DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR

CHAPTER 6 Boy guard

He took down those thugs like it was nothing.

His combat skills might even outmatch her hired bodyguards.

“St-Stop right there!”

Seeing Karvel closing in step by step, the bald man panicked. “I’m warning you—stay back! If you lay one finger on me—ugh!”

Before he could finish, Karvel punched him square in the gut.

The bald man collapsed to his knees, choking, and vomited bile from the pain.

At that moment, Sophia stepped out of the car and walked over, looking down at the man with cool detachment.

“Talk. Who sent you?” she asked.

“I... I...” the bald man stammered.

“No?”

Sophia gave a soft smile, picked up one of the fallen knives, and pressed it lightly to his neck.

“Then I’ll carve it out of you—inch by inch.”

As soon as she raised the knife, the bald man panicked.

“Wait! I’ll talk! It was the Garnett family—second young master of the Garnetts! He sent me!”

With his life on the line, loyalty wasn’t even a consideration.

Sophia narrowed her eyes. “And why would the Garnetts be interested in me?”

She gave a cold laugh. “Go back and tell him—I’m not forgetting tonight. When the time comes, I’ll pay him a personal visit.”

“Y-yes, yes, of course...”

The bald man scrambled up and dragged his men away in a flurry of panic.

Karvel stood off to the side, a little stunned.

He’d expected the lady in the car to be fragile and frightened after being surrounded by so many men. Turns out, she was sharp—and not at all helpless.

Interesting.

“I’m Sophia Yale,” she said, dropping the knife and smoothing out her evening dress. “And you are? I must say, you really saved my life back there. I don’t even know how to thank you.”

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him.

“Karvel. And no need for thanks.” He chuckled. “Just try to be more careful next time. A lady like you really shouldn’t be wandering around without protection.”

“No way! A favor this big? I have to repay it.”

It wasn’t often Sophia took interest in a man. No way she was letting him walk away that easily.

“I’ve actually got somewhere to be,” Karvel said. “An important auction. Maybe we’ll run into each other again sometime.”

Sophia’s eyes widened in surprise.

“An auction? Wait—you mean the one for the orphanage property?”

Karvel paused. “You know about that? You’re going too?”

“Yup. What a coincidence, huh?” she said with a playful glint in her eye. “Karvel, since you’re already playing hero tonight, maybe you’ll help me just a little more?”

He raised an eyebrow. “Help with what?”

“Well, as you can see, I don't have any guards now. And now that I’ve been targeted, I don’t exactly feel safe on my own.”

She looked at him with wide eyes, full of vulnerability. “So I’m hoping you’ll agree to stay by my side—for the next twenty-four hours. Just as a bodyguard.”

“Bodyguard, huh?” Karvel arched a brow. “Wouldn’t it be safer if you just laid low somewhere for a bit?”

“You don’t understand,” she said, shaking her head. “This auction is way too important. I have to attend. And if someone stirs up trouble there… Well, I’m just a weak little lady. I wouldn’t stand a chance. You wouldn’t want anything to happen to me, right?”

She blinked her dazzling eyes at him, putting on a look of helpless innocence.

Karvel hesitated for a moment... then sighed.

“Alright. I’ll go with you.”
