Chapter 199 Mr. Bright Exploits Public Offices for Private Gain

Sky stroked his face with his hands, unwilling to admit that his hatred for Rose was not pure, but was
mixed with too many complex emotions.

Sky tried hard to calm himself, then drove the car out of the hospital and called his assistant, "Find out
who was the one donated the umbilical cord blood and who took the check for two million five years
ago."

For some reason, he suspected and wanted to find out the truth. He still wanted to give himself a
reason not to hate her.

He had been tired in these five years.

Sky drove back to the Tanner family. Sophie was not at home.

His father, Sam, had something important to do today and went to play golf with a powerful man.

He then went upstairs and went to the study to do something, like practicing calligraphy so that he
could be in a calm mood.

Not long after, the assistant called him, "Mr. Sky, I found out that the check for two million has not been
taken by now."

"Okay, I got it." Sky put the brush in his hand on the pen holder and was immersed in thought.

It seemed that things were really not what he had thought. But he did not want to doubt Sophie, his
wife. Sophie was always with him in his hardest time. Besides, she was pregnant now.

But why hadn't anyone taken this check for five years? Did the donor not care about money or not need
money?



Sky couldn't figure it out. He was so annoyed that he picked up the brush again and continued writing,
hoping he could calm down.

Suddenly, there was someone knocking on the door of the study.

"Who is it?"

"Honey, it's me." It was Sophie's voice.

Sophie then pushed the door in, holding the tray with a bowl of soup on it.

"Honey, I came back and heard from the servant that you were in the study. So, I come to see you."
Sophie smiled harmlessly and sweetly, "The soup has just been made. Drink it while it's warm."

"You went to the hospital today to see Mom." Sky asked directly and stared at her face to watch her
reaction.

Sophie froze for a second. Then, she walked to him, held his arm, and naturally avoided his gaze, "I
had an upset stomach. So, I went to the hospital and saw Mom."

"But what annoyed me was that I met Rose. I don't know what she said. Mom was nicer to her than to
me, her daughter-in-law. I was jealous and in a bad mood. So, I said some offensive words. But I was
aiming at Rose, not mom."

Sophie not only frankly admitted that she had gone to the hospital, but also took the initiative to
mention Rose. She even made herself look pitiable and put the blame on Rose.

"I also heard that you were like a different person." Sky pulled his hand back from hers and then sat
down on the leather swivel chair behind him, "You know, it's not worth it to be angry over someone
else. Besides, that's my mother. You shouldn't talk like that anyway."



"Honey, I know I was wrong. So, as soon as I came back, I come to make amends for you with the
soup. I heard that women are unstable when they are pregnant. I also don't know what's wrong with
me." Sophie took Sky's hand again and shook it lightly, pouting at him. She looked so pitiful that no one
could bear to reproach her.

Sophie's way had been proved effective every time. She knew that men all liked gentle and lovely
women and they could not resist the women who acted like a spoiled child.

Sky had also heard that women were unstable when they were pregnant and could become a different
person.

This was indeed enough to convince him.

"Today, when I was sorting out the accounts, I found that the two million given to you five years ago to
give to the donor has never been withdrawn. How do you explain that?" Sky asked her.

Once something had started, it could not be stopped.

Sky was now testing and suspecting Sophie.

"Honey, the money was given to the donor. It's his right to withdraw it or not, or to use it or not. What
does it have to do with me? What if the donor just does not want to use the money?" Sophie was
slightly angry and shook off his hand, "Are you doubting me?"

"I want to know who he is." Then he would not have any suspicion of her.

"It has been five years. I don't have his contact information and don't know where he has gone." Sophie
bit her lips and was upset with Sky for asking such questions, "Honey, what is wrong with you?"

She thought May must have talked to Sky about what happened today. That was why Sky was asking
her about these things.



"Sophie, we have been together for so long. You already know me well. I hope you won't deceive me.
Tell me first if there is anything. We are a couple and there is nothing we can't talk about." Sky just
didn't want to recommit the same error.

But this time, could he really trust Sophie?

"Honey, I know." Sophie put on a smile again.

"The most important thing for you now is to protect yourself and the baby."

"I will."

Sophie hated Rose even more.

Rose, who was back to the Linder family's villa sneezed several times in a row, thinking that maybe
someone was missing her or cursing her.

Just as she thought about it, Bright called her, "Are you missing me?"

"I think you are missing me." Rose lay on the sofa, her slender legs folded at the ankles.

"You can read my mind?" Bright smiled, "I have good news for you."

"Actually, I also have good news for you." Rose put on a faint smile.

"It seems we have consonance." Bright smiled more deeply, "The board of directors of HY Group has
agreed to strengthen the development of City H. So, I will come to City H to work for a while and you
may finish the Beach Hotel bidding project with me. Is that good?"

"You're exploiting public offices for private gain." Although Rose said so, she was moved by Bright.



"I have always been scrupulous in separating public from private interests. It is really necessary for the
development of the group." Bright was serious.

"Liar." Rose chuckled.

"This time, I can accompany Doris to the parent-child activities. Besides, my dad is also coming to City
H." Bright revealed it first so that Rose could be prepared, "He will invite your parents to dinner. This
dinner is an imperative. You can't refuse anymore."

"Why will I refuse?"

"What's your good news? "

"I found out today that Timothy and Sophie not only know each other, they actually slept together. The
time she tried to drug me..."
