Trapped with the CEO

"Very well." Colin didn't really want to divorce her, either. So he readily agreed to her request.

They headed home together. When Sophia fetched her phone, she quickly dialed Cora's number. However, her phone was off.

With a mocking smile, Colin strode out of the room without turning his head, and didn't come back.

The next morning, Sophia called Cora again, but her phone was still off.

Sophia panicked. Why would Cora switch off her phone?

Sophia didn't know where Cora stayed in A Country, and their only communication was through the phone. As Cora had switched off her phone, there was no other way Sophia could reach out to her.

And if she couldn't find Cora, her relationship with Colin would end, too.

Sophia felt like she deserved what was happening to her. She had brought it on herself.

Sophia regretted what she had done. Colin had asked her why she was looking for a prostitute, but she chose to keep him out of her plan.

Later, Colin had also advised her to wait for him, and promised he would help her execute her revenge plan against Payne, but she was impatient.

What was more, Colin had also asked her to tell him her plan, so he could know what she had been up to.

But she didn't.

All these chances slipped away from her, because of her ignorance and simple oversight.

The bedroom door flew open behind her. Wendy walked in, and saw Sophia kneeling by the bed, face buried in the sheets.

Wendy was scared, and quickly walked up to her, "Sophia! Sophia? What happened!"

Hearing her voice, Sophia slowly turned to her, "I'm okay, mother."

Her face was pale, but there were no bruises or other wounds on it. Studying her closely, Wendy let out a sigh of relief, and urged, "Why are you kneeling on the floor? You can sit on your bed!"

But Sophia didn't get up. Crying, she hugged Wendy's legs, and said, "Mother, I've never cheated on Colin, but he doesn't believe me, though I deserve it. Colin wants to get a divorce. I don't blame him, but I don't want to divorce with him. Mom, could you help me...Talk to him, please...He will listen to you..."

She had never begged anyone before. But she would do anything for Colin's love, whatever the cost.

Hearing this, Wendy got the gist of what was going o

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.

“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.

Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...

do anything that you may regret!"

Hearing this, Colin flashed a sardonic smile. He lifted Sophia's chin with a finger, "You're more capable than I thought, Sophia Lo. What did you say to my mother? It seems she has believed it is my seed growing in your belly."

"It's yours." Sophia said, cringing her nose.

As Colin took his hand back, Sophia went to him, and helped him to lay down onto the bed.

But all of a sudden, she saw lipstick on his collar. Trembling, Sophia couldn't shift her gaze.

Colin noticed her behaviour. He had a quick look, and a touch of exasperation flashed on his face as he spoke, "What? You've already slept with you ex-boyfriend so many times. Can't I sleep with other women?"

Sophia remained quiet for a long while. Her heart ached as she asked, "Did you sleep with Maeve?"

Colin felt more agitated. Why did she think of that woman? But he nodded, "Yes, I did. And it is none of your business. I can sleep with whomever I want."

Sophia didn't say a word. She helped him remove his suit that smelt of alcohol and tobacco. But Colin grabbed her hand, "What? Are you trying to seduce me?"

Sophia remained quiet for a while, before she answered, "No, I'm not. I merely want to remove your coat."

Instantaneously, she was pressed down on the bed. Colin's face was so close to hers, "Don't touch me. You are a dirty whore."

When she heard these words, tears welled up in her eyes.

Colin gripped her neck, and warned, "Don't you dare cry, or I'll kill you."
