Despite her tearful plea, Victor remained unmoved.


    Therge hand around her neck did not loosen its grip in the slightest.


    Emma had to muster all her strength just to breathe, but she still stubbornly refused to admit anything.


    Victor was only suspicious now, and he was already so ruthless. If she confessed, who knew what he would do to her!


    Nathan, following behind Victor, watched as Emma’s face turned blue and purple, her chest heaving with difficulty. Fearing that his master might identally take a life, he hurriedly stepped forward to intervene, “Sir, please let go! If you continue, she might die!”


    Victor showed no intention of letting go.


    Emma had no doubt that the man before her would strangle her to death.


    In the end, it was Nathan who, with great effort, pried his master’s hand away.


    Emma, almost exhausted, copsed to the ground as soon as the hand was released from her neck, gasping for air.


    Victor slowly regained hisposure and coldly looked at the person slumped on the floor. “Since you like to act, keep acting. When Sophia recovers, I will ask her. If it’s confirmed to be you, I won’t let you off!”


    With that, he turned and strode away.


    Nathan quickly followed.


    Emma sat on the ground, her hands clutching her neck. Tears streamed uncontrobly down her face from the earlier fright, but her expression was full of anger.


    Why didn’t that little brat just die!


    Now she had to live in constant fear of being identified by that little brat!


    Thinking of what might happen then, Emma felt a wave of panic.


    After leaving Emma’s house, Nathan followed his master into the car. The carriage was silent.


    After a few seconds, Nathan cautiously asked, “Sir, should we go check on Sophia?”


    Victor suppressed his anger and ordered in a deep voice, “Head to Leer Manor.”


    Although puzzled, Nathanplied and drove towards Leer Manor.


    “Wait here,” Victor instructed as he got out of the car.


    A short whileter, he returned with a dark-colored jar.


    Once back in the car, he instructed Nathan, “Go to Olivia’s ce.”


    Nathan acknowledged and drove off.


    …


    After Victor left, Olivia tenderly looked at Sophia lying on the bed. She called Sebastian and Ethan to keep herpany while she went downstairs to fetch a medical kit and carefully applied medicine to Sophia’s injuries.


    The two little ones tried hard to cheer up Sophia but were disappointed when they didn’t get any response.


    Olivia patted their heads. “Sophia needs time to get better. You have to be patient.”N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    Hearing this, the two children nodded obediently and reluctantly returned to their rooms.


    Olivia also coaxed Sophia to sleep.


    Just as she was about to rest, she suddenly heard the doorbell ring downstairs.


    Puzzled, Olivia went down to check. Seeing who it was, she became even more confused. “Weren’t you busy? Why are you back?”


    Victor nodded. “I went back to get medicine for Sophia. Could you help apply it?”


    He handed the ointment to Olivia.


    Olivia took a look at it and recognized it as an expensive foreign ointment for bruises. Her earlier dissatisfaction with Victor eased somewhat.


    She had thought this man had left the injured child with her for the sake of work, but it turned out he had gone to get medicine for Sophia.
