The company's cooperation came to an abrupt end, and then I learned an even more shocking news: Sophia and Peter Smith were about to get married.
I don't know how Peter Smith's mother persuaded Sophia, but she was willing to give up 50% of the shares and bring her own car and house, without asking for a dowry. When she was with me, she was very picky about the location, size and dowry of the car, but now she was so easily changed by Peter Smith's family, I can't help but sigh that things are impermanent.
I learned from relatives that Sophia was anxious to get married because of her pregnancy, so the wedding seemed hasty. But... doesn't Peter Smith suffer from asthenospermia?
I lowered my eyes to hide my inner turmoil, and secretly hired a private spy to follow Peter Smith , thinking there must be something fishy going on.
Sure enough, soon after the marriage, Sophia completely withdrew from the company, and the power fell into the hands of Peter Smith .
When I heard about this, I was busy negotiating a major cooperation. The partner showed a look of contempt and mentioned this matter: "I thought Shengtian, as a newcomer in the industry, could make a difference, but now it seems that it is just so-so."
I occasionally go home, and because of my last sudden departure, my family has become more restrained towards me. They still keep in close contact with Peter Smith's parents and are always busy reporting Peter Smith's latest situation to me.
"Peter Smith is really smart. He even has the CEO in his hands. Now he can only suffer at home."
"When can you make us proud too?"
"His methods are dishonorable. I don't want to associate with him."
"You kid! How can you talk like that!"
The father snorted in displeasure.
The phone screen suddenly lit up, and I picked it up and saw the irony. It turned out that after the cooperation with Shengtian fell through, Sophia privately contacted the executives of my current company. And this text message turned out to be the chat record between the boss and her.
"Don't trust Ethan Smith. He refused to cooperate with us because he had worked with Shengtian before. For selfish reasons, such a person should not stay in your company."
"And we fired him because he was incompetent. Don't be fooled by his many years of performance."
The boss also added a meaningful message at the end: "Xiao Cheng, I believe you, but don't underestimate the horror of villains."
I immediately sent a text message to Sophia and arranged a meeting with her.
When Sophia arrived, her belly was slightly pregnant and she looked a little haggard, but she could not hide her pride.
"I didn't expect you to be so despicable." I got straight to the point.
She snorted coldly: "Despicable? You are not a good thing either. You deliberately canceled the cooperation with Shengtian. Do you know how much I lost because of this?"
"What's the use of the money you made? Didn't you spend it all on Peter Smith?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" She was obviously panicked.
"You don't know that Peter Smith has asthenospermia, right? It's almost impossible for you to get pregnant through ordinary methods. So who do you think this child belongs to?" I deliberately left the question blank to give her ample room for imagination, even though it was just my guess.
Sophia was immediately furious: "Even if it's not Peter Smith 's, it can't be your child!"
" Give up on this idea. I can't be with you. Meeting you is the most unfortunate thing that has ever happened to me in my life."
I responded calmly and motioned for her to continue.
"Even if I die, Shengtian will not return to you, so just give up on this idea."
"Of course, sooner or later it will belong to Peter Smith."
In the end, we parted on bad terms, but the seeds of doubt had already taken root in her heart.
