Chapter 447 Sophias face grew larger in Orsons field of vision as she approached , and a cold chill ran down his spine Who the hell did I offend ? Orson shouted , his voice liced with shock and disbelief .
His hands trembled as they gripped the steering wheel , and before he could even think his foot slammed on the gas .
The Bentley surged forward without hesitation , crashing into the woman who had just gotten close to his car .
There was a sickening thud , and Sophia si framed in agony .
She had been standing by the side of the car , and the luxury vehicle hit her from the side , knocking her off balance She staggered , trying to regain her footing , but Orson didnt even flinch .
He sped away without a second glance , leaving her stunned and sprawled on the ground Her frustration , which had been simmering under the surface , boiled over once again .
Just moments ago , she had been released from police custody , only to find that no one had come to pick her up .
The anger and humiliation of it all kept bubbling up inside her .
She had just been released from the station , and yet here she was , alone in the dead of night .
As she walked down the street , she spotted a luxury car parked at a corner .
The license plate caught her eye , and she couldnt help but recognize it -the Lark familys car .
When she peered closer , she saw him .
Orson .
Sophs heart raced .
She had been trying so hard to track him down , and now , by sheer coincidence , she had stumbled upon him in the street .
Was this fate ! Was she about to hit the jackpot ? If she could get close to him , maybe , just maybe , she could marry into a wealthy family .
That would solve everything no more scheming with Finnian , no more struggles .
But to her surprise , the moment she got close , Orson didnt even hesitate .
He slammed the car into her , knocking her aside , and then sped off , not even stopping to check if she was alright .
Sophia lay there , stunned and humiliated , as the realization set in .
She had been crushed once more , her hopes dashed in an instant .
Orson you actually hit me ? Why ? What did I do to deserve this ? Why is everyone targeting me ? she whispered bitterly , tears welling up in her For a brief moment , she felt utterly lost , abandoned by everything she had ever known .
She had been saved by someone after her arrest , but who had helped her ! She had no idea .
The Bennett family certainly didnt care .
It was as if they had thrown her away , like a discarded object .
She no longer had any desire to return to the Bennett Group , but without them , she had nowhere to turn .
The thought of facing Hannahs cold .
hateful gaze made her teeth grind in frustration .
I cant just give up .
The Bennett family raised me .
How could I just leave ? They owe me ? Sophia munered to herself , determination slowly growing in her chest Despite the pain in her body , she refused to be beaten .
She pushed herself to her feet , gritting her teeth against the ache .
Just as she managed to rise , a figure suddenly emerged from the shadows , blocking her way .
Who ? Sophia gasped , eyes wide in shock , and instinctively stepped back .
Finnian stood before her , his face twisted into a menacing grin , and his eyes gleamed with malice .
Sophia shivered as memories of the hospital flashed before her eyes Finnian and Windsors presence , the tense encounter that had left her shaken .
Finnian ? she asked , her voice trembling .
She felt a chill creep down her spine .
Finnlans is expression was anything but human .
He looked like a predator , and she was the prey .
Before she could react , he lunged at her , grabbing her hair and dragging her closer .
With a sickening slap , he struck her across the face , sending her sprawling onto the ground .
Her body was dragged further by her hair , and she scrambled desperately to grab hold of any plant or rock within reach .
1/3 12.04 PM Chapter 417 Mud and dirt caked her hands and clothes , the jagged soil tearing at her nails .
Her face , once flawless , was now smeared with dirt .
Sophias mind spun her despair deepening as she realized the emptiness of the street .
There were no people around , no passing cars just the cold , dark night Help ! Someone , please ! Im being attacked ! Help ! she screamed , her voice hoarse and desperate .
But in her heart , she knew that Finnian wasnt going to let her go .
He was far too angry , far too vengeful .
Her mind flashed back to the time when she had used the Love Spell on him , how she had tried to sabotage him on the variety show , watching his popularity plummet .
That was something he would never forgive Shut up Finnian barked kicking her in the ribs , Sophias face was pressed into the dirt , her soft skin scraping against the rough ground .
She moaned in pain , unable to hold back the tears .
You think Im just going to let you scream ! Finnian snarled , his foot digging into her side , crushing her .
You think you can escape this ? After everything you did to me ? Why ! Finnian , I didnt do anything to you .
Why are you doing this to me ? she gasped , panic rising in her voice .
Shut up ! Finnian growled , his face twisted in anger .
He stood above her , staring down at her battered face with a twisted sense of satisfaction .
There was something perversely enjoyable in seeing her suffering .
It gave him a rush power , control .
How does it feel : Painful , huh ? Finnian said , his voice low and dark .
But its nothing compared to the pain you caused me .
You took everything from me .
You ruined my life .
You used me , tricked me with that damn Love Spell , and now look where I am .
Ive got nothing left .
Youve destroyed me , made me a shadow of who I was I was once the young master of the Lark family .
Even if I was a bastard , I was still someone .
Now , because of you , Im nothing .
Im hunted like an animal .
All of this is because of you .
Sophias body trembled in fear , her eyes wide with terror .
The man before her was no longer the Finnian she had once known this was a monster , a deranged man seeking revenge .
I didnt ⦠I didnt do it .
It wasnt me .
It was Odalys , she gasped , trying to deflect the blame .
Shes the one who cursed us .
Shes the one who did all of this .
If you kill her , everything will go back to normal .
Well both be free , I promise .
Finnians expression darkened further .
He knew better now than to trust her .
He had seen Odalyss power firsthand .
Should I pop your eye out , Sophia ? he said , his voice dripping with malice .
If I blind you , you think the Bennett family will ever take you back ? Do you think your fans will still love you if they know you cant see ? They wont care about a blind star The toothpick pressed dangerously close to her eye , and Sophias body went rigid , paralyzed with fear .
Without warning , he grabbed a toothpick from his pocket , holding it up to her eye .
No , please , dont .
Ill do anything .
Just dont hurt me ! she begged , her voice trembling with terror .
Tears streamed down her face as she pleaded for her life .
She had always looked down on Finnian , never imagining that right after being released from the police station , she would run into him on the street .
What were the odds ? Yet , here he was , in front of her.
Sophia suspected that he had been secretly following her , or that the person who had bailed her out was him .
Could it be ? If she had something he wanted , maybe she could use him to escape again .
But one thing was certain she would never compromise with someone like him .
I could let you go , but you have to tell me where I can buy Love Spell , Finnian gritted through his teeth .
e .
He was already a dead man The words Odalys had said to him echoed in his mind.
His only chance for survival now was to find Love Spell and take back his luck .
If Sophia kept draining it , he would die .
walking , and now , he had nothing left to lose .
