Goodbye My Wretched Love! By Dolly Molly Novel Chapter 31-40
Chapter 31
Then he asked cautiously and in a low voice, “Mr. Stwart, would you like to get a rabies vaccine?”
“Shut up!” Finley closed his eyes.
Justin quickly got into the car and started the engine.
Finley gritted his teeth and said, “Tell Meroy to fire Daisy, settle her salary, and let her go!”
Justin was taken aback for a moment, and the irritable but cute girl suddenly flashed in his mind, with a slight hesitance, he still responded.
What did these two people do to his boss to make him so angry?
The car drove toward the seaside villa in the east of the city. Finley had a lot of real estate in NY. He didn’t know where to go to sleep every day.
The secret base in Charming Bar, a villa on the beach, and a set of European–style mansions were built in the west of the city. In NY, where every inch of land was expensive, building a house covering an area of tens of thousands of square meter’s was simply enviable.
This event did not incStwartde large and small apartments of him, and even the top floor of the Sky Group
headquarters office building was his excStwartsive resting place.
But he just felt lonely, having been living in the cottage near the Campbell Family three years ago.
In order to win the heart of Sofia, he spent a lot of money at that time. Next to the main house of the Campbell Family in the most expensive area, he paid several times the high price to buy the villa of the neighbor of the Campbell Family.
After Sofia went to prison, Finley never went back to that villa.
That building was completely redecorated and designed according to Sofia’s preferences, and the murals at the entrance were painted by Sofia herself.
That villa was going to be used as their house after the wedding because it was convenient to take care of Sofia’s parents nearby.
Finley was an orphan, and Robert treated him as his son.
The big bed in that villa, the European–style garden, and even the large heart–shaped bathtub.
They also made love in that bathtub, it was crazy!
But now…
Finley’s hand slowly clenched into a fist. The woman he had been controlling no longer belonged to him at all.
He had a severe headache now, and his heart hurt even
more.
“How did the accident investigation go?”
Justin didn’t expect the question asked by his boss to be so out of beware, he hurriedly said, “Stwartke found out that the truck is a delivery man’s car. That man likes gambling. He lost his truck to a man named Evan Thomas.”
“And the delivery man has disappeared in the past few days, so Evan called his wife, but his wife has already left him because he likes to gamble.”
“A month ago, Evan gave his wife a large sum of money to pay for his son’s college education. Later, Evan could not be found.”
Finley frowned, “Investigate this person, and drag out the one behind the scenes.”
“Sure!”
Early the next morning, the Sky Group held a general meeting of shareholders. Justin looked at the scratches on Finley’s face made by Sofia, and the staff on the left and right also saw it.
There was an air of gossip over the entire company because their big boss Mr. Stwart was scratched in the face by a
woman.
Jesus Christ!
If Mr. Stwart wanted to sleep with a woman, isn’t it the easiest thing in this world? As long as he beckoned, the women would rush over frantically, but there was actually a woman who rejected their big boss, besides, she even scratched his face?
Justin carefully handed a mask to Finley, “Mr. Stwart, do you need this?”
Today’s shareholders‘ meeting was very important. It was about the Island project. There were dozens of shareholders in total. Among them, Finley was the largest one, Brian was the second, and then Justin and Cecil.
Finley walked into the meeting room wearing a mask, and everyone was taken aback for a moment. Although Finley was wearing a mask, Sofia scratched very skillfully.
Just above the edge of the mask, there was a small scratch showing, so it looked even more faintly visible when wearing the mask, which made people imagine.
Especially Brian, who was sitting closest to Finley, saw the scratch at a glance, and his face sank immediately.
Chapter 30
Seeing other men by her side made him want to kill.
Her smell was still so fascinating, making him sink countless times, wandering on the edge of madness and reason, just like every night three years ago.
Three years ago, while he was thinking about how to use her to harm Robert, he fell for her gently and crazily.
Sofia was no match for Finley at all, she was almost deprived of her breath by Finley, she couldn’t breathe, and just when he was about to suffocate, he finally let her go.
Sofia raised her hand and slapped Finley!
Finley leaned over and bit her slender neck, and said in a low voice, “Sofia…you don’t have a good memory. I told you not to be close to Brian, don’t you understand my words?”
“Then let’s talk in another way!”
“Don’t! Let me go!!” Sofia cried out. She screamed, struggled violently, and scratched Finley’s left cheek fiercely.
The pain made Finley calm down. He let go of Sofia and watched her despair.
Sofia was trembling badly, her eyes were already red, and her face was pale.
“No! I beg you!”

“Fine…Could you let me go if I let you fuck me?! Don’t touch me… I’ll do it myself…” Sofia was wearing baggy home clothes, a poor quality, wrinkled mess with a mottled cat print on it.
She began to unbutton her clothes, her hands shaking so badly that she couldn’t unbutton them no matter what.
She lowered her head and muttered to herself, “I’ll sleep with you, please don’t force me…”
“Enough!“Finley suddenly felt that all was so ridiculous.
Sofia repeated it over and over again in a low voice.
“Enough! Sofia !” Finley growled out.
Both of them were panting heavily, like two trapped beasts who had lost both sides in a fight.
There was a sound of high heels stepping on the ground. As if something happened to Sofia, Daisy almost ran up the stairs. Seeing the scene in front of her, she threw her bag at Finley.
“I’ll call the police! The CEO of NY Sky Group, Mr. Stwart, were you here to bully a weak woman? Shamed of you!”
Finley didn’t know what was wrong with him, now he was scratched by Sofia, and then hit by Daisy with a bag on his. head and face. He turned around in embarrassment and
strode away.
He quickly walked downstairs and rushed out of the building door. He raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

Assistant Justin, who had been waiting not far away, rushed to him and took a breath the moment he met Finley under the dim streetlight.
“Mr. Stwart! What happened to your face?”
Finley wiped his cheek, and he realized that his face was. bleeding.
Sofia was ruthless and hurt his face with one move.
He walked quickly to the car, raised his head, and leaned on the chair. He pulled off his tie and panted heavily.
His mind was messed up.
‘You cannot like her, she’s Robert’s daughter! She’s cruel, she pushed Ellie down those stairs, she’s merciless!‘
But he discovered that he missed her…
For three full years, he forced himself to forget Sofia. He emphasized countless times every day that he must forget her.
It’s like holding a knife to remind himself to forget her, stab once, forget her once. But it only made him crazy.
He stroked his burning cheeks, Justin hurriedly found the small medical kit. He took out a band–aid and put it on Finley’s face
Chapter 32
Normally, women would use their nails. If anyone in this world dared to scratch Finley, it was Sofia.
The woman who was afraid of Finley to death, but hated him to death.
And what did he do to Sofia?
Brian’s hands clenched into fists.
After Finley sat down, the secretary who presided over the shareholder meeting got up and said with a smile, “Today, Mr.Stwart invited everyone here to discuss the Island project in Kings County. The progress and reports of the project have been sent to everyone.”
“If you have…”
“I have something to say!” Brian slowly raised his slender hand and fixedly looked at Finley who was sitting on the front seat.
Finley also looked at him, and the two of them basically met each other now without saying hello.
“Say it!” Finley didn’t bother to look at him now but just stared at the report in his hand.
Brian said every word, “I want to divest! Withdraw all funds from this project!”
There were gasps all around! Brian accounted for 20% of the project, and if he withdrew all of the funds at once, it was kind of the end of the project.
Mr. Sanchez was not going to break up with Mr. Stwart completely, was he? This was breaking news! When did the two become enemies? They used to be close, right?
Finley raised his head and looked at Brian, his eyes turned cold.
“Brain, were you drunk last night?” Justin hurriedly smiled to smooth things over, “Haven’t you sobered up to now?”
“After the meeting, I’ll treat you to a cup of coffee. There’s a new coffee shop, which is quite interesting.”
“Yeah, we can go together,” Cecil echoed with a smile.
Brian ignored these two people, and still looked at Finley, “Mr. Stwart, I recently opened a new entertainment company, and I am planning to build the live broadcasting business. My capital chain is broken, so I’m sorry, I don’t have any extra money now.”
Everyone gasped, Brian was tough!
Finley didn’t speak for a long time, then he gestured to Justin who was standing behind him.
“Justin, go through the divestment procedures for Mr. Sanchez, but Mr. Sanchez must provide your company’s account number first. Also, Mr. Sanchez, since you made up your mind to divest, I’m afraid that you shouldn’t be here anymore.”
r:
Brian was taken aback for a moment, he didn’t expect Finley to embarrass him immediately, which meant to drive him
away.
He slowly got up and nodded to Finley, then turned and walked out of the meeting room.
“Mr. Stwart! Mr. Stwart! This…”
Others were anxious, after all, 20% of the funds had been withdrawn. Could this project be done now?
Finley raised his eyes and looked around, “I will make up for this gap myself. The expected development of the island will continue without any impact.”
“By the way, Justin, withdraw all the funds I invested in Sanchez Group, including the overseas branches of the Sanchez Family, and all future cooperation with me will be terminated!”
The meeting room became dead silent from the previous discussions.
Brian just withdrew from the investment in the island, and Finley obviously wanted to cut the necks of everyone in the Sanchez Family and let the Sanchez Family die.
The rest of the minority shareholders lowered their heads one after another, not daring to have any other thoughts.
They couldn’t resist Sky Group’s handling like this, let alone them, the Sanchez Family would also be seriously injured this time.
Seashore Villa Area was the place where NY wealthy families. gathered.
In the Hill Family’s Villa, the sun was just right, and the sea breeze was blowing in with water vapor. On the pavilion, Ellie was leaning on a chair and drinking coffee, listening to the chatter of Bella on the opposite side.
Her left hand, which was holding coffee, had undergone more than a dozen rehabilitation sessions, and it was recovering well.
In fact, there was no problem with her legs three years ago, but if she made Finley feel that there was a problem, there would be a problem.
In order to win Finley’s guilt toward her, she sat in a wheelchair for a year, and her leg muscles really atrophied a little.
Chapter 33
But in order to completely beat Sofia, she broke her arm on purpose at that time. Although Finley invited a famous doctor to help her, and she recovered pretty well, after all, she was not very flexible with that arm.
She put down the coffee cup, picked up the hand cream, and began to care for her hands.
Bella went mad with anger, “I knew Sofia would come back with revenge, I just knew it!”
“Not long after she came out, Mr. Sanchez and Mr. Stwart parted ways.”
“What happened in the meeting has almost spread throughout NY.”
“Mr. Sanchez and Mr. Stwart were close friends, and now for Sofia…”
Ellie’s face sank, and there was a cold light in her slightly drooping eyes.
She realized that Bella, this idiot, came here to use her as a knife to kill people Bella hated.
Something went wrong in the last car accident, so Ellie didn’t dare to do anything to Sofia in the short term.
Her worst fears still happened, and Finley’s feelings for Sofia rekindled.
Huh! She wanted to see how the two of them could get back together after such a quarrel?
Ellie suddenly raised her hand and picked up a document bag on the wicker chair, and casually threw it in front of Bella.
Bella was stunned a little and hurriedly took the file, which turned out to be a stack of photos.
She looked at them and her face changed suddenly.
The photos were taken secretly, but the candid
photographer chose a good angle and the photos were very clear.
When Sofia set up a stall, Brian helped her sell goods.
Also, Brian helped Sofia push the car home.
Bella held her breath in her chest.
Ellie sighed and put down the hand cream, “I don’t know what Brian is thinking, huh.”
“I heard that after he plans to divest the project, he invests the money abroad, maybe he wants to leave NY with Sofia?”
Bella panicked all of a sudden. She did so much to marry into the Sanchez Family, and even lowered her self–esteem to please the mean Mrs. Sanchez, not for the sake of letting Sofia enjoy the benefits.
Ellie said slowly, “Bella, you are actually a very good girl, but you have been blocked by Sofia’s halo in the past, and others can’t see how great you are.”
18 jee Nouchers “Mr. Sanchez probably just thinks she is interesting for now, but if Mr. Sanchez helps Sofia with plastic surgery, she will still be very beautiful.”
Bella couldn’t be maintained calm at all, the muscles on her face trembled slightly, and she pinched those photos tightly.
Ellie looked at Bella, “You are my bestie, I don’t want to talk too much to others, but to you… I’d better remind you a little bit.”
“Brian just looks like a playboy, but actually, he is very serious about everything, and once he is determined, he will stick to it.”
“Have you liked Brian for a long time? I heard Mrs. Sanchez talking about you the other day, and she praised you for being a lady. She probably wanted you to be her daughter- in–law. In fact, your dream will come true soon, so I understand that you don’t want any accidents to happen.”
“After all, Sofia is a murderer. The Sanchez Family will not accept her. You still have a chance.”
“But, you know, men can be…”
Bella stood up and looked at Ellie in a panic, “Ellie, I still have something to do, I’d better leave first.”
“Sure! See you later!” Ellie waved her hand gracefully.
Bella walked out of the garden quickly, her steps were chaotic, and she got into her Bentley, still clutching the file bag tightly.
“Sofia! You slut!”
“Why didn’t you die in jail?”
It took her a long time to catch her breath. She could not count on Ellie anymore. If she didn’t do something else, her prince charming would probably fly away.
She was so angry that she burst into tears, and with trembling hands, she picked up her phone and dialed the agent’s number.
“Miss Perry?”
“Go and contact the reporter of the Metropolitan
Entertainment News, I have some photos of Mr. Sanchez, he should like them.”
“Let him write the report carefully, and if he makes me satisfied, I’ll pay him a hundred per word!”
Although the shock in the NY business world was caused by Sofia, Sofia didn’t know that a storm was coming.
Chapter 34
Finley got drunk and came to Sofia’s rental house in the middle of the night, she didn’t expect him to take his anger out on Daisy and dismissed Daisy from the Charming Bar.
Daisy scolded Finley for being a pervert and had to go to other clubs to apply for the job, but the employees who were dismissed by Finley were hard to be accepted in other places..
Sofia knew that Finley was forcing her, forcing her to lose the last bit of her dignity to cater to him.
She didn’t know what Finley wanted, a woman? There was never a shortage of beauties around him, not to mention the beautiful women in the Charming Bar, even those big–name celebrities, or even any socialite in NY, if Finley was willing, he could get them.
But he hated her so much that he didn’t want to let her go.
Her mother’s medical bills made her breathless, so Sofial could only draw on T–shirts. She used to draw for seven or eight hours a day, but now it was almost ten hours, and her hands were shaking.
Daisy couldn’t help her with painting, but could only help her push the cart to sell things in the night market.
The division of labor between the two of them was clear, their efficiency improved a lot, and they made more money.
Sofia was tired from drawing and just wanted to stop for a
Chapter 34
rest when the phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar landline number.
Sofia quickly picked it up.
“Hey, do you know Daisy Cooper? Come to the Police Station in Queens County!”
Sofia was dumbfounded when she heard that, Daisy took her patterned T–shirt to the night market to set up a stall more than an hour ago, why was she in the police station now?
“Officer, may I ask what happened to my friend?” Sofia’s heart hung.
“She was suspected of fighting.”
Sofia hurriedly grabbed her coat and went downstairs, taking a taxi directly to the Police Station.
After going to the police station, she learned that Daisy had an argument with someone in the night market just now, and both parties fought and were temporarily detained.
It was already late at night, and Sofia wanted to release Daisy on bail, but she had to wait until the next day to contact the relevant lawyer.
She was walking in the street outside the police station in a panic, and the cold night wind made her tremble constantly.
She knew that although Daisy had a bit of a temper, she was not the kind who would conflict with people for no reason, so there must be something wrong with it.
Sofia had been in prison for three years. After the Campbell Family was down, everyone left. Of course, the Campbell Family had no connections in NY anymore, and everyone avoided her like the plague.
At this moment, she didn’t even have anyone to talk to.
Suddenly a white Bentley stopped beside Sofia, it stopped too fast and almost hit Sofia.
Sofia jumped onto the side of the road in a hurry, and the car window fell, revealing Bella’s face wearing sunglasses.
She took off her sunglasses and looked at Sofia coldly.
Sofia frowned.
Bella smiled lightly, “Sofia, I’m just telling you, don’t think that you are still the famous Miss Campbell in NY in the past.”
“You are nothing now, so live your peaceful life, and don’t ask for things that don’t belong to you.”
“Otherwise, your life can be more miserable.”
Sofia rushed over suddenly, staring at Bella sitting in the car.
“Is that you?”
Bella’s face delicately made up flashed a smug look, “Sofia, a person like you should die quietly by yourself. I didn’t expect there to be a fool who risked her life to help you.”
“Today is just a warning, remember my words! Do you understand?”
Bella started the car and drove away.
Sofia stared in the direction Bella was leaving, and what she was most worried about happened, and those people started to attack Daisy.
Her hands clenched tightly into fists, and her breathing became a little stagnant.
She took a breath, took a taxi, and went back to the rental house, frantically looking for the small cupboard where she kept her groceries.
Chapter 35
Sofia’s hands were shaking badly. She had been in prison and knew how difficult it was.
Although Daisy was only detained for a few days, Sofia felt like someone was stabbing her heart with a knife. Daisy was the bottom line of her that could not be touched.
She originally thought that she could avoid and live her life. in peace, but some people just didn’t want her to have a good time.
She didn’t know why Bella would do anything to her. Bella was the last person in the world who should do anything to her.
In the past, she was so kind to Bella, and she was always close to her for any benefits. Every time she went to Italy to participate in an international design conference, she would bring many gifts when she came back.
Why was she doing this?
Sofia finally found the card in the crevices of the debris, the kind of decorative card on the table in the cafe, with the phone number written by Brian on it.
After he came back from Italy, he kept pestering her.
She escaped, but he was entangled.
He
gave her a new phone with his own phone number stored
on it, but Sofia returned it, so he handwritten his phone. number on the card for her.
To this day, Sofia still remembered the corners of his lips slightly curled up, showing a wicked smile, saying that it was his private number, only his grandfather, parents, and a few good friends had his number, but Finley was blacklisted by him, then he gave her the honor to fill the vacancy.
Sofia thought it was a little ridiculous, but Brian forced it into her change bag.
Later, Sofia randomly threw the card into the locker. The reason why she didn’t throw it into the trash can was because the pattern on the card was very unique, therefore, she kept it first and planned to study the pattern.
At this moment, Sofia held the card tightly, took a breath, and dialed the number.
The Sanchez Family stood in the southeast of NY. It was an old villa, and they developed and expanded this place.
Mr.Sanchez liked to go back to the old house for a period of time every year, but this year he didn’t live very well.
He felt that his grandson was suffering from hysteria, or he couldn’t figure out why Brain suddenly confronted Finley. He thought his grandson must be insane.
No one could offend Finley in NY. Besides, his grandson and Finley were so close. Why did they suddenly become like this?
Because of Finley’s suppression, the stock of the Sanchez
Family had been falling all the way since yesterday, causing all Sanchez Family members to panic.
At this time, Brain’s parents, who were on vacation abroad, rushed back and sat in the living room with Mr. Sanchez.
The Sanchez Family had turned iron blue, and everyone was staring straight at Brian, who was acting like he had done nothing.
Brian was sitting on the sofa opposite his grandfather, he didn’t seem to feel the anger of the Sanchez Family. They all considered Brain an idiot now.
“Are you crazy? Give me a reason why you offended Finley?”
Brian’s father, Simon, wished he could slap his stupid son in front of him to death, but Mrs. Sanchez pulled him to sit down.
Mrs. Sanchez looked at her son and hurriedly said, “Brian, what are you thinking?”
“There are so many people in NY who want to make a
fortune with Mr. Stwart, but Mr. Stwart doesn’t even look at them, but you… You know that we can’t afford to offend Finley.”
“Oh! What? He’s the Lord of Hades?” Brian sneered.
“Besides, whether it is divestment or investment, it is my own money and has nothing to do with the Sanchez Family.”
“Back then, Uncle Tad rode on your heads to shit and piss and almost ruined our family. You would rather throw your
son out, and keep your own business?”
“Now that I have money, I can spend it as I want!”
“You! What are you talking about! You have the guts to say it again!” Simon’s face turned pale with anger, and even the old Mr.Sanchez, who had been sitting silently in the seat, was slightly embarrassed
Chapter 36
The Sanchez Family had a great business, especially in shipping, which was extremely lucrative.
In the beginning, the eldest and the second son of the Sanchez Family each controlled 50% of the shares. The second son was highly valued by Mr. Sanchez, and he made things difficult for Brain’s father, the eldest son, and finally, he reached his hands to Brain, who was the only son of his brother.
If Mr. Sanchez hadn’t stepped forward and sent Brain abroad to avoid the storm, he would have been poisoned by his own. uncle long ago.
Simon and his wife knew that they were wrong in this
regard. At that time, they were too cowardly to face Tad and protect Brain. Later, Brian returned to NY, and with the help of Finley, he set a trap for his uncle and helped his father to get back what he used to have.
Because of this loss, Brian never let the money he earned from his partnership with Finley enter the account of the Sanchez Family. He set up his own company and drew a clear line with the Sanchez Family.
At this time, the elders of the Sanchez Family were obviously short of breath. After all, what Brian said was right, it was his own money so he could decide to invest or not.
Mr. Sanchez closed his eyes, and suddenly threw an
entertainment newspaper in front of Brian.
“See it yourself!”
Brian never liked to read this kind of scandal newspaper. He picked it up with a sneer and glanced at it. He sat up straight and stared at the pictures in the newspaper.
The living room was a bit cold and Mr.Sanchez looked at his always rebellious grandson and said, “A few years ago, when the Campbell Family was still around, we had been relying on them for a long time.”
“At that time, Robert didn’t show mercy to us, and even started a shipping company to try to compete with us.”
“Later, Finley joined forces to make a move, so the Campbell Family disappeared completely from NY.”
Brian’s hand was tightly clutching the newspaper. He couldn‘ t believe that someone actually took a sneak shot of him.
Mr. Sanchez sighed, “Sofia is a murderer!”
“Even if you like her, she can’t marry you.”
Brian’s face darkened, “I also thought she was too cruel to Ellie before, but you didn’t know what life she is having now.”
“Her father is ruthless in doing things, but he will never hurt the family.”
“Besides, I always feel that Ellie is hypocritical. I don’t like her. Now her leg has been healed, and her hands have recovered well. But what about Sofia? Her life has been
completely ruined!”
r
“She’s completely different from when she was a child, I…”
“Brian!” Mr. Sanchez said coldly, looking at his insane grandson, “Whether it’s Ellie or Sofia, they both belong to Finley. You’d better stop now.”
“Also, we do not welcome a murderer as one of us!”
Brian suddenly raised his head and looked at his grandpa, “Grandpa, it’s my freedom to choose the person I like or I don’t like.”
Mr. Sanchez’s eyes showed a bit of coldness, “Yeah, It’s your freedom, but if some woman wants to make use of our
Sanchez Family to do something to revenge Finley, it’s also my freedom to deal with her.”
“Besides, we all know that when the Campbell Family fell down, Robert was forced to jump off the building by Finley. However, don’t forget that you did contribute to all these!”
“Are you sure that she doesn’t hate you? Can you guarantee that she doesn’t approach you for other purposes?”
Brian felt it so complicated for a moment, so he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Suddenly the phone rang, and it was Sofia’s call.
Brian stood up suddenly and picked up the phone, feeling a little excited inside.
After he ran into Sofia in Charming Bar and became
interested in her, he had been chasing after her until now.
He had given a lot, but he had never received the slightest response from her.
Unexpectedly, she called him, finally at a late night, the key point was that this was the first time she took the initiative to call him, so Brian was a little excited.
“Hey! Why calling me? Are you missing me?” Brian laughed out loud with his eyes sparkling.
Chapter 37

All his family suddenly darkened their faces.
Sofia’s voice on the other end of the phone was a little
anxious, “Mr. Sanchez, Daisy has an accident and is now in the police station. Please help me.”
**
“What? Where are you now?” Brian hurriedly turned and walked toward the door.
“Stay!” Mr. Sanchez was trembling with anger, and before he could finish his words, Brian just kept walking without any hesitation.
“Bastard! Stay here!” Simon also stood up and snapped.
Brian hung up the phone, turned around and looked at the angry elders in the living room, and sneered, “Ten years ago, when I was most fragile, you didn’t care about my life, so there’s no need to care about me now.
“You…what are you talking about! Get back!!” Simon raised his hand and threw the cup on the coffee table toward Brian. The cup rubbed against Brian’s body and fell to the marble floor, shattering into pieces.
Brian raced into the night in his sleek Ferrari.
Sofia was also a little panicked at this time, she seemed to have no other choice but to call Brian.
What she didn’t expect was that Brian came so quickly.
When she put down the phone and was still in a daze, Brian had already arrived at the gate of the community by car.
There were almost no parking spaces in the dilapidated community, debris was piled up everywhere, and the driveway was extremely cramped.
Brian called Sofia, who hurried to the door.
She was wearing washed white jeans and a plain white T- shirt.
She drew pictures on everyone’s T-shirts, but her own was blank, and against her pale face, she was even more pitiful in the night.
Sofia got into the back seat of Brian’s Ferrari, and Brian snorted and laughed, “So I’m your driver?”
Sofia was taken aback, then hurriedly opened the door and sat in the passenger seat in the front.
Her past experience made her unwilling to get too close to people, but she was sitting next to Brian. Although he was an acquaintance, she was still sweating nervously.
She grabbed the seat belt, but couldn’t fasten it because she couldn’t use her left hand.
“I’ll help you!” Brian loosened his seat belt and leaned over his body against Sofia, it was so close that Sofia’s face turned slightly red.
“What? Fear that I’ll kiss you?” Brian helped her fasten her seat belt, and his eyes met her slightly chapped dry lips. Her
lips were actually beautiful, making people feel like a kiss impulse.
Her eyes were also pretty, although they were a little empty and sad, but still very attractive.
Brian actually paused in front of her, raising his hand to help her adjust her hair, but Sofia subconsciously turn aside her face and avoided his gaze.
Brian smirked, sat down properly again, and fastened his seat belt.
“Are you hungry? I’ll take you to eat something first.”
“Mr. Sanchez,” Sofia begged and looked at Brian. Now that Daisy was still in the police station, she had no mood to eat at all.
Brian started the engine, “Come on! Even if you have to go. through the procedures for bail, it should be tomorrow. So, I’ m afraid your friend can only stay there for the whole night.”
Sofia was the one who asked for help, so she didn’t dare to say anything.
Brian took her to a high–end private restaurant with flexible business hours, which was very suitable for rich men like them to take their little girlfriends out for a light meal and bond with each other.
The location of the private restaurant was kind of remote, and it took them half an hour to get there.
The restaurant was very elegantly decorated, and running water was even brought in under the private rooms, where koi were raised.
Brian ordered a large table of dishes. Even the vegetarian dishes cost much and of course, they looked pretty appealing.
“Enjoy yourself then! I have contacted the lawyer, and we will go to the police station for bail tomorrow morning!”
Sofia looked at the exquisite dishes in front of her, feeling a little dazed.
It was not that she had never owned the wealth and honor before, she just felt like she returned to the world three years ago, even for a moment, she felt at a loss.
Chapter 38
Brian had dinner and had no appetite at this time, so he gave Sofia everything.
He was one step closer to Sofia, who offered to call him and have dinner with him.
“What’s wrong with your voice?” Brian seemed obsessed with her voice.
When he was young, he played with Sofia and often listened to Sofia singing. He had to admit that the Campbell Family raised Sofia really well, and she was also excellent and capable.
She was good at piano, violin, painting, equestrian…
She could sing too and she sang pretty well. She was gifted with a good voice.
Sofia tightened her fingers holding the porcelain cup, and said in a hoarse voice, “They locked me in a closed storage room, burned my clothes, and stuffed them into my mouth.”
Brian’s face darkened.
Sofia’s voice was calm, “Later, they thought it was not fun enough to play like this, so they pulled me out, poured gasoline on cotton swabs and lit them, stuffed them into my mouth one by one, and stabbed them directly into my throat…”
“Let’s eat and stop talking,” Brian sat up with a broken and flustered expression.
He subconsciously poured a glass of freshly squeezed juice for Sofia, and his hand holding the glass bottle trembled slightly.
Sofia looked up at Brian, “Brian, I’m not a murderer, I didn’t push Ellie, I…”
“I believe you!” Brian looked at her and repeated again, “I believe you now. I will help you find out about this matter, and we will do it one by one.”
Brian’s words hit Sofia’s heart hard, and at that moment, she felt her breathing was a little stagnant.
Even Brian, who was a playboy and had no ambition, believed her, but that person didn’t.
From the very beginning, Finley held the belief that she was the murderer.
Sofia clenched the chopsticks in her hand, and her knuckles turned white.
Her left hand hanging under the table felt a little painful, especially when the weather changed, it was a little itchy.
She looked at Brian with a slightly complicated gaze. Brian was attracted by Sofia’s deer–like eyes, and subconsciously raised his head and rubbed her dry hair because of malnutrition.
may be busy these days. Something happened to my
business. It will take up to three months. I will take you out of NY, when you go abroad, I will help you with your face and hand. As for the problem with your voice, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear it if we perform the surgery together, so let’s do some treatment about your voice later.”
Sofia nodded.
Just because Brian believed her, she felt that she should give Brian the same trust, believing that he would definitely take her out of this living hell.
Brian continued, “I have already contacted a nursing home abroad. There are still some ways to treat patients in a
vegetative state there. We will place the house near that nursing home, so it will be convenient for you to take care of your mom.”
“Although Finley is powerful in NY, he can’t reach that far abroad. When your left–hand recovers, I believe your talent will not be buried.”
“Also, if your friend Daisy is willing to go with us, you can also take her with you. You two can take care of each other then.”
“By the way, you and your friend should start applying for passports in the next few days, and go through some procedures as soon as possible.”
“In this regard, you should understand because you have traveled abroad a lot before.”
Sofia nodded with warmth in her heart.
This was the best arrangement for her. She didn’t expect anything extravagantly now, she just wanted to be able to stay with the person she cared about the most and live a peaceful life.
She raised her head and looked at Brian, “Mr. Sanchez.”
“Don’t call me that, call me Brian, or you can call me brother crocodile just like you did when you were a child.”
Sofia’s cheeks flushed slightly. When she was a child, she was naive and said that Brian was a big evil crocodile in the river, so she just called him brother crocodile.
And now time had passed, and her life had changed beyond recognition.
The next day, Brian accompanied Sofia to the police station. The lawyer he hired saw that Mr. Sanchez was there himself, so he naturally did things quickly.
Chapter 39
In less than half a day, they negotiated compensation with the other party responsible for the accident and released Daisy from the police station on bail.
They could tell that Daisy didn’t sleep well by her two thick dark circles under her eyes, and wounds on her forehead and lips.
Sofia rushed over and grabbed Daisy’s hand.
Daisy’s face was injured, her forehead was scratched, fortunately, the wound was not very deep, the corners of her lips were also torn, and her cheeks were also swollen as if someone had slapped her face.
Sofia was trembling with anger, and just about to say something, she was pulled by Brian to the side.
“Let’s talk outside!”
Sofia grabbed Daisy’s hand and got into Brian’s car. Brian and Daisy were kind of getting close these days. Daisy knew that Sofia had begged Brian and asked him for help. So she could come out smoothly.
Daisy, insisted on treating Brian with a meal for his big help. She had always been a girl with a clear distinction between likes and hates.
She owed Brian this time so she had to pay him back.
Daisy chose a Chinese restaurant. It was small, but it was
clean. They asked for a private room, and the three of them opened a few bottles of beer.
Brian was the kind of guy who was very easygoing and didn’t put on airs.
He could talk about arts with those rich ladies in a fancy restaurant, and he could also have a few drinks with a hearty girl like Daisy without any problem, and at most, he would call a driver later.
Sofia first went to a small pharmacy to buy iodophor to disinfect Daisy’s wounds, “Daisy, what happened?”
Daisy couldn’t hide it from her friend, so she raised her head and glanced awkwardly at Brian who was sitting across from her.
Brian laughed, “Just go ahead, even though I’m a bit fierce, I don’t eat people.”
Daisy scolded with a smile, “It’s all because of you!”
The smile froze on Brian’s face.
Daisy said, “Have you read the Metropolitan Entertainment News? Sophy must have been busy drawing and hasn’t seen it. I can’t believe that some asshole took a photo of you helping Sophy set up a street stall in the night market.”
“I just came out of the stall last night, and a few stupid women walked up to me and cursed at my stall. They said lots of dirty words about Sophy!”
“They said that Sophy kept hooked up men and even had seduced you, Mr.Sanchez!”
“And they said that Sophy was a murderer…”
Daisy’s face was flushed with anger, she didn’t say anymore. and she just gritted her teeth, “How can I bear this kind of thing, damn, those bitches were so weak.”
After all, Daisy had been working in Charming Bar for so many years, so she did pretty well on cursing people.
“Those bitches couldn’t win me with their words, so they started to pull my hair. You know me, so I fought back.”
Sofia held Daisy’s hand tightly and wanted to thank her, but the words “thank you” could no longer express her gratitude to Daisy.
She owed her so much.
Brian didn’t look good either, and now that Sofia had just been released from prison, everyone was bullying her.
Did they really think that no one in NY could protect her?
He looked at Sofia, “There’s a ball next Sunday, and I need a prom date, can you come with me?”
Sofia froze in place.
Brian looked at her seriously, “As long as your surname is Campbell, then the Campbell Family is still there. Then there is still a place for you in NY.”
“This time it was your friend who was beaten, and you will
be the next one.”
“Although I’m not as famous as Finley, no one can bully the people I care about. Am I clear?”
Sofia took a breath but nodded anyway.
A gentle smile curled up on the corner of Brian’s lips, and he reached out and stroked Sofia’s hair, like smoothing the hair of a poor puppy.
Daisy on the side couldn’t help laughing and joking, “Hey! I am still here! PDA is unethical, OK?”
Although Sofia knew that Daisy was joking, her heart still skipped a beat.
Chapter 40
She was not good enough for Brian now.
Not to mention that she had long since lost her heart. She once had such a vigorous but poisonous relationship with Finley, so it was ridiculous for her to even mention love again.
After dinner, the three young people went for a walk on the seaside promenade to digest their food.
Daisy deliberately walked far away, so that Brian was by Sofia’s side. Brian grabbed Sofia’s arm and stopped at the fence.
“The scenery here is good. I remember that we played together when we were young and were quite intimate, but we never took a photo together.”
“Come here! Let’s take a photo!”
Sofia stood beside Brian obediently for a moment, but suddenly Brian raised his hand and hugged her into his arms, pressing her tightly on his broad shoulders.
He raised his phone at the two of them, “Cheese!”
Sofia forced an unnatural smile, but Brian’s smile was bright.
With a click, Brian clicked the button.
Then he lowered his head to add a frame to the photo, but said to himself, “Sofia, I like you.”
Sofia’s eyes widened suddenly.
Brian lowered his head and didn’t dare to look at her, but said slowly, “You hate Finley, and you hate me too, right?”
“You chose to show up in Charming Bar after you got out of prison, knowing that I am a frequent visitor there.”
“You know I will sympathize with you, and you know I actually liked you a few years ago.”
“You know that once I fall in love with you, it can definitely deal an unprecedented blow to Finley.”
“Back then, Finley used himself as bait to get you, but now…”
“I must confess that I have to feel for you, actually when I returned here with Finley seven years ago, from the moment you started going after Finley, I have been in love with you. It’s just that you were so shiny and proud at that time, and you and my best buddy fell in love with each other, then I chose to quit.”
“Is it funny? I haven’t even started yet, but I opted out!”
Sofia’s heart was throbbing fiercely and her hands clenched into fists.
Brian sighed, “Sofia, you must want to ask, since I like you, why did I have to hurt your family. Because at that time I didn’t know I liked you, I just felt that I admired you, but it
was just that. I’ve only figured out recently that I’ve fucking fallen in love with you for a long time.”
“Sofia, let go of the hatred and let go of yourself, also, let go. of Finley, I will take you away,” Brian turned around and hugged Sofia who was stiff all over, tightly into his arms.
That was the hatred hidden in the deepest part of her heart. She was all alone and had nothing left, so she could only rely on this body to gain weight for herself, and her deepest evil thought was exposed by the person she plotted for.
She had known Finley and Brian for a long time.
Finley and she met seven years ago. At that time, she was a freshman studying at a famous foreign school. She met him. in the spring and brought him back to NY in the summer.
Brian returned too, and he self–proclaimed himself as her childhood best friend.
At that time, the three of them often hung out together and became good friends.
She and Brian had known each other since they were in kindergarten, and Brian left NY and disappeared for a long time, then when she came back, her childhood friend became her boyfriend’s close friend.
She and Brian were very similar in character and both liked to make trouble, saying mocking words to each other, while Finley on the side smiled and watched them laughing and playing.
It was just that in the end she didn’t expect that her beloved
fiancé and best Childhood friend, whom she trusted the most, joined forces to send her to hell.
How could she not hate them, of course, she wanted revenge, but she hopelessly found that Finley was so powerful that no one in NY dared to defy him, and the breakthrough was Brian, and only Brian.
She pushed Brian away, and her face turned pale. She said nothing, turned, and left.
“Sofia!” Brian was also a little flustered and hurriedly chased after her.
In fact, he wanted to keep his feeling inside longer, but his love that had been dusty for so many years, just like
Pandora’s box, once it opened, it could never be closed again.
