Semua Bab Reign of the Uncontrollable Wife: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Sophia sat on the sofa, calmly toying with her phone. She had a faint smile on her face.“I knew it,” she said with a knowing smile. “You’ll let me go the same way you locked me up, William!”William’s face turned purple with anger. He pointed at the bodyguards and barked, “Get her!”Sophia chuckled. “I must remind you that unlawfully detaining someone or depriving them of their personal freedom is punishable by years of imprisonment, detention, control, and deprivation of political rights. And if there are elements of violence or insult involved, the punishment will become even more severe. Are you sure you want that to happen?”He could barely contain his anger. “You set up the surveillance in the lobby, didn’t you?”She replied easily, “Yep, that’s right. What do you think? Was the footage clear enough for you? Did it capture all the nasty things your son and his woman were up to?”“You’re asking for death!” He fumed in frustration. “What are you waiting for? Grab her! Grab he

Sophia had not in fact met a lecherous man in the scorching weather.She was sitting comfortably in an air-conditioned car, enjoying some watermelon.“Is it sweet enough for you, Sophia?” The driver, Benny Dale, asked.She made a face. “It’s alright.”Benny chuckled, “I bought it from a roadside vendor, so it might not taste good.”Sophia did not reply but continued eating.Benny said, “Everyone at the club misses you, Sophia. They’re setting up a game especially for you. Do you want to go?”She was still focused on her watermelon. “No, I want to go back to the hospital to see Dorothy.”“How is she?”“The same as usual.”“If she’s okay, how about we all meet up in the evening?”“Well see.” Sophia looked up. “Go faster.”She needed to reach the hospital to speak to her grandmother before Elliot did.Benny nodded and sped up the car.…In the hospital.Jeffrey had been looking for Sophia all morning. He asked Elliot to find her yesterday, but there was no sign of her. The

Dorothy seemed interested in the idea. She said with a smile, “So, will we be marrying above ourselves?”Jeffrey replied, “What do you mean, marrying above yourselves? You moved away from Phoenix. If you had been here all this time, we might have become in-laws by now. I should tell you that the public doesn’t think highly of my grandson. But those are just empty rumors. Don’t believe any of it. The poor boy had a tragic past. His parents died in a car accident when he was eighteen, and he’s been in a wheelchair ever since.”He leaned in closer and whispered, “To tell the truth, his legs have been fine for a long time. I won’t say much, but if she marries him, nobody'll dare say anything about her.”Dorothy’s eyes lit up. She looked at him and said, “Okay, I’ll meet your grandson one of these days. But first, let me show you a picture of Sophia. She’s beautiful.”She reached into her pocket for a picture of Sophia. He was stunned. “This is your granddaughter?”Dorothy was surpri

Sophia received a call from Daniel and hurried back from school.When she arrived at the hospital, Dorothy’s condition had improved significantly, but she was still very weak.Daniel had told Sophia that Sadie was the one who upset her grandmother.Interestingly, Elliot had assisted in restraining Sadie and called for a doctor.It seemed that the rumors about Elliot being cruel and ruthless were unreliable. She thought there might be something to him, since he had intervened in an unfair situation. She supposed she should at least thank him for today.She didn’t dare imagine what might have happened to Dorothy if he hadn’t been there.Dorothy looked at Sophia and said, “I’m fine. You don’t have to hold a grudge against them.”Sophia scoffed. “Sure.”She didn’t want her to hold a grudge? That would be letting them off too easily.Dorothy frowned and continued, “After all, she’s your stepmother. If you don’t like them, we can just avoid them, but there’s no need to make things

Adam accompanied Jeffrey to Dorothy’s ward again. Dorothy struggled to sit up in bed. “You’re here, Jeff.”Jeffrey was worried about her. “How are you? Adam mentioned that someone had come to make a scene. Are you feeling better now?”Dorothy smiled. "I'm fine. I’m much better now."Jeffrey sighed. “It’s not good for people our age to get anxious and angry. Who on earth dared come here to provoke you?"Dorothy was silent for a while before saying, "It was Sophia’s stepmother. Remember the canceled engagement? Her daughter attempted suicide by cutting her wrists. She thought Sophia was to blame, so she came to take her anger out on me."Jeffrey said angrily, "What does that have to do with Sophia? How dare she try to blame you for that?”Dorothy smiled when she saw Jeffrey protecting her so fiercely. She would be at ease if Sophia married into his family. At least someone would have her back. "I met your grandson," she said. "Huh?" Jeffrey was surprised. "You met him? Wher
