Chapter 265 - Video chat (2) (1/2)

Sophia changed the topic. ”About the other thing we are looking into... Sarah, Aiden, did you find anything more related to leak of designs from BIDSEC?”

”We didn't find anything else leaked. But that does not mean that they didn't use non-electronic means of getting their hands-on designs... There are also other possibilities that can happen and make us to miss matches. For example, if they changed the name of design how they did with MX31, it would be impossible for us to match it as a stolen one. Of course, we can match the diagrams but if there is even a slightest change between two, again it would not be considered as a match. Unfortunately, that is a limitation we are dealing with because comparisons between two are done automatically. But if we do it manually, it would take a lot of time, and I don't think it's worth it.” Sarah explained.

Sophia thought about it for some time before responding. ”Agreed. There is no point in getting us delayed because of that. Jeff, when you acquire them, you will let Felix look at all their designs you find. Felix will work with you. Based on our initial talk, any designs found in their possession will belong to Orion Enterprise.”

Jeff nodded in agreement.

Sophia asked Jeff to share his status. ”How is your progress with plan of acquisition?”

”In few days I will send you the final plan. I started moving assets on Monday.”

”Nice.” Sophia was happy to hear that Jeff already started his part.

”Sarah, Aiden, how about you?” Sophia was on top of it, making sure no one is missed.

”If all goes as expected, we will have Philip next weekend.” Sarah responded.

”Be careful.” JoAnna reminded her. She still remembers how Sarah ended up in hospital after meeting with Philip. No one wants Sarah to end up in such a state again.

JoAnna and Sophia tried to persuade Sarah to give up on doing anything dangerous, but Sarah was persistent.

”I'm not going to be alone this time.” Sarah reassured her.

They discussed details and timelines about handling of Ed, Philip and their illegal activities. Conclusion was that they are almost ready to act. While Jeff finalizes his plans on how to take over their companies, they will take on Gregory Light.

Sophia was happy to work with her sisters, it made them come closer together as a family. Addition of their men was a bonus. She thought how maybe six of them should form a company or some kind of organization of their own so that they handle criminals who are above the law. There is always plenty of people who can buy themselves 'out of jail' tickets by bribing off officials or knowing powerful individuals and using their connections... they could handle those scoundrels easily and earn a nice profit while doing it. Sophia took a note to think about this idea in more details later.

”Anything else?” Sophia asked before ending the call.

”We got photographed today.” Jeff mentioned.

Sophia was alerted. She knows that Jeff takes his privacy seriously, and it's not convenient for JoAnna to be publicized at this time. ”When? By whom? Is it something that can be used against you?”

Jeff shook his head. ”Just lunch... There was two of them. I got one, photographer is associated with a tabloid from LA. But second one escaped. It might be nothing, but I still wanted to give you a heads-up.”

”Sure, thanks... OK. Good night, everyone.” Sophia logged off.
