When faced with Booker''s response, Sophie slightly furrowed her brows and said, "You know full well that Ricardo is Weldon''s killer, yet you still n to cover for him?" "I''m not covering for him. It''s just that Cloude Enterprises is Weldon''s life''s work. I can''t just watch as Weldon''s legacy is destroyed."


    He was very clear that if he helped Sophie, it would be akin to pushing Cloude Enterprises to the edge of a cliff.


    Sophie chuckled lightly and said, "Who said Weldon''s life''s work would be destroyed?"


    Booker scoffed coldly, saying, "You''ve been nning this for so long. Isn''t your objective just to overthrow Mr. Ricardo and destroy Cloude Enterprises?"


    "You''re half right and half wrong."


    "What do you mean?"


    "I do want to overthrow Ricardo, but that doesn''t mean I want to destroy Cloude Enterprises."


    Hearing Sophie''s words, Booker was taken aback.


    Sophie now held all the cards. Even if heid out all the pros and cons to Ricardo, Ricardo wouldn''t have listened to him. With just one word from Sophie, all of Cloude Enterprises'' financial lifelines could be cu off. Bankruptcy for Cloude Enterprises would just be a matter of moments.


    Sophie had done so much, and she said she didn''t want to destroy Cloude Enterprises?


    Sophie said, "I''ve always been clear about who my friends and enemies are. My beef is with Ricardo. What I''ve done so far is just to bring him down, not to destroy Cloude Enterprises."


    "Who would believe your nonsense? You''ve gone this far. Do you expect me to believe you''d give up on Duskhaven, a juicy piece of the pie that''s nearly in your hands?"


    Sophie realized that Booker didn''t believe her and simply said, "Who said I''m giving up on Duskhaven?"Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    Booker sneered coldly, saying, "I knew you had ill intentions!"


    "Whether I have ill intentions or not, you should at least hear me out."


    Sophie smiled slightly and said,


    "You''re so worried about Cloude Enterprises, mostly because you''re afraid that after Ricardo''s fall, Cloude Enterprises'' fortune will have no heir, leading to chaos and thepany to dissolve in an instant and allowing me to take advantage of the situation and acquire it, right?"


    "Good that you know."


    "Then I can also tell you that after Ricardo''s fall, I will not acquire Cloude Enterprises but invest in it. My investment will be ten billion."


    Hearing this number, Booker was stunned. "Ten billion?"


    Sophie said, "If I''m not mistaken, Cloude Enterprises is currently short by ten billion. Once Ricardo falls, Cloude Enterprises will be revived and operational again with my ten billion investment."


    "But if Mr. Ricardo falls, wouldn''t Cloude Enterprises end up in the hands of others?" Booker stared at Sophie meaningfully.


    Sophie, however, said, "Ricardo''s fall doesn''t mean Cloude Enterprises has no other heirs. Isn''t Julian also a bloodline of Weldon?" "Julian? He''s just an inexperienced trainee. He knows nothing about finance! How could he possibly run thepany well?"


    "Booker, that''s where you''re being too hasty," Sophie said. "Julian''s mother has been raising him as a son of the Cloude family from a young age. Before entering the show biz, Julian had majored in finance.


    Moreover, after he came to S


    Corporation, I''ve made sure he''s


    caught up on all his lessons."


    Hearing this, Booker was taken aback, "So you''ve been nning this all along!"


    "Booker, I''veid my cards on the table. Are you still determined to side with Ricardo?"
