone."
With that, she picked up her bag and walked out of the meeting room with Emily.
Later, Sophia instructed Emily to sell all of Jake's real estate.
Once all the assets were liquidated, Sophia established a charitable foundation and donated the money to the foundation in Jake's name. The funds would be used entirely for orphan support.
Sophia had someone inform Jake about her plan of handling these money.
At that time, Jake was still in custody, awaiting the court's verdict.
Upon learning that Sophia had sold all his assets and donated the proceeds, he merely smiled gently and said nothing.
It seemed he had already guessed that Sophia would do this.
Jake also had considerable assets in Country M, but they were all seized.
Celeste and Ruth heard about Sophia establishing a charitable foundation and expressed their support. They even donated some of their private assets and actively called for donations within the elite circles.
Caroline, on behalf of the Wolf family and Nicholas, also donated a sum of money.
Having grown up in an orphanage, she knew how difficult it was for orphans to grow up.
So, she actively participated in various volunteer activities later on.
Sophia hired professionals to manage the charitable foundation. The change in Micro Circuit Group's shareholders had completely severed any ties with Jake.
In the president's office of the Lancaster Group, Alex was reporting his findings.
"Tiffany's supporter was Jake. He used a voice changer with a virtual number to contact Tiffany and provided her with a lot of help."
"Raskolnikov's suicide in prison was also due to Jake's illegal operations."
"The fire in our lab was related to Jake."
"Tiffany was originally pretending to be crazy, but Jake had someone scare her into actual insanity in the mental hospital."
"And Patricia..."
If Jake hadn't fled quickly, he wouldn't have escaped legal punishment for the things he did domestically.
However, Jake did two things very well, which was he drove Tiffany and Patricia insane.
Even though they wouldn't have escaped prison, living in madness made their lives more painful.
"Did you notice anything?"
Alex looked at Gabriel in confusion.
"Notice what?"
"Jake did many things all for Sophia."
Gabriel suddenly realized that Jake's love for Sophia was both restrained and passionate. If Jake hadn't been so extreme, filled with hatred, and so crazy, he might have won Sophia's love long ago.
Gabriel suddenly felt very fortunate.
Fortunately, he and Sophia had grown up together and had an arranged marriage. Fortunately, he agreed Ruth to marry Sophia even if he was reluctant. Fortunately, they had three children. Fortunately, he realized his love for Sophia in time. Fortunately, Sophia still liked him. Fortunately, everything was still in time.
Gabriel picked up his coat.
"Mr. Lancaster, where are you going? There's an important meeting later."
"Postpone it."
Gabriel ran out with his car keys.
Yes, he ran in front of all the employees.
Once in the car, Gabriel called Sophia.
"Where are you?" As soon as the call connected, he couldn't wait to ask.
It was a bit noisy on Sophia's end.
"I'm at the factory."
"Give me the address. I'll come to you."
"Is something wrong?" Sophia's voice sounded worried.
"No, I just miss you."
Sophia was silent.
Sophia wondered, 'Had Gabriel suddenly been triggered by anything?'
"I'm almost done here. How about we have dinner out tonight?"
"I'll come pick you up. Send me the address."
"Alright."
Sophia sent the factory address to Gabriel.
At a red light, Gabriel stopped the car and texted Alex.
[Book a restaurant for me.]
Gabriel added another message.
[Make it romantic.]
Alex sent back an OK hand gesture.
A romantic restaurant? What counts as romantic?
Alex searched online. Some restaurants were very beautiful, but they still didn't feel romantic enough. Some had a rich and meaningful menu, but something was still missing.
Gabriel had never specifically emphasized romance before, so this time Alex had to book the most romantic restaurant.
Alex was ready in take action.
However, half an hour passed, and he still hadn't found one.
Alex had no choice but to ask Harrison for help.
Harrison was still sleeping, his voice lazy and a bit grumpy from waking up.
"What do you want?"
"Mr. Lancaster wants to book a romantic restaurant. Do you have any recommendations?"
"Romantic?" Harrison immediately perked up, "I have one. I'll book it and send you the address."
"Alright, thank you."
Harrison was the most knowledgeable in this area. He would definitely book the most romantic restaurant and make Gabriel and Sophia happy.
Having completed his task, Alex took out his phone and looked through the information his mother had sent about potential dates.
[Thirty-eight years old, a few years older than me, but that's okay. Age isn't a problem. Middle school education, not a match in education, but that's okay. Divorced with two kids, no work experience...]
After reading all the information his mother sent, Alex fell silent.
He couldn't help but look at himself in the large mirror in the bathroom.
He was 6.3 feet tall, just a bit shorter than Gabriel, and he kept himself in good shape. In his thirties, he hadn't gained weight, and his hair was still intact.
He had a seven-figure bank account, stocks worth nearly a million dollars, and two houses in City B, one gifted by Gabriel and the other he bought outright. He also had a nice car.
He was a graduate of a prestigious school with plenty of relationships and resources, but why hadn't he attracted any women over the years?
Alex reflected deeply.
His phone rang; it was his mother.
"Alex, did you see anyone you like?"
"Mom, I think I'm still young. I can stay single for a few more years."
His mother replied, "But you're all alone over there. Without a girl to keep you company, I worry."
"How about you and Dad move to City B?"
"No, we can't get used to the big city. It's more comfortable back home. You stay single for now. Wait, I'm going to play now. I won today."
Alex looked at his phone, which had been hung up, and he felt a sense of loneliness.
He sighed deeply.
A lonely night for working overtime it was!
