Chapter 4

作者: HF Era
Crying and struggling, Joshua was dragged away by the bodyguards.

From outside, the familiar sound of a car engine approached.

Sophie walked in, her usual smile resting lightly on her lips. She set down a luxury shopping bag stamped with a watch brand logo, then slipped into my arms, her voice soft and coaxing.

"Anthony, Joshua really went too far today. Tonight, you can have me however you want. Just don't hold it against him, alright?"

A cheap perfume scent drifted toward me as she moved.

It was Joshua's scent.

The nausea rose instantly. I shoved Sophie away without thinking.

She froze, disbelief and panic flashing across her eyes. She stepped forward instinctively, as if trying to pull me back.

Then, Joshua suddenly rushed in, stumbling straight into her arms.

"Sophie! For revenge, he had tattoos burned into every inch of my skin… It hurts so much…"

Sophie's breathing faltered.

She looked at Joshua's disheveled state, her expression growing furious.

"Anthony, when did you become this vicious? Joshua is still so young. Now that you've done this to him, how is he supposed to face anyone in the future?"

Her tone sharpened with every word.

"Will you only be satisfied after you've ruined him?"

I watched the way she shielded Joshua, and suddenly, I remembered the Sophie from years ago.

She had been so careful back then, so gentle that even when she held me, she barely tightened her grip.

The woman who once loved me… The one who bankrupted a rival just because they knocked a single strand of hair from my head…

She was long gone.

I forced down the bitterness clawing at my chest, struggling to steady my voice.

"Did you ever think, if my face was left like this, what am I supposed to do with the rest of my life?"

Sophie parted her lips, but no words came out.

Seeing her fall silent, Joshua pulled her closer and suddenly spoke up.

"Sophie! You've got good news you haven't told Anthony yet, right?"

He turned to me, his smile dripping with malice.

"Sophie is pregnant with my child. Congratulations, Anthony, you get to be the second dad."

The words hit me like a thunderbolt. I stood there, stunned.

Then, the anger finally broke loose. I lunged forward and slapped Joshua across the face.

The next instant, a vase smashed against my head.

Sophie's face was terrifyingly cold.

"Who gave you permission to touch Joshua? Anthony, you're going too far."

Blood mixed with shards as it trickled down, blurring my vision.

Joshua whimpered, tears streaming down his face.

"Sophie, it hurts…"

Sophie hurried to his side. "Joshua, I'll take you to the hospital right now."

As she passed me, she left behind a single sentence.

"Anthony, you need to calm down and learn how to be a proper husband."

She took Joshua's hand and moved to leave.

However, more than a dozen sharply dressed lawyers stood waiting at the door, blocking their way.

The middle-aged man at the front stepped forward and placed a document in front of Sophie.

"Ms. Spark, I'm afraid you can't leave just yet. According to the agreement you signed with Mr. Miller…"

He slid the papers toward her.

"All of your shares in the Spark Corporation have been frozen."

  • She Chose Him, I Chose Revenge   Chapter 8

    Three months later, I heard news about Sophie.She was no longer the sharp and pointed girl she used to be.Time had worn down that reckless courage of hers. In its place, the comforts she had grown used to, and the pride that came with them, had become the heaviest chains binding her.She could not bring herself to beg for help, nor could she endure the pity, or worse, the disdain, of those she had once looked down on.After hitting wall after wall, whatever faint spark she had left of making a comeback had probably faded into nothing more than a wisp of smoke.Jasper's voice carried a trace of quiet resignation."As for Mr. Payne, he doesn't seem to understand the situation at all. He's been fighting with Ms. Spark day and night, demanding the same luxury items he used to have, insisting she take him to high-end restaurants."Joshua simply could not accept the fall from the clouds into the mud.He had grown used to being pampered by Sophie with money and extravagance. He coul

    Sophie fell silent, tears finally spilling over. However, her tears stirred nothing in me.She murmured, the last light in her eyes fading completely. "Anthony, you were prepared all along. You had long decided to treat me like this…"I shook my head. "No. I gave you far more chances than you think."She simply never took a single one.Joshua finally broke down.He suddenly wrenched himself free from the bodyguards and dropped to his knees with a thud, scrambling toward me on his hands and knees."Mr. Miller! I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have provoked you. I shouldn't have touched what belongs to you!"Please spare me! I'll leave the city immediately. I swear I'll never appear in front of you again for the rest of my life! Just let me live!"He sobbed uncontrollably, snot and tears running down his face, nothing like the arrogant man he had been before.I looked down at him as if he were nothing more than a filthy insect.I asked slowly, "Joshua, do you know what I despise

    Jackson stepped forward."According to the Equity Agreement Ms. Spark signed seven years ago, during the term of the agreement, if either party commits a serious breach, including but not limited to cohabiting with another person or bearing someone else's child, the other party has the right to unilaterally request a freeze on all shares and related interests under the offending party's name."He paused, his gaze sweeping over Sophie's ashen face."As of yesterday, all shares of the Spark Corporation held under Ms. Spark's name has been officially frozen with approval from both the notary office and the court."A wave of hushed gasps and murmurs rippled through the conference room.Sophie stared at me, her fists clenched tightly at her sides.Jackson continued, "Ms. Spark, during the freeze period, you will be unable to exercise any shareholder rights, including but not limited to attending shareholder meetings, participating in decision-making, or receiving dividends. In additio

    Sophie only glanced at the document for a second.She frowned slightly, but there was no trace of shock or panic on her face. Instead, there was irritation, like she was interrupted, and even a hint of amusement.When she looked at me, her eyes were filled with disappointment and reproach."Anthony, are you done yet? All this over something so trivial? You're pulling strings with your family, freezing shares…"Do you have any idea how much damage this could do to the company?"She did not take the document seriously at all. Or rather, she did not believe I would actually go through with it.In her mind, it was probably just another one of my emotional outbursts, something driven by jealousy. A mess I had made, one that she would eventually come back to fix and smooth over.We had been together for ten years.Deep down, Sophie must have been certain of one thing: I would never walk away over a single act of betrayal."I don't have time to argue about this right now. Whatever it

    The car had barely stopped at the villa entrance when Jasper Lewis, the housekeeper, hurried over."Ms. Spark came back earlier. She said she wanted to take Mr. Payne to tonight's charity auction, but he didn't have a suitable outfit."He hesitated, then added, "She… She took him straight into your dressing room."My heart sank, though my voice remained steady."What did Joshua choose?"Jasper took a deep breath, clearly holding back his anger."The 'Blazing Flame', the one Ms. Spark specially made for you."My breath caught.The 'Blazing Flame' was not some custom piece from a luxury brand.It was my grandmother's design, something she had poured her heart into before she passed, stitching it together by hand, piece by piece, as a wedding suit.That outfit's value could no longer be measured in money.As my girlfriend, Sophie knew exactly how much it meant to me.I had never doubted that she once loved me.However, in that moment, I understood that love can change in an i
