Chapter 1125
Callum was ring at Sophia, but he abruptly retracted his gaze. This was his first time seeing that she
could be so vicious. He restrained his emotions before barking at Anne, “Stand down!”
His tone was stern and harsh, making Anne realize that Callum was truly angry now. She pursed her lips
and said nothing else, but she felt wronged, so her eyes became red-rimmed as tears began to roll
down.
This b*stard Sophia; she thinks too highly of herself. Callum will definitely teach her a lesson! She stared
ferociously at Sophia, waiting for Callum to make her pay for her actions.
To her surprise, Callum’s cold demeanor from earlier vanished. He smiled and sat down, pushing away
the stack of checks before saying, “Sophia, there’s no need to be so angry! Come, have some tea. This
is a special Imperial drink that the Yard family has been drinking for generations. I brought it here today
especially for you!” He set down his royal tea set, then had a waiter bring water over before he began
brewing the tea for Sophia.
Sophia’s expression, however, was still cold and emotionless. Her huge sunsses concealed the
fierce glint in her blue eyes. “p her before you say anything more,” she demanded coolly.
Callum stopped brewing the tea and looked up at Sophia. Undoubtedly, he knew who she had meant by
‘her’. Sophia wants to p Anne? And she wants me, her cousin, to do it?

No matter how foolish Anne was, she was still a part of the Yard family. pping her would be a p to
his face!
Callum hesitated. “That’s not a good idea…”
The corners of Sophia’s lips curled up slightly as she turned her head toward Anne. Behind her, Dimon’s
hand shot out to p Anne across her small delicate face. The guy struck with no regard for gender,
causing Anne’s nose to bleed on the spot.
At once, the whole ce fell silent. Upon seeing this, Callum’s mouth twitched. No one had dared to p
a member of the Yard family before, much less in front of him!
For several seconds, Anne was stunned. She was dizzy from the p, and her mind was nk. It took a
while for her toe back to her senses, and that was when she let out an ear-splitting scream. It was a
good thing they were in a private booth, so not many people were around; otherwise, it would have
caused a hugemotion.
“You… How dare you hit me?! Sobs… Callum, she hit me! She hit me!”
In an instant, Callum’s face turned sullen. Although he reckoned she deserved the beating, and he could
not deny wanting to give her one himself, him doing it would have apletely different connotation as
opposed to someone else hitting her.
The atmosphere tensed all of a sudden, and Callum’s men started to act. They reached into their suits,
seemingly drawing guns, but as soon as their hands moved, those few burly bodyguards grunted and fell
to the ground, sprawling out on their backs.
At this moment, Callum was on high alert as cold sweat beaded his forehead. His men had fallen so
suddenly! And without any resistance too!
Anne was terrified as well. At this point, Callum withdrew his kind smile and said gloomily, “Miss
Edwards, it seems like you’re shedding all pretenses of cordiality here.”
Sophia coldly lifted her sunsses and retorted, “Aren’t you guys the one doing that? I’m sorry, but I’m
just a b*stard, so Ronney Group’spletely out of my league.” She pushed the checks back to him.
“Sign them. Then, give me a number and I’ll pay. What I have is money, nothing else.”
However, Callum refused to sign it. Veins bulging on his forehead, he fixed her with a frosty stare. “Miss
Edwards, do you think you’re capable of going against the Ronney Group?”
Sophia remained indifferent and expressionless. “I may not have the courage or ability to go against the
Ronney Group, but to stop the Ronney Group from operating in Bayside City and to turn the Yard Family
into a topic in modern history textbooks so that you’d all be attacked? That’s something I’m capable of.
The Yard family has backed me into a corner, so don’t me me.” She then gave the checks a hard tap
with her fair hands and said only one word: “Sign.”
Callum red stonily at her for ten seconds or so before he finally reached out to take hold of the pen,
and began to write. His delicate fingernails were coated in transparent nail polish, and it was obvious that
he kept them well-maintained. At this moment, his wless hand was trembling slightly as he held the
pen and wrote a ‘0’.
“You’re really something. I don’t want thepensation. Miss Edwards, you’re on your own now.” As he
said this, he was gritting his teeth.
Remaining silent, Sophia tossed out the termination agreement and said, “Sign.”
Callum roughly nced through the agreement, which mostly exined the terms of the termination.
Pourl’s side promised to pay for all the losses, on the condition that they terminated their contract with
the Yard family.
Callum then signed it with shaking hands. For the second time in his life, he was being greatly
humiliated. Thest time was when he nearly fell to his death but was caught by his rtives from the
branch family.
After she affixed her signature, Sophia gave him the other copy to sign. She had already written her own
name, so all that was required now was Callum’s signature.
After all was done, she took back her own copy curtly. While putting it away, she said, “Oh, and there’s
no way I’m selling my house to you. My dad doesn’t like Anne, so stop throwing away your money to
create opportunities for her to pursue him. Even if you manage to buy the house next to mine, you’d be
dreaming if you think that that’s going to help her get a glimpse of my dad! Your family even pressured
his investors to force him to marry her. You guys are really something. You’re really overestimating your
capabilities, you know? Stay away from my dad. If this happens again… the Yard Family can look
forward to bing a test question in the college entrance examinations next year!”
Listening to her speak, Callum found it all to be very unreal. Does Sophia think that Anna is buying her
house to give Anne opportunities to meet Cooper?
Anna had only pressured Mitchell International because she felt like her authority was being provoked,
so she wanted to show her strength. After all, she had been ignored three times in a row; even the most
unfeeling person would throw a temper. But, from Sophia’s point of view, they were doing all this just to
force Cooper to marry Anne.
He was about to refute her ims, but Anne unexpectedly rushed forward like a little beast and cried
while jumping around, “You b*stard! Cooper and I really love each other, so don’t even think about
breaking us up! Don’t you dare think about it! I will marry Cooper!”
To her dismay, Sophia’s bodyguards blocked her, and Dimon nonchntly pushed her to the ground.
“Ah.” Sophia stood up and nced at Callum; her blue eyes were filled with contempt and mockery. “Did
your family think that just because I sought cooperation with you, I’ll have to involve my dad in a
marriage of convenience? How shameless! Besides, could my dad ever be attracted to this kind of
trash? After you pursued my nephew, you pursued my brother, and now you’re pursuing my dad. Do you
think that my family is here for you to pick on? It’s no wonder the Yard Family is in the luxury products
business. After dabbling in luxuries for so long, you people sure know how to blow your own trumpet and
think that you’re above everyone else!”
When Callum heard this, he knew immediately that it was all a huge misunderstanding. We just want to
buy Cooper’s house! How did it be a matter of forcing Cooper into marriage? How did Anne’s
delusions turn into the Yard Family’scency?
