Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love-Chapter 2271 - 2283: Sophie Jenkins, You Won’t Be Smiling for Long

To forcibly dissociate herself from Marie Wellington, Sophie Jenkins even brought up the Wellington family’s past ’sniping’ of the Jenkins family.

Her words suggested she was an extremely filial woman who greatly valued family ties.

Hearing Sophie’s words, Marie Wellington’s already gloomy face flashed with confusion: "The Wellington family sniping the Jenkins family? I admit, I didn’t step in to help when the Jenkins family was declining and instead took advantage of it. But I wasn’t the only one who did; you and your father also made quite a profit... Moreover, you have no filial piety towards Elder Jenkins at all. You and I are the same kind of person, so what right do you have to accuse me!?"

Although Marie Wellington was shameless, he was at least straightforward in his actions.

Sophie Jenkins’ tactic of blaming the victim was something he couldn’t swallow.

He had never ordered the Wellington family to snipe the Jenkins family; he wouldn’t admit to something he hadn’t done.

Sophie Jenkins: "Who says I’m not filial? I’m the most filial to my Grandpa... I was just forced to, to avenge him. Let me tell you, no matter how much you explain, you can’t cover up what you did to the Jenkins family. If it weren’t for you publicly declaring your intention to short the Jenkins family’s shares, how could the Jenkins family have faced a credit crisis?"

Marie Wellington: "When did I order the shorting of the Jenkins family? I never said such a thing..."

Sophie Jenkins wanted to cut ties with Marie Wellington, but to portray herself as pure and flawless, she needed to find grounds to accuse him.

However, Marie Wellington had never done such things; little did he know that everyone under him, from the board of directors to the Professional Manager Team he hired, were all Dylan Wellington’s people.

On his end, at most, he only had his secretary and a few incapable people he brought back from the branch office as confidants.

Therefore, when Marie Wellington was taken away by the police, he didn’t know the truth of the matter.

Meanwhile, Sophie Jenkins confidently walked out of the Wellington family’s doors and even accepted media interviews.

Using this situation, she was able to expose Marie Wellington’s unfilial and disloyal nature before Dylan Wellington and the others.

She tearfully claimed that she endured and hid by Marie Wellington’s side solely to avenge her aunt and her Grandpa, for her family’s sake.

For a time, the public was scolding Marie Wellington for being disgusting.

But they had endless sympathy for Sophie Jenkins.

Everyone felt that she had been too forbearing and that it was not easy for her.

Half a month later, in a dimly lit inn.

A disheveled man with stubble on his face sat at the bedside, looking at the newspaper in his hand.

The newspaper featured Sophie Jenkins, who had just gained immense fame for her filial devotion.

Since after Marie Wellington fell, Sophie Jenkins’ deeds of sacrificing herself and dispersing her family fortune out of revenge became widely known.

People sympathized with this kind and filial child.

As a result, Sophie Jenkins gave speeches everywhere and was constantly invited.

Due to her beauty and legendary experiences, she not only became an internet celebrity but was also reportedly favored by some business magnates, with a high chance of skyrocketing through noble connections.

"Sophie Jenkins..." The destitute man, his dark hands clenching the newspaper tightly.

He looked at the woman on the newspaper with a smile like a blooming flower, and a gleam of hatred passed through his dark pupils.

"Laugh, laugh... you won’t be laughing for much longer..."

The man glanced at the woman’s face again, then crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it to the foot of the bed.

He stood up and walked towards a black-and-white photo on the table.

He bowed deeply to the image of Elder Jenkins in the photo.
