Chapter 15: Future Son-in-law?
"Almost? What a pity." Sophie Allen showed a disappointed expression.
A man like Ryan Richards should really lose his abilities to avoid causing harm again!
"Sophie Allen, you damned whore, you're jealous of me and Ryan being together, so you hurt Ryan, right?" Emily Allen stared with eyes wide due to the pain in her wrist, her teeth bared in a grimace.
Sophie frowned slightly.
Knowing Emily's fiery temper, how could she still defend Ryan Richard if she knew what he was really like?
Just as she was confused, a slap landed on Sophie's face.
Mia Stewart, momentarily dropping her haughty, wealthy woman image, rolled up her sleeves and glared, "How dare you hurt my daughter and my precious future son-in-law, I'll show you!"
"Future son-in-law? Mia Stewart, your taste in men leaves something to be desired." Sophie scorned, with an undertone of self-derision.
Ryan Richard had been her boyfriend for two years, she was also blind.
Upon hearing this, Emily's face became smug: "Sophie, sour grapes? I'll tell you, at my birthday party, I'll announce the date of our engagement with Ryan. Go ahead and be jealous!"
"By then, Ryan and I, a match made in heaven, will be the talk of the town."
"And you? Even if Stardust Garden is rich, your husband is an invalid who can't even carry out basic marital duties, right?"
"You're bound to a lonely widowhood! Hahahaha..."
"Didn't Ryan tell you about today?" Sophie seemed particularly calm, her clear eyes full of chill.
Emily didn't think much before retorting, "You burst into Ryan's apartment to retrieve your manuscript? What's the use? The perfume is about to hit the market! You've just done hard labor for nothing, free labor at that, how stupid!"
Sophie instantly understood.
It turned out Ryan Richard had hidden the truth from Emily, especially about Jessica Taylor.
She couldn't help but laugh, "Emily, Emily, you and Ryan Richard are really a match."
"A whore and a dog, together forever."
"I sincerely wish you forever and ever!"
Sophie's mockery infuriated Emily and Mia even more.
They were so angry that they ganged up on Sophie. Sophie, in a one-against-two situation, eventually couldn't hold them both back.
Blood soon seeped from the corner of her mouth.
But she gritted her teeth without begging for mercy or admitting defeat.
"Charlotte, my Charlotte..."
Aunt Watson rushed in, her frail body like a dry branch.
Seeing Sophie being beaten, Aunt Watson was distraught, she fainted and fell to the ground.
"Aunt Watson--"
Sophie wanted to rush over, but her arms were pinned down.
Her eyes went red with desperation and she struggled like a madwoman, totally losing the calm she had maintained earlier.
Just then, "Bang."
A tall man kicked open the office door.
"Mr. Hudson!" Surprised, Sophie quickly shouted, "Quickly, save Aunt Watson."
Doctors followed Henry Hudson, and Aunt Watson was immediately taken away.
Then the security guards rushed in and restrained Mia Stewart and Emily Allen.
"How dare you, don't you know who I am to dare arrest me!" Mia Stewart rebuked loudly.
Emily also joined in the outcry.
Sophie stood up, feeling faint.
She took a few steps forward, then suddenly stumbled and began to fall forward.
"Charlotte!" Henry Hudson caught her.
"Aunt, Aunt Watson..." Sophie gritted her teeth, struggling to stand up straight.
Henry Hudson immediately supported her arm and quickly said, "Don't worry, Aunt Watson has been taken to Rhein Hospital for emergency treatment, those who just left were Rhein doctors."
Hearing this, Sophie nodded gratefully, speaking weakly: "I need to go to Rhein, I need to be with Aunt Watson."
"Okay, I'll take you." Henry Hudson assisted Sophie as they started walking out.
Watching the two cling to each other, Emily gave a snide laugh:
"Oh, Sophie, you're hooking up with the pretty young doctor? If the folks at Stardust Garden find out... would your invalid husband beat you to death?"
