Saving Her

Brian's vigilance was heightened.

He could now get money from Smith. He no longer cared about Alexander. But if Alexander got involved, things would go downhill fast.

"You're going to take this." Brian took the phone and placed it in front of Sophia. "Tell him right now that it was all a joke. Follow my instructions exactly. Avoid engaging in deception."

After that, Brian answered the phone and placed the speakerphone on.

A guy said with eagerness, "Sophia! What is your location? What transpired? I'll be there at a moment's notice."

Sophia was taken aback by it for a moment. Liam clearly cared for her, and she could tell. At the same time, her eyes started to become red and she felt a lump in her throat.

Liam was such a blundering idiot. Despite the fact that she had been harsh to him, he still deeply cared for her.

As a result, Sophia became more reluctant to put him in harm's way.
