Sophia already suffered from wounds on her forehead and her back, but Leah was now stepping on her face where her toe was on Sophiaâs forehead wound whereas the heel of her high heel was on her eyeball. The pain that shot through her eyeball was so immense that Sophia could not stop shaking.
Seeing her like this, Leah laughed out happily. âDoes it hurt?â
As she spoke, she rubbed her foot on Sophiaâs face, and the pain on Sophiaâs face increased. âEvery time I see you and Charles gloating about your love affair, my heart aches more than whatever pain youâre feeling now.â
The White siblings were no match for her.
However, Charles was too biased. He stood on Sophiaâs side and helped them scheme against her, and now, she was the most hated person in town, just like a rat that would be killed when it ran across the streets. She did not even have a place to live, nor did she have the means to support herself, yet he never even gave her a call!
If it was not for Sophia, things would not have turned out this way!
Sophiaâs eyes were hurting so much she could not help crying, and tears rolled down her face along with the blood, dripping into her mouth and leaving a strong, nauseating metallic taste of blood in her mouth.
Her internal organs ached and her lower abdomen felt unusually bloated. The only warmth she felt on her body was the blood that rushed out from her mouth, flowing along the corner of her mouth and down her chin.
Leah had feelings for Charles, and that was the only reason she befriended Sophia. Not only had Leah framed her for murder and harmed her over and over again, Leah was now killing her baby!
Sophia mustered all the remaining strength in her body and forced herself to lift her head up. Then, she bit Leahâs calf through the thin piece of stocking and tried to tear a piece of flesh off.
Her baby!
Give her baby back!
Leah frowned from the pain and instantly kicked Sophia away to check the injury on her calf.
Sophia rolled away from the strong force but still kept a resentful glare on Leah.
She was worried that she might drop dead the very next second and forgot how this b*tch looked like!
âDo you hate me?â Leah checked her wound and was not too concerned. Instead, she smiled and continued, âWell, it doesnât matter how much you hate me anymore. If I donât get to be with Charles, why should you?â
âI really canât understand Charles and my brotherâs taste in women, to think that they actually fell for you! One gave up the Harris familyâs shares for you and the other one threw away his sister for you. Do men just like idiots like you?â
She really could not wrap her head around this. She was obviously the one better matched for Charles in all aspects, and she loved him so much, so why did he choose Sophia over her?
Was Sophia capable of helping him?
No, she was only a burden!
If she could not get the man she wanted, nobody else could. At least then, she would feel much better.
âI wish we had more time to talk but weâre in the middle of the road and I really donât want to be seen.â Leah kicked Sophiaâs face a few more times before she crouched down and began dragging Sophia across the ground.
Sophia had lost all strength to speak, nor was she able to move her body. When Leah squatted down, she vomited a mouthful of blood at Leah.
What had she done to deserve this ruthless and malicious wolf dressed in sheepâs clothing?!
Leah was unbothered. She simply wiped away the blood on her and dragged Sophia into the car. âWell, everything started from a car accident so we have come full cycle now by ending everything with a car accident. Oh, thereâs a bomb in the car that will explode in five minutes.â
She gave Sophia a small smile, and just like when they were still friends, she reached out to hug Sophia. âGoodbye now, Sophia. I hope we would still be friends in another lifetime, but letâs just not fall for the same guy anymore, okay?â
With that, she let go of Sophia and closed the car door behind her. Then, she walked away without another glance.
Inside the confined space, there was only the sound of the ticking bomb and Sophiaâs heavy, yet slow breathing.
She was slumped on the driverâs seat, and due to how much blood she had lost, her head was pounding. Perhaps it was the fact that she might have broken a rib, she felt pain between her lower abdomen and below her chest with every breath she took.
God was truly good at making fun of people. When she desperately wanted to die, she could not die, but now that she wanted to live, her life was about to be taken away...
Leah had said that the bomb would go off in five minutes, but Sophia refused to give up and die like this.
She struggled to keep her eyes open and suppressed the pain that shot through her chest as she slowly reached out for the car door, but every time she tried to do so, she failed ââ she was too weak now.
Tick!
Tick!
Tick!
Every tick struck Sophiaâs heart greatly. The pressure on her both mentally and physically made it almost impossible to breathe.
However, she would not... She would not die, nor was she willing to die like this!
She wanted Leah and Sylvia to pay for her babyâs death! She wanted... to spend the rest of her life with Charles.
Click!
Just when Sophia felt that she was no longer able to hold herself, she finally opened the door after what felt like forever.
Her vision was blurred by the blood around her eyes, and she panted heavily as her hands searched for the ground and she gritted her teeth while crawling out of the car.
She would not die like this! She must live!
Boom!
Just as Sophia managed to heave her upper body out of the car and was close to getting out of the car, the digits on the bomb turned 00:00.
The car burst into flames in an instant.

At the White family manor.
Sterling had also been deliberately avoiding Nicole recently. He would keep himself busy with company affairs during the day and go to sleep the second he got home at night. This was how he convinced himself to forget about all those unpleasant things that had happened.
However, they did happen, and no matter how you refuse to acknowledge it, it would only linger in the air. Even if you did not want to admit it, you could not deny its existence.
Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!
âMommy, whereâs your right hand?â
âEh, itâs gone!â
The twins were running around Nicole in the living room, tugging on her empty sleeve trying to search for her missing right arm.
They just thought Nicole was playing games with them and they were grinning ear to ear.
Sterlingâs heart ached when he heard this exchange. He hugged his two innocent children and told them off gently not to talk about Nicoleâs right arm before asking the maid to take them up to bed.
âTheyâre still young, just let them ask their questions,â Nicole said with a smile, âEven if they donât talk about it, other people would. We just need to get used to it sooner or later.â
Sterling was immediately ticked off and he stood up. âIâll kill whoever who dares to talk about you!â
âYouâre already an adult, how can you still act like a child? People are just talking about the truth, are they not even allowed to do that?â Did he intend on beating up every single person who called her disabled when they were out in the streets?
Sterling clenched his fists and removed his tie in annoyance before throwing it aside.
Whatever company affairs, business socializing, and grievances could go to h*ll! He just wanted to go back to the days where life was simple two years ago! Was that too much to ask for?
As hard as she tried, Nicole could not help but ask, âWhereâs Soph? Why didnât she come back with you? Iâm sure Mr. Harris has a lot of things to deal with so he should only be able to go home quite late tonight. Is it safe for her to stay at Bamboo Virtues Village alone?â
Sterling quickly glanced at Nicoleâs empty right sleeve and his mouth opened several times to answer her, but he said nothing in the end.
âSoph thinks itâs her fault that I lost an arm, so she doesnât want to see me?â Nicole immediately guessed it after seeing his small action.
Sterling mumbled a vague response, clearly frustrated.
This was what Sophâs bodyguard told him.
