Chapter 50
Sophia had thought she could tolerate another man’s touch after Jason, but at this moment, she realized how naive she’d screamed at her to choose death over submission.

“Anyway, I’ve already set everything up. Once Luna gets the evidence of Ada’s crimes from the private investigator, she’ll certainly hand it over to Jason immediately. She despises Jason; she’d do anything that could cause him pain. With Luna handling what comes next, I can leave this world without regret. The torture of body and soul is too much. Forgive my weakness, but I can’t bear the pain any longer. I yearn for the release that comes with death, she thought.
More blood trickled from the corner of Sophia’s mouth as she closed her eyes, tears streaming silently down her cheeks. Jason, loving you is too painful, too much to bear. I never want to meet you again in my next life, she silently said.
George, detecting the pungent scent of blood, paused abruptly and turned to check on her. The sight of bright red startled him. “Damn, you tried to bite your tongue off. His eyes widened in shock.
At that moment, the door burst open as two figures charged in. “Sophia!” Oliver and Luna exclaimed in unison.
Oliver grabbed George, who was still pressing on Sophia, and punched him in the face.
Caught off guard, George attempted to retaliate but faltered as he recognized who it was. “Mr. Clark, what brings you here?” His voice trembled as he met Oliver’s cold
gaze.
Oliver, gripping George’s collar, demanded, “Is this how you handle negotiations for the Watson Group in Cester City?”
After a moment of shock, George regained his usual sullen demeanor and violently shook off Oliver’s arm, sneering. “You’re just a pathetic worm raised by the Watson family of Clumond City, but I’m the vice president of Watson Group’s Eekeind and Greland divisions. You’re in no position to lecture me
Oliver’s gaze briefly swept over Sophia, battered and bruised on the floor, his expression turning stern.
“Truc, I’m not in a position to lecture you, but I can ensure Mr. Watson hears of your actions. You know well enough he loathes such filthy deeds, he said to George.
Upon hearing this, George clenched his fists. He was well aware that the most trusted person by Roger, the head of the Watson Group, wasn’t his relatives but Oliver, the adopted son he had raised from childhood. To clash head–on with Oliver would be to shoot himself in the foot.
“You’re just embarrassing yourself with this act, Mr. Clark George leaned in close to whisper. “Don’t forget, it was your taunts that led Jason to hand his wife over to me. When it comes to being filthy, we’re cut from the same cloth
Oliver’s cyes shut tight as he spat out through gritted teeth, “Get lost.”
George chuckled coldly, his gaze lingering on Sophia’s pale face with an ominous gleam in his eyes. Til have my chance with her someday, he mused
After George left the room, Oliver quickly crouched beside Sophia. Seeing the continuous bleeding from her mouth, he said sternly, “She bit her tongue. We need to get her to the hospital”
Luna, cradling Sophia in her arms, cried out, “Foolish girl, have you no dignity? All this for a scumbag–is it worth it?”
Barely conscious, Sophia struggled to open her eyes at the sound of her friend’s voice. “Luna, don’t be afraid. I’ll be okay. But as she spoke, more blood poured out of her mouth
Oliver didn’t hesitate. He scooped Sophia up in his arms and rushed outside the room.
Just outside, Jason arrived in a hurry. go of her.
