The surgery was successful. Sophia breathed out a sigh of relief at the news. She wanted to thank every G.o.d who had control over people"s lives.
Thanks to the arrangements Colin made, Renee"s recuperation also went smoothly.
Sophia could finally get some rest. Looking at the calendar, she realized that she had been apart from Colin for 30 days.
While she held her phone in a daze, Cora called in.
"Miss Lo, the task has been completed."
Sophia took a moment to absorb the news. She wasn"t prepared... "Okay. Meet me in A Country."
In the dead of night, Sophia went out of the Li Manor. Dressed in a light yellow coat and a black skirt, she stood a long way from the house and waited for a car to arrive.
Soon, a silver Mercedes pulled up in front of her.
Sophia looked at the license plate number before getting into the car.
At the BFL Restaurant
Payne excitedly pulled out Sophia"s chair as she sat down.
"Sophie, you finally got in touch with me!" Payne stared at her with a glazed look in his eyes. She was getting more and more beautiful...
A touch of sadness emerged on Sophia"s face at his words. "I"ve been very unhappy recently. Payne, can you keep me company for a while?"
"No problem!" Overwhelmed with joy, Payne quickly ordered a meal for two, along with a bottle of wine worth more than 100, 000.
His actions didn"t escape Sophia"s notice. He used to be very stingy in the past, but now he was a high roller. Did the Lien family give him some money?
They toasted their half-filled wine gla.s.ses and started to talk.
"Sophie, I"m so sorry... I didn"t mean to hurt you. I couldn"t refuse Dorothy when she seduced me. I"m a man after all... I regret everything... Can you give me another chance?"
Sophia nodded with a distracted look in her eyes. "Sure, I"ll believe you one last time."
Payne nodded in excitement. "Sophie, wealthy or poor, I will never abandon you again!"
"Good. Will you divorce her?" Sophia took a sip of wine, eyeing him through the corner of her eyes.
Payne paused. He had a complicated look on his face that Soph
Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.

"Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about," he sneered.

At the Presidential Suite 866.
When Colin rang the doorbell, Sophia had just finished her make-up. She tried to calm her throbbing heart as she answered the door.
The door opened to reveal Sophia in a light yellow coat and delicate make-up. She was as beautiful as he remembered.
Colin was as mature and attractive as he had always been. The long journey wasn"t hard on him, and the messy look suited him.
Sophia whispered in a tender voice, "Husband..."
Colin strode in and kicked the door shut behind him. He took Sophia into his arms and kissed her roughly.
His kiss smudged the lipstick on Sophia"s lips, making her regret putting on make-up for him. She didn"t expect him to be so impatient.
Absence indeed made the heart grow fonder...
"Husband..." Sophia wanted to say something, but Colin didn"t give her a chance. "Honey, I want you so badly. Whatever you have to say, tell me later."
Sophia stopped talking.
Colin threw his briefcase aside and roughly pushed Sophia against the nearby wall. He showed no mercy as he took out his pent-up frustration on her.
