“Goodness gracious! What do we do now? Was Ms. Sophie arrested, too?”

Given that those people were from the Department of Justice, one would really be put behind bars if there was a problem.

“With Mr. White taken away and no one at the helm, what should we do?” The executives were thrown into utter desperation.

“Enough! Everyone, stay calm. We don’t know much about it yet, so there’s very little point in worrying. We should get back to our posts and do what we’re supposed to do.”

At that point, they could only go with the flow.

“Why don’t we contact Mr. Yale? After all, he’s Ms. Sophie’s dad!” someone suggested.

That would make sense, for Yale would probably have some inside scoop on the matter.

“Yale? Forget it. We all know how tactless he has always been. Having him around will bring us nothing but trouble.”

Upon hearing that remark, the person perished the thought.

Besides, Sophie was more than capable to tackle anything thrown her way, so there should not be a problem.

Meanwhile, Sophie was brought to the Department of Justice. The officer who dealt with her, however, was not very cordial.

Witnessing Sophie’s nonchalant mien even when she had been apprehended, the officer was livid.

“Since you’re already sitting here, you ought to be cooperative with the investigation. Or else—”

At long last, Sophie looked up at the officer.

“Are you threatening me right now? How am I not cooperative? Just question me about anything you want to know. You need not resort to threats.”

She had always disliked being threatened.

Having to deal with those legal professionals, she was anything but afraid of them.
