Chapter 60
Krystal said curlously, “Who is he? He doesn’t look like he’s from our school. Nichole, you’ve met so many people, anyone who drives that kind of car can’t be ordinary. Have you seen him before?”
Upon hearing Krystal’s words, Nichole replied with a hint of pride. “He’s an International businessmen, known as Colby. He’s quite Influential.”
“Really?” Krystal’s eyes lit up instantly, but soon she deflated, “Such an impressive person surely wouldn’t notice me. And why is he at our school? He couldn’t possibly be here to pick up his girlfriend, could he?”
Nichole quickly thought of Sophie. Previously at the auction, Colby had stood up for Sophie. Could there be something between them?
Sure enough, Sophie and Adler emerged from Liberty Hall and walked towards Colby’s car together. Colby even courteously opened the car door for Sophie.
This scene stunned Krystal, “Isn’t that the woman who tried to steal your boyfriend? Why is she getting into someone else’s car? Does she know this Colby? No way…”
Nichole watched this unfold, feeling a twinge of jealousy. Why were there always men around Sophie?
Inside the car, Adler naturally took on the role of the driver.
“You called me over in such a hurry. Did you find out who was spreading those anonymous rumors?”
Colby’s work was always swift. “This ID was newly registered, but according to the location tracking, I found where she posted the message from.”
“Where?”
“It was at Eastwood College.”
Hearing this, Sophie nodded knowingly.
“Did you already figure it out?”
“That nightclub is right next to Eastwood College, and with all the people around me in those days, there’s a good chance that the person who broke this story is also from Eastwood College.”
Colby spoke calmly. “The person who registered this ID is Nichole.”
“Nichole?”
Sophie frowned. Why would Nichole spread rumors about her for no reason?
She remembered that in her past life, she had no dealings with Nichole, and even in this life, they hadn’t interacted much. Nichole had always portrayed herself as a delicate and innocent figure. It was out of character for her to suddenly do something like this.
“I remember now, wasn’t she the girl rumored to be James‘ girlfriend?” Adler added, “Never underestimate a woman’s jealousy. They can do anything.
“Nichole isn’t the problem. I came to see you today for another matter.” Colby took out a stack of documents and handed them to Sophie. “Here’s what you wanted. It’s been approved.”
“That was fast.”
Sophie was surprised by Colby’s efficiency.
When she saw the documents stamped with a red seal, Sophie smiled.
In a slightly secluded part of downtown, Sophie had funded the purchase of a building, which had just finished being renovated. She couldn’t handle this personally, so she had included some labor fees for Colby to prepare everything. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Everything was held in secret, and it wasn’t until the business licence came through that she could really breathe a sigh of relief.
Adler parked the car in the garage of the currently empty building. The three of them took the elevator to the top floor, where they could enjoy the most beautiful view without being noticed.
Adler asked, “Ms. Sophie, you’ve got Russell family’s real estate, so why did you buy this building? Doesn’t the Russell family own enough properties?”
Sophie slowly said, “The Russell family is like a teetering giant tree. I need to break free from IL”
“That’s why you bid on that polluted plece of land. Now, its value is well over ten billion.”
Colby’s abrupt statement startled Adler. How much? Ten billion?
