Sophia was stunned and didn't understand what Liam meant by that.
The next second, Liam had let go of her chin and had her phone in his hand without her realizing it. "Here's my number, it's saved in there now. When I call, answer immediately." Liam said as he casually returned her phone to her. Sophia absentmindedly agreed. "Uh- Sure." It didn't matter if she ignored him for a few days. After the banquet, they would have no mor The next second, Liam had let go of her chin and had her phone in his hand without her realizing it. When I call, answer immediately." Liam said as he casually returned her phone to her. Sophia absentmindedly agreed. "Uh- Sure." It didn't matter if she ignored him for a few days. After the banquet, they would have no more relationship. With the matter of having a boyfriend resolved, Sophia had no plans to stay with Liam any longer. She said a quick "I have something to do, I'll leave first," and hurriedly left. After finding a man to accompany her to the banquet, Sophia spent the next two days leisurely at home. She had sent the time and address to Liam after that day, but he never replied until the day of the banquet. Early that day, Sophia called him, but he didn't answer even after six seven calls. "Is he still asleep?" Sophia was anxious and continued to call him from home to the banquet. Ava, dressed in a well-crafted dress and exquisite makeup, walked up to Sophia with a hint of arrogance on her face. She looked around and didn't see anyone else before smirking, "The man you're bringing, you said he is better than Axel. So where is he?" Sophia held her phone tightly with anxiety but remained calm. "He's stuck in traffic. He'll be here soon." Ava didn't believe Sophia would really bring someone, so she smiled even brighter upon hearing that response. "Then I'll wait here with you." Sophia sneered and walked out of the room. Looking at the nearly full guests outside, her heart sank to the bottom. She had sent him the time and address, but he hadn't replied saying he would arrive on time. Was he lying to her and never intended to come? Where else could she find another man now? Ava kept an eye on Sophia and looked at her with ridicule. She stood on stage and picked up the microphone, "Today I want to sincearly thank my sister because she found another man to be with, so the Score Family has decided to cancel their engagement. That's why I have the opportunity to become Axel's fiance." "Thank you to my dear sister and her new boyfriend. Now I would like to invite them on stage to give us their blessings!" As her words fell, the spotlight shone on Sophia, and all eyes were on her. Sophia's face turned pale, and she squeezed her phone tightly in both hands. Ava deliberately embarrassed her because she knew her boyfriend hadn't shown up! Sophia was filled with anger. She lifted her skirt and stepped on the carpet with her high heels, walking towards the stage. If it was about giving blessings, she could do it alone! Sophia took a deep breath and finally stepped onto the stage. She was about to speak when Axel interrupted her, "So, where's your boyfriend?" "Miss Wyane, someone has delivered something. It's a video for your blessing," a person suddenly walked up holding a box. Ava looked surprised. "What video?" "I guess it's a surprise from one of your friends. Let's play it!" Axel replied. Sophia glanced at Ava, and their eyes met. Ava smirked coldly, and Sophia suddenly had a bad feeling. As she watched the scene in the video, Sophia's eyes widened in surprise, and her heart raced. She clenched her fists in anger. The video showed the scene from that night at the bar when she drunkenly hugged a tall man. They kissed under dim lighting for a while before hugging again. Then the man carried her out. Ava covered her mouth in surprise and looked at Sophia in disbelief. "Sophia, is that you?" Sophia froze, looking at Ava's smug expression, she wanted to slap her in the face. But she couldn't, she had a plan to execute, she needed to take back control and call off the engagement in front of everyone! Other guests whispered among themselves after seeing the video, but Sophia took a deep breath to calm herself. Ava was confident that the video was clear and Sophia couldn't deny it. She wanted to ruin Sophia's reputation. "Isn't that your sister?" "It's her!" Suddenly, the banquet hall doors were pushed open and a magnetic, cool male voice cut off their words. A tall man in a well-tailored suit walked in. "I never thought someone would be so interested in the little games between me and my girlfriend. I'm only a few minutes late, and you all are bullying my girlfriend?" Sophia turned her head quickly to look at him. He had only stood by the door, but his presence commanded everyone's attention. Ava was shocked. This was Sophia's boyfriend? Impossible! He was far more handsome than Axel and just look at that suit!! Ava thought despairingly to herself. Sophia's face lit up with a bright smile when she saw him. She ran over to him, holding her yellow Ava was shocked. This was Sophia's boyfriend? Impossible! He was far more handsome than Axel and just look at that suit!! Ava thought despairingly to herself. Sophia's face lit up with a bright smile when she saw him. She ran over to him, holding her yellow dress up. "Darling, you're here." Liam raised his eyebrows and smiled at her exquisite face. Sophi felt a little tingling from his gaze but still stood firmly by his side, holding onto his arm. She wore a light yellow dress up. "Darling, you're here." Liam raised his eyebrows and smiled at her exquisite face. Sophia felt a little tingling from his gaze but still stood firmly by his side, holding onto his arm. She wore a light yellow chiffon dress that hugged her curves and accentuated her slender waist. Liam raised his hand and held onto her waist. Ava didn't notice Axel's face turning pale next to her. As she looked at Liam, she became more and more angry. This man was flawless from head to toe, dazzlingly bright, and impossible to look away from. "Darling, your sister asked us to come up on stage and give her our blessings." Sophia held Liam's hand as they walked up to the stage. At that moment, Ava wanted nothing more than to kick them both off the stage! She had called Sophia up to humiliate her, not to have them model for everyone! Sophia smiled at Axel and exclaimed. "You two are both scum. One slept with your sister's fiance, and the other slept with his fiancee's sister. You're both truely a match made in heaven. You deserve each other!" "Sophia, you slut! Who are you talking about?" Ava screamed at Sophia. "Enough!" Axel yelled as he pulled Ava away forcefully, interrupting her words. Liam's gaze was cold as he calmly looked at Axel. Axel was so scared he couldn't even speak properly. "Uncle... Uncle..." Uncle? Everyone thought in shock at the same time. Not only Ava but even Sophia looked at the man next to him in disbeliefJust as one wave subsided, another rose up. Before the partnership with PRE had been resolved, a group of journalists suddenly gathered at the entrance of Jorah's company.The internet was flooded with reports about Liam's fiancee, who had allegedly fallen in love with someone else before they were even married, complete with pictures.Sophia was on her way to work when Anna called her and told her about it.When she opened the news webpage, she saw a picture of her and Finnian embracing on the front page, as the headline.Her first thought was what Liam would think if he saw this news. But she realized that there wasn't even a call from him on her phone.She tightly held her phone, with a self-deprecating smile on her lips. Suddenly, her phone vibrated, and she instinctively looked at it, only to find it was Jorah calling."Uh... Hi Sophia. Um, where are you now?" His tone of voice sounded extremely anxious. "On my way to work.""I'm giving you the day off today. Go back and lay lo
"I'm sorry, Finnian. I have a case to rush this afternoon, so I'm afraid I can't make it."Sophia didn't want to get too involved with Finnian. They only knew each other during college, and their relationship was not that close.Finnian heard the refusal in Sophia's words and was silent for a while before saying somewhat self-deprecatingly, "I just knew you were getting married and wanted to treat you to a meal. I remember when we were in college, I always seemed to be rejected whenever I had asked you out for a meal."In college, Finnian had many pursuers around him, and Sophia didn't remember when he had asked her out for a meal, but she seemed to recall that it did actually happen.However, since he had already said this much, it seemed a bit heartless to refuse him again, and they would still have to work together in the future, so Sophia thought it would be good to be amicable."Sophia, I don't mean anything else. I just want to wish you well." Finnian reasured her."Okay, send m
Sophia was confused. What's going on? Why is everyone changing how they treet me?It wasn't until she sat down at her desk, opened her computer, and saw the news article that she suddenly realized that her engagement with Liam had been published by the media.She was surprised to see that Liam had acted so quickly and already made their engagement public. Now she didn't even have a chance to back out.As she sat there feeling dejected, her manager approached her and said, "Sophia, a business partner has arrived. Come with me to greet them."Sophia followed her manager into the meeting room.But when she saw Finnian sitting inside, she widened her eyes in surprise and asked, "Is that you Finnian? Why are you here?"Finnian stood up, smiled gently at Sophia, and reached out his hand towards her. "Sophia, long time no see."Seeing that Finnian knew Sophia, the manager felt that today's project was going well.After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they began discussing work.After the w
Sophia couldn't be bothered with Ava today. Her gaze fell directly on Hawthorne, who hadn't said a word since she entered the room. "Dad, let's talk."Hawthorne remained calm and nonchalantly responded, "Go ahead. Tell me what you want from me?"Afraid that Ava would interfere, Sophia wanted to talk to Hawthorne alone. "I want to talk to you privately."Ava immediately sneered, "What? Is there something we can't hear? Dad, don't listen to her nonsense."Hawthorne clearly agreed with Ava. He frowned and impatiently said, "We can talk here. We're family, why hide anything?" Seeing that Hawthorne wouldn't budge, Sophia had no choice but to take a deep breath, gather her courage, and say, "When do you plan to give me the 10% share of the Wyane family that my mom left me?""Dad, I told you she had ulterior motives. She actually came to ask you for shares?" Ava exclaimed in disbelief, looking at Sophia.Hawthorne's face turned pale too. He stared at Sophia, as if he wanted to poke holes in
She was about to speak, but stopped herself.If her mother's death was indeed a result of foul play, and if it was somehow connected to Hawthorne, then she could only rely on Liam to uncover the truth.Seeing Sophia remain silent, Liam said to Jorah, "I'll leave this to you. I'll take her back." The car stopped, and Sophia realized that Liam had brought her back to his villa.She knew what her silence meant tonight, and what Liam wanted from her.Liam got out of the car, opened the door for Sophia, and seeing her sitting there without moving, he smirked and asked with a laugh, "Are you scared now?"Hearing this, Sophia looked up and met his dark eyes. She smiled slightly and said, "No, I just haven't made up my mind yet."She wasn't sure if she wanted to make a deal with this man in front of her."Well, then let's go inside and think about it." He said with a smile as he put his arm around her waist and led her towards his villa.Once inside, Sophia saw Liam heading upstairs. She stop
Sophia looked up and saw Ava walking towards her with a red wine glass in her hand.In front of her, Ava's eyes were full of mockery: "Sophia my poor sister! Did Liam abandon you? And you planned to come here and find a new rich man to support you?""Ava, watch your words."Sophia warned her."Why should I watch my words? Fortunately, Axel recognized what you were early on and dumped you for me. Hey, think about it, it really is pitiful that you're here. You have nothing now so what can you do to compete with me?" Ava deliberately raised her eyebrows and said that with a sharp tone of voice as if she was trying to stab Sophia with her words.Although Sophia didn't like Axel that much, being dumped for her sister in front of so many people made her lose her standing. Even if Sophia was forgiving, she couldn't remain indifferent to this.Sophia looked directly at her and said sarcastically, "Ava, are you acting like this because there are too few people who have seen the video of you and
