Sofia tilted her chin toward the bar, speaking with a calm air.

"Same as last time. I'll treat you to a few drinks."

She fell silent for a moment as if recalling something unpleasant, before continuing,

"But don't worry-nothing like that will happen again."

Her voice had dropped to a barely audible murmur, and Hubert couldn't help but chuckle. He raised an eyebrow at her and let out a low "Oh?", finding her rather adorable at that moment.

True to her word, their conversation was more serious this time. Hubert had overheard a few harsh words from the man earlier, enough to piece together some context, so Sofia no longer tried to hide anything.

"Right now, I'm fighting against my stepmother. It's been a long time since I last went home," she admitted.

"But my stepmother and father aren't ready to let me go."

Sofia took a sip of her drink, bitterness flickering across her face.

"The company's finances are in trouble, and they're too impatient to wait for a real solution. They wanted me

  • The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée   Chapter 96: There was never going to be a future for us

    She blushed slightly and, in the end, said nothing more. At that moment, the car happened to stop at a parking spot near the restaurant. Annie, flustered, quickly got out as if trying to escape."We're here. I'll go in first."Finn watched her retreating figure with a gentle smile. Everything was gradually shifting in a better direction. That was a relief.They entered the dining room together, chatting as they ate. Annie's demeanor had naturally become much softer, and Finn, too, began to relax.He had been worried that Sofia might have twisted the truth and painted a distorted version of past events, so he slowly began recounting everything to Annie, step by step."The day you left and Sofia showed up, I already knew the two of you were nothing alike. Please don't worry. I didn't expose her because I feared she might lash out and hurt you. But I kept my distance-completely. I avoided her whenever she came near. I never had any sort of intimacy with Sofia. No matter what she says, pl

  • The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée   Chapter 95: A lot of misunderstandings between us

    In the days that followed,The malicious rumors surrounding Annie vanished without a trace. Gradually, clarification statements began to surface, allowing the public to grasp the truth of what had truly transpired.First to speak out was Finn, who publicly stated that his engagement to Sofia had long been annulled-he was a free man, and thus, perfectly within his rights to pursue Annie.One by one, Nathan, John, Lay, and the other men who had appeared in the supposedly "intimate" photos with Annie also stepped forward. Facing the press, they each clarified that their relationship with Annie was nothing more than a casual friendship, entirely devoid of the ambiguity and innuendo implied by the circulated video.At the same time, they took the opportunity to defend Annie's character, describing her as gentle, well-mannered, and far from the flirtatious or shameless figure portrayed by gossip. They implored the public not to misunderstand her or slander her name.Lastly, it was Hubert-th

  • The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée   Chapter 94: "The True Face of Sofia's Twin Sister."

    The next morning, Sofia was jolted awake by the shrill ringing of her phone. The sound pierced through the room like a siren. Furious, she slammed a finger on the screen to silence it.But whoever was calling clearly had no intention of being ignored - the phone rang again. And again.With a groan of frustration, Sofia sat up abruptly, shouting into the phone the moment she picked it up."Are you insane? It's barely morning, and you're calling like a lunatic! Can't I get some damn rest?"Her voice was loud and sharp enough to make the bartender lying beside her frown in his sleep and shift beneath the covers.On the other end, the caller was just as stunned by her outburst."You're the crazy one. You were the one who bribed the tabloids to release those stories, weren't you?"Hubert's voice cut through the line - cold and accusatory. He didn't bother disguising his contempt. He had no desire to keep dancing around this mess, especially when Sofia kept crossing lines.This wasn't a que

  • The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée   Chapter 93: Release the news - all of it

    Sofia averted her gaze from Hubert, visibly flustered."Why ask something so ridiculous? Do you even think that makes sense?"Hubert said nothing, his eyes locked on her. A fleeting flash of guilt crossed her face - a startled expression, unnatural movements, a flicker of unease.He let out a derisive laugh."Don't forget, I'm the one who gave you the money to patch up your father's company's financial hole. I gave it, and I can just as easily take it back, Sofia."He said it without hesitation, shrugging indifferently as he watched her wrestle with her emotions.And finally, Sofia broke.She closed her eyes, as if forcing herself to speak calmly."Yes. So what?"Hubert could barely hold himself back. He lunged forward and grabbed Sofia's wrist so tightly she winced."So what? How can you say that like it's nothing? You really forced Annie to pretend to be your stand-in?"His arm was taut, veins bulging from the strain, gripping her even harder as she instinctively tried to pull away.

  • The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée   Chapter 92: Did you and Annie ever switch identities in the past?

    After Annie finished showering and returned to her room, she hadn't even had the chance to go online and catch up on the latest scandal when her phone suddenly rang.It was Sofia. The person Annie had been unable to reach all day finally made the call herself.Annie paused for a moment, took a deep breath to steady herself, and only then answered."What do you want?"Her voice was cold as ice, stripped of the warmth it once held. Yet Sofia wasn't surprised. Instead, she let out a soft, mocking laugh."How does it feel, Annie? Being attacked from all sides... Not so pleasant, is it?""That's exactly what you deserve," Annie replied, her tone sharp.Sofia chuckled maliciously, her words laced with venom. She lay sprawled across a king-sized bed, clearly relishing every moment.Annie remained composed, though her fingers curled into tight fists."Why?" she asked quietly. "What did I ever do to you to make you treat me like this?"She had gone over everything in her mind, again and again

  • The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée   Chapter 91: Don't insult my best friend

    The crowd was like a mob gone mad, flooding the comment sections with relentless attacks. When Amber read through the venomous words, she hesitantly turned to Annie."Annie, please don't let it get to you. The public's just misunderstanding you right now, that's all," she said gently."I'm still here with you. When the truth comes out, everything will get better. So don't worry, okay?"Annie offered a faint, strained smile. Of course, she knew. The public had already been swayed by Sofia's fabricated story about her. She understood-these people didn't know her personally. They only saw the staged photos and were easily manipulated by the press.Still, she couldn't help the discomfort gnawing at her.She wasn't anyone special-not an actress or a famous singer. Why were they so intent on tearing her apart like this?She'd chosen the life of a manager precisely because she wanted to stay in the background, to live quietly, away from the spotlight.Was that really too much to ask?Under t

  • The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée   Chapter 90: Sofia really used that tactic to smear Annie

    The Next DayWhile Finn was deeply focused on his work, his secretary, Max, entered the room, looking visibly uneasy."Boss, this isn't a work-related matter, but it's important. I think I need to let you know right away."Finn glanced up, a faint sense of foreboding tightening in his chest. He gestured for Max to come in, and Max cautiously locked the door behind him.Only then did he approach Finn's desk, letting out a heavy sigh."Boss, Sofia has made a public statement to clarify that rumor. But honestly... I think it would've been better if she'd said nothing at all."Max couldn't help but express his frustration, and Finn immediately sensed something was wrong. He pulled his gaze from the screen and asked sharply,"What happened? Did she say something reckless?"Max looked at Finn, momentarily at a loss for words. After a brief pause, he handed over an iPad, sighing again with growing exasperation."I think you should just watch this cut of the interview the reporters released.

  • The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée   Chapter 89: Keeping our distance is for the best

    After hearing Sofia say she could handle it, Annie visibly relaxed. With a lighter heart, she stepped outside again, continuing to watch over Amber and quietly tending to her until the scenes were finally wrapped up.It had been a long day of filming, and by the time Amber completed her final shot, night had already fallen. Accepting Annie's warm cup of water, she took a small sip before speaking in a low voice."Is everything alright? You still seem so calm and at ease-does that mean there's nothing serious to worry about?"Annie nodded, briefly filling her in on the situation."Sofia said she'll take the interview tomorrow to handle it. It should all be resolved soon."Amber's brow furrowed slightly."But what exactly is she planning to say in the interview? Didn't she tell you?""And based on what you've told me about Sofia in the past, she doesn't exactly strike me as the kind-hearted type. Are you sure she won't take this chance to throw you under the bus in front of the media?"

  • The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée   Chapter 88: Is the Brilliant CEO of Company X Engaged to a Faithless Woman?

    A few days later,While Annie was on set watching Amber film a scene, a staff member suddenly approached her, holding out a phone."Annie, there's a scandal just breaking-something about a billionaire's fiancée caught cheating. Super famous. Have you seen it yet?"Normally, Annie paid no mind to gossip or celebrity news, so she shook her head.Unexpectedly, the staff member grew even more eager."This one-you have to see it, Annie. The girl in the photos looks exactly like you. I seriously thought it was you-you-the fiancée of that billionaire!"The staff lowered their voice, eyes wide with intrigue."Do you have a long-lost twin or something? It could really be that girl."Their excitement only deepened Annie's confusion. She took the phone hesitantly, her fingers cold with a strange unease, and glanced down at the screen.The headline was striking, splashed in bold across the top of the page:"Is the Brilliant CEO of Company X Engaged to a Faithless Woman?"Even Annie furrowed her b
