Charles frowned almost imperceptibly and did not utter a word."If that’s the case, I’m sure you can tell me whether Soph’s pregnancy is real or fake." Yvette rubbed her brows and said.Charles dropped his gaze. "It’s real."Yvette sighed inexplicably. After a long period of time, she said, “If you face something that you can’t solve, then don’t act tough and pretend like you can."Charles hummed faintly. Then, he got up and said, "I'm leaving now.""You’re going to see Soph?" Yvette asked.Charles nodded, pushed the door open, and got out of the car.Yvette's expression was exceedingly complicated when she stared at Charles’ departing back. She picked up her phone and dialed a number. "Check the hospital records and see if Soph is..."She stopped talking halfway through. After the person on the other end of the call asked a few questions, she struggled for a moment and said, "Forget it."Then, she hung up the call.*The White family’s villa.Two years later, the villa had

Watching his departing back, Sophia furrowed her brows harder and harder. Then, she pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and entered the villa as well."What did you say to make your brother so mad?" Nicole asked her. "He came back with an awful look on his face just now and entered the room while slamming the door without saying anything!"Sophia twitched her lips. "... Nothing.""Did you tell Sterling to leave you alone again?" Nicole sighed and asked, staring at her.Sophia lowered her head and licked her dry lips without saying a word.Nicole glanced at James and Jenny who were sitting next to her. They were having a cold war with each other. Nicole said, "Soph, don’t say things like that to your brother anymore. We will be no different than the rest if we leave you alone."Sophia frowned. “Nicole, I…”"That’s enough." Nicole cut her off, smiled, and said, "Your brother slammed the door just now and woke Jenna and Lennie up. You haven't met them yet, right? Let’s go upst

Sophia raised her eyebrows, walked up to him in a few steps, and said sarcastically, "The Jones family drove you into a corner? How?"James looked at the bone-piercingly cold hatred in her eyes and took a step back unknowingly."Didn't you break off ties with me because Charles threatened you? Why are you putting all the blame on the Jones family now? You don’t have the guts to criticize Charles in front of his face?" Sophia took another step forward. Her gaze was locked on his face like a magnet.Her aggressiveness put James in a tight spot. He looked at her with a frown. "Charles is still here, do you even know what you’re talking about?""The truth," Charles said before Sophia could answer.James smiled awkwardly, not making a sound."Let's go, I want to go back." Sophia paused, then added, "... to eat the food you cook."James could barely control the expression on his face when he heard the last sentence. A look of clear stupefaction was shown on his face."Okay." Charles

Leah bit her lip, dropped her head, and wiped her tears."She’s the one who made a mistake. Why isn’t she apologizing?" William was already infuriated by Master Lewis and Tiffany’s marriage to begin with. Seeing his sister getting bullied over and over again caused his anger to flare up.Master Lewis frowned and called out to him. His countenance looked fairly grim.Flames of anger spiked in William when he saw this. The flames rushed along his limbs and bones, almost driving him crazy. "She mocked Leah's legs openly, hurled profanities, and even attacked her in front of so many people!"Grandpa, why are you marrying such an uneducated licentious woman? Do you know that your marriage to her has turned the Lewis and Jones families into a laughing stock?! You..."Smack!Master Lewis slapped William across the face and roared, "Shut up! She’s still your nominal grandmother!"Tiffany held Master Lewis' arm in hers and leaned on him smugly. "You’re the best, honey. Thanks for having

Leah's body stiffened as the blood on her face vanished little by little after hearing what he said."Charles is the one who wants to break off the marriage contract," Mr. Jones said and continued, "Master Harris said he couldn't stop him and expressed his regret for not being able to form a marriage alliance with the Jones family. He also said that if you ever change your mind and want to marry someone else from the Harris family, he will be more than happy to take you in as his granddaughter-in-law."Madam Jones' eyes widened gradually as she asked incredulously, “Charles actually broke off the marriage contract with such a nice person like Leah? What exactly is he thinking?""Just be quiet," Mr. Jones said to Madam Jones after seeing the wan look on Leah’s face.Madam Jones mumbled a few words and looked at Leah with a look of concern."Leah, Justin is no worse than Charles. Besides, he has always been interested in you. Why don’t you..." Mr. Jones persuaded.Before he could f

The scene of Charles draping his suit jacket on her and the way he looked when his soaked blouse stuck to his body emerged in her mind repeatedly, making it even harder for her to fall asleep.Click!Sophia turned on the bedside lamp, sat up, got out of the bed with a grim look on her face, and walked to the door. She remembered that Charles would usually have a medicine kit prepared. The medication for fever might be in there.After she held the doorknob, twisted it, and opened the door, she did not walk out. Instead, she closed the door again.What did his fever and illness have anything to do with her?Sophia laid back on the bed with a tense face. She curled up underneath the blanket and wrapped her arms around her knees. Then, she wrinkled her brows and closed her eyes.She hardly slept through the night.Sophia sat up with a headache, put on her shoes, and went downstairs at a pace that was slightly faster than usual. When she saw the empty couch in the living room, her te

Justin straightened up his back and stood up. "You’re still so blunt when you have nothing left. I really admire you, Charles.""You will admire me even more in the future," Charles said with a smile, "Sophia is pregnant and gets hungry easily. Mr. Dennis will be here, so I will accompany Sophia to have lunch first."Justin clicked his tongue. "I hope you can still be like how you are right now after a period of time, Charles.""I’m counting on that." Charles entered the restroom, grabbed Sophia's coat, and put it on her, then took her hand and walked out with her.Justin sneered and sat down again, ordering the employees in the office, "Chop chop, everybody. Grandpa is in a hurry to get this done."Sophia and Charles walked out of Harris Corporation together. A cool breeze blew and awakened her considerably. She swung his hand away and walked toward the car."You shouldn't have lied and said that you’re pregnant," Charles said suddenly, following behind her.Sophia dropped her

The few girls looked at each other and nodded, not understanding what was going on. One of them even told him the name of the movie with a look of bewilderment on her face. “Okay.” Charles returned to the queue.After the man in front of him was done buying tickets, Charles said to the ticket booth employee, “How many tickets are left for ‘The Flying Man’? I want them all.”“Wh-What?” the employee stuttered.Charles repeated his request amidst the sound of discussion from the people behind him. “I’m buying the entire show for everyone watching the film today.”He turned back and his gaze fell on the few girls there. “Except for these few girls who were badmouthing my girlfriend, everyone else is allowed to see the film.”The few girls were stunned at his words. All they could do was stare while all those queuing up behind them walked into the theatre happily.“Mr. Ha… Mr. Harris, you can’t do this!” One of the girls was now red in the face.Charles did not argue with her. All

The other woman replied with a look of contempt, “Were we? Are you sure you aren’t hearing things? You’re pretty popular right now. People are badmouthing you everywhere. Who knows, it could be the people next to your table gossiping about you!”Sophia laughed softly as she picked up a glass from the table, pouring hot water into it.“What are you doing?” the woman suddenly shouted with a terrible look on her face.Sophia made the action of splashing water onto her, and the woman was so frightened. She backed away and ended up sitting on the floor with a pale look on her face.Sophia swirled the water in the glass and said stoically, “It’s okay to gossip about me, but don’t do it in front of me. I don’t like listening to any of it. Murderers like me don’t really have a great temper. You better be nice, pretty lady, or I can’t guarantee if this hot water will end up splashing your face or not.”The man was so shocked with fear at this scene that he did not move at all. He could onl

Sophia did not stay long. She left after the meal and prepared to purchase a phone. It was inconvenient to do anything without a phone. There were still people pointing fingers at her along the way. She wondered if there could be other reasons that none of them dared to let her overhear their gossip.Tat.Tat.Tat.The sound of a man’s footsteps followed consistently behind her.Sophia initially wanted to ignore him, but he had followed her all the way to the front of the phone shop. She turned back with a cold expression. “Mr. Jones, is it fun following me for this long?”“Are you the only one allowed to take this route? Who says I can’t use this route?” William stared at her with his fists clenched. Sophia smirked and turned to walk into the phone shop while he followed behind her and entered as well.“I’d like this model, please. Thank you,” Sophia simply picked a phone model and headed to the counter to make the payment. William was still following behind her, but she se
