The comeback of the billionaire heiress のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 151 - チャプター 160

SOPHIAI was livid but also scared. All I saw was red as I frantically packed up my stuff into the first bag I found and Aiden grabbed my hand to stop me from panicking.“You have to calm down first, Sophia. Even if we wanted to leave now, we can't. We need a helicopter and it'll only get here tomorrow” he told me and I wrapped my arms around myself. “We shouldn't have underestimated him, Aiden. I should have known he would do this. He would try to take away everything he gave me and that's the foundation. My foundation” My voice broke as I thought about it even more. The thought of losing it all. Everything I’d worked for, just going down the drain like that.It was going to kill me. It was going to make me a great mess and worse of all, all those kids and families that depended on me. They would be left stranded all because of Damien.“All those people I’m helping, Aiden. They will be left with nothing if I shut the foundation down. I have no idea what to do or tell them. This is

SOPHIA “What was in that flashdrive, Aiden?” I asked him as we walked back to the car where it waited and he helped me into the car first before he joined me and closed the door.“Something the commissioner won’t like” he told me and I leaned toward him.“Which is?” I pushed since I was very curious and he smiled.“It’s evidence of his involvement with Damien while he’s been carrying out his illegal businesses all this time. The commissioner is the one who has been secretly helping Damien clear any merchandise he receives into the country and I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t want to spend the rest of his life in jail. So he will do whatever he can to stop me from exposing that flashdrive’s content to the public”Aiden told me with confidence and for the first time since we left the private island, I felt completely relieved to know he actually had the situation under control. Even more than I thought he did.All along, I was only trusting him because he asked me to. I had no idea what he

SOPHIA“What aren’t you telling me, Aiden? There’s something you’re still hiding from me. Right?” I questioned as I glared at him and he looked away. Then he stood up and pointed toward the door.“I’ve got to return to the kitchen. There’s something I have to do” he excused himself but I shook my head.“Bullshit. There’s nothing for you to do in the kitchen, Aiden. I know you’re lying to me” I was quick to stop him before he could walk out so we both just stared at each other.“What secret are you still hiding from me, Aiden Cross?” I asked him and slowly, he sat back in his chair.I watched him clasp his hands while he looked around the study uneasily and I could see that he was doing everything he could do to avoid looking at me but I could still see through him. He was nervous.I suspected his countenance had to do with the reason why he’d kept this particular secret away from me all this while and it pissed me off to know he still hid something from me after the promise we made to

SOPHIA“I know you're mad I brought that up and I'm sorry. I won't talk about it again” I told Aiden who was sulking by the kitchen island and he glared at me.“I think you're going to bring it up again, Sophia. I know you will” he accused and I guiltily pressed my lips in a straight line because he was right. I was going to.“I knew you didn't mean what you said!” He snapped before calming his face but I quickly reached for his hands to pull them away so I could look at him.“If you won't let me see Damien, then let me speak to Elena. You're cool with that right?” I asked but he didn't seem convinced.“She killed my niece. I don't care if she's your sister” he told me and I nodded in understanding before kissing the back of his hand.“And we're going to make her pay once we have enough evidence. For now, she's still a free woman who's gone rogue. I just need you to let me talk to her”“Talk about what exactly, Sophia? And after you talk to her, what next?” He asked me and I exhaled a

SOPHIA“What?” I asked her as my heart fell.“You heard me young lady! Is he the reason why you turned down that poor man we chose for you? Because of the man who humiliated your sister?” she threw another question at me.I quickly pulled Aiden's arms off me before sitting up. My head was reeling with confusion, questions piled up too and most of all, I was still trying to come to terms with the fact that my mum just saw pictures of me and Aiden on the internet.“Slow down, mum. What was the first thing you said? About the pictures?” I asked her to be sure I heard her correctly the first time.“There are pictures of you and Aiden Cross on every Canadian social media page, Sophia! What on earth have you done?” She shrieked again, her voice even louder this time.Aiden groaned as he finally woke up. Then he sat up beside me and kissed me on the cheek while I panicked on the inside.“I didn't mean for you to find out like this mum. I was going to tell you. Eventually” I said as calmly as
