In less than three minutes, everybody had left the office. But Aaron and Sophia stayed behind.
Sophia finally recovered from her shock and slowly stood up, "Wait a minute. I"m going to wash my face first. Thank you for being here with me, brother."
Aaron"s rage was completely gone from his face, and he nodded gently. "Okay. Take your time. I"ll be waiting here."
Sophia Lo entered the restroom, tidied herself up, and splashed some cold water on her face. Still, she felt some pain lingering on her face.
When she got out, Aaron had already cleaned up her office which was in a total mess just moments ago. Sophia was surprised on how his brother could do all these things in the manner he was capable of.
"Sophia, I will take you to the hospital. You need a doctor to check up on you." Aaron approached Sophia and looked at her worriedly.
Sophia thought that she had gone back to her past. She could still remember how fondly she would look at her little brother back then.
Sophia shook her head lightly, "I"m fine. But, why did you come back all of a sudden? You didn"t even inform us that you"re coming." They casually sat on the couch.
"I wanted to surprise you. Though, it turned out I was the one surprised by all these." Aaron already informed his sister about his plans of coming back. But, he never said that it would be today. He wanted to surprise her.
As soon as he got off the plane, Aaron didn"t waste any more time and went straight to Pei Group. He called Sophia on the phone outside the Pei Group headquarters. However, he unexpectedly heard his sister screaming for help.
He hurriedly went upstairs with several security guards. Sure enough, Sophia was in trouble.
Sophia sighed heavily, "Aaron, you just came back. Before you thought of doing all those things earlier, you should have a.n.a.lyzed what will the consequences be. Especially on you, brother."
Aaron thought otherwise. He comforted Sophia and rea.s.sured her, "Sister, don"t worry about me. I could handle myself. I should have kicked her harder." He should have had that woman disappear right here and right now. He knew that a woman like that would not stop causing trouble if she had the chance. However, he didn"t do that, because that would also spell trouble for his sister.
Besides, he didn"t want to disappoint Colin. Aaron would not do anything that Colin didn"t allow him to do.
"When will you start working? Have you told Colin about this change in your post?" Sophia asked him casually.
"Yes, I have told him. But, my brother-in-law said I should follow him first and do what I"m told. As for the post, it doesn"t matter." Aaron replied honestly.
Sophia sighed again. "Aaron, you know I already divorced Colin a long time ago. We"re not together anymore. He"s not your brother-in-law any longer."
Aaron pretended to agree with her and just nodded,
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with s.e.x. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I"m alive, I"m still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...
s effects can"t be officially tested in the market. If Colin begins to have suspicions, he can have a physical examination. But, he won"t know anything because the drug is really unknown." Marcella felt elated at her idea and added that one of her maids introduced this prescription to her.
This drug was intended to be used for Sophia. However, she never had the opportunity to come close to that woman.
"All right." As long as she could successfully sleep with Colin, she would try every means necessary and possible.
Gregary overheard the conversation between the daughter and the mother, but he opted not to let it bother him anymore. They could play that little trick by themselves. There were other more important things that he should do.
As long as they could control Colin, Gregary himself would do anything.
The Lien Group was starting to lose money. He was worried that it might be completely ruined if he didn"t act on it soon.
That afternoon, Dorothy was eventually discharged from the hospital. On the way home, she still thought of when she could send the soup to Colin. She couldn"t wait for that moment.
She held the trump card of being Colin"s wife. She had the upper hand now.
After work, Sophia called Aaron and asked him to go to the SL Group and fetch Colin.
"Brother-in-law." Aaron was behind the wheel as he called Colin that way. Sophia immediately felt uncomfortable and confronted his brother.
She whispered in Aaron"s ear and told him, "Don"t do this again. Haven"t I told you that I divorced him a long time ago?
If you call him this way, he might misunderstand our relationship. He might put unnecessary meanings to our relationship. I don"t want him to a.s.sume anything." If by any chance Colin thought it was Sophia who talked Aaron into this, then Sophia was in trouble.
As Sophia finished confronting Aaron, Colin went inside the car and sat beside her.
