Chapter 16: Didn't Lie

There was no flicker of emotion in Sophie Allen's eyes.

She didn't even look back once.

"Sophie, you wait! I will expose your flirty matters outside to Stardust Garden, and I will leave you with nowhere to run! " Emily Allen was restrained by the security guard, and could only gnash her teeth and scream.

As they left the hospital, Henry Hudson couldn't help asking: "Charlotte, that woman just now…"

"They are my stepmother and stepsister." With her bruised face, Sophie Allen looked spent.

"Your stepsister mentioned…" What Henry intended to ask was something else.

"Mr. Hudson, I want to rush to the hospital. I will tell you in the car." Thinking of Aunt Watson being rushed to the hospital, Sophie was anxious.

Henry quickly nodded and hurriedly drove Sophie to Comet Hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, Aunt Watson had already awakened and, thankfully, was not seriously injured.

Sophie proceeded to deal with Aunt Watson's hospitalization procedures with Henry.

On the drive there, she told Henry about the circumstances of her being a substitute in marriage, and Henry was surprised to find that Sophie had such despicable family members.

At that moment, he felt even more sorry for the woman in front of him.

After the paperwork was finished, Henry firmly took Sophie with him to his office.

"Mr. Hudson, is there something you need to speak with me about?" Sophie asked, puzzled.

"It's about the wounds on your face." Henry sighed deeply before taking out the iodine and cotton swabs.

Sophie was taken aback, overwhelmed with gratitude.

With Henry helping her this time, she was unsure of how to repay him.

"Come here." Seeing Sophie in a daze, Henry revealed a gentle smile and patted the side of the mobile hospital bed.

Sophie nodded and walked over, sitting down.

There were bruises and scratch marks on her face, and the corner of her mouth was also torn. Henry bent down slightly to disinfect her wounds and apply medication.

The office door was open.

People were moving about outside, but they didn't know that all their movements had been recorded on video.

...

Stardust Garden, third-floor study room.

Jones George knocked on the door and entered to report, "Mr. Battleson, the video has been sent to your phone."

Justin Battleson frowned, clicking open the video.

In the video, Henry was gently caressing Sophie's face, their faces nearly touching each other.

"Huh."

Justin let out a cold laugh.

He thought Sophie had felt aggrieved because of the night's incidents and had hence escaped Stardust Garden late at night.

Unexpectedly, she had gone to meet Henry privately!

"Mr. Battleson, Miss Allen might not be cheating on you, you... take a look at the picture below." Jones George kindly reminded.

"How she is, it has nothing to do with me, she and I are only in a contractual relationship." Justin corrected him.

Then, he turned off the video and opened the next photo.

The photo was shot from front, showing Sophie's face clearly. Upon seeing Sophie's face at the moment, Justin's eyebrows further furrowed.

"What's going on?" The man's voice was chilling.

Jones grumbled silently, what happened to it not being his business?

If it was unrelated, why ask what happened?

Their Mr. Battleson was saying one thing but meaning another!

"Mr. Battleson, this is the situation. Miss Allen has a relative named Scarlett Watson who was held in Mercy Hospital under the control of her stepmother and stepsister. Tonight, it was Mr. Hudson who helped Sophie find Mrs. Watson and arranged the transfer of Mrs. Watson to Comet Hospital, under the Hudson Group." Jones reported faithfully.

He boldly guessed, "It seems that Sophie got married to you also because of this Mrs. Watson."

Justin's face instantly fell, seeming to echo Sophie's pleads from the previous night.

She said her relative, Aunt Watson, was hidden away by the Allen family, and her stepmother would only allow them to meet in a month. She pleaded to stay in Stardust Garden for a month.

So, Sophie was not lying.
