Sophia's lips curved with a faint smile. "Is it right for you to blame someone else for what you’ve done?"

As she spoke, she looked around casually.

There were three people in the room: two men and a woman.

Naturally, she knew the man sitting at the door, Simon.

The other man inside was probably around forty years old and of average height, with a beer belly. He cleaned up well, but the signs of aging were still apparent.

'This man must be Brandon.'

What surprised her was that there was only one woman in the room, Amber.

She must be the one who went by the online alias Buns Bunny.

‘Looks like she’s made something of herself.’

In just two years, she had become an internet celebrity with thirty million followers, and had even signed with the official TikTok company.

But now, she wanted to terminate the contract. Presumably, she wanted to sign a new contract with Sanford Entertainment.

'So this is the woman Brandon is divorcing Ethel for? But why can’t he can't afford to pay

    Sophia spoke slowly as she saw Brandon's helpless look. "Don't worry. Other people might show you some respect if you say you’re a son-in-law of the Patton family. How could I not know who you are? But you’ve resorted to coercion for another woman. Does your wife know you're acting recklessly like this?"Brandon frowned. So, she did know who he was. He had not taken her seriously as he thought she was just a little girl. He was already showing her some respect by letting her talk.But now, he felt a creepy sensation.Sophia looked at him and smiled. "Just a kind reminder for you, Mr. Brandon. You know it's good for you to have someone in your corner, so you should hold on to them. Is it worth abandoning someone who’s sheltered you for more than a decade for this woman?"Amber was so angry that she wanted to beat Sophia to death. "Stop trying to stir up trouble, Sophia. Mr. Brandon and I have been friends for many years. Do you think you can come between us with just a few words?"

    Sophia glanced at him. "You're quite something. No one will hurt you."Benny chuckled. "What's the matter? I’d sacrifice anything for you, Ms Sophia."Sophia said, "There’s no need for that. I'll find someone myself."Benny's eyes dimmed, but he quickly regained his spirits and said, "How about you wait a while? I'm sure I can find you a couple of guys."Sophia agreed. "Sure." Then she stood up and said, "I'm leaving. Contact me if anything happens."Benny was surprised and asked, "You're leaving already?"Sophia replied, "Yes, it's late, and I have things to do." As she spoke, she walked out.Benny hurriedly followed. "You’ve had a busy day. Let me escort you.""Sure." Sophia did not refuse.As they walked along the corridor toward the exit, Sophia spotted a man. He had strong features, a high nose bridge, and deep, charismatic eyes. He exuded a kind of domineering aura that appealed to her.She raised her chin slightly at him. "Is he one of yours?"Benny nodded. "Yes."

    Sophia entered the house but did not see Elliot. She headed straight to the bedroom when she learned that he was there.She was surprised to see him in the wheelchair. "You're still in that wheelchair even though you’re just in the room?"Elliot stared at her. "You seem really busy."Sophia walked in, pleased that things were going smoothly. She even smiled at him playfully. "What can I say? With great power comes great responsibility!"Elliot asked expressionlessly, "Where did you go? Why are you back so late?"Sophia didn't sense any anger in Elliot's tone. She sat across from him with a playful smile on her face and said, "Guess!"Elliot's expression turned stern. "You didn't let me pick you up or send you back. You come home late every day. You’re my wife. Don’t you feel any sense of responsibility?”Sophia frowned in frustration. 'What is he talking about?'She just had not told him where she had gone. Surely that did not justify this interrogation."What's going on, Elli

    The bright headlights shone, causing a glimmer of hope in her eyes and prompting her to look back. She thought it was a taxi, but only realized it was Elliot's car as it got closer. Instantly more irritated, she turned around and started to walk away.Elliot rubbed his temples. She really had quite the temper. He rolled down the window."Where are you going?"Hmph! Irritated, Sophia did not even acknowledge his presence.Elliot's car followed behind her, his voice slightly louder this time. "Sophia, I'm talking to you!"She continued to ignore him.Elliot turned to Samuel, his driver, and said, "Block her path."Sophia glared at them. "Elliot, are you crazy?""Where are you going?""You have no right to control me!" she huffed."I'm your husband, so I have to take care of you," Elliot responded.Sophia remained irritated and continued to walk. "No thanks! Just take care of yourself!" Elliot was deeply troubled by her behavior. Without hesitation, he opened the door and g

    She remained composed, continuously adjusting the pressure she applied on the woman's wrist. Anyone observing her would admit that she looked unbelievably beautiful at that moment. Daniel looked at Chase inquiringly, who was equally puzzled. He had no idea she had this skill.There was a glimmer of belief in Charles's eyes, inexplicably trusting her. She always managed to surprise people unexpectedly.Adeline glanced at everyone but did not say a word.The two doctors were aware of Sophia's medical abilities. She was almost divine in Eden Hospital, and it would make their job much easier if she could help.As Sophia checked the pulse, she asked, "Has your mother been experiencing significant emotional fluctuations lately?"Chase responded, "Yes, she's been quite depressed and has been crying a lot."Sophia said, "That's the reason why her pulse is weak. Her heart rate slows until it's almost imperceptible. If this continues, it could lead to heart failure. She hasn't been eatin

    The next morning, Sophia secretly checked in on Dorothy before heading to school. As she entered the elevator, she bumped into Charles, who greeted her with a smile. "Good morning," he said.Sophia was a bit surprised. "You didn’t go home last night?"Charles replied, "No, it was too late, so I stayed and slept in the hospital room."Sophia asked, "That lady was your grandmother, right? How is she doing?"Charles nodded. "She's much better. We comforted her last night. She seemed to be in good spirits and even had a bowl of porridge this morning.""That's good," Sophia replied."You stayed at the hospital last night? Are you still working now?" Charles inquired.Sophia did not know how to explain and did not want to argue further. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Sort of."Charles did not press further and suggested, "How about I give you a ride?"Sophia agreed. "Sure." It would save her the trouble of taking a taxi.The two of them went straight to the basemen

    Elliot was silent on the way back, constantly pondering the words Dorothy told him, ‘She isn’t easy to have a good relationship with and isn't readily open to anyone. She’s been hurt and is afraid. When she gives her all to someone but doesn't receive the same sincerity in return, it leads to disappointment. So, she'd rather not have what she can't get, using this way to guard against getting hurt.' 'Didn't you notice she's already getting used to you?' Indeed, he felt it too. Why else would she be busy rushing around? Why else would she agree to help teach Brandon a lesson? Wasn't it all because of her? She was right. His grandmother had given her all the good things and yet did not speak to her so condescendingly, so why should he? He had been too eager, too desperate to occupy a place in her heart.A phone rang. Samuel glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was the person he sent to investigate Sophia last night. He answered the call.A man's voice could be heard. “Bro

    Later, Sophia went to inspect the house she had set her sights on at noon. Every aspect of this house pleased her.It was a 120-square-meter residence with two bedrooms and two living rooms that was spacious enough, with meticulous decor. Most importantly, it was a brand-new, fully furnished house.With a smile, she said to the salesperson, “Alright, I'll take this one.”The salesperson was excited, but the sales manager called her over just before settling the contract and payment.Sophia grew anxious as the two of them huddled together in discussion. “Can I sign the contract now?”The salesperson returned, looking somewhat crestfallen. She liked this young lady but could not resist the pressure from higher-ups. She regretfully explained, “Ms. Sophia, I'm really sorry, but we can't sell you this house.”Sophia frowned, “Why?”The salesperson replied, "Our manager just sold this house a moment ago, and at double the price."Sophia's anger flared up instantly. “When was it sold?

    “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,
