Having confirmed that her plan had succeeded, Sophia did not doubt Ninth Brother when he called to ask for money. She just transferred the remaining amount to him straight away.Only now did she realize that it was too early to pay him. She should have paid him after she received what she had requested from him earlier.Once she had parked her car at the empty space outside Hoover Alley, she walked into the alley. She would be able to find out what had happened once she saw Ninth Brother.She arrived at the courtyard effortlessly before she pushed open the door and entered the house. Inside sat a man with sunglasses holding a pipe. “Brother Davis, it’s been a while since we met.” Sophia took the initiative to greet him. Removing his sunglasses, the man sat upright and glanced at her in astonishment. “What brings you here, mayoress?” She walked toward him. “Brother Davis, I’m looking for Ninth Brother.”Brother Davis asked, “Why are you looking for him?”“For some personal re

John could no longer focus at work so he left home early with a made-up excuse and he was in the study, blaming himself.He walked out of the study upon hearing the sound of a car engine approaching the house. By chance, he overhead Serena demanding something from Sophia. The latter mentioned she was scammed for hundreds of thousands.Sophia was startled but she quickly smoothed over the surprise and regained her composure. “John, I’m sorry!”“What’s wrong?” The indifference was evident in his voice. He was already in a terrible mood to begin with.It was not his initial plan to be with Sophia. Back in the days, Sophia and his wife, Molly, were good friends, so he only got to know the former through his wife.Never did he think that he would get drunk that day and sleep with Sophia.Sophia did feel guilty afterward as well, thus both parties took a step backward and it ended there. He almost forgot that this even happened. It was not until a few years later that Sophia suddenly r

Christina tried again with patience. “Alright, Matthew, why are you calling me at this hour?”“Can’t I just speak to you?”“Fine! Speak away, I’m listening.”“Why don’t you do the talking and I’ll listen?”“I don’t know what to say to you,” she replied.“Tell me something that makes me happy!” He was being unreasonable.“What’s the matter with you? For drinking so much?”“I did drink, and I drank a lot…” He burped. “Christina, I like you. Do you know that I like you…”She rolled her eyes. This guy was evidently too drunk that his talkative side had taken over him. “Christina, I really like you. Why don’t you like me back? Why?”She refused to reply, and on the other side, he did not know if he should laugh or cry. “Christina, I just want you to show me a glimmer of hope. I don’t mind that you’ve had a divorce before, I don’t mind anything…”“Matthew, you’re drunk. Go to sleep!”“I don’t want to sleep. I want to hear you say that you like me. I want you to like me…” His voi

Matthew could still feel the heat of the slap on his cheek but he was not furious at all. What a great deal was it to exchange a slap for a kiss.Driving away, Michael could not stop replaying the image of Christina and Matthew kissing in his mind, and the heavy feeling in his chest grew more uncomfortable.This must stop. He had to prevent Christina from getting together with Matthew.The latter was a notorious ignorant, rich playboy. Michael would not allow her to be someone like him. After pondering for several moments, he realized that Matthew’s greatest weakness was his lust for women. As long as he could get leverage against him, then things would be much easier.With that, he retrieved his cell phone and called the assistant. “Matthew has a model girlfriend. Find a way to bring her to Jade City.”Christina slapped the man forcefully, leaving behind a clear print even after one night.The next morning at work, Matthew deliberately turned his swollen cheek at the woman but

Confused, Yara threw another glance at Christina. Why would Matthew bring his assistant to the dinner date?She was slightly displeased but could not find a good reason to voice her annoyance. Her gaze toward Christina turned suspicious.Christina was not an insensible person. She too felt awkward for becoming Yara’s target when she had done nothing wrong. Matthew was truly cunning to put her through this. If she knew, she should not have been so eager about this last night.Not long after they settled down in the private room, the dishes were served. Perhaps Matthew did this intentionally but he kept placing more food onto Christina’s place while he was still affectionate toward Yara. “Assistant Williams, I remember this being your favorite. Have some more.”She felt the coldness in Yara’s eyes once the man said this. The corners of her lips twitched into an embarrassed smile. “You remember wrongly, President Henderson. I don’t like to eat this but they are Miss Yara’s favorite…”
