"Who?" Mei asked, becoming curious about whom the man was looking at that could make him look like he had seen a ghost. It was a rare sight to see the man so confused, and she worried that the person he saw might affect her stay as well. "Sophia," Charles mumbled as his hands tightened on the steering wheel, furious that he wasn't aware of the girl's arrival. He wondered why she hadn't informed him about her coming. "What?" Mei looked around as the man was not responding to her. She couldn't see Sophia anywhere. She then thought that maybe the man was overthinking and mistook someone. "Maybe you were just seeing things." Charles doubted he mistook someone. He was sure that the woman inside the car that passed by was Sophia. What made him more frustrated was the fact that the car she was in was one of the cars that the man owned. Could it be that he had informed the man but not him? If so, was she planning to surprise him or something? "Could it be?" He thought for a moment about wh

The next few days, Sophia decided to join them at the man's home. She appeared all excited, as if she had just arrived. She acted like the sweet fiancée she was and behaved like a sister to the siblings. However, in reality, she detested them both and hated Charles to the core for having the audacity to cheat on her. When she found out that the woman had left, she became irritated that she didn't get to see her face. If she had known the girl planned to run away, she would have asked his family to take her and lock her up. How much she wanted to have people play around her for daring to be such a disgusting woman. "Sister, I'm so excited you're here," Megan happily clung onto Sophia's arm. She was happy that the relationship between her brother and the woman was not ruined because of Mei's sudden appearance in their lives. She had been wondering about who Mei is and how she knows her brother. "Hmm, I'm glad to be here as well," Sophia said, but deep inside, she felt differently. 'Smi

When Megan looked up to see who was by the door, her body froze as she felt chills down her spine. She felt worried that she might be in danger. "Director, why are you here?" Megan politely asked despite the fear in her heart. "I was bored and was roaming around when I heard news that the director's woman is in his office. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you again for what you did that day." Megan's heart was beating so fast; her body couldn't move at all. As the man moved closer to her, her mouth suddenly went dry, and she became speechless. James stood in front of the girl, seeing the fear in her eyes made him delighted. 'You dare act arrogantly on that day and humiliated me, when you can't even open your mouth now.' "Is something wrong? You look pale?" James teased with a smile as he approached the girl and touched her face. Megan felt the man's cold hand and couldn't move at all. She wanted to scream, but her mouth couldn't make a sound. "My, are you by chance ill

When Sophia headed to her room, she noticed the door was slightly open. She could already anticipate what was to happen next. "Charles, what are you doing here so late at night?" she spoke as if she was surprised to see the man, despite how much she wished he would leave her room right away. Charles got up from where he was seated and went towards the woman. Since they were staying in someone else's home, he needed to control his temper and not do anything reckless that could ruin his plans. "I came to check on you. After last night, I worried if you'll be fine." Sophia felt disgusted, recalling what had happened between them. How much she wanted to tear her skin off and remove every mark the man had made on her. "I'm fine," she said, as she didn't have a lot to say to the man. "Where did you go? It's already so late?" Charles inquired, curious about the excuse the girl would make. "I went to get some fresh air. Coincidentally, I bumped into Aug, so the two of us talked for a bit.

Charles noticed the strange atmosphere in the house. He wondered what could be happening if the man's family seemed to be in a somber mood. Despite his curiosity, he didn't ask or inquire about their worries. Instead, he hoped for good news. After receiving news from Megan that the man had allowed her to invite their mother over, he expected that the man would probably be proposing soon. "Charles, will you be going to pick Mother up?" Charles smiled as he saw Megan walk into his room, all dressed up with brand new necklaces, a gift from the man. Every day, he would see his sister wearing all sorts of expensive accessories specifically picked by the man. "Yes, you stay here and spend time with Aug since he isn't busy today." "Hmm, I will. I'll be having tea with them. So, I came up here to inform you that I can't come with you." Megan explained as she sat in the chair. "It's fine, I'll pick her up soon." Once Megan left the room, Charles's calm expression changed. Despite the good
