    Chapter 46


    Sophia’s fingers dug almost into her flesh, but that pain was nothingpared to the agony at her


    heart.


    Since Jason mentioned that Sophia and George know each other, it was clear he’d thoroughly


    looked into her troubled past with George. Despite being aware of how much George despised her,


    Jason trill chose to push her out to George. Sophia felt that Jason was really heartless,


    For the first time in her life, she learned how painful it was to be treated as a ything! Only the


    heartless are spared from suffering, she thought bitterly.

    “Alright,” she replied through gritted teeth, using all her strength.


    Jason ignored her and sat down directly opposite George.


    Watching his indifferent figure, Sophia closed her eyes briefly and then, with shaky steps, moved


    toward George. With each step closer, she felt like she could hardly breathe, and fear clutched her


    heart tightly.


    When she sat next to George, an arm slowly wrapped around her waist tightly. A profound sense of


    shame tortured her, and she wished the ground would just swallow her up. She felt like all the


    shame she went through before wasn’t muchpared to now.


    She’d firmly turned down George before, yet now, her husband had coldly handed her to him. It was


    absurd and sad.


    “Here’s to us, Mr. Wilson. Let’s toast to our promising coboration, George suggested, lifting his


    ss and winking at Jason across the table.


    He didn’t love Sophia, of course. He just wanted to chip away at Sophia’s pride. Humiliating her in


    front of her husband was perfectly in line with


    his intent.


    Jason nced at George’s arm around Sophia’s waist and unconsciously tightened his grip on his


    ss. He waited for Sophia to plead for his help. “Sure, I like how you get straight to the point. I’m


    looking forward to asting partnership. Whatever you need, just let me know, and I’ll do anything


    to make it happen,” he stated.


    George tightened his hold on Sophia, pulling her to his chest with an evil grin. “You’re too generous,


    Mr. Wilson. But really, the best present is already in my hands. I’m more than pleased; he said


    smugly.


    Jason raised his ss in a toast and then downed it. The spicy liquid spread a burning pain in his


    stomach, stirring an inexplicable irritation. Especially when he saw George’s hand slip under


    Sophia’s hem, he felt a suffocating tightness in his chest.


    This damned woman, why doesn’t she resist? Is she so desperate that any man will do to fill her


    emptiness? Or does she genuinely have a past with George, and my pushing her into his arms is


    exactly what they wanted?‘ he thought angrily.


    George’s hand moved under Sophia’s clothes to her back, his gloomy eyes locked on her with a


    disturbing light. He leaned in close and whispered in her car, “Your husband really is a jerk.” With


    that, he gently bit her earlobe.


    Sophia trembled, feeling sick wherever George touched her. In near panic, she looked over at


    Jason with tear–filled eyes. She moved her pale lips, wanting to beg for help, but the cokbess in his


    eyes made her swallow her words


    Why would he help me when he’s the one who threw me into this nightmare? she wondered.


    Her heart began to throb again, almost overtaking her senses. Without thinking she reached out but


    identally clutched George’s cor
