From Ruin She Rose novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169

On the other end of the call, Sofia lounged on the sofa in her study, one leg crossed over the other as she casually swirled her coffee.

She said, “Getting old makes my memory a bit fuzzy. What exactly are you referring to, Lydia?” Her tone was light, but the sarcasm in her smile was unmistakable.

She had only agreed to Lydia’s request out of courtesy to the Bennett family, but that didn’t mean she was going to let some young girl like Lydia use her as a pawn.

Lydia was so angry that she nearly ground her teeth to pieces.

The Jenkins family had been surviving under the Bennett family’s shadow for years, which was exactly why they picked Xavier to get close to Emily.

That was also the reason Lydia had gone to Sofia with this in the first place-and Sofia had agreed right away, without a second thought.

But after that, there was nothing but radio silence. Whenever Lydia messaged for an update, all she got were half-hearted replies like, “I’ll think about it.”

Lydia fumed inwardly, ‘Now I am the one calling first, and this old woman is still playing dumb. She gritted her teeth, barely holding back her anger.

She said, “If you don’t remember, then let’s just drop it. I was actually planning to recommend the Jenkins family for the Bennett Group’s new project, but I guess that’s off the table now.”

The Bennett Group’s latest project was the hottest ticket in Cloudridge right now. While the Jenkins family didn’t exactly need this project, for Sofia-who was currently locked in a power struggle with James-it was a rare chance she couldn’t afford to miss.

Lydia understood her skepticism.

Andrew was notorious for being strict and uncompromising in business matters. He didn’t even give Emma any special treatment, so no one had dared to ask him for favors over the years.

Lydia thought, ‘But that is everyone else-I am a different story. If I spoke up, there is no way Andrew would refuse me-and I wouldn’t even give him the chance to say no.’

She said, “Andrew always listens to me. It’s just changing the business partner, nothing that would hurt the Bennett Family. Don’t you believe me?”

Sofia set her coffee down, grinning. She said, “Of course, I trust you. But you know how business goes-things can change at any time. You get what I’m saying, right, Lydia?”

She thought, “This real heiress the Bennett Family brought back is no pushover. She will catch my drift.’

Sofia suddenly acted like she recalled something and said, “It just came to me. You mean that time you asked me to track down the people who kidnapped Emily and get them to turn themselves in, right?

“I might be getting on in years and a bit forgetful, but I’ve still got some connections in certain circles. This kind of thing is

no big deal, but it can be a hassle, you know?

“If I’m in a good mood, things will get done a lot faster. Wouldn’t you agree, Lydia?”
