Anna was shocked and turned pale when she heard Robert's words.
"Robert, what are you talking about?" she asked.
Sophia was also stunned. She didn’t expect Robert to reveal her identity as his wife so openly.
Even if he wanted to, she didn’t want to be exposed. She just wanted to spend the next five years peacefully without any surprises.
If their marriage was made public, it would be difficult for her to remarry after the five-year contract was up.
At that moment, David took off his suit jacket and wrapped it around Anna’s exposed area.
Anna looked at Sophia in shock.
Sophia had black hair tied up in a bun, and her black professional suit outlined her graceful figure and beautiful face.
She was a beautiful woman, but Robert wouldn’t be interested in someone like her, who was not from a prestigious family and not a socialite in River City.
"Robert, I know you're angry with me for disturbing you at work, but I also know you don’t like women like Sophia," Anna said. "You can arrange for her to be your secretary, and I have no right to interfere. But when I came to visit you, she hit me. You don’t care about me, but you care more about her. What does that mean?"
Robert looked at Sophia and said, "Go check the schedule."
Sophia turned and left.
His journey was almost over, and he was doing this to get rid of her.
Sitting at her desk, she didn’t look at Robert. It had nothing to do with her, and she never interfered.
At this moment, Robert’s cold phoenix eyes fell on Anna, who was crying pitifully.
Anna felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her and looked at Robert with teary eyes. "Brother Robert, you have to help me, wu..."
Robert took something out of the drawer and put it in the water glass in front of him.
"Drink it."
"I know Brother Robert won’t harm me."
Anna didn’t understand, but she thought of their relationship. After drinking the water, she asked, "What is this?"
"You used it on me that night," Robert said.
Anna stared at Robert with wide eyes. "I... I... I didn’t... I..."
"Anna, you are my mother’s goddaughter, and only a goddaughter. Don’t think about getting more."
Robert’s phoenix eyes were like ice, staring at Anna, his voice filled with warning. "Sophia is my woman. If you dare to humiliate her again, it won’t be as simple as her slapping you. I will make you pay a price beyond your imagination. Do you hear me?"
The coldness cut through Anna’s body like a knife, making her tremble with fear.
He said Sophia was his woman?
No.
He must have found out what she had done before, and he was using these words to anger her.
She wouldn’t give up on him. Whoever tried to take Robert away from her, she would destroy them.
And the first one was that stinky woman, Sophia!
David sensed something was wrong with Anna and quickly took her away.
Sophia sneered when she saw Anna’s flushed cheeks and dizzy eyes. She was right. Once she left, Robert would take care of Anna.
Men. Ha... they’re all the same, yet they blame her instead.
Suddenly, a chill ran down her spine. She looked up and saw Robert standing in front of her.
"President Robert," she immediately stood up respectfully. "President Robert, your next schedule is to go home."
Robert glanced deeply at Sophia and, after taking two steps, turned around to look at her. "What are you standing there for? Come home with me."
Sophia hurriedly followed behind Robert.
In the car, Robert was still busy with work. Sophia tried to keep her distance from him by leaning against the window.
Suddenly, her phone rang. She saw that it was her youngest brother calling and, without hesitation, she hung up.
Then she saw a text message, and her face turned pale.
"President Robert, I need to get off the car to deal with something."
Robert stopped typing on his keyboard and handed Sophia a marriage certificate.
When Sophia saw the marriage certificate, her heart warmed. "Thank you, President Robert," she said.
"You don’t have to call me President Robert after work," Robert said, his clear and cold eyes fixed on Sophia. "Don’t worry about tearing up the marriage certificate. We can replace it anytime."
Sophia felt Robert’s thoughtfulness, and her heart warmed even more. She thanked him with a gentle voice, "Thank you, Master Miller."
Robert frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with how she addressed him, but he didn’t say anything.
"Don’t forget the contract you signed," Robert reminded her with his deep, magnetic voice as Sophia got off the car.
"I’ll definitely be back at the villa tonight," Sophia replied.
Robert glanced at Sophia and continued with his work.
After leaving Robert, Sophia went to Joseph’s villa.
"Sophia, you’re asking for trouble," a sharp female voice rang out in the spacious living room.
Sitting in the room was a middle-aged woman with a commanding presence—Mia, the real power behind the Garcia Group.
Sophia’s family stood beside Mia, their faces pale and trembling, while Joseph sat next to Mia.
"You dared not attend today’s wedding," Mia said, her eyes fixed on Sophia with a sinister look.
Sophia remained calm. She had anticipated this day.
"Do you think that by capturing my family, I will marry your son?" she asked, her eyes filled with ridicule.
"Little girl, don’t talk back to Madam." Abigail, filled with hatred toward Sophia, glared at her with disgust. "Kneel down and apologize to Madam."
"If it weren’t for my brother sending me a message, I wouldn’t have cared about your lives." Sophia gave Abigail a cold glance. "If you want to kneel and beg Mia for forgiveness, you can do it yourself. I won’t kneel."
"How dare you!" Abigail gritted her teeth and rushed toward Sophia, trying to hit her.
Sophia grabbed Abigail’s hand mid-air, pushed her away, and didn’t hit back.
"You have no right to speak here. Shut up." Sophia’s sharp gaze made Abigail speechless.
"You don’t have to watch me argue with my parents." Sophia looked at Mia with indifference. "You wanted to see me, and I’m here. Let them leave."
Mia’s eyes were cold as she stared at Sophia, then raised her hand, signaling Abigail and the others to leave.
Only Mia, Joseph, and Sophia were left in the hall.
"You’ve made me lose face at this wedding," Mia said, her tone full of hatred.
"It wasn’t me who made you lose face. It was your precious son, Joseph," Sophia retorted coldly. "He didn’t tell you about our bet and made you look bad in front of the guests."
Mia frowned and looked at Joseph, who remained silent.
"Mom, I don’t know what Sophia is talking about." Joseph leaned back on the sofa, looking at Sophia with a sinister smile.
Without hesitation, Sophia took out her phone and handed it to Mia. "You can see for yourself what’s going on."
Mia took the phone, looked at the contents, and immediately became furious. "What is this?"
