Все главы Caught In The CEO's Sweet Trap: Глава 81 - Глава 90

SOPHIA. A week later… I pushed Lucas’ wheelchair into his father’s ward. Doctor Devon had just given us the news that he had woken up from his coma. It took a few more days than we had expected, but luckily, the treatment had worked. Lucas asked to see him immediately, and since his left leg and right arm still had a cast, he could only move around in a wheelchair. “Dad,” Lucas said the moment we approached the bed. “How are you feeling?” I smiled at the old man on the bed. He looked like he had aged a few more years. A sigh escaped his lips. “If you didn’t tell me the cause of your mother’s death, I wouldn’t have collapsed, and no one would have known I was being drugged. Doctor Devon just told me what was found in my system.” “Do you have any idea who could have done this?” Lucas asked. “I don’t… everyone at home is trustworthy, and I don’t think they can do such a thing. It’s probably someone who’s not on my payroll.”“Dad, how can you be so sure? Even those on your payrol

SOPHIA. My waist and back were in pain after riding Lucas the whole night. To avoid Steven, we stayed in bed the whole day after asking Sarah to bring breakfast and lunch to our room. Lucas had still not recovered, so I couldn’t go to the company yet. However, it seemed there was no chance for us to rest with the old man being mischievous with his crazy ideas. We couldn't send him back to the Hart mansion either, since his life was in danger. After spending the whole day sleeping and watching movies, the old man came to call us down for dinner personally. So we had no choice but to leave our bedroom and go down to join him for dinner.“So, how was your night?” He asked, glancing at us with a mischievous grin on his face.Lucas cleared his throat. “Thanks to you, Dad. We had a rough night.”Steven’s eyebrows hiked. “A rough night, huh?”He nodded his head too many times, his grin reaching his ears. “That is wonderful news!” He exclaimed, hitting the table with his palm. “I will be

CARLA. When I heard the board members had called for an emergency meeting, I already knew it couldn’t be anything good. Since Sophia announced that she was the chairwoman of the Adams Group, Elias had stormed into my office to harass me almost every day. He wanted me to hand over my position to him so that he could easily take over the chairman position. Luckily, I wasn’t one he could easily bully. He couldn’t strip me of my position without proper procedure. So, I stood up to him and continued working on the plan to open a subsidiary investment company.I was shocked when he claimed I should take responsibility for the missing hundred million dollars. I had been investigating where such a large sum of money had gone when I noticed the discrepancies in the financial statement. It was only this morning that I found out the truth. Elias bribed someone from the finance department and embezzled the funds as if the company belonged to him. A sigh escaped my lips as I sat in the confere

SOPHIA. “What if we sign an alliance with Savvy-Tech? Will that make investors trust us?” The folds between my eyebrows creased as I glanced at Carla in confusion. Why did she sound like we had already secured an alliance with Savvy-Tech? They had been unresponsive so far. I was even planning on choosing another tech company to partner with. As expected, Daniel scoffed at Carla’s words. “Yeah, right. Even Elias, the heir of the Hart group, couldn’t manage to get through to Savvy-Tech. How can you do it?” He mocked. “It doesn’t matter if you get rid of Elias Hart or not. Today, we will have to appoint another CEO. I won’t believe that you two managed to contact Savvy-Tech, let alone make them sign a contract with the company.”I internally rolled my eyes. Anyone could tell what Daniel’s agenda was. He was eying the CEO position. Poor Elias didn’t even know that he was being used. Once he was out of the picture, his so-called backer didn’t even care. To each his own, after all. S

SOPHIA. The crowd became louder, their angry voices drawing everyone's attention. More people stopped and came to watch the scene.“We say no to unfair treatment! Don’t fire workers due to personal reasons!” “The chairwoman must step down!” “You can’t fire a pregnant woman with no pay! The chairwoman is a vicious woman!” Carla glanced at me. “Sophia, you leave with the squad members. I’ll deal with this.”I could already see my security team holding off the protestors, and some were already near me, ready to protect me in case of anything. “This war is between me and Violet. If I don’t fight back today, she will think I’m easy to bully,” I replied in a low voice. “Sophia, I know you hate me because I’m carrying Elias’s child, and you couldn’t. But that’s not a reason to fire me without my severance pay,” Violet’s sharp voice echoed around us, a triumphant smirk on her lips. She held her small baby bump like it was an award she didn’t deserve. “Elias is my husband now, and we a
