Chapter 554


    During an emotional moment, they hugged each other and cried. Their love, which was as deep as the


    sea, was very moving. After that, Joe appeared too. Expressing his grief about what happened to the


    Huffs, he announced that since X had lost both her parents, he and the Edwards Family would now be


    her closest family.


    Upon hearing those words, X burst into tears on the spot. Even therge pair of shades she wore


    could not conceal her emotions… After the press conference, the public opinion toward X changed.


    The public praised them for the strength of their feelings and bonds toward each other. However, nobody


    knew what Richard and Joe were feeling inside.


    Michael was sitting in the living room and reading a fashion magazine. At the same time, he sneaked


    nces at the expression on Sophia’s face after watching the press conference—it was an extremely


    pleased expression. She is so happy that it’s insane! At the same time, she is so psychotic that it’s


    adorable! Oh, my lovely wife! Even when you’re crazy, you’re still so adorable!


    After watching the press conference, she saw that the Harpers and the Edwards had left the scene.


    Thus, Sophia called up Richard to express her concern as his ex-girlfriend. She even put the call on


    loudspeaker. The moment the call connected, Richard’s ear-splitting roar reverberated throughout the


    entire living room. “Sophia Edward, you b*tch! You damn b*tch! I hope you rot in hell!”


    Richard was going mad with anger. Yesterday, X had suddenly appeared with a bunch of documents


    to ckmail him. She threatened to expose the evidence unless he reinstated her as the young


    mistress of the Harper Family.


    How could he possibly allow her to return?! Not only did she sleep with Mr. Murphy, but she had also


    been raped by Joe too. Even all the men in the Edwards residence had already slept with her! She was


    as repulsive as a maggot! Just by living under the same roof as her, he felt sick to the stomach, let alone


    sleeping in the same bed as her.


    To his shock, she not only had those documents in hand but also the shareholding certificate for 7% of


    the Harper Group’s shares. If the information in her hands were exposed to the public, he, the Harpers,


    and the Edwards would all die together! Therefore, he had a rough guess of what had happened!


    Sophia and X must have coborated! Those documents were prepared by Sophia! As a result, he


    was tempted to strangle both X and Sophia to death. However, he didn’t dare to touch any one of


    them. He knew that if either one of them died, the information on him would be exposed to the public—


    his fatal weakness was in the hands of his enemies.


    Nowadays, the Harper Residence felt like it was covered in heavy miasma. The moment X returned,


    she had gotten into a huge quarrel with Mrs. Harper. She even went so far as to hit Mrs. Harper! And, if


    Mrs. Harper so much as said something upsetting, she threatened to expose the Harpers’ dirty secrets!


    Therefore, he could only suffer silently and resign to his fate. For her sake, he had stepped on many


    toes, spent a lot of money, and even held a press conference. With the knowledge that she had cheated


    hanging over his head, he had to hug this foul-smelling woman and pretend to be loving during the press


    conference. Moreover, he felt as if he was soaking in a dung pit all the time. Whenever he opened his


    mouth to breathe, his nose, eyes, and mouth were filled with sh*t. As long as X was there, even the


    air stank horribly! And, all of this happened because of Sophia!


    Hence, he was so furious that he was about to explode, and all the vicious words that he knew spewed


    out of his mouth. “You horrible, disgusting woman! You’re a slutty whore who sleeps around with old


    men! I hope you rot in hell! I can’t wait to crush your bones into powder! I’m going to use your ashes to


    make a toilet! Just you wait! I’ll kill you someday! I’m going to kill you!


    How dare you give all those documents to that b*tch?! Did you think you could use her to get rid of


    me?! Haha. You got it wrong! That b*tch is so wretched that she came crawling back to me with those


    documents! That 7% shareholding of yours has gone to waste! It will be mine soon! Haha. You


    never imagined that, did you?! Your perfect n was ruined by such a repulsive wench! Serves you


    right!”


    When he finished his rant, he panted heavily. Then, Sophia finally spoke up with a bright smile. “Your


    wife slept with Mr. Murphy before. Moreover, she was seen by all of Cethos! Besides, I didn’t sleep


    around; your wife did. She slept with Joe, the bodyguards at the Edwards residence, the driver, the chef,


    and even the sewer cleaners! She slept with all of them! But, you can’t divorce her!

    I knew she was going to go back to you with those documents. I don’t care about that little bit of money. I


    just wanted to see you disgusted to the core, yet unable to do anything about it! You’re done for! You’ll


    have to live with an unfaithful wife for the rest of your life! More importantly, you have to live with a


    woman who could turn around and murder you at any time!”


    Richard felt so incensed that his eyes rolled back and he nearly fainted. It was no use even if he


    gnashed his teeth to pieces; he desperately wished he could murder Sophia. After all, he was well aware


    that X wanted to murder his entire family. She was a demon who came to get her revenge!


    Just as he was about to continue swearing, he heard Sophia sneer, “Oh! I forgot to tell you! Yesterday, I


    received another 5% of the Harper Group’s shares. On ount of our previous rtionship, I decided to


    give it all to your wife as a constion gift. So, she will hold 12% in yourpany. Hmm; I seem to


    remember you only hold a 10% share in thepany… Now that she owns more shares than you do, do


    you feel scared?”


    When the conversation ended, he mmed the phone down. Then, he paced about angrily like an angry


    beast and his eyes were red.


    On the other hand, X, who had been observing the entire phone call between Richard and Sophia,


    leisurely took off her sunsses to reveal her battered and bruised face. She calmly took out her face


    powder and touched up her makeup. Then, Richard’s fist came flying toward her as if he wanted to vent


    his anger out on her.


    To his surprise, she red at him abruptly. “Hmm—”


    His fist froze in mid-air. All his weaknesses were in this woman’s hands. If he angered her, she might do


    something out of desperation and everything would go downhill from there.


    After she finished touching up her makeup, she got up. “Let’s go. We need to attend my parents’ funeral


    serviceter. A ‘filial son-inw’ like you can’t miss it!”


    ‘Filial son-inw’. Those words shackled him down firmly. He red at her but couldn’t do anything. He


    was still far too young—he had been so foolish that he had dirtied his own hands and given his enemies


    a weakness they could exploit!


    At that moment, X’s expression was filled with a sick and hideous delight. She liked watching Sophia


    and Richard fighting against each other. In the end, she was the one who benefited from it. If what


    Sophia said was true, she now held a 12% stake in the Harper Group. With that, she no longer had


    anything to worry about for the rest of her life. In the past, she had been too kind—she had given


    everything she and her family had to that b*stard, Richard.


    However, she was no longer the delicate and beautiful daughter of the Huff Family she used to be. Her


    next objective was to seize control of the shareholder’s meeting and ckmail the directors. I’m going to


    make the Harper Group mine. I’m going to be a rich, young wife who forever stands above


    everyone else! All of Sophia’s conspiracies will be my personal assets! Even though she nned to


    get rid of Richard… I’m sure she never imagined that she would be helping me out instead!


    Unbeknownst to them, Sophia was doing a happy little dance in The Imperial right now. She was ted


    as she imagined what Richard was feeling at the moment. During this period, she had worked hard to


    gather information on the dirty secrets of the Harper Family and umte theirpany shares. Now,


    she sessfully ced that deranged and repulsive woman in the Harper Family. However, these were


    simply the first steps in her n. Later, she had a whole set of ns to put into motion. I’m going to make


    the Harpers wish they were dead!
