Brandon’s gaze naturally followed his ex-wife, and then he saw a familiar figure.

Wasn't that person Sophia, the boss of Amber's former agency?

How did Ethel know her?

His mind felt like it had ground to a halt. He felt as though he could see a pattern emerging, but he could not yet figure it out.

Had he been manipulated all along?

The compensation he gave to Amber was indeed handed over to Sophia, right?

If Sophia knew Ethel, this meant that Ethel had known about his affair for a long time.

So, had she set a trap for him?

Did she actually allow him to have an affair with Amber and watch him pay the compensation, all while quietly collecting evidence to divorce him and make him leave with nothing?

He had really underestimated her.

But if this was the case, was Amber also part of Ethel’s arrangement?

Amid his thoughts, he saw Amber getting into a car.

He walked over and grabbed her by the wrist. "Did Ethel arrange for you to have an affair with me?"

Amber now had nothing bu

    Sophia spoke while trying to call Phoebe again, as if to verify her suspicion. Phoebe's phone was turned off, and Sophia became extremely anxious.Elliot tried to calm her down. "Don't worry too much. It may not be what you think."Sophia looked to him for reassurance. "If it's not what I think it is, why did she turn her phone off?"Elliot had no answer to this. Indeed, all the signs seemed to be heading in the direction of Sophia’s suspicions."I'll call Chester and ask if he's with Phoebe."He called, but there was no answer. The call did not even go to voicemail. Sophia stopped him. "Stop calling him. He's never been reliable anyway.""I'll send someone to check on her.” He called the guards at the villa. "Go and see if anyone is next door. Hurry."The guard acted immediately without even hanging up. The call captured the sound of his running footsteps as he left. Sophia urged the driver again, "Faster, please."After a short while, the guard's voice came through th

    Sophia leaned against Elliot. "Do you think she'll be okay?"Elliot tried to reassure her. "She'll be fine."Sophia suddenly remembered a problem. "Elizabeth has a rare blood type, and so does Phoebe. Given her critical condition, she must need a blood transfusion."She quickly opened her phone and posted an urgent request on Twitter. "Relative injured, urgently need RH-negative blood. Hope kind-hearted individuals can help. Generous reward offered. Location: Eden Hospital."She also included her contact number.Then, she called Simon. "Spread the urgent request I just posted across all platforms in Phoenix, as soon as possible."In less than three minutes, the information went viral.The blood type was indeed rare, but user activity on the app is substantial. Sophia received several responses from willing blood donors.Of course, there were also those who immediately asked about compensation, and Sophia told them to name their price.When they arrived at the hospital, thre

    Elliot grabbed Chester to a secure passage and began to beat him.Chester did not respond to the punches.After more than ten minutes, Elliot knocked Chester to the ground, looking down on him. "Chester, I’m warning you. This is the last time. If you dare to treat her like this again, we’re done."Chester wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Wow, hoes before bros, eh?"Elliot responded, "Sophia is my wife.""Do you still expect me to play nice toward someone who stole my brother-in-law?""I chose to marry her. Sophia didn’t do anything wrong, and she doesn't have time to sow discord. What happened between you and Phoebe is the result of your own actions. If you still have feelings for her, you should be grateful for Sophia because she has saved your wife several times. If you don't have feelings for her, you should act like a man and just let her go.”Elliot continued, “Don't let Sophia worry about you. She spends all her time trying to fix your broken affairs. I don't

    Sophia’s anger soared.No wonder Phoebe chose to commit suicide.Chester once again had Phoebe give blood to Elizabeth, and it happened during the period when she was recovering after her miscarriage. How ruthless could he be?How desperate must Phoebe have been to choose the path of suicide?The angrier she got, the calmer her voice became. "Phoebe is in critical condition. How can she come now?"Mrs. Bash snorted in derision. "Didn't she survive? If she really wanted to die, would anyone even know about her?""Mrs. Bash!" Elizabeth sternly reprimanded. "Watch what you're saying."She then looked at Sophia. "Is Phoebe okay?"Sophia, with her hands in her pockets, coldly said, "She had a miscarriage recently and to slit her wrists in her bathtub. It’s uncertain if she'll even wake up at this point.""Ah, why would she be so desperate?"Elizabeth sounded regretful, but there was no hint of regret in her eyes.Sophia did not want to stay any longer. She understood Elizabeth qu

    Elliot said in a low voice, "Where did you go?" "I went to ask Daniel something, and I'll be back soon." "I'll wait for you." After hanging up the phone, Sophia stood up to leave. Daniel also stood up anxiously. "Are you leaving already?" "Yes, Elliot is waiting for me." “Are you guys getting along well?" Daniel asked. Sophia hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Pretty well." Daniel took a deep breath, his gaze burning as he stared at her. "Do you plan to turn this fake marriage into a real one?" "I haven't decided yet." Daniel’s voice was somewhat urgent. "Even if he can stand up to them, the Patton family is powerful and complicated. Carelessness could cost you your life. You really need to think it through.""Don't worry, Daniel. I will consider it carefully. I'll be going now." She turned and walked out quickly. Daniel, calmly sat back in his chair, muttering to himself. "Even so, can't you think of me?"

    Elliot walked in holding a tray with milk and toast. "I knew you were still awake.”Sophia smiled. "How did you know?""Your light is still on." He placed the tray down and handed her the milk. "Drink up and go to bed. It's already late."Sophia took it, checked the time, and said, "It's only a little past eleven.""It's still late. If you can't sleep, come to my room.”"Don’t I sleepwalk into your room every day? Why? Are you getting impatient now?"Elliot laughed and shamelessly nodded. "Yes."She candidly saluted at him. "I concede defeat!"Elliot playfully flicked her forehead. "Drink this and go to sleep."Sophia frowned. "I'm investigating Elizabeth’s car accident."Elliot sighed. "Do you really have to get involved in this matter?""At first, I really didn't want to interfere as you suggested. But, as you saw, Chester is tormenting Phoebe. If I don't help her, no one else will." She took a bite from the piece of toast. "How can I eat the bread she baked for me with

    The two drivers exchanged a glance. Their eyes were filled with confusion, seemingly surprised that Sophia was approaching them for this matter. In their understanding, such an incident would have been handled as an ordinary accident at the police station. They had paid the fine and agreed to a private settlement, so why was there another wave of people involved?The chubby driver nonchalantly said, "We don't know anyone named Elizabeth."As the words fell, he distinctly heard Sophia click her tongue. She spoke again, "I'd advise you to make the most of the opportunity you have been given!"However, these words had no effect on them. After all, they were professionals in the art of deception.They maintained an indifferent attitude and said, "We don't understand what you're talking about. Let us go quickly. You wouldn't want to the police to get involved, right?"Seeing their unyielding attitude, Jason stepped forward and kicked each of the drivers, saying, "Answer the questio

    Chester did not grab her again. “Give me the antidote, and I won't touch you.”Sophia sneered at his arrogance. "Do you think you can move like this?"She walked straight to the bed and said to Phoebe, "Do you see? You should make people like him suffer so much that they want to die. Instead you tried to kill yourself, leaving them to have their happily ever after."Chester did not quite understand, but it did not take him long to get what Sophia meant.He started to feel numb all over. It started in his fingers, then spread to his arms and legs. He felt as though his entire body was being pricked by countless needles.He looked at Sophia in astonishment. "What have you done to me?"Sophia pulled a chair and sat down. Her eyes were cold and indifferent. "I often wonder why the Morgan family is so smart, including your younger generation, Charles and Adeline. Why are you the only one who is so foolish? Elliot has always spoken up for you, saying that you're just confused, alth

    “Ah, no!” Sophia instinctively reached out to catch it, but the phone narrowly missed her fingers. So, she just watched as he tossed the telephone into the bushes.Sophia was infuriated. "Brother, you haven't sung for me yet?"Kyle looked at her. "Time's up.""Time's up for what? You big liar."As she spoke, she balled her fists and attacked him.Although she was no match for Kyle in martial arts, he couldn't fight her in such a confined space. So, Kyle found himself somewhat helpless in this narrow space.He grabbed both her hands with his big hands and pinned her legs with his, leaving Sophia unable to move her limbs.Frustrated, she aimed her head at Kyle and lunged forward. Kyle instinctively dodged. Sophia's little head directly hit his chest.Thud.It felt like a forty-pound hammer hitting his chest, causing Kyle to start coughing on the spot. He was truly at a loss. She was too much to handle, using every trick in the book.With one hand rubbing his sore chest and the

    At that moment, it seemed like the world came to a standstill. The man and the woman at the door were so scared they hardly dared to breathe. How dare this woman. How could she slap Kyle?They sneakily glanced at Kyle's reddened face, wishing they could disappear. They were afraid they'd face his wrath, too.Kyle also couldn't believe what he was seeing. This little drunkard in front of him wasn't speaking gently or acting cute, and instead of calling him brother, she slapped him. He was furious. At that moment, he had already thought of where to bury this woman.However, Sophia didn't seem to realize the seriousness of hitting someone. She suddenly jerked her wrist and broke free from the man's grasp. Whether it was because she used too much force or because she was drunk and couldn't control her strength, she stumbled and fell on her rear.This fall was solid, and she couldn't help but cry in pain, "Ow!"Tears streamed down her face.Kyle was bewildered for a moment. The anger

    Sophia felt helpless. This man's schemes ran too deep. He didn't reveal anything useful. The two drank one glass after another from seven in the evening until ten at night. Sophia's head was spinning.She had been trying to limit herself, taking small sips each time. Unfortunately, her tolerance for alcohol was quite poor. Her gaze was unfocused, and the man opposite her seemed to blur into duplicates. She knew deep down that she was drunk. It was frustrating. When would her tolerance improve?"Are you deliberately trying to get me drunk to see me embarrass myself?" Kyle lounged carelessly. "I didn't know your alcohol tolerance was so poor."Sophia snorted softly in her heart. Ignorance was truly unbelievable. She even suspected that this man had seen her drunk before. Otherwise, why insist on drinking with her? She needed to control herself now; otherwise, her stingy husband at home would be infuriated.So she just slumped onto the table, motionless.Kyle chuckled. "Are you dru

    Kyle compromised, "Alright, I won't touch you."Sophia sternly commanded, "Get off."Kyle slowly got up from her.Sophia's piece of porcelain against his neck remained unmoved, her little face tense.Kyle sat up and waved to remove the hand threatening his neck, "Alright, if I bleed, you lose your life. Do you think I'm afraid of such a broken thing like you?"He knocked away the piece of porcelain in Sophia's hand, but she didn't pick it up. Instead, she said softly, "I know you're not afraid. As the top boss of the Netherworld Palace, what kind of woman can't you have? But it's not worth it to ruin the mood just to sleep with a woman, don't you think?"Kyle looked at her and smiled. Far from diminishing with Sophia's various rudeness, the interest in his eyes only intensified.He stretched out his long arm and grabbed Sophia's nape, pulling her closer. The two were close enough to hear each other breathe.There was a determined smile in his eyes. "I like smart girls."Sophia

    Kylie smirked. "So, how else do you want me to repay you?"But Sophia couldn't shake the feeling that his smile seemed somewhat sinister.Kyle wasn't the kind of person to easily agree. Could it be true that she had saved him?After contemplating, she said, "For example, a substantial monetary reward, a direct increase in shares and equity, or at the very least, treating me to a meal would suffice.“But instead, you kidnapped me, restricted my movements, and now you're telling me it's repayment? Did I perhaps drown your son in a well in a past life, prompting you to repay me in such a unique way?"He was left bewildered by Sophia's rapid-fire words. What was this woman talking about?After a good while, he finally grasped the gist of her words. "Alright, let's go. I'll treat you to a meal."Sophia looked at him, surprised that he was so easy to persuade. She took advantage of the situation and added, "Then first, give back the phone to your lifesaving benefactor."Kyle replied,

    Elliot searched the inside and out of the car. He indeed found a box of acupuncture needles tucked away in a corner. His wife always had a habit of carrying a box of acupuncture needles with her, not for self-defense, but for saving others.However, this box had yet to be opened, proving that the skills of the person they were dealing with surpassed hers. Otherwise, she wouldn't have missed the chance to use the needles.It seemed that this car was indeed the right one.He looked at the dirt road ahead, with tracks from two vehicles. One was a regular sedan, and the other looked like an off-road vehicle.But no more surveillance cameras were ahead, so they wondered if the cars had turned back or continued forward.He relayed the situation to Avery once again. Avery began to investigate, checking every detail of the vehicle information provided by Elliot. At this point, the police, Samuel, and his team arrived one after the other.Since there were no surveillance cameras in this a

    "Mary," Paisley called out each word, but then her throat seemed to constrict, and she couldn't say anything more. Tears welled up in her eyes.Lucas also felt anguished. "We're sorry, Mary, but we haven't wronged you."Mary sneered, "If you haven't, how did I end up in this situation today? You both are incompetent parents. What's the point of arguing? You only have two daughters. Can't you treat us equally?"Paisley was truly enraged by her words. "How have I not treated you equally? Mary was just being clever. Perhaps I inadvertently praised her, but I never said you were bad, did I? Just because of this, you want to abandon Mary?“Are you even human? After you went missing, I couldn't eat or sleep peacefully. Every night was spent in tears. I knew you suffered a lot, and surviving wasn't easy, so when I found out it was Mary who made you disappear, I resented her deeply.“I did everything to make it up to you, even at the cost of hurting Mary. I sided with you unreasonably. Is

    Xena viciously grabbed her by the collar, preparing to take her back for further interrogation. However, many policemen suddenly burst in through the door.The secretary followed closely behind, explaining, "Officers, hurry and arrest Xena. She forced her way in."Xena frowned. Assessing her situation, she forced Mary to sit in the boss's chair, a dagger held against her sister's neck. The room was marked with signs of struggle, with blood spattered across the floor.In this situation, she could hardly argue her innocence. But she instinctively explained, "She locked up my parents and wouldn't tell me where they were. I just wanted to question her."The police officers' expressions hardened, their tone brooking no refusal. "Take her away!"Two officers stepped forward and seized her. Xena complied, offering no resistance or excuses, obediently following the police.Another officer glanced at Mary. "Are you alright?"Mary seemed shaken, clutching her neck. After calming herself,
