Chapter 502 A Huge Challenge to Meet Bright
Nora felt much better after having hot pot. She was quite easy-going in this aspect.
Besides, she had been busy collecting the evidence against Nathan together with Lillian. So she almost left everything else behind. She went to sleep when tired and got back to work when she woke up again.
During this busy time, she also heard good news—Sophie was sentenced to fixed term of five years and she was put into prison immediately.

When Sophie was taken away by the police, she stared at Sky, who was sitting among the audience. Her eyes went tearful and bloodshot.
However, Sky actually ignored her as if he didn't even notice. His eyes still remained cold as if they were strangers to each other.
Seeing that, Sophie felt like being stabbing into her heart. Perhaps she had never expected that her relationship with Sky would turn to be so chilling cold.
Then she was taken away by the police and then they stepped out of the court. It was a bit cold but sun still shed light on the ground, which made it a bit warm.
"Rose, long time no see." It had been a long time since Sky met her last time. It seemed that he was a bit thinner, "You have settled down in City J, right?"
"Yes." Rose talked to him just like his friend, "Wherever Bright goes, there will be my home. I will follow him forever."
Today Bright had just gone for a business trip in Country M. Otherwise, he would definitely stay with Rose at the moment.
Sky smiled while blinking a bit, "You do live a happy life, right?"
"Yes." Rose nodded.
Nora stood beside and said to him, "Sky, no one could change the past. Since you didn't even care about her before, why do you still ask so? Her life has nothing to do with you."
Sky's face seemed to change a bit and his eyes looked a bit sad. But he still kept a smile on his face, "I just want to show my care as her friend."
"You have no right to care about her." Nora reminded, "Now Sophie is put into prison and now you are free. Just go and chase after your next love!"
"Okay." He answered casually.
Both Joy and Chandler came over. So Sky turned around to leave.
"Rose, do you feel good living in City J with Bright?" Chandler asked with concern, "You haven't been back home for a long time. Since today you are free, would you like to go back home to visit your grandma? I will have your mom get you your favorite food."
"Mr. Linder, I am sure Mrs. Linder told you that I would never been back to the Linder family since then, didn't she? Now I have nothing to do with your family."
Of course, when Rose knew that she was not Chandler's daughter, she would never deem the Linder family her own home. So that was why she tried to make a clear cut with them.
Chandler was stunned and then frowned when looking at Joy who stood beside. It seemed that he was too awkward to say anything else.
Though he felt annoyed, he still had to smile at Rose as they were now standing at the gate of the court, "Rose, after all, I am your mom. Just let it go. The Linder family will still be your home. And we are still your parents. Grandma really misses you recently. Let's go back home together, okay?"
"Mr. Linder, Sophie, your daughter, has just been put into prison. If you miss your daughter, you can go to visit her." Rose still talked in a euphemistic tone as it was Joy who gave birth to her, "Sorry, I am busy. I am afraid I can't stay here with you."
Then Rose left with Nora and the complaint and question of Chandler sounded from behind. But Rose had nothing to do with it.
Both of them took a flight to get back to City J after having a meal. Rose still tried to spare enough time to pick up Doris after school.
Now she only cared about those her beloved one and her friends, those who cared about her from the bottom of their hearts.
As the lawsuit against Sophie was settled, the reputations of both of the Linder Group and the Tanner Group were heavily damaged because of her identity as the second daughter of the Linder family. Besides, Sky divorced her because of the fact that she cheated on him after marriage.
But luckily, Sky divorced her. So the announcement of the divorce helped to stop them from getting more impacts.
But the Linder Group was still trapped into deep trouble as Sophie was Chandler's family. So the Linder Group was still undertaking a great damage.
So the Beach Hotel involved in a cooperation project with the Tanner Group was also being impacted greatly. According to the contract, if any party brought a damage to the mutual interest, the other party should have the right to expel the breaching one.
So after that, the cooperation projected was ceased. And every cooperation involved was put to an end.
Chandler was being questioned by all shareholders during the board meeting as it was a huge damage to the interest of all shareholders.
Noticing that the group was now in a huge risk and was on the edge of collapse, Chandler was so desperate and powerless.
If he failed to retrieve the confidence and morale of the whole group, it would be definitely taken over by another group.
That was the last thing he wanted to see. After a long consideration, he decided to ask Bright for help.
However, only Bright's secretary answered his call, who claimed that he was busy or he was on a business trip. So Chandler was left no chance to talk to him.
Thinking of the indifference of Rose, Chandler assumed that Bright avoided seeing them on purpose. So he decided to go to City J to visit them in person.
As soon as he reached City J, he came to the HY Group to ask for a talk to Bright.
"Sorry, Mr. Linder, you haven't made an appointment with Mr. Lee beforehand." The front desk lady refused with euphemistic words.
"I am the father-in-law of Mr. Lee! Do I need an appointment?" Chandler tried hard to suppress his anger and continued, "Even a front desk lady dares to question me?"
"Mr. Linder, please don't be mad. We have rules in the company and nothing could go beyond the rules. Please don't try to get us into embarrassment. We are just doing things according to the rules here." The front desk lady still kept a smile on her face, "If you just want a private talk, you can go to Mr. Lee's home to visit Mrs. Lee."
Of course, what she said was right. If Chandler insisted, he would be deemed aggressive.
But Chandler was sure that Rose would definitely refuse to meet him. So it didn't work even if he came to the Ginkgo Villa.
Even if he met Bright there, Rose would still stay beside and he was not sure if Rose would say something bad against him. So Chandler could not view her as his own daughter now. The best solution was to meet Bright alone.
So he chose to compromise, "Well, can I have a talk to Bill, his assistant? I don't think that needs an appointment, right?"
"Mr. Linder, unfortunately, Bill is now in an annual leave."
Of course, the front desk lady was telling the truth. Since Bill had finished the work given by Bright and Rose also interceded, now Bill was enjoying a leave lasting for half a month. Perhaps Bill was bathing the sunlight on a beach while staring at pretty ladies at this moment.
Chandler felt like being pushed to an edge. He found it terribly hard to meet Bright.
