《Remarriage: My CEO Husband》 Chapter 1 What A Shameless Couple! Chapter 1 What A Shameless Couple! The setting sun shone on the wedding photos on the wall. Exactly three years had passed since then, and the warm, hopeful sunlight brought upon a sense of irony. Sophia Lin nced at her phone angrily. It was already half past seven. Although Ryan Fu didn''te home frequently, how could he forget about their wedding anniversary? Time passed by like blur. She sat on the sofa alone and waited until half past one in the morning. She called to hispany, but no one answered. Unable to bear her anger, Sophia Lin changed her clothes and took her car keys. She drove quickly to thepany where Ryan Fu worked, her foot pressing hard on the gas pedal. After parking the car, she walked inside and into the elevator. Ryan Fu''s office was on the thirteenth floor. With a faint ''ding'', the elevator doors opened. It was dark inside. Since it was nighttime and everyone had gone home from work, it looked like the office came straight out of a horror movie. Sophia Lin leaned against the wall. Slowly, she slid down to the floor, her eyes wet with tears. They were once the most envied model couple. However, they had been married for three years and Ryan Fu had neverid a single finger on her. Sophia Lin had been treated with great respect in the marriage. But whenever she wanted to be a little intimate with Ryan Fu, he would back away from her as if he was so disgusted by her. It didn''t make sense -- they were each other''s first love! She didn''t even know what she had done wrong. In order to make their rtionship better, Sophia Lin changed herself a lot. She got rid of all her irrational and wasteful habits. She didn''t even buy any new clothes in the past three years. What was more, she learned to cook many kinds of dishes to win Ryan Fu''s favor every day, and took care of all the housework. In the end, all her efforts were in vain. More often than not, Sophia Lin felt too exhausted because of how hard she tried to please Ryan every day. After calming herself down, she stood up and groped the walls, trying to walk forward in the darkness. She got back inside the elevator and went back down the building. Despair gradually overwhelmed her. In truth, she had expected that something like this would happen. Still, it was such a painful thing for her to experience. Feeling dazed and hopeless, she walked towards the entrance of the underground parking lot tiredly. All of a sudden, a crimson Porsche Cayenne in the corner came into her view. There was no chance that she could''ve seen it that easily -- it was probably just her woman''s intuition. For some reason, she was sure that Ryan Fu was in the car. She walked carefully towards the back of the car. It was not until she got closer that she realized that the car had been subtly rocking back and forth. It didn''t take a genius to know what was going inside that car. She clenched her right hand into a fist, her nails digging deep into her palm. Blood soon started to trickle down slowly to her finger. The woman''s camisole was hanging down to her waist. They even boldly rolled down the window, and her underwear hung shamelessly on the edge. Although Sophia had been standing in front of the car for a long time, the couple in the car did not notice anything. Just as she tried to kick the side of the car to stop them, her body was pulled back with a pair of strong arms. Sophia turned around instantly and looked into a pair of deep eyes. Although she tried her best to resist, she was too weak to fight against the strength of the man behind her. Arge hand went up to her mouth to prevent her from screaming. Just like that, Sophia was dragged directly into the ck car next to her. Even when she fought with all her strength, it was useless. The door was half closed. The more she struggled, the more interested the man became. The man''s eyes were wide with excitement. It was not hard to imagine that he might had been under the influence of drugs. Sophia was so angry that her face turned red. She tightly grasped one of the man''s arms and twisted it. A suffocating pain came and the man screamed. At this moment, the door was opened from outside. In an arrogant and aloof posture, Ryan folded his arms on his chest and watched the fun in front of him. "What are you doing here? Did you really have to find a man to cheat on me with in my ownpany? I''d like to see who this boy toy is." As he spoke, Ryan reached out and pulled Sophia out of the car, trying to see who the man was. Sophia''s eyes turned red, crying in her heart, ''How could he think that? He didn''t even ask me what happened! Did he think that I was willing to get attacked?'' She paused, tidied up her clothes and pretended to be calm. "Yes! Because it''s so much funny. Can''t you see?" Her scornful tone irritated the man in front of her. Meanwhile, she quickly nced at the woman in Ryan''s car. It looked like she was quickly tidying up her clothes -- only her back could be seen as her face was hidden under the shadows. Infuriated by Sophia''s words, Ryan raised his hand and pped her on the face. "You slut! I knew it was a bad decision to agree to marry you!" In this moment, Sophia realized that she couldn''t show any cowardice in front of this love rat! The anger that she had endured for over three years instantly erupted. Sophia grabbed a mug she saw in the car and smashed it at his forehead. "Don''t forget your ce, Mr. Ryan. I was the one who agreed to marry you! Without me, where will you have gotten the luxury car and mansion to find fancy women? Maybe I should''ve just gotten a dog. At least it would be good for something like guarding the door. You, on the other hand, are pathetic!" Meanwhile, the man who had attacked her leaned against the car as he looked at Sophia bemusedly. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Sophia stared at Ryan, who was holding his head and groaning in pain. "Can''t you see how shameless you really are? You are nothing without me. I can break you into pieces if I wanted to, you scum!" Shocked by her tone, the man behind her showed a sly smile. ''Well, this is a little interesting.'' For a long time, Ryan didn''t dare to stand up, probably because he didn''t expect that Sophia would be so explosive. "I''m not a boy toy, by the way. My name is Andrew Li." Sophia looked back at him in astonishment. Walking over, he pulled his tie and tidied up his clothes. It was obvious that given the current situation, he hadn''t have time to exin the inexplicable things that had just happened. With his eyes widening, Ryan stared at the ck car in front of him. It was a limited Porsche. A look of shock and fear appeared on his face. "Mr. Andrew? Are... are you really Andrew?" Ryan was so nervous that he couldn''t help but tremble and stammer. But on second thought, it was obvious that Andrew Li was caught trying to harass Sophia, so Ryan stood up and squared his shoulders. "But Sophia is my legal wife. I''m afraid what you''ve done to her is not appropriate, Mr. Andrew." Hearing this, Sophia was dumbfounded at how Ryan was suddenly acting. Meanwhile, Andrew Li walked closer to Sophia and held her chin with his hand. "So what? From now on, she is my woman," he said in a contemptuous tone. Obviously, Ryan was embarrassed that he was cuckolded and provoked in public, but soon he managed to put on a dry smile. "Honey, let''s talk about it when we get home. We shouldn''t be bothering Mr. Andrew like this. It''s so embarrassing. Let''s go." Ryan looked at Sophia viciously. However, much to his surprise, Sophia just scoffed at him. "Who''s this ''honey'' you''re referring to? You easily call me that without thinking about the bitch in your car. I''m sorry. You must have mistaken me for someone else." Ryan tried to pull her back, but was pushed away by Andrew Li. "Don''t make me have to say it twice," he said coldly. It was probably the first time that Sophia had felt a firm sense of being protected. Chapter 2 Your Place Or Mine Chapter 2 Your ce Or Mine Before Ryan could react, Sophia had opened the door and got into Andrew''s Porsche. Stunned, Andrew smirked and walked over to the driver''s seat, closing the door. The car soon drove out of the underground parking lot. Sophia stared anxiously at Andrew. "Your name is Andrew Li, right? Thanks for getting me out of there despite the fact that... you know... You were attacking me before." Her voice was very small, almost like a whisper. Andrew''s angr face was incredibly handsome, like he was personally chiseled by the hands of God. The man suddenly stepped on the brake and turned his head. His sharp, falcon-like eyes were fixed on Sophia, which made her blush instantly. Seeing the way he was looking at her, she couldn''t help but move away from him. "What... what are you nning to do?" Andrew was not annoyed by her reaction. On the contrary, he was very much interested in the winded woman in front of him. When he drove off, he thought that Sophia would suddenly burst into tears or she would hysterically roar at the hardships she had suffered for many years. To his pleasant surprise, she was a lot more strong-willed than she appeared to be. With an arrogant and evil smile, he put his arm behind her seat. "Where are we going, Miss? Your ce or mine? Or maybe you''d like to get a hotel room?" "How dare you! Who the hell do you think you are? Look, thanks for what you did just now but I''ve got to go now. Bye!" As Sophia spoke, she reached out to open the door, but found that the door had been locked. A kind of inexplicable fear surged up in her heart. ''Stupid! Stupid! Why did I get into this man''s car!'' she cursed in her heart. Suddenly, the man stepped on the gas and drove at a high speed on the street, as if dering his sovereignty. He looked back at the front passenger seat. It was interesting for him to see the fear and trepidation on her face. "Miss, do you think a normal man would be interested in a woman like you? Plus, do you honestly believe that you and your pathetic husband won''t get into a fight if you go home now?" Hearing that, Sophia breathed a heavy sigh. A few secondster, she furrowed her brows. ''Wait! What does he mean that a normal man would not be interested in a woman like me?'' "Do you think I''ll lose if I get into a fight with him? Besides, I''m the daughter of the Lin Group! If I get a divorce with him, that scumbag will have no choice but to leave without getting a single penny from me!" She sounded so arrogant, but it was understandable since the Lin family was one of the biggest names in the whole city. Hearing the two words "Lin Group", Andrew frowned. The Lin Group had declined, and thepany''s project had a great deficit up to ten million. It was said that the bank loan for theirtest project hadn''t been approved yet. Could it be the Lin Group she was referring to? Looking back, he found that although the little woman had an arrogant air to her tone, she looked very simple and quaint. Although there was not an ounce of makeup on her face, her skin was smooth and wless. However, her cheeks were a little bit too sullen. No matter how weak her body looked, it was difficult to hide the beauty of the woman. With a careful observation, one could still see that she was beautiful. She didn''t have a sweet life after marriage. Even though she was the daughter of a rich family, she looked like she was having so many hardships -- another silly woman who was obsessed with the wrong man. Andrew swiped the screen of his mobile phone and threw it directly to Sophia. "This is the recent situation of the Lin Group''s stock market." Even though Sophia didn''t know much about stocks, she scanned the screen and found that the stock was steadily going downhill day by day. Her bright eyes were as wide as bells. How could it be possible that such things happened to the Lin Group? Then what about Ryan Her mind was in a mess. Grasping Andrew''s sleeve tightly, she begged, "Please. Please take me home first! I must go home! This must be that bastard''s doing!" Her panicked look was somewhat cute in Andrew''s eyes. He had never thought that a seemingly Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. innocent little woman would have so much fire in her. At a nce, she could see that it was a trick yed by her ''loving'' husband. "Go back now? Do you want to humiliate yourself?" Andrew snorted indifferently. In a panic, she took a few deep breaths and finally rxed her tense mood. She couldn''t go back now. She had to think of a solution. Looking at the man beside her, she pressed her lips into a fine line. "Can you take me in for one night? I''ll even pay for my stay, no matter how much it is. When I get home tomorrow, I can get you the money." Andrew didn''t say a word. He drove the car quickly to a manor vimunity. Soon, he pulled over at a vi nestled at the innermost part. "Is this your home?" Looking around, Sophia guessed that the house prices here should be several times higher than hers. The tall palm trees around the area offered a refreshing vibe. Gingerly, she stepped into the vi with Andrew. Looking around, it seemed like they were the only ones who were there. She had many questions in her heart, but Sophia didn''t dare to ask anything. She strolled around the vi. It was so grand and beautiful. Luxurious decorations could be seen at every turn. Aside from the decorations, everything else was either ck or white. At first nce, she thought that she had walked into a hotel by mistake. Then, she heard the door behind her creak. Looking back, she saw that Andrew was about to walk out, with his car keys in his hand. "You''re going out?" she asked. He turned around and nced at her. "If I find anything out of ce when Ie back tomorrow..." he ordered, not bothering to finish saying his threat. Without waiting for her reply, Andrew closed the door behind him. Sophia tapped her foot impatiently. ''Great! Was he nning to starve me to death all along?'' Sighing, she made her way into the kitchen. When she opened the fridge, her eyes widened in surprise. There were all kinds of delicious dishes, but the thing that caught her attention was a roast She grabbed themb leg and put it on the chopping board. Then she took the knife and gently sliced a small piece of it. It was so tender that it almost melted in her mouth. She could taste that this was cooked with authentic truffles, leaving a distinct earthy taste in her mouth that made her close her eyes in pleasure. Looking around, she saw a bottle of red wine -- 1992 Lafite. With a small smile, she opened the bottle and poured herself a ss. At this moment, she figured the best thing she could do was numb down her nerves with some alcohol. Quietly, she ate the small meal she had prepared for herself. It was a rather surprisingly pleasant night. However, she couldn''t help but have tears well up in her eyes. How could it be? How did everything be like this? Looking out of the window at the rising sun, Sophia couldn''t see any hope in her future. Her mother had always been very harsh to her, and had never been nice to Ryan. Now her marriage had be a mess. How could she exin herself to the Lin family? If she had known it earlier, she might as well have gone into business. Chapter 3 I Dont Need Pity Chapter 3 I Don''t Need Pity With the help of alcohol, Sophia soon curled up on the sofa and easily dozed off to sleep. The next morning, she awoke with bright lights shining on her. She was having a dream about being taken to the hospital, and could distinctly remember the pungent smell of disinfectant wafting into her nose. Slowly, she opened her eyes, and was overwhelmed with how white everything was. ''Wait... Am I still dreaming? Am I actually in a hospital?'' She was shocked by this thought. When she came to her senses, she noticed that she was lying down on a rather ufortable bed. An IV was hooked up to her right hand. There was a man sitting on a chair at her bedside. He was wearing a light-gray suit and British leather shoes. As she looked up at the man''s handsome profile, she saw that his face was full of fatigue. "Why am I here?" Sophia rubbed her head, trying to recall what had happenedst night. "Alcohol poisoning," Andrew said indifferently with a shrug. For some reason, from the moment she woke up, Sophia felt that everything around her was out of ce. She even felt that there was a bit of pity in the eyes of Andrew when he looked at her. She sat up slowly and looked for her cell phone in the bedside table. "You''d better have a good rest first. You can deal with the things after you get out of here." Andrew pushed the drawer hard and closed it. Sophia was about to curse the man in front of her. However, the door to her ward suddenly opened. The familiar face of Linda Lin came into sight. Sophia was surprised, but when Linda Lin opened her mouth, Sophia was almost on the verge of copse. "What a shameless bitch! You have the audacity to think about divorcing Ryan while you are lovey- dovey with another man in the hospital?! As the Miss Sophia of the Lin family, how could you be so shameless? With your father gone, you can be sure that you are no longer a part of this family! You''d better sign the divorce agreement as soon as you can!" As Linda Lin spoke, she threw the folder in her hand to Sophia. Her words made Sophia confused. What did Linda Lin mean by saying that her father was gone? It was like Sophia didn''t hear anything else. Linda Lin''s words seemed to have made everythinge to a sudden halt. Sophia pulled off the bandage on her right hand, threw the transfusion bottle aside and grabbed the cor of Linda''s shirt. "What did you mean by saying that my father was gone?" she screamed. Linda trembled with fear. Perhaps it was the first time that Linda had seen Sophia lose her temper like this. With her teeth clenched, Linda tried to push away Sophia''s hands and took a stiff step back. "My dear cousin... Did you really not know? Uncle Lin was embezzling the funds, making the directors went to your house to confront him about it. The police were even there to try and arrest him. It was hard for him to ept it, I guess, so he jumped down from the fifth floor of the Lin mansion. Such Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. a shame. Did you really not know any of this?" Linda smiled sarcastically. It was like something was pressing against Sophia''s chest, making it hard for her to breathe. How could this be possible? Her whole had gone weak and limp. Meanwhile, Andrew just watched silently and was at a loss for what to do. After all, it was someone else''s family matters. As he stayed by the sidelines, he couldn''t help but guess how devastating all of this must be for Sophia. Although her face was a mask of shock and pain, Sophia couldn''t shed a single tear, probably because she had already cried too muchst night. Hatred filled Sophia''s heart as she red at Linda with blood-red eyes, like an angry and provoked lioness. "Why are you the one asking me to sigh the divorce papers? Where is Ryan? Why didn''t hee here himself? Does he not have the guts toe see me?" Sophia sneered, each wording out of her mouth filled with acidity. Linda smiled frivolously. "My cousin, are you pretending to be dumb or are you really just stupid? Didn''t you run into me and Ry in the car that day? Besides, it''s useless even if you don''t want to divorce. Now I''m pregnant with his child, and his mother knows about it. By the way, she said if you didn''t clean up your rubbish today, she would throw it away for you. Such rotten luck, huh?" Rotten luck? When Sophia heard these two words, she burst intoughter. "Linda, what kind of person do you think Ryan is? Rotten luck, you say? When I married that fool, I brought in three million dors as my dowry. That was my money. How else do you think Ryan was able to drive a Porsche and wear branded clothes? He was nothing before he married me, and only lived on his annual two thousand dors schrship. Marrying him is the unluckiest thing that has ever happened to me!" Even though her face was pale and she was wearing nothing but a hospital gown, Sophia was still full of life and vigor as she pped back at Linda. Perhaps it was because the hysteria of Sophia was so pitiful that Andrew couldn''t help but stand up from the chair and walked straightly to her. He held her slender waist, took out a tinum pen from his pocket, and casually signed Sophia''s name on the divorce agreement. "Although you refused me before, I didn''t agree to it," he said with a sly smile. Andrew''s words confused Sophia. She turned him down? How was that possible? All of a sudden, Sophia remembered back when she had just turned 20. Her mother said that Uncle Li''s son who had been studying abroad hade back to visit his family, and she wanted them to have a blind date. Could it be that this was Uncle Li''s son? Andrew Li? Was it him? She stared at the man with tearful eyes. The smile on Linda''s face gradually became strained. She waved the divorce agreement in her hand and rolled her eyes. "Great! I''ll be leaving now. I wish you two a happy marriage!" The smile on her face was dazzling and mocking. Sophia tried hard to hold back her anger. With a bitter smile, she sneered at Linda. "I have high hopes for you and Ryan! I wish you two never have children no matter how hard you two try! Such a waste of space if you ask me." Linda took the divorce agreement and walked out of the ward quickly in sheer exasperation, her hands clenching into fists. ''Sophia, I will get what you had back then. Everything you have will be mine. Let''s wait and see!'' When Linda had left, Sophia walked away, took her handbag, and went to the bathroom. Luckily, she always kept her makeup in her bag even if she didn''t use it. After freshening up, she carefully fixed herself up. It wouldn''t be a surprise if there were a lot of reporters gathered outside. Just as she was about to put on her coat, Andrew took out his iPad and handed it to her. "Sign this contract. You need help, and, truthfully speaking, I''m the only one who can help you avenge yourself and your father." Contract? Sophia quickly skimmed through the contract. ''What is this? A contract to be married for three years? There are over a hundred rules and guidelines written here!'' She shook her head and smiled, "Mr. Andrew, I don''t need pity from anyone, especially from you." Chapter 4 Im Getting Married Chapter 4 I''m Getting Married Andrew looked frivolous and disdainful. "It''s toote. Your beloved and your cousin will get married in Highston Hotel three dayster. What she told you was just the tip of the iceberg. Aunt Jane is now in the 909 Mental Hospital. Do you think you have any other choice?" He couldn''t helpughing. Perhaps it was the first time that he had seen a woman who was ungrateful. ''My mother is in a mental hospital?'' Standing still, Sophia stared at the man in front of her. She tried her best to hold back her emotions. She couldn''t break down till thest extremity. The Lin family was nowpletely over. Her mother was crazy, and her father was dead. That tens of millions of debt... Sophia closed her eyes and thought carefully about the situation. After a while, she turned around and looked at the man behind her, "What can you get from me?" "An ovum." Andrew said calmly, as if he was talking about amodity transaction. Giving birth to a baby for him? For a moment, it was hard for Sophia to ept it. But when she thought of the Lin family and her father''s death, she hesitated, "What about the debt of Lin family?" "As my woman, do you need to worry about that? Come with me to the funeral home to see your father for thest time." He nced at Sophia, worried that she would copse at that moment. The funeral home was very quiet. Except for the two drivers of Lin family and the family members, there was no one else. Looking at her father in the photo, Sophia felt a sharp pain in her heart. She knelt down in front of the photo and wiped the ss frame by hand over and over again. She didn''t dare to look at her father in the crystal coffin. She was afraid that she couldn''t bear to see her father''s unrecognizable appearance. From cremation to burial, Sophia just watched from afar coldly. She couldn''t cry, nor could a drop of tear fall. The huge debt of blood and outrageous unjust, she''ll make the shameless couple pay with blood! After leaving the funeral home, Sophia went to the mental hospital. However, the doctor ruled out visits from her mother. Sophia could only linger outside the hospital to have a look. When she came back to the car, she looked at Andrew and asked, "What do you need me to do next?" "Good. I like smart women." Andrew smiled. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. He stepped on the gas and drove to the most famous SU Building in the QZ City. There were all kinds of first-line luxury goods. They took the elevator to the top floor. Even before Sophia got married, she had never been here. It was said that almost all of the goods here were high-end customized clothes of famous brands or limited editions that were extravagant all over the world. She was not that prodigal. The director of Tiffany stood at the door to receive them in person. More than 20 sales women and clothing designers stood in a line outside the door one by one and bowed. Their eyes were fixed on Andrew, didn''t even look at Sophia once. ncing around the samples, Andrew''s eyes fell directly on a fishtail dress made of crystal. He nced at Sophia and said, "Customize this dress ording to her figure. It should be delivered three dayster by nine o''clock in the morning." The director looked at Sophia, who was standing still beside him. He thought he had misheard. It was not until he saw that the face of Andrew gradually darkened... Some of the sales women even knelt on the ground to measure the size of Sophia''s calf. She was ttered. "Besides, customize a wedding dress, no need to consider the price. You must make her the most beautiful bride in the world. The wedding date is twenty-eighth next month." Leaning against the European style sofazily, Andrew said in a tone as if the wedding was buying stuff. ''Twenty-eighth next month?'' Sophia was taken aback. ''Why do I need to be told that I am going to get married?'' She looked at Andrew awkwardly, "The, the twenty-eighth of next month?" "Of course, if you like you can choose tomorrow." Andrew shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently. Sophia swallowed after hearing his words. This man was really a get-things-done guy. Since Sophia had signed the divorce agreement, she would definitely not go back to the house where she used to live. However, the dowry jewelry that her father had chosen for her before her marriage was in that house... Though the jewelry was not priceless, but it was what her father left for her, and father was gone now... After leaving the SU Building, Sophia opened the door and got in the car. Sitting in the car, she tentatively looked at the man in the driver''s seat and asked, "Can you apany me to my ex- husband''s house?" "What? Do you really want to take those rubbish back?" Andrew''s tone was full of disdain. However, he was not that frivolous. When he realized that his words might hurt Sophia, he paused and continued. "Sophia, your parents brought you up in a spoiled manner. They didn''t want you to be a nurse! Besides, if you like those rubbish, you can go back and take them. Remember, what you lost and what was trampled by others can only be regarded as rubbish! No matter what it is!" Although Andrew''s attitude was not good, his scolding was a good lesson for her. Yes, she had lost everything except her poor self-esteem. Her dignity couldn''t be trampled anymore. When Sophia went back to the Penins Vi, she thought of the day when she had a hangover and made this ce a mess. With great care she pushed the door open. To her surprise, everything was restored to original appearance, as if this house had supernatural power. "Ah, have you cleaned up this ce? I''m really sorry for that day." Sitting leisurely on the sofa, Sophia flipped through the magazines on the table. These were exclusive to be financial magazines, too hard for her to understand. Andrew took a deep breath. If this stupid woman hadn''t been poisoned by alcohol that day, he would have thrown her into the sea to feed sharks! At that time, the vomit, red wine, and oil stains from the leg ofmb were everywhere in the living room. Just thinking of that scene made his stomach churned. Of course, these furniture were all brand new because he had asked someone to buy exactly the same ones back. "If it happens again, Sophia, I''ll throw you and those dirty furniture into the trash bin." Andrew felt chagrined. He was a neat freak, but he found that he could do nothing to this stupid woman. Sophia hurried back to the guest room upstairs. Seeing that the wardrobe was not closed tightly, she opened it in curious. She was dumbfounded by what she saw. There were all kinds of famous brands'' dresses and women''s clothes in the wardrobe, and they were all well matched. When Sophia checked the tag, she found that they were all S size. He must have bought it for her? Chapter 5 Wedding of a Shameless Couple Chapter 5 Wedding of a Shameless Couple The clothes were all very beautiful. Sophia had to admit that the scheming man had a much better taste than her. Oh, to be exact, it was the power of money! Andrew left in a hurry at dinner time, Sophia didn''t ask why. It seemed that when she was Ryan''s wife, she had never asked him whereabouts. Moreover, Andrew was just a stranger who broke into her life suddenly. Andrew hadn''te back for two days and two nights. He had spent two nights in thepany. Lily looked at her boss with fear and said, "Mr. Andrew, do you really want your fiancee to stay at home alone? What about the rumors outside..." "When she stays alone, she can more or less release some negative emotions. If her mind was always in a tight state, she may copse." Looking at the neon building in front of him, Andrew couldn''t help but mutter in his heart, ''Tomorrow is the wedding day of Linda and Ryan. What will that stupid woman do at home?'' In the vi, Sophia tossed and turned, not in the mood to sleep. She recalled that a week ago, she was nning to travel to Melbourne with Ryan at the end of this year. Why did everything suddenly change? It was like a dream. At dawn, Sophia finally fell asleep. When Sophia woke up, all kinds of people gathered in the vi. She was shocked to see so many people downstairs. Then Sophia was pressed on the chair by makeup artist and stylist. She wasn''t allowed to get up from the luxury chair until more than an hourter. Sophia was so tired and struggled to get up. Her delicate face was reflected in the European style full length mirror. The long chestnut hair hung ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. down to waist, several big wave curls made her look a little nifty, which hided her haggard look for the past few days. The fishtail dress, which was iid with more than 50000 pcs crystal, perfectly highlighted her curvaceous figure. The design of thece on her chest made the dress not be too frivolous. There was a car whistle outside the door. Sophia walked towards the door quickly. A dark ck Bentley SUV came into view domineeringly. Even Sophia herself felt speechless because there were more than a dozen luxurious cars behind this SUV, as if she was going to marry. A head popped out from the driver''s seat of a Mercedes-Benz G550. A pair of big eyes shed under the dark blue hair, and the face was more exquisite than a girl''s. Looking at this beautiful face, Sophia was stunned. "Call me Allen! I''m a good friend of Andy. I know you''re Sophia!" Allen also saluted Sophia yfully. She was supposed to be nervous, but she was amused by Allen soon. The motorcade drove to the gate of the hotel. At the same time, the wedding car arrived on time. Opposite them were ten same ck convertible BMW. In the front car sat Linda, who wore thetest wedding dress of Chanel this year, with a happy smile on her face. But when she saw the SUV in front of her, her smile suddenly faded. The media reporters couldn''t wait to press the shutter. Under the shlights, Sophia got out of the car hand in hand with Andrew. Everyone''s eyes were focused on the two of them. Since Sophia hadn''t been to this kind of asion for a long time, she was still not used to it and grabbed the sleeve of Andrew tightly. It was really unexpected that a reporter suddenly asked loudly, "Miss. Sophia, why do you attend your ex-husband''s wedding with Mr. Andrew? Your dress worth at least a million, isn''t it? There is a rumor online that your wedding day with Mr. Andrew is approaching..." In an instant, the reporters swarmed over, blocking Linda and Ryan behind. Linda had no choice but to hold back her anger and smile brightly. Seeing this scene, Andrew waved his hand to the security and then responded to the reporters, "My fiancee is shy. Please don''t be so aggressive..." "Ouch! She is so shy. I wondered who''s so shameless, blocking in front of the wedding car of my daughter-inw. It turned out to be this bitch? She dated with a rich man before getting divorce. Tut-tut, this gentleman, see it clearly please. Sophia is a barren woman. Marrying her is a business without profits!" Becky cursed as she walked through the side door. When she saw the dazzling Sophia, her eyes were full of hatred. The media reporters immediately turned the cameras to Becky and shot constantly. Sophia''s face was ame about the vicious curse. She held Andrew''s sleeve tightly, looked at the mother of her ex-husband and retorted, "I got married with your son for three years, but he didn''t touch me at all. It will be a big news if I can be pregnant. By the way, Auntie Becky, Ryan doesn''t have a father either. It seems that it''s possible for a woman to give birth to a baby without husband." An eye for an eye. She would never allow herself to be bullied again. Linda, who was standing next to Sophia, ran to her with tears in her eyes. She held up Sophia''s wrist and cried, "Sister, you can''t me all these on Ryan. He is a man. How can he tolerate you having an affair with Mr. Andrew for so many years in private? I know I have done wrong to you. But please, sister. I really love Ryan..." What a wonderful drama! People who didn''t know the truth might really think that Sophia was a vicious woman. And Linda''s pitiful appearance made those uninitiated felt sorry for her, but no one cared about the dirty truth. With a sneer, Sophia mocked, "Whatever I don''t want is rubbish, no matter how good it is. I don''t care whether you love each other or not. For the sake of family ties, Ie to your wedding with your brother-inw and congratte you. Is there anything wrong?" Linda''s heart was full of hatred but she was put to silence. Without anyone noticing, Becky raised her hand and pped Sophia. If Andrew didn''t react timely and held Sophia, she would have been pped in the face. Andrew wore a grim look, and everyone felt that the temperature around him dropped in an instant. He bent over and whispered in Becky''s ear, "I can take over your son''spany within an hour, and then you will lost everything." Becky gnashed her teeth in hatred and stared at Sophia viciously. Then she bent down and bowed, "Miss. Sophia, I''m really sorry. I drank some wine when I came here. It seems that I have a rpse." Becky squeezed every word out of her teeth. Surprised by the sudden change of her attitude, Sophia looked at Andrew in shock. Chapter 6 Pull The Scumbag To The Hell Chapter 6 Pull The Scumbag To The Hell Becky''s reaction caught Sophia off guard. Sophia didn''t think it was a good idea to say it in front of the media. She could only smile and respond, "Auntie, when did you get an amnesia? This is a serious illness. You must treat it as soon as possible and don''t dy the condition. " Becky on the side had to suppress her anger and smile all the time. Seeing this, Linda followed closely behind Sophia and held her wrist tightly. "Sophia, I know you want to restore the rtionship between you and Ryan. But how do you ingratiate yourself with my mother-inw in front of so many people. Otherwise, I''m your cousin. Ryan doesn''t love you anymore. Please let him go..." The shrill scream made Sophia stunned. Before she could react, Linda had already rolled down the stairs at the door of the hotel, and Linda''s eyes were locked on her. [ ] covered her lower abdomen in pain. "I''m a bitch. I shouldn''t have been a third party who destroyed your marriage with E. But you are so cruel! My baby... " Ryan rushed to Linda madly and picked her up. The white wedding dress was stained with blood and it was like blooming scarlet flowers. With a DV yer and shlights swarming in front of Sophia, she could only hear the clicking of the shutter. In a trance, Sophia seemed to have seen her father jump from the building. The blood must be more? Her eyes were slightly red, and in an instant, someone shouted behind her, "Sophia, I can see that you are very unstable now. Did you personally push your cousin, the current wife of your ex-husband down the stairs? Are you premeditated?" With a questioning voice, Sophia sneered heartily. Is it really necessary to bite the words like this? It was Linda who held her arm just now, and she didn''t move. How did she push Linda down the stairs? Holding [ ] in his arms, [ ] walked to the car. He looked back at her coldly and red at her on the stairs. "We have been married for three years. I have never thought that you are such a vicious woman! Sophia, you are just not human! " She didn''t retort. She just watched Ryan get into the car with Linda in his arms and leave without saying anything. After the reporters left, there were only two people left outside the hotel. "Are you sad that the man is so determined that you are a bitch?" Andrew lit a cigarette and calmly looked at the car driving away. After calming herself down, Sophia sneered, "I was wondering whether many media were taking pictures of my father when he jumped off the building? that scene must have more blood, right? " Andrew''s hand, which was tidying up his cor, paused. This woman was really unusual! When she returned to Andrew''s vi, she curled up in the corner of the sofa, without saying a word, and her brown eyes were tightly locked outside the window. After hanging up the phone, Andrew walked quickly to her and turned on the TV. "ording to today''stest report, the daughter of Lin Group declined and the daughter of Lin Group divorced the president of Fu group. Ryan will marry another woman in a short few days. On the day of their wedding, Sophia, the daughter of Lin group, pushed her cousin down the stairs and caused her miscarriage. ording to the vice president of Li family, Andrew said that he believed Sophia... " The host ''smentary on the TV made Sophiaugh out loud: "The host is going around, does she really know what happened?" Andrew stared at her without saying a word. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Anni opened the door and Ryan broke in. Looking at Sophia on the sofa so cozy, Ryan was even more angry. He quickly walked to Sophia, and pointed at her and shouted, "Sophia! Did you ask someone to say that on TV? And you are going to marry Andrew. How can you be so shameless? Is it because your father is dead and you have to rely on another men to support you? " Immediately, Sophia picked up the champagne in front of her and poured it on Ryan, and then she thrown the ss cup to the ground. " It''s true that dogs will bite people randomly when they are anxious. We are divorced now. Even if I Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. marry your father, it won''t be your business, right? I have to rely on men to support me. At least, I''m fair and aboveboard. It''s better than someone rely on his wife''s and living in her house and cheating on her, isn''t it? " ''After all, Sophia was a debutante, '' but in Andrew''s eyes, '' she was as bad as an aunt who cursed on TV.'' However, what she said was quite funny. Andrew didn''t expect that Ryan, who came to make trouble for Sophia, was immediately frustrated. At this moment, Andrewzily stepped forward and pulled Sophia into his arms. He looked at Ryan provocatively and said, "but you can''t afford to raise the woman in your whole life. If you continue to be entangled with her, I can make you regret for the rest of your life! " He red at the sweet faces of Sophia and Andrew in front of him. One was a business tycoon of his peers, and the other was his once abandoned wife. He had mixed feelings. It was jealousy. Even if Sophia''s father passed away and the Lin family was destroyed, Sophia could still live afortable life Ryan mmed the door and walked out. He didn''t expect that he would be defeated when he came prepared. In the hospital, Linda grabbed the sheet angrily, tears rolling in her eyes. "I have been suppressed by her since I was a child! I didn''t care about the past. But this time, Sophia killed our child! Ryan, you are so cruel! " Tired and speechless, he had nothing to do. The anger brought by [ ] also aroused the dissatisfaction in Ryan''s heart. He red at [ ] and said, "that''s enough. How many years can you talk about such a thing? how can I fight against Andrew? You''re courting death. But I don''t want to do that! " Ryan''s roar was much more useful to Linda. She not only stopped making trouble. but also endured the pain in her belly and stood up pouring a ss of milk for Ryan. She looked at him gently and said, "honey, I might have been a little anxious just now, but we have tried our best for so long. This child is the crystal of our love. I''m sorry to make you suffer in front of Andrew. " As Linda spoke, she slipped into the strong arm of Ryan. It was always difficult for men to resist the tenderness of women, and Ryan was no exception. He snorted and said nothing more. But Linda knew that even though Ryan didn''t say anything now, he must be plotting something. Chapter 7 Inexplicable Trouble Chapter 7 Inexplicable Trouble The emotions umted at the bottom of Ryan''s heart for so many years burst out, and the tenderness of Linda was a sharp contrast to the lukewarm of Sophia. In the past years, Sophia was like a delicate puppet doll, programmed to do her own things every day. In contrast, Linda was more like a real person. As if he have set up his mind, Ryan quickly pressed the button of his mobile phone. He talk to the other end of the line in a low voice, stood up quickly and took a meaningful nce at Linda, "Have a good rest. See youter." After saying that, Ryan left the room, leaving Linda lying on the bed alone. Linda looked out the window with empty eyes. Because of the perfunctory attitude of Ryan, she hate Sophia more than ever. In the vi of Li family. Sophia didn''t know why she could sleep so well in Andrew''s house. But when she woke up, there was no one around. The hourly workers usually left after cleaning the house. Covering her hungry belly, she felt a little disappointed because she was alone again. She grabbed the spaghetti in the fridge and cooked some. The dinner was just ready. When Andrew pushed open the door, he was greeted by a delicious odor. He looked at the kitchen in surprise. At that moment Sophia was walking towards the dining room with the spaghetti in her hands. She looked embarrassed, as if she was eating on the sly. "Well, I don''t know if you wille back or not, so I didn''t cook your food." As she spoke, she went back to the kitchen to take the borscht from microwave oven. As soon as she took out the steaming borscht and walked out of the kitchen, she was stunned by the scene in front of her. Well, Andrew didn''t stand on ceremony at all. He was holding a steel fork, chewing spaghetti slowly while reading newspaper. Sophia dare notin. After all, she was now living in the house of Andrew. She scratched her head and went back to kitchen to make another spaghetti. This time, Sophia deliberately put a lot of shrimp into the spaghetti. Anyway, the food was also Andrew''s! She rolled her eyes at Andrew and sat cross-legged on the cashmere carpet in front of the TV. And then she pressed the remote control and turned on the TV. "It is said that the Lin Group was in heavy debt five years ago, and the daughter of the Lin family, Miss Sophia is a famous escort girl in the noble circle. What''s more, she cheated Mr. Ryan and married him by unfair means. Now Mr. Ryan have to share the debt of up to..." With a click, Andrew turned off the TV bossily. There was a terrible silence in the room. Sophia rushed madly to turn on theputer. There were a lot of reports and videos, not only in the media but also in the campus website of her alma mater. For a moment, Sophia doubted that she might have a schizoid. The girl''s figure and behavior in the video was indeed very simr to hers. But... "Sophia, no one can imitate the things that are born with you." Andrew''s words came in her ears repeatedly. Sophia lowered her head and nced at the walnut sized heart-shaped birthmark in her hand. She knew that those people didn''t care about the truth at all! "So what? What do you think a person like me who lives in this world stealthily will care about?" Sophia said calmly. There was no expression on her face. Surely there was a limit to what one can bear. Once this limit was exceeded, one would definitely burst ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. out. Andrew''s eyes were not as icy as before. He put down the newspaper and turned back to his room. In his impression, all of the women were troublesome, but it was the first time he had seen a woman like Sophia. Sophia browsed posts on herptop for almost a whole day. She read thements one by one seriously. Most of people made sarcasticments, trying to stir up troubles to amuse themselves. Unexpectedly, all thements on the Inte disappeared in less than an hour. She couldn''t even find any clues, which made Sophia so confused. When searching her own name on the Inte, the only information showed was only "daughter of Lin Group". All of a sudden, everything went smoothly. With ck circles under her eyes, Sophia curled up in bed with tiredness. Three dayster, Linda sent an invitation of a banquet. After all, the two of them had already got the marriage license, not to mention it was Ryan''s second marriage. There were so many incidents recently, presumably they didn''t dare to hold a grand wedding. Sophia rubbed her sleepy eyes. It was half past twelve at midnight. She went out to get a ss of water and went back to her room. It was dark outside, and her heart was in a mess. Turning on all the lights in the room, Sophia leaned against the wall and sat on the floor. She sat there for a whole night. On the way to the hotel next day, Sophia sat in Andrew''s car, managed to keep her eyelids from fluttering closed. She was so sleepy. "How about sending you back to have a rest?" Andrew nced at the woman in the passenger seat. Her delicate face was full of fatigue. Sophia declined his suggestion with a wave of her hand. She sighed and walked into the hotel with Andrew arm in arm. From the entrance to the sign-in desk, everything is well decorated. People could see that Ryan did care about Linda. After all, it was just a banquet held by Mrs. Linda. However, it was grander thanmon wedding parties. Linda entered the banquet hall in a pumpkin carriage, wearing a wedding dress customized by Swarovski and Disney, which was a special style of Cindere Style. She walked gracefully towards the center of the stage. Andrew didn''t like this kind of boring asion at all. But he was a business tycoon after all. A lot of elites scrambled to propose a toast to him. It had been a long time since Sophia attended such an asion. She was not used to it, especially when Ryan and Linda stood in the stage, who was like a time bomb that could explode at any time. Among a crowd of debutantes nearby, Joyce picked up her ss and nced back. Inadvertently, she saw Sophia. Linda had told her a lot about Sophia with fictions. Moreover, it seemed to her that she was the one who would be Andrew''s wife. Looking at the hesitant and indifferent Sophia, Joyce clenched her fists with resentment. She walked towards Sophia arrogantly, her sixteen centimeter high heels ttering on the ground. Joyce took a ss of champagne from the waiter and handed it to Sophia. "Hello, Miss Sophia." She said as she reached out to shake hands with Sophia. Sophia was very surprise, ''Is this woman the star who is often reported on TV, Joyce? There are rumors that she is Andrew''s mysterious girlfriend.'' Sophia wasn''t a woman to be trifled with. She took over the ss and put it on the table behind her. The two of them looked at each other. It''s obvious that Joyce came with evil intent. There was a sharp knife in the eyes. Chapter 8 Dont Touch My Woman! Chapter 8 Don''t Touch My Woman! For a moment, Sophia felt a little nervous. After all, Joyce had strong charisma indeed. Sophia paused for a while and said, "I''m sorry, Miss Joyce. I don''t drink at all." "Really? I heard that Miss Sophia was hospitalized for drinking some time ago? Don''t you want to do it for my sake? Or you Sophia feel sick at the sight of me? Come on. It''s just a ss of champagne." There was a calm expression on Joyce''s face, which made Sophia to be on high alert. Looking around, she didn''t find Andrew. It was obvious that he had owed a debt of love, but now Sophia had to get him out of trouble. Frowning, Sophia didn''t say anything. She hesitated between champagne and soda with for a long time. "Miss Joyce, I really can''t drink. I have severe alcohol allergy. How about I rece champagne by tea?" Before she could finish her words, Joyce swung the ss of wine in her hand and poured it down. The wine streamed from Sophia''s hair. Her dress was dyed red by the scarlet liquid. Everyone''s eyes were focused on Sophia. Her embarrassed look almost made Joyceugh. What''s more, in the eyes of Joyce, Sophia was just the daughter of a nouveau riche, and had no taste at all. So no matter how she made fun of Sophia, in Joyce''s eyes, only Sophia was the contemptible scoundrel. However, Joyce didn''t know that a pair of eyes were staring at the two of them not far away, watching every move of her. Sophia soon got back herposure. She fixed her hair and sulked, "I don''t know there are something wrong with Miss Joyce''s arm. How about I introduce a famous Chinese doctor to you?" "Well, Sophia, don''t me me for sshing you wine just now. You are such an ungrateful bitch. First of all you took your cousin''s boyfriend, and then took away Andrew. You are really a repeat offender. Tell me, do you have a special sense of aplishment when you sleep with other people''s men?" Joyce''s voice was louder and louder. The man behind her stepped up his pace. A group of people gathered around and kept talking about them. As more and more people gathered, Joyce was about to show off, "I didn''t mean to do that. I have apologized, but Miss Sophia just won''t let me go. Why don''t we ask everyone to decide which side is right? Do you want me to bow ny degrees to apologize to you?" A crisp sound of p stopped the mors ofments. Andrew picked up his ss and poured the wine on Joyce without hesitation. Immediately, Joyce''s face turned red as a persimmon on a tree in August. But considering her identity, she had to pretend to be indifferent. Looking at the expression on Andrew''s face, she knew that he was about to lose his temper. Joyce had no option but to say bossily, "Mr. Andrew, You didn''t drink too much but you are drunk just now? Aren''t you a heavyweight? Oh, I see. It can be said that you can only see the new smile but not the old cry." Her words aroused everyone''s suspicion. What did she mean by saying that he can only see the new smile but not the old cry? Obviously, she wanted everyone to think that she might be Andrew''s ex- girlfriend. Of course, in fact Sophia didn''t care about the private affairs of Andrew at all. Looking at the two people in front of her, Sophia didn''t know what to say. There were reporters outside the door. She didn''t want to make the headlines again with Andrew. ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. "Don''t touch my woman!" Andrew''s tone was gentle and slow, but it sounded more like an order. Joyce and Andrew looked at each other and she felt timid. But under the circumstances... Not far away, Linda saw that things had happened out of her expectation. It seemed that Joyce was on the losing side. Linda quickly ran over, held the arm of Joyce and sobbed, "Joyce, I''m really sorry. I shouldn''t have invited my cousin, but I thought that we were sisters after all. I didn''t expect her to..." Obviously the two were ying a duet, but the people around them condemned Sophia more than once. In a fit of anger. A smile appeared on the corner of Sophia''s mouth. "I''m really sorry, Linda. But I don''t feel guilty for ruining your wedding for two times. Maybe you were in the same mood when you took your brother-inw away. However, Ryan might be a treasure to you. He was just a piece of garbage in my eyes. Of course, if you want to fight back with an eye for an eye, you are always wee at my wedding with Andrew." Her speech made the married women around feel sorry for her. Andrew took the initiative to raise a hand to Sophia, and the two of them walked out of the hotel in full swing. It was not until Sophia let go of her hand that she realized that her palm was full of sweat, yet she was still pretending to be strong in front of everyone. "You had done a good job." Andrew''s sudden words startled Sophia. She patted her chest and took a sip of water to calm herself down. "I didn''t see Ryan just now. If those bitches were both there, I would probably be unable to control my desire to pick up a knife all the time." "Okay, let''s do it at our wedding." Looking at the serious look on Andrew''s face, Sophia didn''t think he was joking. She almost spat out a mouthful of water, choking herself to tears. She took a deep breath and felt warm at the thought of the support from Andrew in front of so many people. Sophia had been with him for a while, and now she thought Andrew was a nice man. He was just a little strange in many aspects. When they returned to the vi, Sophia thought for a while. Just now, Andrew had helped her fight back with an eye for an eye. She really didn''t have anything to repay him. She nced at the fridge and wondered if she should make spaghetti as reward? "Well, do you want to eat something? How about I cook spaghetti?" She looked at him tentatively. Staring at the screen of theputer, Andrew replied without hesitation, "Let''s make the sweet and sour spareribs you posted in the log." Sweet and sour spareribs? The log? That was the first dish Sophia had learned to cook a few years ago. Was it true that Andrew had such a strange hobby to check through her logs posted so many years ago? Thinking of this, Sophia felt that it was too horrible. But after all, she had been helped by Andrew before, she had better go to the kitchen to prepare the food. Chapter 9 Attending My Wedding Chapter 9 Attending My Wedding Didn''t know since when, Sophia suddenly felt a sense of belonging when she was cooking. ''During the marriage with Ryan, he barely ate the food I cooked. Suddenly, a man sit on the sofa waiting for me to cook for him. The feeling cannot be described in words. In any case, the cold-faced man, Andrew, helps me several times today.'' When Sophia was cooking, she was very attentive. After all, she had nothing to repay him, so she could only use it as a reward. Sophia carefully put the delicious dishes on the te, even decorated it with some carved radish, while Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Andrew was still sitting silently at the table, staring at the newspaper in his hand. Andrew was silent from the beginning to the end of the meal, which made Sophia suspect her cooking skills. She nced at him and asked, "Is it because I cooked too badly? I, I think the taste is alright." "Not bad." Andrew replied shortly, didn''t seem to be perfunctory at all. But Sophia still felt something was wrong. After a while, Andrew said again, "Keep quiet during meals and bedtime. I don''t like to talk during dinner." "Oh," she said and then devote herself cleaning the kitchen. "I married you because I want you to be my wife. I don''tck servants." Andrew crossed his arms in front of his chest with contempt. With the bowl holding in her hands, Sophia stopped the cleaning. She was in a daze and didn''t know if she should continue. Seeing Andrew left silently, Sophia suddenly felt discouraged just like a withered eggnt. She put down the bowl and chopsticks with a mncholy face. Washing dishes was supposed to be a regr housework, but why did it turn out to be her fault? When Sophia went back to her room, she still couldn''t figure it out. It was alreadyte at night when she woke up. It''s not long after dinner, but Sophia was hungry again. She covered her belly and walked to the living room. When she raised her head and saw a figure, she was really shocked. "Miss Sophia, right? I... I''m the new maid. My surname is Song. Just call me Nancy." Nancy smiled amiably at Sophia and then walked towards the handrail to press the light switch. With an embarrassed smile, Sophia went straight to the kitchen. The tableware had been cleaned up by Nancy. Sophia was still surprised by her appearance, ''I just slept for a while. Where did this Nancye from suddenly?'' Failed to find anything to eat in the kitchen, Sophia sighed. She was really embarrassed to ask Nancy to prepare food for her. For some reason, Sophia felt uneasy when thought of the episode after dinner. It felt like when she had secretly done something bad in her childhood. Tossing and turning all night, she couldn''t fall asleep. All kinds of delicious food were lingering in her mind. She endured the hunger and finally stayed up until six thirty in the morning. ''It won''t be too embarrassing to go out for food now?'' Sophia thought. It was quiet in the living room. It seemed that Nancy and Andrew hadn''t gotten up yet. She took out arge bag of spaghetti from the cupboard. There was nothing else that she could cook in the morning. As soon as she closed the door of the cupboard, Andrew appeared from behind and said abruptly, "Let''s go out for breakfast." Hearing that, Sophia was stunned. Could he read mind? She opened her mouth in surprise and didn''t know what to say. When she came to her senses, she found that Andrew had already walked quickly to the gate. Sophia got on Andrew''s car with disheveled look. She had nned to go back to take a shower and get changed, but he didn''t give her the chance. Sophia didn''t expect that Andrew''s car would stop right outside the Manston Hotel. Andrew was always clean and tidy. The two of them were in sharp contrast. Sophia followed him with her head down. It was only seven o''clock. All kinds of people were sitting in the hall and they were all dressed up. How she wished she could hide herself under the ground. Sophia felt ufortable when having breakfast. "I... Why don''t we pack the food and eat at home? Are you taking me here to humiliate me or have breakfast with me?" Frowning, Sophia kept ming the man beside her. Suddenly, a handbag was ced in front of her. Sophia looked back and found it was Joyce! Joyce, with exquisite makeup, looked down at Sophia, pulled out a chair and sat elegantly beside her. "I didn''t expect to meet you here. Waiter. A sandwich with ck caviar from Hokkaido and a millet sea cucumbers for Miss Sophia." Soon, Joyce took the initiative and acted like a host, which made Sophia ufortable. Sophia took a look at the corn soup in her bowl. She always thought that light food is a good choice for breakfast. Joyce ordered caviar and millet sea cucumbers in the early morning. Wasn''t she afraid to get sick? Sophia shook her hands and said she didn''t need it. Andrew stood aside from the beginning to end and cut the toast in front of him meticulously. Sophia had thought that Joyce would leave, but she didn''t expect that Joyce took a sip of the sandwich and continue the conversation, "Miss Sophia, you are going to be Mr. Andrew''s wife in the future. You should pay attention to your behavior and dressing when you go out. After all, all the people in the Manston are celebrities. But you dressed like a child." Joyce burst intoughter, her eyes still fixed on the Michelle pajamas on Sophia. Taking a deep breath, Sophia retorted, "Miss Joyce, it''s none of your business. Besides, I can''t do anything about it. Andrew likes me to dress in this way. He bought dozens of Disney pajamas for me to change every day. I want to get changed when we go out, but he doesn''t allow me to." As Sophia spoke, she winked at Andrew. Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Andrew leanedzily against the back of the sofa and held Sophia into his arms. "What? Do you think anyone here dare to say that you''re wearing ugly clothes? Then I will purchase Manston today. From tomorrow on, this hotel belongs to the Li Family. It cannot be too much to wear pajamas at your own home, right?" Joyce didn''t expect that Andrew would shield Sophia. She red at the woman in front of her and felt ashamed as if she was a contemptible scoundrel. Stunned for a moment, Joyce picked up her handbag and said arrogantly, "Of course, it doesn''t matter what Miss Sophia wear at home. My agent should have sent the termination contract to Mr. Andrew''s e-mail. Mr. Andrew is rich, but you can''t buy my personal freedom. By the way, I''ve already prepared my dresses to your wedding." Chapter 10 Call Her Mrs. Andrew From Now On Chapter 10 Call Her Mrs. Andrew From Now On Joyce''s words made Sophia confused. She kept guessing whether the rtionship between the two was busted up because of her appearance, and she even felt a little resistant in the bottom of her heart. After all, there were rumors on the Inte before, and many people said that Joyce was the rumored girlfriend of Andrew. People even called her "Andrew''s Lady". Wait... Before Sophia got back herposure, Joyce had already left. "Are you full?" Hearing this, Sophia nodded quickly. She didn''t want to stay here any longer. Compared with talking with Joyce, Sophia was more willing to stay in the shadow of being bullied by a cold-faced man all day long. The man quickly stood up. His upright figure came into her view. The expensive shirt was tidied meticulously without any wrinkles. Sophia had been absent-minded for a long while before she caught up with Andrew. Sitting in the front passenger seat, she looked out of the window. It was eight o''clock in the morning, and all the people came and went to work. Therefore, she thought that she was like a parasite living in Andrew''s house now. Taking a deep breath, she plucked up her courage and said, "I''ve been living in your house as freeloader. I feel bad about it. Could you ask your friends to find me a job?" "I can afford you, can''t I?" Andrew sudden pedaled the brake, which caught Sophia off guard and she almost hit the window. It was the first time in Sophia''s life that someone had spoken to her like this. She was at a loss. Looking at Andrew, Sophia didn''t know how to exin her idea to him clearly. After a long pause, Sophia spoke again, "I just feel that I''ve been a housewife for a long time, and I''m almost out of line with the whole society. I want to have my own career so that I can follow the progress of the whole society." "So you want to improve yourself for the purpose of going back to take revenge?" Sophia didn''t know why, but Andrew responded sharply every time. The two words of "take revenge" lingered in Sophia''s mind like a brand. How easy would it be to take revenge? How could she have the qualification to confront the two of Ryan and Linda? To her surprise, Andrew didn''t mean to make things difficult for her. But what happened next made Sophia stunned. The car drove away, not on their way back to the vi at all. Not far away, the Li Group building came into view. It couldn''t be taking her directly to work now? Sophia carefully nced at herself from the rearview mirror. ''I am in such a slovenly manner. I will definitely be the object of ridicule among those employees secretly.'' She opened the door and trotted behind Andrew. When Andrew arrived at the shopping mall downstairs, he stopped outside a shop. Sophia raised her head and took a look. Ferragamo? She used to think that this brand was a little too orthodox. The price was eptable for Sophia before she got married. But things were different now. She couldn''t afford any of these short skirts. Even if she regained her status now, she was afraid that she wouldn''t be so extravagant anymore. "I want an OL style suit. We are in a hurry." Andrew looked serious and didn''t seem to be joking at all. Besides the shop assistants, Sophia was the only woman around. Who else could it be? After careful selection, the saleswoman chose a beige vest dress for Sophia. The neckline of the dress was curved, which made her look dignified and not too nd. Standing in front of the mirror, Sophia looked at herself earnestly. N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. To be seriously, it was the first time for her to try such a style. As long as Sophia didn''t dress like an old woman, she would look beautiful even if she was wearing clothes bought from roadside booths. Suddenly, a hand swept past her hair tail, and her xen long hair fell over her shoulders. When Sophia loosened the hair rope, her hair seemed a little curly and natural. Andrew stood still with his arms crossed over his chest and looked at her. She was very beautiful. At this moment, she looked like a handcraft. Of course, standing in front of the mirror, Sophia noticed her goodliness. Even though her figure was mediocre and didn''t have firm abs, Sophia was born with an extraordinary temperament and was raised in the rich way. After dressing up, she seemed to be back to the past. The difference was that she would never be happy all the time. As thus, they stepped into the Li group building together. It was the first time that Sophia hade to the Li Group. It was poverty that restricted her imagination. Sophia didn''t expect that the whole building and shopping mall were owned by the Li Group. What''s more, there were vimunity developed by the Li Group and the movies and television invested by it in the whole province. What job could she do if Andrew asked her to work here? A man wearing ck frame sses saw the two of them and walked forward unhurriedly with a folder in his hand. There seemed to be a touch of surprise in his eyes when he looked at Sophia. "Are you Miss Sophia? Nice to meet you. My name is Damian, Mr. Andrew''s personal assistant." As Damian spoke, he nced at Sophia from the corner of his eye. She was a little ufortable because of his vignce. When she was about to shake hands with Damian, Andrew said coldly, "You''d better call her Mrs. Andrew. From now on, she''ll take over your position. As the special assistant of president assistant, you''re in charge of tutoring Mrs. Andrew." Mrs. Andrew? Sophia''s eyes rounded with surprise. She kept staring at Andrew. He really called her that naturally! Looking at the helpless expression on Damian''s face, Sophia felt somewhat apologetic. After all, Damian had been demoted as soon as she came here. How could it be appropriate? "Andrew, are you sure?" Embarrassed, she stared at Damian. "Damian''s sry will be increased by 3%. Besides, call me Mr. Andrew from now on in thepany." There was no trace of warmth in Andrew''s tone. No one could tell whether he was angry or he was always so serious when he spoke. Therefore, Sophia stood aside with an expression of grievance on her face, ''How could this man change his emotion faster than flip through a book?'' Even so, she quickly nodded and said, "Mr. Andrew is right." It was Monday, so Sophia happened to attend the weekly meeting. Damian passed theputer to Sophia and opened the folder for her at his convenience. "Mrs. Andrew, I used to do all these jobs before. Since Mr. Andrew appointed you to take my ce, so I have to trouble you." His tone was respectful. It was difficult for Sophia to adapt to such a conversation. After all, they were colleagues. ncing at the document, Sophia quickly understood what she should do in the meeting. She should record the content of the meeting word by word. Surely she was qualified for the work. But in less than five minutes at the beginning, she had lost herself in thought. Chapter 11 Presidents Secretary Chapter 11 President''s Secretary Sophia looked around and saw rows of neat and orderly tables and chairs. Andrew was making a speech. Those men and women were sitting on their own chairs like robot, looking at Andrew with a grim expression. Staring at Andrew not far away, Sophia was absent-minded gradually. His charisma as president could not be hided. For a moment, Sophia felt that Andrew was somewhat handsome when he was serious. Suddenly, she looked into Andrew''s eyes, which made her heart beat faster. Her hand holding the ss shook violently, and water was poured out on theptop. It was a mess, but all the employees in the meeting room seemed to have made an appointment. They were still looking at Andrew as before. Damian rushed over quickly and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to help her wipe the water. After tidying up the table, Andrew had finished his speech and even walked out of the meeting room. A woman in ck sses and a business suit walked straightly to Sophia, knocked on the table and said, "This is our president''s new secretary, Sophia Lin." Sophia scratched her head and gave an embarrassed smile. The employees booed and hissed at this news. After all the people left the meeting room, Sophia opened the door and walked out. Damian followed her and whispered in her ear, "Mrs. Andrew. That is Lisa, the CFO of ourpany. She works for Mr. Andrew''s father, Mr. Carlos Li. So when you see her in the future, try your best to avoid her. She is not on the same boat with president and us. " When the talk was just finished, the two of them arrived at the door of the staircase. As soon as they opened the door, they heard the whispers outside. "Oh, everyone has seen that news. Who knows what she sees in Mr. Andrew!" "Well, they haven''t got their marriage certificate yet, and no appointment has been made. Now even that ''Mr. Andrew''s Lady'' Joyce is sidelined. Why is this Sophia so arrogant?" "Cough, cough." Damian coughed out of embarrassment. The women quickly looked back. When they saw Sophia, the expression on their faces was as if they had eaten a dead fly. However, on the other hand, there was a calm andposed look on Sophia''s face. She softly smiled and said, "We will be colleagues from now on. Nice to meet you." Her tone and aura were just right. From the moment her father passed away. Sophia had expected that these things would happen, and she knew that these were part of her life, so she had to face them. The female colleagues who were whispering to each other probably didn''t expect that Sophia could be so indifferent. They smiled awkwardly and left quickly. There were only the two of them in the staircase. Damian opened his mouth and hesitated. He took Sophia to the top floor. There were only two offices on this floor. One was for Andrew, and the other was for Damian. Now Sophia was here, Damian had to pack up his things and sit next to her. Of course, Sophia didn''t know this until she arrived at the office. "Mrs. Andrew, look, there is a French window behind us. Of course, this office is definitely not me." Damian said with a humble look, throwing his personal necessities into the trash can on the ground. The door was pushed open in an instant. With a cold and condescending expression on Andrew''s face, he nced at the two people in the office and gave an order, "Throw away all the furniture here. Change a new one ording to Mrs. Andrew''s requirements." Sitting on the chair, Sophia stared at Andrew in a daze. The tables and chairs were all made of leather, and even the protective cover on the sofa feet was not torn off yet. Wasn''t it too extravagant and wasteful? Sophia stood up in a hurry to stop Andrew, "Forget it. I like these office furniture very much, really!" "Mrs. Andrew is a frugal woman. Mr. Andrew, do you want to change the furniture?" As soon as Damian finished his words, Sophia''s face turned as red as a persimmon in August. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. Immediately, a sinister smile appeared at the corners of Andrew''s mouth. "Then do as Mrs. Andrew said. I won''t throw them away now." The way Andrew addressed her made Sophia almost unable to stand on her feet. However, the atmosphere changed quickly. Before she could react, Andrew nced at the notebook on the table seriously and asked, "In the meeting room, didn''t Damian ask you to make the meeting records?" "What? Here is the thing. I spilled a ss of water just now, and theputer couldn''t be turned on..." Sophia felt very nervous. Was Andrew a schizophrenic? In the blink of an eye, he had changed so fast. When talking with Andrew, Sophia didn''t forget to give Damian a look. The two of them winked back and forth under Andrew''s nose. When he fixed his cold gaze on Damian, Damian stammered, "Yes, Mr. Andrew. Mrs. Andrew was really taking notes seriously when she was in the office just now." ''But what if Andrew asked me about the meeting minutester?'' Before Sophia could straighten out her thoughts, Andrew said, "Then let assistant Sophia tell me first. What did I say in the meeting?" How Sophia wished she could strangle herself to death! Why was she absent-minded just now! However, in front of such a powerful aura of Andrew, Sophia plucked up the courage to patch up the lie. "After all, I''ve just started my career. In fact, I don''t understand a single word of those professional words you said. In general, ourpany is about to develop new buildings and needs to withdraw some funds from movie investment. Am I right, Mr. Andrew?" Sophia slightly raised her eyebrows, seemed like she was quite confident. Although she was absent- minded just now, she knew a little about the meeting content. After all, a group like Li Group, apart from the entertainment industry and real estate, would it also invest in the construction of an airport? Andrew didn''t say anything, but turned around and left directly. Sophia and Damian stood still behind. Andrew was always like this. He might leave at the drop of a hat, leaving no room for others to react. Damian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mrs. Andrew, don''t worry. As long as Mr. Andrew doesn''t say anything, it means there is no big problem about what you just said. Moreover, your words are correct. You roughly summarized the investment and construction of the project that Mr. Andrew had talked about in the meeting." Sophia felt like she had fallen into a bottomless pit. Chapter 12 Terminate the Contract Chapter 12 Terminate the Contract Of course, Sophia didn''t have too much time to be depressed. She was called to the financial office. Rows upon rows of dark grey rooms, Sophia really couldn''t find out which was the right one. Looking at the colleagues around who were devoted to their work, Sophia intended to ask them for help first. But they just looked right through her. She finally gave up. After searching for a while, Sophia finally found the financial office. As soon as she pushed the door open, she bumped into Lisa. An unexpected scene came into view. With an enchanting face, the woman''s delicate hand inadvertently scratched the corbone of the man''s neck. "Well, Lisa, I''m sorry. I was about to knock on the door, but the door was not closed. I''m really sorry." Sophia apologize with an awkward smile on her face. Lisa rolled her eyes at Sophia and pointed at her angrily. "Miss Sophia, I don''t care what is the rtionship between you and Mr. Andrew. At least you should have the quality, right? Come with me." Lisa''s sternness was beyond Sophia''s expectation. Especially when she thought of the scene just now, Sophia began to worry that Lisa would make things hard for her. Sophia followed Lisa to the office next door. Lisa went straightly to the desk, took out a folder from the drawer and threw it on the table. With her hands crossed over her chest, Lisa said in a condescending manner, "This is Miss Joyce''swyer''s letter of appeal for terminating the contract with ourpany. You go deal with it." Awyer''s letter? The questions kept popping up in Sophia''s mind. ''Is it just a simple termination of the contract? Why does Joyce need awyer''s letter?'' Then she picked up the folder and walked quickly to her office. After sitting down, Sophia took a serious look at the appeal document. It was nothing more than a story about how Andrew humiliated Joyce in public. As a result, people thought that Joyce was a vicious ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. woman and her acting career was in trouble. The follow-up was the most ridiculous. It was said that because this matter had been reported on the news, the investors were very dissatisfied with Joyce. They withdrew the investment in three TV dramas and a movie. What was more, she couldn''t go to the fashion week because of the rumors recently. The totalpensation was up to about eighteen million! After reading the appeal, Sophia was stunned. Damian was not by her side right now, and there was no one to turn to. She carefully picked up the fixed line phone in the office and dialed the number of Joyce''s assistant. "Hello, I''m Mr. Andrew''s assistant in Li Group. My name is Sophia Lin..." Before she could continue, the person on the other side of the phone had already hung up. When Sophia called back, there was a busy signal. She didn''t know what to do. After all, she hadn''t finished the work arranged by Andrew, and there was an appeal from Joyce waiting for her to deal with. When Sophia was at a loss, her private phone rang. On the other end of the phone, a man with a Beijing ent said, "Hello, Miss Sophia. We have entrusted you with the task by Joy. Are you free tonight? Joy wants to talk to you face to face." ''Joy? Joyce?'' "I''m not free tonight," Sophia replied hastily. "Of course, in order to deal with the dispute between Miss Joyce and ourpany, I have to squeeze out time no matter how busy I am, right?" "Half past eight in the evening, the King Hotel." After saying that, the man hung up the phone in a hurry. Standing in front of the French window and looking around, Sophia hesitated for a long time. At about seven o''clock, she finally picked up her coat and went downstairs in a hurry. Sophia took a taxi to the King Hotel. She was worried about what she would say if Andrew called her, but she didn''t expect that he hadn''t contacted her. Outside the magnificent hotel, Sophia slowly got out of the taxi. Before entering the hotel, she didn''t forget to take out the small mirror in her bag to fix her makeup. After telling the receptionist the name of Joyce, the waiter took her to a private room. What Sophia didn''t expect was that the name of this hotel was really modern, but the decoration inside was in Korean style, and even the dishes served by the waiters were Korean cuisine. When she opened the door of the box, she saw that Joyce was sitting cross legged on a cattail hassock in a simple casual suit. "Miss Sophia, please have a seat." As she spoke, Joyce took up the plum wine and poured it into the ss in front of Sophia. From the beginning to the end, Sophia hated such a way of eating. ''Wouldn''t her legs be numb after sitting cross legged?'' But after all, Joyce was the guest today. Sophia sat down slowly and pulled her skirt to avoid wardrobe malfunction. "I''m a Korean. I came to China when I was eight years old. Are you dissatisfied with the restaurant I chose?" Joyce smiled with contempt. Sophia shook her head while refusing to drink. However, Joyce didn''t listen to her. She sneered and said, "Miss Sophia, don''t you know that in China your sincerity in negotiating with others is to drink more? Now that everyone was equal and there was no distinction between men and women. How could those men not drink in business negotiation? Or you are not sincere to me?" Seeing that Sophia just stared at the ss in front of her without any movement, Joyce added fuel to the fire. "Actually, I didn''t mean to get the ten million. But I don''t think Mr. Andrew will care about the money, right? I have an agreement with the En Group, so I have no choice." Of course, it was impossible for Joyce not to know that Sophia was allergic to alcohol. Holding the delicate ss in front of her, Sophia felt indescribable tangled in her heart. ''After all, it was because of me that Andrew poured a ss of wine on Joyce. If I really drink it and make Joyce withdraw thewsuit, wouldn''t it be a great contribution? That is almost eighteen million!'' Under the gazes of Joyce, Sophia wondered whether she should drink it or not. At this moment, her phone rang suddenly. Sophia lowered her head and found it was a call from Andrew! As soon as Joyce saw the name of Andrew, she froze all of a sudden. ''What would happen to me if he came here at this time?'' "Don''t answer it for now. It''s a party between two women." Joyce nced at the door from the corner of her eyes. Finally, the phone stopped vibrating, and Sophia''s heart stopped beating for a moment. The door of the box was opened by someone violently. The man''s angr face showed a trace of anger. When Andrew looked at the ss of wine in Sophia''s hand, his eyes were burning. Andrew red at Joyce beside him and said, "I''ve read the appeal. Ask your agent to send your card number, and I''ll inform the financial department to transfer the money to you." Sophia''s heart was full of remorse. ''I hade toplete the work for thepany''s interests. Why did it seem that I did something bad out of kindness?'' Chapter 13 Find Ones Origin Chapter 13 Find One''s Origin As a matter of fact, Joyce was indeed afraid of Andrew''s arrival. Sophia looked at Andrew. She didn''t know whether she should go or stay. The men around her were very angry. In a panic, she brushed her hair in front of her forehead and calmly opened her mouth. "In fact, I invited Miss Joyce toe here today. She also said that if we sit down and have a good talk, these misunderstandings will be removed." She looked at Andrew with pleading. Without saying a word, Andrew opened the document in his mobile phone and mmed it on the table. "Will she be kind? Joyce, take a good look at these. " Hearing this, Sophia quickly looked at the screen. The woman appeared in the room swaying and then the drug was given in advance in the wine. That was to say, if she really drank the plum wine that Joyce gave her just now, there would get worse and worse. "You yed tricks in the wine on the day of signing the contract, didn''t you? Joyce, do you think this video can ruin your reputation? " Andrew''s tone was firm and his eyes were fierce. Sitting cross legged on the futon, Joyce''s face turned pale. She looked at Sophia in a panic. Of course, if it wasn''t because of the previous few times, Sophia would have been deceived by her. Joyce looked pitiful, not to mention whether Andrew would fall in love with her or not. At this moment, she felt sorry for her. "Okay, this thing is even between you and me. Andrew, just for her, a woman whose reputation was ruined and abandoned by her ex-husband to hurt me. Sooner orter, I will take back everything that belongs to me! Don''t be too proud, Sophia. Miss Li has never had a record that can be maintained for more than a year. " Joyce was exasperated and sneered. The two people in front of her seemed determined to fight to her. After Joyce left in a hurry, Sophia was finally able to rx, just looking at so many delicious things in front of her, although she didn''t like to eat. But she was almost hungry. When she lifted the chopsticks, she was stopped by Andrew at once. He said: e with me." Before she noticed, Sophia had already stood outside the hotel. The two of them got into the car one after the other, and the mobile phone in the car immediately vibrated. Sophia bent down and found it was Andrew''s. A strange phone number came into her view. She looked at [ ], who was starting the car, and asked, "the ending number is 9999. Should I answer this phone?" Hearing the end signal, Andrew was a little excited. He mmed on the brake, picked up his phone and looked at it for a long time. It was not until the fifth ring that he pressed the answer key. "Chairman." "Why don''t you take the bride home to visit your family since you are going to get married? Come back now. I have an important thing to announce! " Although he didn''t put his phone on speaker, the silence in the car was enough for [ ] to hear the conversation clearly on the phone. [ ]''s firm tone was more like an order, which made people feel a little ufortable. After hanging up the phone, Andrew lit a cigarette and looked out of the window indifferently. He always liked to be alone and self-sufficient. Sometimes, Sophia was confused and didn''t know what she should do to get into his world. Half an hourter, they arrived in the purple mountain vi district. On the way back home, Sophia was already very nervous. Because she went home to meet his parents with Andrew. What if Mr. Carlos didn''t like her? Outside the vi, with an extremely unconfident look at Andrew, she said, "I might as well not go. you can send me back. After all, you also know what happen to me. It has been a storm in the city. I''m afraid that Mr. Carlos doesn''t like me. " She looked at the vi awkwardly. And she happened to see the car she was most familiar with. That beige BMW MINI. She still remembered that when she wanted to pay Becky to buy it, Linda forced Sophia to give her a car too. Atst, she carried a total of two cars that day. Even if the cars were the same, what about the license te? How ironic it was! 1109 was her birthday. The fake friendship between them was still vivid in his mind. Looking in the direction of her gaze, he N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content. was shocked. Andrew''s father didn''t like to contact with the outside world all year round. There must have some reason that these two cars suddenly appeared in the vi "What should we do? Linda and Ryan should be there. Are they going to talk to Uncle Li. I think I''d better go back. " She looked at him tentatively. It was more likely that she was afraid of affecting the rtionship between the two of them. She could do nothing because they were at here. In a moment, the door of the vi was opened. The butler of the Li family walked out of the door gracefully. When he saw Andrew and Sophia in the car, he bowed and said, "Master, you''re back. I''ll briefly report the situation in the room to you now." While Mio was speaking, he was still looking at Sophia from the corner of his eyes. After getting the consent from Andrew, MIO said, "Master, here is the thing. Your half-brother and Mr.Carlos'' mistress came to visit you today, and Miss Sophia''s cousin are all in the vi. " Anger shed through Andrew''s eyes. He opened the door and strode forward. His was so silent that even if Sophia can guess what is the situation right now. She guessed that he must have the intention to kill the Becky and her mother now. Summoning up all her courage, she thought it must be a tough battle. Even though her mind was in a mess, she was sure what she was going to do now. He had helped her so many times before, and it was time for her toe in handy today. "Oh, [ ], [ ], [ ]!" Several nannies stood at the door with ecstasy on their faces. After all, it was the first time they had seen such a scene in so many years, and none of them knew how to deal with it. In the huge vi, she had seen six or seven nannies since she entered. Not to mention walking across the living room and stepping into the elevator, she was depressed when she hadn''t seen Mr. Carlos and others for a long time. Not far away, there were several people sitting at a three meter long European style ssical table, with joy on their faces. But the moment they saw Sophia, the joy disappeared in an instant. Chapter 14 Stepmother Came Out Halfway Chapter 14 Stepmother Came Out Halfway "Hello, Mr. Andrew." Ryan stood up slowly and raised his hand, with a humble smile on his face. Frowning, Andrew walked past him coldly and sat on the right side of Carlos Li. Next to Carlos Li was Becky, who red at Andrew fiercely in the full re of the public. Following Andrew, Sophia only felt the silence of death, as if there was an indescribable smell of gunpowder in the living room. "Well, we will be a family from now on. Andrew will be your brother. Just address him by name." Noticing that no one spoke, Becky tried to be wise in her own conceit. Carlos Li and Andrew looked at each other, as if there were swords and des shed through their eyes. After Sophia took her seat, Andrew said, "Ms. Becky, watch your words. I don''t have brother." Hearing this, Ryan pushed his sses and his face turned pale. But Carlos Li was furious. He pped on the table and shouted, "What about you? Didn''t you find a dubious woman and take her home without my consent? Have I ever med on you? Ryan has grown up. What''s wrong with finding his origin and returning to the family?" Sitting next to Andrew, Sophia was frozen. She didn''t dare to refute, nor did she know in what position to maintain the rtionship between the father and son. With a click, Andrew flipped the gorgeous European style tablecloth over with one hand, the tableware fell all over the ground. "Didn''t you arrange the marriage between me and the Lin Group? In this family, me or them, you have to choose one. Besides, if you allow the two of them step into this house, I will apply to my grandfather for freezing all the assets under your name." Andrew''s tone was firm and unassable, and his sharp eyes were fixed on these ambitious people at the table. Mr. Carlos Li was getting old after all. What he want was to enjoy his remaining years. Seeing this, he didn''t want to make more trouble. What''s more, the Li Group was his lifelong painstaking efforts despite the investment of Andrew''s grandparents. He didn''t want everything to be in vain. After thinking for a long time, Carlos Li became convinced that a woman was really nothing to his wealth! "You don''t have to talk to me like that. Andrew. I''m your father. Of course, I will consider buying a house for them. Both you and Ryan are my children. I hope you can understand my feelings as a father." Carlos Li looked at Andrew with unprecedented tenderness in his eyes. But after hearing this, Andrew still remained cold. Not far away, Linda, who was wearing a pair of eighteen centimeter crystal stiletto and a limited edition dress of Givenchy, walked gracefully from the garden, with a ttering smile and gloating eyes on her face. "Oh, it turns out to be my cousin. I didn''t expect that our rtionship is so deep. Sophia, have you already known the secret of Ryan''s birth and wanted to seduce Andrew just because you couldn''t catch Ryan?" Linda said while ying with the three carat diamond ring in her hand. Ryan scolded her immediately, "What are you talking about, Linda?" "Could any person enter this house? Mio, don''t you have any rules?" As soon as Andrew gave the order, Mio rushed over and showed the door to these unwee guests. Carlos Li failed to find an appropriate position to say anything about Linda''s provocation against Sophia. He had to take his time. But unexpectedly, Becky burst into tears and cried, "Oh my son, it''s all my fault. You wasn''t born of a good family, which made you suffer a lot from childhood. People said that you had a mother but no father! You have been wearing other people''s old clothes since you were a child. I''m sorry. I am too ashamed to live in this world anymore!" After saying that, Becky wiped her tears and was about to bumped on the Romanesque columns not far away. Catching up with Becky from behind, Ryan held her waist, "Mom, what are you talking about? I didn''t feel bitter since I was a child, and I feel grateful for your kindness to bring me up. Dad is such an excellent man, and I always admire him. I never hate you. Mom, don''t take things too hard!" Mr. Carlos Li, who had been sitting upright, couldn''t help but stand up and walk forward. Linda also wept while hugging Becky tightly. She took out a handkerchief customized by Hermes and wiped Becky''s tears. "Mommy, what are you talking about? Daddy didn''t say that he won''t take care of you and Ryan. Besides, Mrs. Carlos was gone. No one knows what happened between you and Mr. Carlos Li before. It''s time for you to enjoy your happiness!" Linda bent over and whispered in Becky''s ear, but she didn''t expected that Becky gave her a cold stare. Becky nced at Carlos Li behind Linda and continued, "I know I shouldn''t have stepped in other people''s family and been a third party. I really deserve it! Leave me alone. Just let me die!" Embarrassed, Sophia stood still and didn''t know what to do next. Andrew embraced her with his strong Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org. arms. He gently stroked her shoulder and said, "You just need to stay obediently." "Get up first. Let''s have a talk. You''re already an olddy. Why do you still want tomit suicide?" Carlos Li said in a helpless tone. Hearing what Mr. Carlos Li had said, Becky knew that she should not leave the matter at that. Linda wiped her tears and looked at Carlos Li, "Mr. Carlos Li, you are born of a noble family. It''s hard for you to understand a child grew up in slum like us. What Mommy said is true. In fact, I always know that she loves you very much. And that is the reason why she didn''t consider remarriage for so many years. After all, Ryan is your own son. Even if you don''t want to ept Mommy, at least you should ept Ryan." After Linda finished her words, Becky calmed down a little bit. Although Becky kept muttering how she felt sorry for Ryan and how she made Ryan feel bad, she didn''t continue tomit suicide. "We still need to take a long-term view on this matter. The sess of Li Group is depended on the support of my wife''s family. If I ept you two so abruptly now, not only will I be cursed, but also Andrew''s grandparents won''t let you off easily." Carlos Li nced at Andrew while he was speaking. Becky cast a vicious nce at Andrew and said slowly, "I know you will only have one wife. Your wife
