It turned out that her name was Lara Brooks, and that was her original appearance. However, she later underwent plastic surgery to make herself look like Annabel Johnson. Then, she returned to Cethos to drive a wedge between Cooper and Michael. After her plastic surgery, she looked very similar to how the real Annabel had looked when she was younger—just with some extra wrinkles on her face.
On the other hand, the real Annabel Johnson was completely different in both appearance and temperament nowadays.
Lara was probably both Callum and Cade’s surrogate mother. Unfortunately, the children she missed so much didn’t even know who she was. She suffered through ten months of pregnancy to give birth to them. Even if she knew that they were not blood-related to her, they were still her flesh and blood! How could she not care for them? Their biological mother didn’t care for them, but this surrogate mother of theirs loved them from the bottom of her heart! I wonder what kind of feeling that is… Sigh… Sophia sighed before walking away.
Alas, Cooper took the contract, which was written by Sam himself back then, to coerce Sam into giving 1% of the shares to Sophia. Although Sam was miserable, he didn’t dare to object. After all, he wrote the contract himself. I can’t believe Cooper still remembers that contract after so many years!
After breaking off with the Yard Family, Sophia’s path toward moving out of the niche business of producing pet luxury goods to producing luxury goods for the general public had been cut off again. In the first place, the market for pet luxury goods was very small. Therefore, producing luxury goods for the use of people rather than pets was definitely more profitable. Damn it! Since the Ronney Group has withdrawn, I might as well do it on my own!
Before the Ronney Group, a company specializing in crocodile skin luxury goods, could fully penetrate the Cethosian market, she had to recruit her personnel and establish her business. Fortunately for her, she was not lacking in her design team. Her chief designer, Ivan, mainly designed luxury goods for human use. Designing pet luxury goods was just his side business and hobby. Over the years, he had built up his own design team, as well as a strong marketing team, and created a reputation for himself in the international market. The time was right for her to start her business!
Hence, Sophia was extremely busy during this period. She worked until late at night every day before returning home. By the time she reached home, Carmen was already asleep, and when she left home for work in the morning, Carmen was still sleeping. This went on for several days, and both mother and daughter didn’t see each other at all.
No more than two days after visiting the giant panda, Sophia suddenly received a phone call from Sandra. Nowadays, Sandra no longer dared to act presumptuously in front of Sophia. Every time she did, it would backfire. Therefore, she only dared to show off over the phone.
Sophia quickly answered the call; she couldn’t wait to hear what stupid things Sandra had been up to recently. As soon as the call connected, Sandra’s triumphant voice sounded through the phone. “Hahaha; Sophia! I heard that your contract with the Yard Family has been one-sidedly terminated by the Yard Family! You were kicked to the curb! I’m sure you must be very disappointed right now!”
One-sidedly terminated? That f*cking Callum claimed that it was one-sidedly terminated to maintain his pride?! I was the one to dissolve the contract after I played him like a fiddle! Thus, Sophia coldly snorted. “Get to the point.”
