Chapter 191


    The call was cut. Richard stood there stiffly with the phone for ages, despite no other sounding from


    it, before finally putting it down.


    “Perhaps it really isn’t Sophia who did it. She had just done a great deed for the Harpers. If she really


    wanted to do something to Ka, she wouldn’t have helped out there,” X said none too sincerely.


    At that train of thought, Richard nodded in agreement. Ka’s preconceptions of Sophia were already


    rooted deep into her. It wasn’t her first time lying about her. There was a high chance that things were


    actually like that this time. What if she had broken her own leg? Even when she caught a cold at home,


    Ka still had to insist that Sophia put a curse on her. Besides, the police hade over to investigate


    earlier. They had checked the CCTVs nearby, and there was no proof that it was Sophia’s doing.


    “Richard, rx. I’ll smooth things over with your mother. I won’t let her have the wrong idea about


    Sophia.”


    Seeing how responsible X was, Richard kissed her forehead with his emotions running high. “X,


    your presence in my life is truly the best gift that the heavens have blessed me with.”

    At number 8, The Imperial, Sophia hung up her call with Richard. A te of braised eel with the most


    appetizing aroma was already ced before her. Everyone was leaping for the chance to try the dish;


    after all, a man that had the hearts of millions of girls in his hands had cooked his signature dish for her


    for the first time. The moment the dish hit the table, Sophia immediately reached out to take a piece. He


    was indeed an expert on eel! Even the eel dish he made was extraordinarily delicious!


    At this moment, Michael Fletcher carried Nathan—who was still in the middle of eating—out of the dining


    room and closed the door. When he came back, he brought a bottle of red wine with him. He then lit


    some candles.


    Nathan immediately became mutinous from being locked out of the room. When he sat down again,


    Michael gracefully spread his napkin. “What’s your schedule for the next few days like now that you’ve


    finished your exams?”


    “The campus winter basketball tournament will be held these few days. I’m a member of the university’s


    women’s basketball team, even if I’m just a substitute. There’s still a good chance that I’ll need to step up


    to the field.” Sophia’s words were unclear as she ate. She had signed up for numerous clubs and


    societies in order to avoid Michael back then; in fact, she had forgotten exactly how many she had put


    her name down for. At any rate, the basketball club hade knocking on her door to get her to y.


    Michael nodded. “I see. It’s better to work on all different aspects of yourself. Girls should exercise more


    too. You’ll only be able to be stronger if you do a bit of exercise or dabble in some sports.”


    Sophia nodded fervently. Michael took a sip of wine and then wiped his mouth. “Do you want me to root


    for you during the tournament?”


    Sophia hastily pped her hands. “No, no need for that. Hubby, you’re even busier with work. There’s a


    good chance I won’t be needed on the court anyway!” If Michael came to the tournament to cheer her on


    personally, her identity would most likely be blown in a sh. It would be better to keep things low-key.


    Due to her exams the past few days, Sophia hadn’t been eating or sleeping well. On this day, however,


    she was freed from her torment and was able to eat such delicious food. It was even her first time eating


    an Adonis’s cooking. This was most likely the only time she would get to do it in her lifetime. She loved


    the dish so much that she was close to licking the te clean.


    Michael, on the other hand, ate at a slower pace with graceful bites. As he ate, he openly studied his


    dainty wife sitting across him. She was soft and adorable, making everyone feel like they couldn’t help


    but shower her with affection, but she looked so tiny. She really looked rather child-like. A thought


    suddenly struck him. “Who phoned you just now?” he asked.


    Sophia took a bite of the pork ribs that Michael had marinated with his signature sauce before answering.


    “I broke my ex’s sister’s leg, and he called me to ask if I was the one who did it. Of course I answered


    that I didn’t do it!”


    Michaelughed. What a frank girl!


    Ka’s parents had caught wind of Ka’s broken leg in the end, but X’s silver tongue worked its


    magic to sway them. It was so effective that Mrs. Harper believed that Ka was lying about Sophia. And


    now, none of the Harpers believed Ka’s words. Ever since Madam Harper arranged a few medical


    workers toe care for her daughter, she hadn’t visited her once. Ka was so mad that she went on


    a hunger strike, but even though she had stopped eating, none of the Harpers came to see her. One, the


    Harpers had a huge wreck to handle, and secondly, the Harpers had been gradually losing their trust in


    Ka. They wanted to teach her a lesson so that she wouldn’t ever dare to brazenly do as she wanted


    while beingvished with the Harpers’ adoration.


    X was the only one who still came to see Ka every day. “Ka, I know that you’re upset now that


    no one believes you, but I do. Still, that wretched Sophia is really impressive for having tricked both


    Richard and your parents into turning their backs on you. I spoke up for you yesterday, but Richard


    snapped at me. They were even talking about letting that little shrew into thepany as an intern…”


    X wiped her tears as she spoke.


    Ka had been on her hunger strike for a day already, neither eating nor drinking. Having heard X’s


    words, her eyes reddened out of sheer hatred. She couldn’t contain her tears as she gritted her teeth.


    “As long as I’m still here, that wretch had better not think about taking a step into the Harper Family!”


    X covertly watched Ka’s expression as she continued to wipe her tears. “What else can we do


    now? The entire family’s dancing in her palm from her lies now. No matter what we say, no one’s going to


    listen,” she said with fake concern.


    Ka gave a cold chuckle. “I can’t move due to my broken leg, but when I can finally leave this ce, I


    will kill that b*tch!”


    “Huh?” X seemed to have been shocked by this. She quickly advised Ka against it. “Ka, don’t do


    something stupid. Listen to me and rest well so that you can recover. When you’re better, let’s expose


    that wretch’s true face together!”


    Ka still stood her ground. “Don’t talk me out of this. I must find the most efficient assassin to slice that


    b*tch up into a million pieces!”


    Hire an assassin? Shock and doubt alternated in X’s eyes, as though two thoughts were battling with


    them. She hastily continued to advise Ka, “Ka, please don’t do such a stupid thing. That’s against


    thew!”


    Now that things hade to this, Ka didn’t care whether she was breaking thew or not. All she


    wanted was for Sophia Edwards to die, and she was willing to pay any price for that. Ka really couldn’t


    take it anymore, irritated from having listened to X trying to talk her out of her ns for ages. She


    pushed the mini folding table over. “Get out of my sight!”


    X seemed to have been deeply aggrieved by that as she got up to leave, but she quickly returned and


    closed the door. She was silent for a while, as though she had been mustering her courage, before she


    spoke up. “Ka, since I cannot talk you out of this, then the only thing I can do is to help you!” Then,


    she fished out a name card from her bag. Printed on it was the name Lone Wolf Media Co. Ltd, and its


    general manager’s contact details. There was a QR code on the back of the card. She handed the card


    to Ka and said in a hushed tone, “This is the name card for someone who’s part of an international


    terrorist group. They also take money for hits on people. They’re even willing to kill political guests and


    royalty, and they’ve never failed their missions. Have you heard of the Phantom Wolf?”


    Ka’s eyes lit up in an instant, and X continued to say, “If you really want to kill Sophia, look for


    them. As long as they’re the ones doing it, they definitely won’t fail.” She paused, hesitating. “But Ka,


    you’ve got to think things over carefully. Everyone in that organization is a seasoned, bloodthirsty killer.


    Their boss, the Phantom Wolf, is on the wanted lists of several dozen countries. If you decide to hire


    them, their fees will be exorbitant!”


    At once, Ka let out the most cold-blooded, harshugh. “Even if what they want is my life, I will give it


    to them!”


    X left shortly after she finished giving her advice to Ka. When she reached the hospital’s entrance,


    she found Richard waiting for her. “Richard, I talked with Ka for what seems like forever, and she’s


    finally agreed to eat!” X zoomed toward Richard like a pure and innocent little pixie.


    “X, thank you!”


    Meanwhile, Ka scarfed down arge quantity of food in her room to bring her energy levels up. Once


    she was done, she logged into her Messenger ount and scanned the QR code on the back of the


    calling card.
