Chapter 30


    Mason arched a brow. “If so, then let us go through the proper procedures.”


    As he spoke, he fished out his phone and was ready to call the cops.


    Meanwhile, Alexander, who was standing nearby, stared at him coldly. “If you''re not afraid of appearing


    on the headlines of tomorrow''s entertainment news, I shall go along with your decision.”


    Mason''s expression darkened. He was in the talks for a male lead role in a movie as ofte. Should he


    be gued by bad press then, it would most definitely affect his work in some way or another. The


    worst part was that he could lose out on the role.


    Naturally, Mason had no desire to be involved with the police, but he also did not want to be a


    scapegoat. s, Alexander had Mason''s weakness in his hands. There was no other choice for Mason


    but to fork out the money. The ident was to be a lesson to him. “Fine, a hundred thousand it is.”


    However, Alexander no longer wanted Mason to pay him the hundred thousand. “Have the person in


    the car disembark and apologize to me. I''ll waive the fees then.”


    Mason was instantly infuriated. “Mr. Xenos, I know that you''re rich. But that doesn''t mean I can''t afford


    to pay a hundred thousand.”


    Nheless, Alexander had already changed his mind, and he could not be bothered with Mason''s


    excuse. Instead, he directly dered in a cold voice, “Have here out of the car, or I''ll call the


    police. It''s your choice.”


    Mason was tongue-tied momentarily. He then eximed, “You''re going overboard, Alexander!”


    Mason did not wish for Sophia to intervene in the matter at all.


    Nevertheless, as soon as Mason''s words left his mouth, an impassionate woman''s voice rang out. “Mr.


    Xenos, did you need something from me?”


    It was Sophia. Before the men knew it, she had opened the car''s door and emerged from the car.


    The moment Mason saw her, his expression wavered. “Sophia...”


    Sophia smiled at Mason. “It''s all right. Go back into the car. I''ll settle this myself.”


    Back when she was still seated in the car, she already realized that Alexander was hassling Mason, as


    five minutes had passed without the matter being settled. That was why she opened the car door.


    As soon as she stepped out of the car, she heard Alexander offering his ultimatum to Mason. After a


    moment of deliberation, she came to the conclusion that Alexander was vexed about the kiss they had


    at Corona.


    In reality, Sophia harbored some regrets. The few months after she was divorced, she lived a good life,


    and her ex-husband, Alexander, was akin to a stranger from a previous life.


    She sighed. This is what happens when people rush into things.


    Mason wanted to speak, but he stopped himself when his eyes met Sophia''s confident gaze. He


    nodded his head and promptly returned to the car.


    Sophia''s attire took Samuel''s breath away. He had always known that she was a singr and


    iparable beauty. However, not only did the woman not stand out, but she also kept a rather low


    profile. Sophia tended to keep to herself in the Xenos residence for the past three years, and whenever


    she attended evening banquets on asion, she typically dressed moderately.


    However, at this moment, her appearance was absolutely brilliant in the eyes of others. It was as if a


    pearl covered in dust had finally been polished.


    When Samuel was still in astonishment at Sophia''s soul-stirring beauty, he noticed Alexander shooting


    a cold look at him.


    Samuel had originally wanted to be a quiet onlooker, but with a single re from Alexander, Samuel


    had no choice but to return to his car.


    Since all the insignificant people were no longer present, Alexander turned his gaze upon Sophia. Her


    cheeks appeared slightly flushed, perhaps due to her makeup or some other reason. Sophia''s alluring


    eyes stared at Alexander calmly. Her floor-length dress clung to her slim figure, showing off her thin


    waist.


    As Alexander gaped at Sophia, the thought of covering her up in arge cloth crossed his mind.


    The notion irritated him to the extreme, but what was worse was the kiss that happened a few hours


    prior.


    Sophia seemingly waited for quite some time, but Alexander never opened his mouth. As such, she


    unwittingly raised her eyebrow and asked, “Mr. Xenos?”


    When Alexander heard Sophia urging him by hisst name, his expression darkened in a split second.


    “Leave.”


    Sophia''s smile faltered. “Well then, thank you for your generosity, Mr. Xenos.”


    Her words were cordial, but her smile seemed indifferent. From head to toe, Sophia oozed an air of


    detachment and coldness.


    Alexander''s chest grew heavy. It felt as if his heart had been pierced.


    As he stood there under the moonlight, his face appeared as terrifying as the devil.


    By then, Sophia had already turned around and returned to her car. She shot a nce at Alexander,


    who was standing outside, through the car''s window. Then, she retracted her gaze immediately and


    tilted her head down to fasten her seatbelt.


    “I hope he didn''t cause you any trouble?” Mason asked.


    Although it had only been half a minute, Mason was still worried about Sophia despite witnessing that


    Alexander took no action against her.


    Sophia chuckled softly upon hearing Mason''s question and answered, “How could he possibly cause


    me any trouble?”


    Mason was instantly taken aback by the smile in her seductive eyes, and his throat tightened. “That''s


    good then.”


    Meanwhile, a thought appeared in his mind. Ah! Mydy boss is too beautiful! I''ve suddenly lost the


    motivation to work.


    “It''s gettingte. Let us depart.”


    Mason nodded and withdrew his gaze, not daring to gape at Sophia any longer. After all, he had rear-


    ended the other car because he was sneaking a nce at Sophia.


    By the time the car stopped at the door to Sophia''s mansion, it was already one o''clock in the morning.


    Sophia was extremely drowsy by that point. She simply bid Mason good night, then went straight into


    the mansion with the gift bag in her hand.


    “Genie, turn off tomorrow''s rm.”


    “Copy that, Ms. Yarrow.”


    It had been about five years since Sophiast went to bed thatte. As she climbed into bed after her


    shower, she fell asleep instantly.

    Sophia slept soundly that night.


    In the meantime, Alexander had a tumultuous sleep, or more urately, he barely had any sleep at all.


    He almost went mad as the kiss he shared with Sophia invaded his mind for the entire night. He could


    not stop thinking about their kiss and the image of her face under the moonlight when their cars


    collided.


    She was mesmerizingly beautiful, so beautiful that she had captured his soul.


    Throughout his three years of marriage with Sophia, not once had he looked at her properly. The image


    of his ex-wife in his mind back then had been a good-looking but adeptly pretentious gold digger.


    However, in the four months since their divorce, she had consistently broken that image he had of her.


    Alexander had thought that Sophia was a gold digger and that she had married him for the sake of his


    money. He had believed that the reason why she liked him was that his appearance suited her taste.


    On top of that, he came from an affluent background. However, Sophia wanted nothing from him during


    the divorce proceedings. She was contrary to the behavior of a gold digger.


    During their three years of marriage, Sophia had been constantly tormented by Kristen in the Xenos


    residence. Thetter had phoned Alexander asionally toin that Sophia was a worthless fool.


    Alexander did not consider her to be foolish back then. After all, if she were a fool, she would not have


    asked him to take her as his wife. As Alexander gave it a thought once more, he found that Sophia was


    indeed somewhat foolish. She was married to him for three years, yet she did not ask for a single dime


    during the divorce proceedings.


    The truth was that he never intended to divorce her so quickly. He had nned to wait for the perfect


    opportunity, then pay her a handsome fee aspensation for the divorce.


    Nevertheless, back in the day, Sophia had brought the documents divorce agreement directly to City


    Hall and waited by its entrance. During the four months following their divorce, Alexander was


    convinced that she would regret her decision ande running back to him.


    s, that did not happen.


    Not only did she bear no regrets, she never came begging him too. Contrarily, she led a better life than


    when she lived at the Xenos residence. Furthermore, her life continued to improve by the day.


    Sophia was often trending on the inte with different men on a daily basis. Her life became much


    more vibrant after she had left Alexander. At one point, Specter Entertainment had somehow be


    hers.


    Essentially, she had given everyone who called her a gold digger, including Alexander, a metaphorical


    p on the face.


    Alexander lit a cigarette. As the smoke swirled around him, he suddenly recalled the day when he got


    married to Sophia. She had gazed into his eyes and said, “Alexander, I entrust the rest of my life to


    you, in sickness and in health.”


    One thought popped into his mind. Wow, the apocalypse must be arriving. To think that I would


    reminisce about that day.
