She pushed him away forcefully, maintaining a great distance from him.
"Co here," he ordered in a low voice.
"I’m so foolish." She tidied her clothes unhurriedly, a trace of resentnt in her eyes, "Foolish enough to believe you."
"Realizing it now isn’t too late."
She turned and walked away without a word, strangely, he didn’t try to stop her.
Sophie Smith walked out of the Golden Era Consortium, not knowing where to go.
She really didn’t want any more ties with that demon, not at all.
There was only one thought in her mind, which was to leave him.
She tried calling Wyatt Sterling, sending him texts, and ssages, but there was no response.
He must be having a tough ti right now. If Asher Land did fra Wyatt Sterling because of her, she could never forgive herself.
Sophie Smith sat absentmindedly in a café when a phone ringing broke the silence.
She glanced at the caller ID, it was Charlotte Harrison.
Alright, she admitted it, she wanted to ignore the call because every ti anything involved Charlotte Harrison, it was never good.
The call ca in five tis, ringing about fifty tis before Sophie Smith finally picked up the call.
"Oh, really busy, not even answering family calls?"
Charlotte Harrison’s sarcastic voice was particularly grating.
"Good to know I’m busy, I don’t have ti to chit-chat with you."
"You!" Charlotte Harrison was about to curse but rembered she needed Sophie Smith’s help, so she held back.
"Send so money."
Asking for money again? It’s not that she wouldn’t give it, but thinking of how she might use it to gamble again, why should she give it?
"What do you need the money for?"
"Just send it over when I tell you to, why so much nonsense?"
"If it’s for gambling again, I can’t do it." With that, she was about to hang up.
"Your dad is sick and needs money, you aren’t that heartless, are you?"
Father sick?
Without saying another word, she hung up and rushed to the station.
Christopher Smith was her relative, perhaps the only person in this world who still cared for and loved her, even though this love wasn’t as much as it was four years ago. She knew the pain caused by her mother’s death, and she wasn’t the only one suffering from it; Christopher Smith bore much more than she did.
He had been worrying over the house all the ti, the physical and ntal strain wasn’t sothing she could empathize with.
Her only hope now was that her father was alright.
She anxiously rushed back to Southern County, making several calls to Christopher Smith along the way, all of which went unanswered, further heightening her concern.
When she finally got ho, what she saw shocked her.
Christopher Smith, Jas Smith, and Charlotte Harrison were sitting on the living room sofa, talking and laughing, Christopher Smith looked flushed and energetic, with no signs of illness.
"Oh? Little Sophie, why are you back?" Christopher Smith was also surprised to see Sophie suddenly return ho.
Sophie gazed at Charlotte Harrison and saw a hint of panic in her eyes.
She must have lied.
Charlotte Harrison only used Christopher Smith’s illness as an excuse to ask for money, she didn’t expect Sophie to rush back so soon upon hearing this news, and now, the truth was about to be revealed.
"You’re so busy with work, how do you have ti to co back? Co, sit down and have a glass of water first." Christopher Smith warmly welcod Sophie.
"Dad, I just want to ask you one thing, is there any problem with your health?" Sophie asked with a serious expression, which made Christopher Smith startled.
"I-I’m healthy, why, why ask all of a sudden?"
