Sophia was surprised to find Phoebe comforting her by revealing her own wounds. A bitter feeling surged in her heart. She shouldn't have come to Phoebe. Despite being truly infuriated, her grievances seemed blown out of proporting compared to Phoebe's experiences.She hugged Phoebe. "You don't need to comfort me. I'll gradually come to terms with it. Although I was really angry at the time and said things in the heat of the moment, most of it was based on a misunderstanding.""Well, Elliot is a very pragmatic person. Chester once said he admires Elliot the most because he keeps his emotions hidden and no one can influence him. Now he's completely drawn into the mortal world because of you. He's completely devoted to you, experiencing joy, anger, and jealousy for you.”She continued, “Sophia, this is your blessing. If you divorce, are you willing to see him go to another woman? Do you want to see him embrace another woman and say he loves her?"Sophia frowned and thought for a mom
Elliot comforted her. "Alright, it's my fault. I should reject all women. Tomorrow, I'll change all the women employees in the company to men. Happy now?"Sophia snorted. "This is moral blackmail. Did I ask you to dismiss all women? Wylie has been malicious ever since I've known her. She pushed me into a mud pit the first time we met, and then falsely accused me of starting the fight. "It's not like I'm interfering with your friendships. I just don't like her. Do you think I get jealous like you?"Elliot laughed at her quirky and temperamental behavior.But..."You already knew her?"Sophia said, "Yes. Wylie is the daughter of my alcoholic father and his ex-wife."Elliot suddenly understood. No wonder.He had always found her a bit peculiar since she was usually straightforward with what she liked and disliked.The first time she met Wylie, she directly forbade him from seeing her. He thought it was because of Wylie's coquettish way of addressing him, but there was more to th
Sophia quickly understood that they probably found out about Jackson secretly helping her. She sighed. Jackson wouldn't have gotten beaten up if she had resolved it last night.She walked over and helped him up, asking, "Are you okay?"He clenched his teeth and said, "I'm fine."Amber stared intensely at Sophia as if she wished she could cut her in half. How could she appear unharmed? Elliot had aggressively carried her away.And yet, here she was, seemingly untouched. How was that possible?Sophia had helped Jackson walk toward the couch. The classmates gathered around the couch were also staring at Sophia. Although they knew that Sophia wasn't one to mess with in a one-on-one fight, shouldn't they take a stand with so many of them?No one wanted to appear weak, especially in front of Jackson who had given up his seat for Sophia. So, they hesitated, silently protesting.However, Sophia approached the couch and kicked a male classmate, saying, "Move!"The male classmate gla
Chuck looked at her with a pained expression. "Actually, you've been holding onto the grudge from back then. I've already apologized to you, and didn't you say that the past is in the past?"Sophia sighed softly, "Yes, it's in the past, but haven't you moved on? You still participated in the bet. If you didn't, you wouldn't be in this situation, right? Even though I'm the director, whether you want to participate or not is your own decision, isn't it? How come? You can manipulate others, but others aren't allowed to manipulate you?"Chuck remained silent.Sophia smiled. "Stop being so hypocritical. The choices you make are all your own, just like when you slept with Amber and got infected. Was that my fault? No! This is karma for taking advantage of someone's sincerity!"She helped Jackson up from the couch. "I'll take you to the hospital."Jackson declined. "There's no need for that, I'm not hurt that badly."Sophia held him up while saying, "You got beaten like this because of
Wylie struggled fiercely in the mud pit. Fortunately, the pit was not very deep, so she was not at risk of drowning. However, climbing out was still not an easy task.It took her more than ten minutes to crawl out of the mud pit. She burst into tears when she saw herself in such a miserable state.She knew that Elliot was cold and ruthless, but she always felt that she had a special place in his heart. After all, back in the day, they had reached the stage of discussing marriage. If he did not have feelings for her, how could he have had his grandfather propose to her family?Although she knew that Elliot would investigate the news, she still held a glimmer of hope that he would not do anything to her. She thought, given that she had helped him back then, he wouldn't harm her, right?Little did she know that he knew everything.She thought she could get close to him after his leg healed. However, she discovered that his leg would never recover. So, she decided to leave.She may
In the early hours of the morning, around two o'clock, when most people were asleep, Sophia indeed heard the door opening. To scare him, she had stayed awake, even though she was exhausted.She slightly laughed as she saw Elliot gently open the bedroom door and stealthily walk in. She pretended to be sound asleep as her picked her up from the bed and headed towards his room.Once in his room, just as he was about to put her down, she suddenly said, "It seems like I've found my sleepwalking habit."Elliot was startled. He put her down and quickly turned on the light, looking at her in surprise, "When did you wake up?"Sophia squinted her eyes, ready to hold someone accountable. "I was never asleep in the first place."Elliot was speechless.Sophia pinched him, her expression stern. "So I sleepwalk and he surveillance is broken, right? You seem quite aggrieved, huh?"Elliot had calmed down. Seeing that she didn't seem angry, he simply admitted, "I've gotten used to sleeping with
It was a Thursday, and the alarm went off at six in the morning.Sophia subconsciously snuggled into the blanket, then, after a few movements, she ended up in the arms of a man. Soon, a warm hand covered her ears, and then the alarm was silenced. She blinked and her eyelashes lightly tickled Elliot’s chest. He lifted her chin and pulled her into the covers. "Are you awake?" Sophia stretched under the covers for a while, pouting. "Can I just call Chase and let him entertain himself?" The man did not hesitate at all and agreed, "Sure." Sophia smiled. Although it was tough to get up in the morning, it seemed to become more bearable with his indulgence. "Shouldn’t you persuade me? How can I go back on my word for something I promised?" He patted her soothingly. "Just say you have something urgent and can't make it. It's not like he'll miss that little appearance fee." "It's not about the money. It's a matter of principle."Elliot knew that she was saying this because
There were already two teams of guests seated in the hall. The host welcomed them. "Mr. Morgan, please introduce yourself and your guest." He handed the microphone to Chase.Chase faced the camera. "Hello, everyone. I am Chase, and this is my friend Sophia."It was a very simple introduction. Sophia just nodded slightly toward the camera without saying a word. Chase handed the microphone to the host and led Sophia to their seats among the guests.The other two teams of guests stood up and introduced each other. One was a popular young idol named Kenneth Jones, and the cute girl beside him was Roxanne Clark, who had a sweet dimple in her cheek when she smiled. The other man was a talented actor named Richard Hill, and the woman next to him was very beautiful.Sophia was sure she had seen the woman before, and her suspicion was confirmed when she heard the woman introduce herself."Hi, I'm Mary." Sophia instantly recalled that she was Xena’s twin sister.Perhaps due to
