Trapped with the CEO

"I'm not telling you!" Squirming out of Colin's arms, Sophia turned over and kissed him.

She wanted him to be satisfied with the kiss, and stop asking questions. What she would answer might upset him...

To her relief, her plan worked and Colin stopped asking.

Colin relented because he had sensed Sophia's unease. He decided to let her keep her secret.

"If I found evidence of the Pei Clan and Lien Clan's involvement in the crime, what would happen to Hugh and Patrick?" Sophia was worried for Patrick's wife, June, who had been very good to her.

Colin smiled. "Hugh and Patrick will be able to protect themselves. They have their own companies separate from the family business." After Colin's undermining, the Pei Group and Lien Group were on the verge of bankruptcy.

Although they appeared to be operating normally, Gregary Lien and Jonas Pei were desperately trying everything they could to prolong the survival of their companies. This was why Gregary was anxious to have Colin marry Dorothy.

But Patrick and Hugh had helped Colin in his revenge.

Hugh hated Jonas so much, that he believed death was too kind for his father. And Patrick didn't have much feelings for Gregary either. After all, he wasn't Patrick's birth father.

When Gregary and Marcella got married, Gregary found himself infertile. To sustain his power and influence, he adopted a baby from an orphanage in secret.

But years later, Marcella got pregnant. She gave birth to their daughter, Dorothy. Since Dorothy's birth, she had been cherished by couple. Her every whim would be catered to by their parents.

In the beginning, Patrick wanted to get along with her for his foster parents. But after hearing of Dorothy's deeds, especially what she had done to Sophia, Patrick was deeply disappointed. With time, his indifference grew, until he completely ignored her in the end.

"Really? No wonder Hugh has told me that I could do whatever I wanted to in the company. He also assured me that he would come to my aid if I got myself into trouble." She hadn't known that Hugh had his own company.

Frowning at her words, Colin locked Sophia into his arms. Burned by jealousy, he blurted out, "Hugh's parents are your mother's murderers. Although you two are good

“Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!”

Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.

“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"

They had done the same thing in the same room...

"What if I say it doesn't count? Would you compensate me again?"

"Not in your dreams!" Sophia pecked him on his lips and jumped off the bed.

Suddenly, she was pulled backwards. Colin pressed her down into the bed and kissed her deeply.

A few minutes later, they parted. Colin panted as he spoke to the flushed Sophia, "That's what compensation should be like."

Suddenly, Ambrose rolled over and turned his face towards them. His eyes were still closed. Sophia froze and looked at him. After assuring that Ambrose was still asleep, she pulled Colin off her. "Stop it. I need to get up. You can hold Ambrose for me and sleep for a while."

At 7 o'clock, Sophia set breakfast on the table and went to wake them up.

When she returned to the bedroom, Colin had already gone to the bathroom to wash his face. Ambrose looked adorable as he sat on the bed in a daze. Having just gotten up, he looked at the surroundings in confusion, hair shaggy and messy from sleeping.

Sophia picked him up. "Brody, you're awake!"

Seeing Sophia, Ambrose remembered that he had slept over the night before. He was in Sophia's home, and they slept together last night. "Good morning, Aunt Sophia!"

Giving Sophia a big hug, Ambrose kissed her cheek.

"Morning, Brody. Do you want to use the bathroom?" During her past two visits to the Li Clan, she learned that the boy had the habit of using the bathroom after waking up in the morning.

"Yes, please!"
