Chapter 16

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Was the young master of a wealthy family’s way of hitting on people so old-fashioned?

Moreover, George’s goal was so obvious that Sophia did not intend to give him an opportunity to take advantage of it.

“I don’t have a boyfriend,” she said coldly. “But my husband is quite outstanding. Mr. Louder, do you want to get to know him? I can introduce you.”

“Cough cough, sure! Ms. Sophia is really a maverick!” George was not angry. Instead, he smiled happily.

Not far away, Jessica witnessed everything with her own eyes.

At this moment, she clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth as she looked at George and Sophia chatting happily. She said angrily, “B * tch, you still say you’re not here to look for a man! She actually stole a man and snatched him over my head! I won’t let you off!”

“Sophia!” Leighton was finally back, and Sophia heaved a sigh of relief. If she had not returned, Sophia would not have known how to continue chatting with this young master in front of her.

He did not know what other strange questions the other party would ask.

Sophia quickly took the opportunity to say, “I’m sorry, Mr. Louder. My friend is here. Excuse me.”

After saying that, she quickly left, afraid that she would be dragged by Mr. Louder if she walked slowly.

George looked at Sophia’s back as she left in a hurry and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Sofia, wasn’t that the young master of the Louder family? Look at you guys talking and laughing? Why? He likes you?” Leighton’s gossipy heart rose.

“No, we just met Jessica and almost got into a fight. Mr. Louder came over to stop us.” Sophia said calmly.

But before Sophia could finish, Leighton exploded in anger. She said angrily, “Alright, this Jessica is really ugly. She even dared to cause trouble at Gao Rui’s party. She wanted to hit someone? I’ll beat her until she kneels and begs for mercy!”

“Alright! You also know that this is Gao Rui’s party. Stop fooling around!”

“By the way, didn’t you go to look for that relative? Did you find it?” Sophia didn’t want to talk about Jessica, so she quickly changed the topic.

“Don’t mention it!” Leighton was both angry and annoyed. He didn’t even come. To think that I didn’t take a good look at my idol’s handsome appearance in order to find him.”

Sophia smiled. “Alright, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Anyway, I work in Gao Rui. If you miss your idol, come and take a look!”

Of the two of them, one was planning to come to the party to find a lawyer, and the other was planning to visit her Prince Charming.

In the end, she couldn’t find her lawyer, and neither did she see her idol.

They all felt that it would be boring if they stayed any longer.

Therefore, the two of them planned to go back directly.

On the second floor of the banquet hall, James leaned against the railing and watched Sophia’s every move.

Her makeup, hair, and clothes today looked very good!

She couldn’t be allowed to act alone like this in the future!

Especially in an occasion with many men, it was too dangerous!

George followed his gaze and teased, “Aiya, you’ve really blossomed. I’ve never seen you treat any woman like this!”

“However, it’s understandable. This Sophia is really a fascinating woman..” George quickly shut his mouth.

Anger had already appeared in James’ eyes.

George had reason to believe that James would hit him if he said another word.

Sophia and Leighton separated after the party.

Sophia said that she was going back to cook.

Leighton originally wanted to go for a free meal and see what Sophia’s cheap husband looked like.

However, she couldn’t resist the chain of calls in the work group. Her boss and colleagues all called her for a meeting.

Leighton shook his head. “Looks like I can’t have a feast today. I’ll definitely come another day.”

Sophia smiled.

Sophia was in a good mood with Leighton. She smiled and walked home.

But on the way, he felt like someone was following him, but when he turned around, he couldn’t see anyone suspicious.

Sophia shook her head and thought to herself that perhaps it was because of the incident at the hospital entrance that left a psychological scar on her.

Speaking of which, it was all thanks to James.

Thinking of this, Sophia picked up her phone and called James. She wanted to ask when James would be back and what he wanted to eat. She would cook.

“Ah!” As soon as the call went through, Sophia was grabbed by a black shadow that suddenly appeared from behind.

Sophia struggled weakly, but the other party was too strong. He covered her mouth and dragged her, but it was useless.

He could only watch as he was dragged away, but he couldn’t even shout for help.

After being dragged to a place where no one was around, the criminal threw Sophia on the ground.

Sophia was dizzy from the fall.

Before Sophia could react, the criminal took out a shining dagger and pressed it against Sophia’s neck.

Sophia suddenly felt her heart stop beating.

She did not even dare to breathe too hard.

Sophia looked at the criminal, mustered up her courage, and said in a calm tone, “I’m sorry. Before you kill me, can you tell me why? I, I don’t want to die for no reason.”

After saying that, Sophia’s tears fell uncontrollably.

The criminal looked at Sophia and frowned. He said in a low voice, “I won’t kill you, but someone told me to destroy your face.”

“So, if you cooperate well, we can end this as soon as possible, and I won’t hurt any other parts of your body. But if you don’t listen to me, then I won’t be polite!”

Hearing this, Sophia quickly calmed down. This criminal didn’t seem to be a cold killer.

She mustered up her courage and said, “You, wait. I don’t think you’re a bad person. You must have been used by a bad person. Do you need money? If you let me go, I’ll give you double! Alright? Please let me go.”

Sure enough, the criminal hesitated after hearing Sophia’s words.

Sophia quickly continued, “Listen to me. You took money from others, but you hurt me. That’s illegal. You’re still young and have a bright future. You shouldn’t go on the road of breaking the law.”

“But if you let me go, I’ll give you twice the money. You don’t have to break the law.”

The criminal’s expression changed. Just as Sophia thought that she had convinced the criminal, she was shocked.

He suddenly gripped his dagger tightly and said coldly, “If I don’t do anything and get double the commission, I’d be afraid! So, I’ll do something!”

With that, he picked up the dagger and stabbed Sophia.
