Goodbye My Wretched Love! By Dolly Molly Novel Chapter 11-20
Goodbye My Wretched Love!
Chapter 11
Sofiaâs gaze remained fixed on Finleyâs intense, piercing eyes. Her heart began to race, and she found it difficult to catch her breath.
Finley clenched his jaw and shook his head. âI told you to apologize, Sofia. I wanted you to make amends with Ellie for what you did wrong.â
âIt seems to me that you deserved to have your hand mutilated.â
âAre you deaf? I want to hear you say sorry!â
Finleyâs low, venomous tone was equivalent to his yelling.
Sofia closed her eyes in pain. His fingers gripping her wrist were digging into her skin.
She backed away, and Finley released his grip. Straightening her posture, Sofia approached Mr. Baker and Mr. Richmond.
Finleyâs face turned w**e, and his eyes narrowed.
The two felt an overwhelming sense of embarrassment. They had once been close friends with Robert, and the current situation had put them in an extremely uncomfortable position. They had weighed their options and chose to sit on the sidelines as the Campbells were ruined.
They looked back and were happy with the decision they
made three years ago, and it was a good thing they didnât

help the Campbells, or else they would have offended Finley â which would have been worse.
They knew that Finley hated the Campbells and that he viewed all of them as gluttonous pigs.
The Stewarts and the Sanchezes couldnât acquire all of Campbellâs assets at once, so they divided the biggest ones. to give to smaller companies.
They rode on the Stewarâs desire to destroy the Campbells and sold the assets they were given during their crisis. Then, Baker and Walter shorted their stocks, eventually making a bigger profit.
But seeing Sofia made them uncomfortable. How had she offended Finley Stewart? Obviously, it wasnât their fault.
Mr. Baker looked at Sofia as she approached him, and he laughed heartily.
âHello, Sofie! I havenât seen you for three years. Let me pour you a drink!â
Sofia was just about to pour him a glass, but Mr. Baker interrupted her.
Mr. Richmond instantly understood the situation and sent the waiter to fetch extra-large glasses.
âAnd a couple of bottles of whiskey!â
Sofiaâs heart started to race. She couldnât drink alcohol, let alone strong ones. Her stomach simply couldnât stand it.
She pleaded with Mr. Baker, hoping that he respected her

She had just gotten out of the hospital and really couldnât drink anymore. If she did, Sofia would d*e.
Sofia was f**ed with a difficult choice. If she refused to drink, she would have to apologize to Finley and Ellie, something she was determined not to do. She didnât do anything wrong and would never say sorry to the woman who had framed her. Sofia would rather d*e.
Mr. Baker smiled as he eagerly popped open the cork and poured the spirits into a large glass.
âCome on, Sofie! Have a drink with your Uncle Baker and Uncle Richmond!â
Sofia raised her glass with difficulty, her hand shaking. terribly, and met the menâs cruel smiles. She knew she was delusional. For three whole years, they hadnât helped the Campbells and had fallen into corruption. They wouldnât dare disobey Finley. Helping her wouldnât bring them any profit.
So, they would torture her. Probably just to please Finley.
Sofia took a deep breath, held the glass of whiskey to her lips, and tilted her head.
She coughed, sputtered, and almost choked.
Sofia couldnât drink it. But Mr. Baker sneered and grabbed Sofiaâs neck, holding the glass and pouring more into her glass.

Paralyzed, Sofia felt enveloped in Mr. Bakerâs embrace and heard his cruel laugh. âMs. Campbell, youâre such a beaut!â
From Finleyâs perspective, it seemed like Sofia was happily leaning into Mr. Bakerâs arms, and the veins on his forehead started to bulge.
It twisted his nerves to know that she would rather throw herself at another man than apologize to him.
Meanwhile, Sofiaâs stomach roiled, the cramps making her want to vomit. Her face was w**e as a sheet, and she looked up helplessly at Mr. Baker.
Mr. Baker, however, laughed. âSince Mr. Stewart wants you. too, Iâll let you kiss me.â
Mr. Richmond smiled at him as if it was their gift to Sofia to let her kiss the two old men.
In their minds, by humiliating Sofia, they believed they could gain a higher favor from Finley, and they saw it as a beneficial trade-off. Besides, it was Sofiaâs own fault for the situation she found herself in
Sofia laughed bitterly. Her family had taught her to maintain dignity, but she had none left.
So, she slowly lifted her head and stood on tiptoe, ready to come up to Mr. Bakerâs cheek.
Suddenly a strong hand ripped her away, and she finally met. Finleyâs icy gaze.
âAmazing. I canât believe youâre that petty.â
Chapter 11
Finley was so enraged that he dragged her away from Mr. Baker and slapped her hard.
His hand was heavy, and Sofia knew that her face would be swollen the next day. Her lips split, and she tasted the iron. tang of blood.
Sofia fixed her gaze on him and laughed out loud. Her smile was pale and terrible.
âYouâre right, Mr. Stewart. Iâm a real bitch, no doubt! You offered to pay me if I kissed Mr. Baker and Mr. Richmond. If you double your price, I can take both of them in bed at the same time!â
Finleyâs body trembled as he placed two hands around Sofiaâ s throat, squeezing. Her two hands clutched his wrist in a death grip, and Finley smiled menacingly.
The two menâs faces turned pale, their expressions shifting from arrogance to panic. They watched the scene in front of them and sat frozen in their seats.
Finley wanted to strangle her, but Sofia just clenched her jaw and looked at him with an emotionless expression.
âYou like money, huh? Iâll give you something to work for!â
Finley suddenly stepped forward and swept her into hist arms. He kicked open the door and strode outside.
The room fell into stunned silence as everyone watched in disbelief. The image of the composed and collected Mr. Stewart was shattered, replaced by a man consumed by

uncontrollable rage.

He carried Sofia into the elevator and rode up to the top floor. It was his special room. It took up almost the entire top floor of The Charming Bar.
Justin was busy trying to keep up with him, only to have Finley yell at him to get lost.
He stayed outside the elevator doors and watched as his boss carry a woman to his room.
Meroy was also alarmed and rushed over.
âWhatâs going on here?â
Justin made a helpless noise. âI think heâs gone crazy.â
Finleyâs long strides agitated Sofiaâs stomach. Her face turned paler by the minute, the whiskey she drank burning every inch of her organs.
She was carried into the bedroom, and she noticed it was black and w**e, mirroring the cold and heartless man hel
was.
Finley threw Sofia straight onto the bed, took out his wallet, and dumped its contents on Sofiaâs face and body.
âIâll give you money! Hereâs everything I have!â
Finley then straddled her and ripped Sofiaâs clothes off.
Sofia suddenly threw up the whiskey she drank and vomited the blood that was settling in her stomach.

Finley tugged at her clothes and let go of her hands, his lost. sanity finally returning.
âYouâ¦threw up blood,â Finley said, sounding a bit panicked.
Sofia, her body shaking, forcibly pushed him away, stumbled out of bed, and rushed into the bathroom. She plopped in front of the toilet and vomited some more, her whole body on the verge of collapsing.
As Finley stormed towards the bathroom, Sofia looked at him in horror and started to scream.
âFinley! Youâre sick, youâre dis***ng! You-â
Suddenly, spots swam in her vision, and everything went black. She passed out, and all Finley could hear were the echoes of her screams.
Chapter 12
Finley rushed into the bathroom and cautiously picked up Sofia, who had fainted on the cold floor.
A touch of surprise graced his expression. How was she so light?
Itâs not like he hadnât held her before. Back then, she still weighed like an average woman. But now it was like holding a bag of feathers.
Finley settled down and carried her to the sofa in the other room. Sofia had soiled the entire bed with her blood.
He pulled out his phone and dialed Justin.
âMr. Stewart?â
Justin didnât dare leave his post and waited at the elevator doors.
âHave Dr. Paul come over to my room. Someone passed out.â
Justin was silent for a moment, but he quickly recovered and called Dr. Paul to examine someone at the Charming Bar. Ending the call, Justin shook his head and smiled bitterly. His boss was just too cruel.
How long did it take for that woman to faint in his clutches?
Finley asked Meroy to have room service clean the master bedroom, and soon after Dr. Paul arrived with a medical kit..

Everyone who worked under Finley understood his nature, including Dr. Paul. He had been Finleyâs personal physician. for a few years. He was a tall, well-kept man in his late twenties. Yet, Dr. Paul was already a well-known medical doctor.
Compared to Justinâs nervousness, he always kept a calm and demure demeanor.
âMr. Stewart,â Paul greeted as he walked in carrying his suitcase.
Finley nodded to the sofa in the living room and ran a hand through his hair. âThe patient is in there.â
Paul raised a surprised brow. Never had he seen Finley so panicked. Before his heart condition was diagnosed, Finley was known for his calm demeanor. So, who was this person that unsettled the typically composed Mr. Stewart?
Curious, Dr. Paul walked into the living room and almost dropped the suitcase case in his hand when he saw the woman lying on the sofa.
Was that Sofia?
What happened to her? Why was her dress in tatters?
âGo on! Find out whatâs wrong with her!â Finleyâs expression turned grim.
Paul didnât dare delay, and he crouched in front of Sofia. After a few moments, he looked up at Finley, who was pacing anxiously behind him.

âMr. Stewart, please step out for a moment.â

The pacing was interfering with Dr. Paulâs ability to focus. At his request, Finley inhaled a sharp breath and walked out of the living room to gaze at the city skyline from his French. windows.
His heart was beating rapidly, his irritability unable to be suppressed. It made him itch for something to do, anything to keep him from thinking about the woman in the living
room.
Finley clenched the cigarette between his long fingers,
rolling and rubbing it nervously as time seemed to come to a standstill.
After a few minutes of torture, Paul came out of the room.
âWell?â Finley turned to look at the doctor.
Paulâs face displayed a mix of shock and concern as he turned to Finley and spoke, his lips moving slowly.
âMr. Stewart, Miss Campbell is in a fragile state. I have administered an IV to her, and she should be able to rest peacefully for a while. However, I highly recommend taking her to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.â
Finleyâs brows furrowed in confusion as he responded, âWhat are you trying to say?â
Paul felt a little wary about the man standing opposite to him.
âMiss Campbell has experienced significant gastrointestinal

bleeding and will require hospitalization for a period of time to recover,â Paul explained. âSheâs also been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, compromised lung function, and her heart condition isnât stable.â
Finleyâs expression turned even more grave as he absorbed. the information. âWas sheâ¦was she abused?â
Paul didnât answer that question.
Paul could sense that Finley was especially concerned for Sofia. Otherwise, he wouldnât have allowed her to be present in this place. It was a known fact that Finley never brought women here, not even Miss Grey, who was on the verge of getting engaged to him.
Now that there was a woman here, and Finley seemed to care for her, Dr. Paul didnât want to keep anything from him.
âAnswer me, Doctor.â The cigarette Finley was holding dropped to the ground as he stomped out its flames.
âThe extent of her injuries is quite severe,â the doctor explained cautiously to Finley. âHer vocal cords have been severely damaged as if someone forcefully made her swallow something toxic. Also, she has numerous wounds all over her body, with the ones on her face being the most visible. It seems that she has suffered from a combination of old and new wounds, which indicates a history of abuse.â
âIt seems like she was cut with a sharp object often, and some of her wounds are deep.â
Paulâs tone was kept lowered and cautious as he gazed at Finleyâs handsome yet darkened features.

He suddenly didnât dare say anything else. However, during the examination of Sofiaâs body, the doctor also noticed a h***tal scar on her lower abdomen, resembling a
cesarean section scar. Upon closer inspection, the doctor found the cut unusually large and inconsistent with typical C-section scars.
At that moment, Finley couldnât bear to continue discussing the physical traumas any further. Dr. Paul decided to respect Sofiaâs privacy and opted to ask her about it discreetly later on. Recently, Justin mentioned that Mr. Stewart became emotionally unstable due to this woman, and there were concerns that discussing her injuries might further exacerbate his condition.
âI understand.â Finley took a deep breath, his brows knitted, indicating he was deep in thought.
He may have sent her to prison, but he never intended for anyone to harm her. What did she endure during those three. years of confinement?
He and Sofia knew it was over that day, and they would share no future together. Finley had thrown her into her cell and avoided news related to her like the plague. He wanted to forget her, thinking that three years was enough to forget
someone.
But he didnât expect that Sofia would be abused in prison.
He had ruined her family but didnât kill her.
But who had given her those scars?
Finleyâs panic surged as he subconsciously glanced at the

woman lying on the bed in the inner room. He couldnât help but wonder if she believed he was responsible for her
suffering.
Paul excused himself and left the room.
As Finley approached Sofia, who lay there pale and curled up like an abandoned kitten, a sharp pain pierced his heart. He instinctively clutched his chest, recalling the injury he had sustained during his underground boxing days. The strenuous exertion during that time had caused a minor issue with his heart, leading him to quit drinking and smoking.
These last few days, he had been drinking and smoking intensely, causing his heart problems to flare up.
The smoking probably kept his heart from aching for this Campbell woman.
Finley m***y psyched himself up and slowly raised a hand to touch her face.
He carefully tucked Sofiaâs hair behind her ear, revealing the shocking scar on her face that looked like was caused by a knife.
Finleyâs eyes turned cold as his fingertips grazed the scar, but he quickly withdrew them as if they had been burned.
He then turned and sat on the other side of the sofa, watching the sky darken, did not turn on the lights as he fixated on looking at Sofiaâs thin silhouette.
After a few hours, the medication Paul used kicked in, and

Sofia woke up disorientated as she realized she was on a sofa.
The room was dimly lit, with only a wall light casting a soft glow. Sofia wondered about the time and whether Daisy had finished work yet. But her vision cleared, and she jumped, startled at the man sitting on the couch across from her.
Half of his handsome features remained hidden in the shadows. It felt as if he were a predator lurking in the dark, ready to pounce and unleash himself on her.
Sofia quickly sat up, pulling off the IV from the back of her hand, wincing as the needle moved inside her skin.
âLie back down if you donât want to die.â Finley got up and strutted over to her, grabbing her fidgeting hands, his voice so cold it made Sofia shiver.
What did Finley want to do with her?
He could have beaten her up or mutilated her other hand, but he actually wanted toâ¦
Finley had almost raped her. Sofia didnât dare try to stay in the wolfâs den and decided to keep pulling the needle out the back of her hand.
Chapter 13
Sofia tried to break away from Finleyâs clutches, but his grip was so tight that it almost broke her wrist.
She didnât want to stay here for another moment, especially since she was alone with the man in front of her. Blood oozed from the needleâs tip and dripped onto the back of her hand, and Finley let go of her, his eyes narrowed.
âSofia, donât think that you can manipulate me into letting you go with that pitiful face. I was ready to let you go three years ago, but I didnât expect you to keep up with your childish antics and come back to me. Donât you think itâs ridiculous to try to play hard-to-get?â
Sofiaâs jaw slackened, and she looked incredulously at Finley.
He thought she was trying to seduce him?
She laughed bitterly. Avoiding him was futile, but how could he think she was playing hard to get?
She took a deep breath, her head feeling like it was about to split open, and slowly moved off the sofa, simply ignoring Finley and his ridiculous words.
Sofia brushed against him on her way to the door and hadnât gone more than a few steps when Finley pulled her back, forcing her to face him.
This time, Finley exerted his strength, his fury apparent. Sofia was forced to sit on his knee as Finley tipped her chin

to force her to look at him.

Those eyes of hers were beautiful, only they no longer had the lovely spirit they had before and looked gray and desperate.
Finley exhaled a breath and leaned into Sofiaâs ear. There were words that he didnât want to say, but he still said them. This woman had driven him crazy.
âDo you hate me that much?â
Sofia looked steadily at the cold, unfeeling face in front of her and didnât reply.
Finley sneered. âItâs been three years, and you havenât matured a bit. You can hate me if you want to,â He said through gritted teeth, holding Sofiaâs jaw. âBut it was your father who killed my family. You are paying for his actions.â
Sofia was surprised. When Finley sent her to prison three years ago, she knew her family regretted their actions towards the Stewarts, but she didnât know the reasons behind it.
Now, Finley had revealed that her father had killed his family. Her mind was rattled, and she felt a profound sense of helplessness.
If he had told her that three years ago, she might have been heartbroken, but now she felt numb.
Sofia locked eyes with Finley. âIâve heard Daisy sayâ¦â
Finley raised an eyebrow, not understanding how she was

âI was already in jail when Daisy told me about it. She visited me from time to time,â Sofia clarified. âMy dad jumped from the twenty-eighth floor, and the coroners were appalled by the body. Daisy said that the clean-up crew had a hard time and used shovels to scoop up his remains.â
Finleyâs demeanor changed at her words.
Sofia seemed like she was talking about a stranger. The tone of her voice was deadpan, and it bothered Finley, a man who was known for his indifference and lack of sympathy.
âDaisy later gave me my fatherâs ashes. It was such a small box that I wondered what part of him was actually cremated.â
âHe was a renowned businessman in New York for more than twenty years, and when he was alive, everyone honored him as The Mr. Campbell. But he ended up as a bloodstain on the pavement. So even if you still think that the
Campbells owe you, youâre wrong. My father has paid you back.â
âHahahaâ¦.â Sofia suddenly laughed out loud, revealing her first heartfelt smile since she got out of prison, but it made Finleyâs heart pound.
Sofia slowly raised her hand and caressed Finleyâs furrowed brows. It had been three years, but his face was still the
same.
âFinleyâ¦you were never really in love with me, right?â

Finley felt his breath shorten, his hand trembling at his side. The bright smile on Sofiaâs scarred face made him feel a sense of unease, almost fear.
This was the real Sofia, the Sofia he once knew, instead of the broken girl who had knelt at his feet.
Sofia Campbell was proud at heart. But this time, her pride was becoming Finleyâs fatal attraction.
He stopped breathing.
Sofiaâs cold fingers cupped his cheek as she whispered, âFinley, I want to thank you for the first encounter we had seven years ago and the four years we spent acting as a couple. I also want to thank you for showing me the true meaning of cruelty.â
âYouâre right. I do hate you. Iâd rather sleep with every man in the world than stay with you for a moment. But I didnât expect that you would actually love me.â
Finley was stung hard by Sofiaâs laughter and gritted hist teeth. âYou have a death sentence, Sofia.â
He leaned down, pulled her entire body towards him, and fiercely kissed her lips. He was in a thick web of punishment, self-blame, and hatred that seemed impossible to escape from.
Sofia desperately pushed him away, and he ripped her dress open, sinking his teeth in her collarbone, tasting blood.
Sofia laughed so hard she couldnât breathe, and Finley couldnât do it anymore. Even though he desired her right

âGet out!â Finley grabbed Sofia, dragged her to the door, and forcefully pushed her out.
The door slammed shut with a resounding thud, separating Finley and Sofiaâs two different worlds.
Sofia held onto the wall, panting and gasping for hair, her eyes dancing with mockery.
She knew how proud Finley was and that this was the only way to get rid of him. She would shatter Finleyâs pride and make him utterly repulsed by her. He would never want to touch her again.
When they were both studying abroad, she had met Finley at an off-campus event. It was as if fate had struck her. He had been the only other American in their class, and it made her feel less alone in a foreign country.
One way or another, he lured her into his trap, and she was caught in his web, unable to escape.
Ironically, the one who set the trap ended up getting entangled in the web of love themselves.
Sofia clutched her cramping stomach, hunching over as she kept laughing. Her state lasted for a while until she finally calmed down.
Sofia had offended Finley to the extreme, likely leading to his desire to remove her from his life. Despite that, she couldnât help but feel a pang of regret, considering the potential impact it might have on Daisy.

Sofia found herself unsure of where she could find employment after leaving Charming Bar alongside Daisy.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps and the distinct noise of high heels echoed from the direction of the elevator.
A woman was coming to Finleyâs room. It surprised her since Finley wasnât a man who kept many women around.
Feeling the need to avoid being seen by others in her current state, Sofia quickly lowered her head and pressed herself against the wall, intending to make a discreet exit. But, a pretty figure stopped Sofia in her tracks.
âItâs youâ¦â
She noticed distinct silver half-heeled Mary Janes adorned with rhinestones, accompanied by the gentle swish of a silk light blue dress. The dress, though subtly designed, exuded an air of elegance with its luxurious material and graceful drape.
The woman had long hair adorned with a simple four-leaf clover hairpin on the side. Sofia noticed that the hairpins had a few diamonds on them, and she could only guess that they were worth a thousand each.
The outfit was similar to how Sofia dressed before she was imprisoned. It exuded intellect and beauty but also made her look pure and innocent.
But it was Ellie who wore the dress, and it caught Sofia off guard.

Ellie wasnât in a wheelchair this time and deliberately dressed like Sofia. She stared at her, looking at that young, lovely face turning pale and ugly with resentment.
It seemed like Bella had told Ellie the news about Sofiaâs release and her employment at Finleyâs Charming Bar.
As Ellie arrived at the Charming Bar with the intention of seeking out Finley, she was taken aback to find Justin, Finleyâs assistant, stationed nearby. The expression on Justinâs face hinted at the presence of another woman in Finleyâs room.
She was heartbroken for a moment since Ellie was supposed to be engaged to him soon. But she wanted to see what kind of woman would catch Finleyâs eyes. Turns out it was none other than Sofia Campbell.
âSofia, what were you doing in Finleyâs room?â Ellie grabbed Sofiaâs arm, digging her fingernails into her skin. Her eyes landed on Sofiaâs torn dress.
Finley had ripped the fabric to shreds and had bitten her collarbone. All of his cruel intentions were made clear.
But Sofiaâs appearance made Ellieâs heart sink into the abyss. Her eyes narrowed with murderous intent.
Chapter 14
Sofiaâs current state made Ellie hysterical. She looked at her swollen, red lips, her ripped dress, and the bite mark on her collarbone that had broken the skin, teeth marks apparent.
Ellie drew a sharp breath, this woman was a nightmare that she could never forget.
Ellie and Finley had known each other for a long time, and although Finley had cared for her as if she were his own sister, she had never treated him as her brother.
She loved him, but he had no feelings for her.
However, Ellie was well aware that Finley did not have any girlfriends. She knew that he had orchestrated a trap for the Campbell family, and Sofia had been the entry point for his plan.
Ellie reassured herself countless times that Finley was just using her as a tool for revenge and that she had nothing to be jealous of.
However, Ellie couldnât help but notice the growing
complexity in Finleyâs eyes whenever he looked at Sofia. She saw the genuine tenderness he occasionally showed to her and their intertwined hands on every picture posted.
Ellie had decided that she couldnât take it any longer. Finley was hers, and Sofia had to die.
To Ellieâs surprise, she discovered the extent of the womanâs

dreadful life, the mistreatment she endured during her time in prison, and yet she managed to survive and found her way back to Finleyâs bed.
At that moment, Ellie truly began to panic.
She had thought Sofia and Finley were done with each other, and there was no possibility of getting back together, so why did Finley bring her here?
Why?
Feeling sickened by the sight of the woman and finding Ellieâs questioning ridiculous, Sofia tried to evade the situation by stepping around Ellie and leaving. She felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion. Even breathing was hard.
Ellie felt Sofia brush her shoulder, and she hurried after the woman to block her path.
âSofia! Youâre shameless!â
âLook at yourself! I mean, donât you understand what you are. now?!â
âYou actually tried to hook up with Finley?â
âYou Campbells deserve to be dead and gone! Donât you know who forced your father to jump off a building? Why donât you do it too? Are you that petty?â
âYeah, I am.â Sofia hadnât wanted to dwell on it, but now two people had mentioned her father.
Growing up, Sofia had always been cherished and adored by her father, who treated her like his most valuable treasure.

Sofiaâs lips curled up in mockery as she looked steadily at Ellieâs angry and distorted features.
âItâs actually pretty interesting,â She began. âThree years ago, Finley slept with me so he could get his revenge. But now, three years later, Iâm a dirty, petty, and disfigured woman, but he still wants to sleep with me. How about that?â
âYou-â Ellieâs face turned white with rage.
Sofia looked at her with amusement. âWhether it was in the past or present, you still couldnât get him to have sex with you. How pitiful.â
âWhy are you such a bitch?!â Ellie raised her hand to slap Sofia, but Sofia reached out and blocked it.
Sofiaâs hands were rough from her hard work, but they had a strong grip. She tightly held onto Ellieâs wrist, refusing to let go.
Ellie met Sofiaâs cold and sullen eyes and felt a little afraid.
She felt something was wrong. Sofia got out of prison and went to work at Charming Bar. She first seduced Brian, and now Finleyâ¦
âDo you want to get back at us? Iâm going to tell Finley! You came to Charming Bar with a purpose in mind, didnât you?â
âYou approached Finley, you seduced his best friend, andâ¦â
Sofia looked at her with an emotionless expression. âEllie, you should go write a novel, maybe youâll get famous.â

As the door to the nearby room swung open, Finley emerged, taken aback by the sound of two women arguing in the hallway. It was unusual for him to bring a woman here, as this place was usually quiet and serene.
The moment Ellie saw Finley come out, her eyes were rimmed with tears and she cried out, breaking away from Sofiaâs hand.
âFinley, help me!â
She looked at Sofia in horror and backed up against the wall.
âIâve already forgiven you for what happened three years. ago! My left hand hasnât even fully healed! What more do you want?â Ellieâs face contorted with fear, and she pretended to lose her balance to fall into Finleyâs arms.
Ellie huddled into his chest, shaking, and that look would have fooled even Sofia if she hadnât seen how arrogant she was beforehand.
The woman should be awarded an Oscar for her acting skills.
Finleyâs expression darkened as he shielded Ellie from Sofia.
Sofia laughed bitterly, she didnât have to explain herself.
Instead, she turned around, and Finleyâs deep, cold voice came from behind her. âSofia, this is your one and only warning. If I see you do anything to her next time, I will have you killed.â
Sofia stopped in her tracks but didnât turn around, and she continued towards the elevator room.

She didnât even try to argue or explain because there was no need. No matter what was said, Finley would always think she was the one who mutilated his precious Ellie.
Finley looked at her retreating silhouette and his heart felt a series of complex emotions.
Ellie hid behind him, but her face was pale. Why did Finley just let her go?
He gave her a warning, but Ellie thought she knew him well.
If Finley intended to act against someone, he never gave them any forewarning. He was known for his straightforward and noânonsense approach.
The more she talked, the faster the matter was sealed.
But he had seen Sofia clutching Ellie by the wrist with his own eyes.
âFinley! I-â Ellie was about to speak when the elevator door opened, revealing Justin and a group of people with panicked. expressions. They passed by Sofia, but she paid them no attention and walked into the nowâempty elevator,
Justin approached Finley with his head down, afraid to speak. Ellie had rushed past him to get to the elevator and Justin hadnât stopped her.

Ellieâs face fell as well. She was hurt that Finley had wanted to keep her out.
But why can that bitch Sofia come in while I canât?
Ellie concealed her dissatisfaction and forced a sweet smile, saying âFinley, itâs my fault. My dad wants to see you, but youâre always so busy. After all, weâre about to get engaged, so why not we have dinner with him?â
Finley was indebted to the Hills or their past support, and he was very patient with Ellie. But today, he felt inexplicably irritable. Even Ellieâs presence had annoyed him.
Finley felt a pounding headache, and his heart started to hurt. He rubbed his brow. âWhen is Uncle Hill coming to New York?â
âTomorrow morning. Can you come to my house for dinner?â Ellie asked with a smile as she affectionately squeezed Finleyâs arm. âIâd like to hold the engagement party on that island you recently invested in. And itâs just in time to also promote Sky Inc.âs artificial island project!â
Finley looked at her wearily. âYeah, I got it. Justin, send Miss Grey back to her house.â
Justin came up and offered his arm to Ellie, who took it with a fake smile. She looked back at Finley and called, âIâll see

Chapter 15
Sofia came out of the elevator, and Daisy, who had been waiting, rushed to her quickly.
âSophy!âDaisyâs face paled, and she grabbed Sofiaâs cold
hand.
âSophy, what did Finley Stwart do to you? Are you okay?âDaisy was frightened.
She had thought to send away the guests and was ready to leave with Sofia, but she didnât expect Sofia to be taken away by Finley.
This matter had exploded in the Charming Bar now. Someone saw Mr. Stwart carrying Sofia away on his shoulders.
How ambiguous that scene was!
Everyone was guessing whether Mr. Stwartâs feelings for Sofia have been revived. But it didnât look like it, anyway, everyone envied Sofia.
Sofia was disfigured but still could get the love from Mr. Stwart, the man who could impact the whole of NY.
Anyone who could sleep with Mr. Stwart would wake up laughing from a dream.
Everyone was jealous of Sofia, but Daisy thought they were f***g idiots. Finley Stwart was a b***d and cruel, the one

Daisy didnât think it would be any good for Sofia to be taken away by Finley alone. She mustered up the courage to find Sofia but was blocked by Finleyâs bodyguards. She couldnât even close the door of the exclusive elevator.
Seeing that it was past three oâclock in the morning, Daisy was anxious. When she saw Sofia come out, she rushed up and asked questions with concern.
Sofia was weak and she whispered, âDaisy, go back first.â
âOkay!âDaisy hurriedly led Sofia towards the staff passage, but they were stopped by Sis May.
âSis May.âSofia and Daisy stopped.
Meroy walked slowly, Sofia didnât know how long this night would be to get through.
She now knew who Meroy was subordinate to, and Finley didnât know what to do with sending her here.
Meroy looked at Sofia with a smirk, and her eyes were fixed on the marks on Sofiaâs neckline. She coughed and said, âMiss Campbell, you donât need to work at Charming Bar from tomorrow on.â
Sofia clenched slightly into fists, and she knew that Finley was against her so he fired her on purpose.
Daisy couldnât hold back the anger, and she sneered, âSis May, you have been in this industry for so long, you have seen all kinds of people.â

âFor Sofiaâs personality, you should know it very well. She always hard to work.â
âMr. Stwart was so unfair!â
âFine! We donât want to do it anymore, but you must pay us salary, right?â
Seeing that Daisy blushed, Meroy sneered and thought Daisy was a cute girl.
She liked Daisy quite a bit. Daisy seemed bad-tempered, but she was very soft-hearted underneath.
If it was Meroy, she wouldnât be able to stand against Finley and desperately defend Sofia.
Daisy was a good girl and a friend worth making, but she was a little silly.
âUnfair? You could ask fair with Mr. Stwart if youâre not afraid of death! Do you dare to ask for it?â
Daisy was speechless, and she didnât dare to ask for it. She just wanted to speak for Sofia.
Sis May glared at Daisy, âBesides, itâs the beginning of the month, what salary did you want? You donât want to work here anymore? If not, then donât be late tomorrow! Get out now! Donât get in my way!â
Sis May scolded Daisy and then left. Sofia and Daisy were confused. It meant that if Sofia was dismissed, Daisy could continue to work.
Daisy breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the whole of NY,

there were indeed many clubs, but the salary was the highest, the treatment was the best, and the only place where guests didnât dare to mess around was Charming Bar.
Daisy was still worried about Sofiaâs motherâs medical bills, so she didnât want to leave Charming Bar.
She grabbed Sofiaâs hand and smiled, âItâs fine, Sophy, you can stay at home for a few days and donât worry about work and money, just take your time.â
Sofia was full of doubts about whether Finley let her go.
As long as she didnât appear in front of him again, maybe they would be able to turn over a new leaf in their lives.
Sofia cooked washed clothes, and cleaned their house for Daisy in the following days.
After finishing the housework, she opened various job- hunting websites. Because her hand was disabled and her face was disfigured, her image was not good. Although she was a top student in the design school, those design companies rejected her when they heard Sofiaâs name.
Sofia gave up her profession completely and started to ask. those restaurants, pubs, and even food delivery companies, but no one was willing to hire her.
There were still a few other companies who planned to keep her because of her honesty, so they could let her clean the floor, and wash the dishes without showing her face. It was set at first, but in the end, they rejected her inexplicably.

Somebody was trying to punish her, and didnât want her to find any job, not even the lowest-paying and most tiring job.
âCould it be Finley Stwart? How could he?!âDaisy looked at Sofia who was extremely exhausted and indignant.
Sofia smiled bitterly to herself and shook her head. Since Finley could let Daisy continue to work in Charming Bar, he probably would not be so bored to intervene in a small restaurant to prevent them from providing Sofia with a job.
Daisy grabbed Sofiaâs hand, âDonât worry, Sophy, there was always a way.â
âThe medical expenses can still support Aunt for three months, I will beg Sis May to arrange more work for me these daysâ¦â
âDaisy,â Sofia hurriedly said, âDaisy, Iâm grateful. Our Campbell Family was a muddy mess, and youâve been involved. I really canât let youâ¦â
Daisy looked at her seriously, âSofia, you have always been the one I look up to. You were so smart, youâre good at drawing, you even opened your studio and the design company and won so many awards. I have always believed that you were such a good person, and you will not be unlucky forever! I am optimistic about you! Donât be too hard on yourself, donât be discouraged!â

She hugged Daisy with a m***d voice, âDaisy, thank you.â
But Daisyâs words reminded Sofia that she couldnât use her left hand, but she could still draw with her right hand.
Sofia suddenly thought of a way, and bought more than a hundred white T-shirts, each costing $5.
She bought paint and started painting on the white T-shirt.
With a few simple strokes, each pattern was individually designed by Sofia. Each of them was different, and the color. matching was also good-looking.
After she specially treated the paint, the color will not fade. within a short time.
Daisy praised Sofia as a genius, and the painting was really good. To support her, Daisy went to work by putting on it.
After one hundred T-shirts were painted, Sofia bought a small cart in the second-hand market and was going to set up a stall in the market to sell her painted T-shirts. She intended to sell one for $20.
She didnât know if she could sell it since the pattern she designed herself.
At eight oâclock in the evening, Daisy came home from work. for dinner, and Sofia still had four hours to sell clothes.
She touched the T-shirts which she drew for more than half a month. She drew late every day, and her eyes hurt.
Daisy also prepared a glow-in-the-dark billboard for her. Sofia looked up at the radiant night scene and suddenly felt

Daisy said that if life reaches the lowest point, donât be afraid, no matter how you go in the future, you will always be positive.
Sofia lowered her head and smiled, that girl was sometimes very philosophical.
She pushed the car on the road. Her left hand was not strong, so she pushed with some difficulty. But she still walked forward step by step firmly.
She believed in the miracle again now.

Sofia collapsed on the cold ground, the cart fell apart, and the T-shirts were s***d everywhere.
Her ribs were also broken, and her body flew up high like a broken leaf, then rolled to the side again.
The driver who caused the accident fled on the spot. This was a very serious traffic accident. Not only the pickup truck but also a high-profile red Ferrari also slammed into the pickup truck.
The Ferrari was blocking the impact of the pickup truck for Sofia, otherwise, it would not be as simple as breaking her rib.
The accident happened at a moment, one hit Sofia, the other subconsciously brushed past the pickup, and the Ferrari also hit the tree trunk beside the road. The tree trunk was even
broken.
The person sitting in the driverâs seat had blood oozing from his forehead, and he almost passed out from the collision.

âSofia! Sofia !!â Brian yelled like crazy, half kneeling in front of Sofia.
He called Sofia before, but the connection was cut off while he was talking, and he couldnât get through when he called again.
Brian couldnât talk about any business in Italy at all, and his heart was always hanging.
After meeting Sofia again, he was completely out of control.
At first, he felt sorry for this woman, and then he wanted to do something for her. He knew that he had overdone it. Sofiaâs sunny smile was so different from the current Sofiaâs, he was worried about her.
He was busy closing the business in Italy as soon as possible, leaving the follow-up business negotiations to his assistant, and booked a plane ticket to return home.
He went to Charming Bar to find Sofia, but he didnât expect that Sofia had left for more than half a month.
Brian used some tricks to get the address of the house where Sofia lived from Daisy, and as soon as he drove to Cranberry Street. He saw the hunched and familiar figure on the sidewalk.

Franco was diagnosed with cancer just half a year ago, so he wanted to hand over his daughter to Finley.
Everyone praised Finley as being kind and righteous, a good man, and Ellie was married to the right man.
According to Finleyâs status in the NY business industry, there were too many people to join in, so they could only issue invitations to limit the number of people attending the engagement banquet.
Even so, all the star-rated hotels on the island have been fully occupied by those attending the engagement banquet.
Ellie was beautifully dressed today, in a high-end Milanese. mermaid dress, and every diamond on the dress was not imitation diamonds but real diamonds.
This skirt was purely handmade, with a total of 999 diamonds inlaid on the dress, and the skirt was worth more than 24 million.
She stood gracefully on the center stage and looked at Finley who was standing opposite. He was still wearing a pure black suit, stern and majestic, which made people feel very stressed.

The reporters turned their cameras on Finley, ready to witness the exciting moment.
âPlease Mr. Stwart and Miss Gray exchange engagement rings, let all of us here witness this happy moment together!â
There was applause all around, and Ellie nervously squeezed the velvet box in her hand, which contained the diamond ring she specially ordered for Finley.
Everyone looked at Finley. Finley took a breath, and assistant Justin behind him hurriedly handed him the box containing the ring.
Finley held it in his hand casually and was about to walk towards Ellie. Suddenly, someone was whispering something fiercely, Paul got up and left.
A few of them looked anxious, but they didnât dare to tell Finley. He was getting engaged today, and they couldnât let him know about the bad news.

Finley frowned. He was very clear about his friends. They wouldnât be so flustered unless something serious
happened.
âJustin! Whatâs wrong?â Finley stopped.
Assistant Justin was taken aback, âShouldnât Mr. Stwart be exchanging rings with Miss Hill now? Why was he asking this for?â
He didnât know what to say. It was true that what happened just now was too unexpected. They were stunned, and Paul had already left the venue to help.
âSay it!âFinley hated people who kept everything from him and treated him like a fool.
Assistant Justin hurriedly whispered, âMr. Stwart, Mr. Sanchez had a car accident and his forehead was hurt.â
Finley was taken aback, Brian was back? Why didnât Brian come to his engagement banquet when he come back?
No, the forehead was broken, it should be a minor injury, why let Paul go?
Paul was the best surgeon in NY, so Brian wouldnât make such a fuss and disturb his engagement party with such a small injury.
âJustin, if you hide anything from me, you know the consequencesâ¦â
Assistant Justin changed his face and said in a low voice, âAnd⦠Miss Campbell was also at the scene of the car

Finley turned and rushed out towards the door.

The moment Finley rushed out of the hall, the whole scene was in an uproar.
All the reportersâ cameras were pointed in Finleyâs direction. This wealthy marriage, whether it was the regular news media or the paparazzi, was big news to them.
So those cameras captured the scene of Finley leaving clearly, and then the reporters subconsciously pointed the camera at Ellie standing alone on the stage.
Ellie froze there, her eyes fixed on the direction Finley was leaving. Her hands tightly clutched the velvet box containing the engagement ring, almost deforming the box.
Her chest heaved violently, tears were suffocating in her eyes, and she forced herself not to cry..
Was she being publicly abandoned by Finley?
Ellieâs heart seemed to be fried in a frying pan, the pain was severe, and she was extremely aggrieved.
If he didnât want to get engaged, he could have made it clear beforehand. What was it now? After abandoning her in public, how would she behave in NY in the future?
Ellie wanted to scream, cry, run up to Finley, and slap him hard, asking why did he treat her like this?

In the auditorium below, a middleâaged man sitting in the middle was already pale.
He didnât look in good health, his figure was thin, and hist face was extremely gloomy.
Franco clenched into a fist, his deep eyes were full of hostility and anger.
What the fuck did Finley Stwart think of his daughter?
The host who was in charge of the engagement ceremony was dumbfounded at this moment and didnât know what to
say.
She smiled awkwardly and said, âEveryone⦠it seems that Mr. Stwart has something urgent to do, so please everyone go to the banquet hall first to take your seats.â
âLet our Miss Hill take a rest first!â
Ellie turned around and walked down the stage, but her steps staggered and she almost fell.

Before she took a few steps, Bella on the side hurriedly followed.
Bellaâs emotion was no better than that of Ellieâs. At this time, Ellie didnât have much interest in talking to her. She was just a dog and was kept by Sofiaâs side before, but now she was kept by her side.

She felt that Ellie was also quite cheap, but Ellie was Mr. Stwartâs fiance. Although Bella found it strange, she didnât want to meddle in her business.
Until today she could see that the person Finley liked was Sofia who was in prison.
Bella liked Brian. Brian was rich, handsome, and funny. The key point was that Brian has invested in many

Finley called Paul directly and told him not to take the boat and come to the west apron.
Paul was planning to go ashore by boat, pick up the car from the garage, and go to the hospital to check the situation.
The last time he checked Sofiaâs body, that womanâs body was really bad, and she might not be able to survive tonight with such a serious injury.

Daisy came out to buy something to accompany Sofia, and she had to call Sis May to ask for a few days off.

If Finley wanted to harm Sofia, he wouldnât have brought a doctor to save her just now and even messed up his engagement party for Sofia.
Daisy still looked at Finley warily, and Finley didnât want others to see him like this.
He should hate the woman inside, shouldnât he?
Such an affectionate gaze seemed like a joke.
Finley didnât care about Daisy who was staring at him, turned and walked away. He stopped and looked at Daisy sideways, and said, âTake a month off, no deductions, and will give you bonuses.â

Ellieâs face was gloomy, and she took a deep puff of the cigarette. With a sneer, âWell, no one would have expected such a thing. But Mr. Sanchez happened to bump into this matter, so itâs not easy to be dealt with!â
The people over there were about to cry.
âMiss Hill, I owed some gambling debts before, but this time itâs a life lawsuit. If Mr. Sanchez checks on me, I will die.â
âDonât be afraid, donât you still have me? Donât worry, Iâll take care of it. You go to Pier No. 3 now. I arranged a boat there. You smuggle to Southeast Asia first.â
âOkay, thank you Miss Hill, but⦠going abroad will cost a lot of money⦠You seeâ¦â
Ellieâs eyes changed. The reason why she chose to kill Sofia today was to make that woman disappear from this world forever during her and Finleyâs engagement party.

She liked such a sense of ritual, but she didnât expect Brian to come out.
It would be a trouble if Brian checked it.
Ellie picked up another mobile phone, tapped it a few times, and then made a call.
âCheck your account, I will give you one million first, and the other one million will wait for you to go to the pier. Someone will contact you to give you cash.â
âAn extra five hundred thousand will be given to you. You will see it when you go to your destination.â
Then Ellie hung up the phone without hearing the reply.
She took a deep puff of the cigarette, and her usual image of a lady was completely different.
It was her true face, sinister, cunning, viciousâ¦
She picked up another mobile phone and dialed, her voice was vague and unreal in the night.
âYes, Pier No. 3, kill him!â
Ellie put down the phone, there was a knock from the nanny.
âMiss Hill, Mr. Stwart was here.â
Ellie was stunned for a moment, she was not as happy as when Finley came to see her in the past, and she was more or less resentful.
On such a big occasion as the engagement banquet, he left.

Ellie took a deep breath, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom. She took a shower to wash away the smell of cigarettes, rubbed her eyes hard, and changed clothes to the living room until her eyes turned red.
In the living room, Franco sat in the front seat, Finley sat on the sofa beside him, and the nanny brought coffee.
The atmosphere was tense, Franco leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes, not talking to Finley.
If it werenât for Finleyâs current identity and status, Franco probably wouldnât bother to see him. âBrother Finley, âEllie whispered to Finley with red eyes.
Finley looked up at Ellie, guilt flitting across his face.
Ellie carefully sat beside Finley, and Finley looked at them, âUncle Franco, Ellie, Iâm sorry.â
âHeh!â Franco sneered, âMr. Stwart, your apology is useless.â
Francoâs words were harsh, but Finley was not offended, and continued, âI will try my best to make up for you. I plan to transfer 50% of the shares I invested to Ellie.â
Franco immediately sat up straight, and Ellie was also shocked.
The program Finley invested in this time was a big deal, and the transfer of so many stocks to the Hill Family had made the Hill Family a windfall.

Francoâs face softened a little, and he looked at Finley and said, âYou were messing around with your feelings. How will Ellie behave in NY in the future?â
âForget it, thereâs no need to make up the engagement banquet, you two could pick a good day and get married directly!â
âIt could be regarded as fulfilling my wish, and it was also your fatherâs wish back then.â
Finley was taken aback for a moment, and nodded, âYes, I will take care of this matter. Please give me some time.â
Franco accepted his apology now, after all, Finley was not the poor boy who joined the Hill Family back then and had nothing.
And he had a bad temper. If they annoyed him, which was not good for the Hill Family.
âFinley, itâs getting late, go back to rest. Ellie, you go see Finley off.â
Although Franco eased the relationship with Finley, he was also very depressed and didnât want to talk to him too much.
Ellie got up and sent Finley out of the villa.
Finley stood still, âEllie, go back, itâs cold outside.â
âBrother Finley, âEllie looked up at Finley, âdo you still love Sofia?â

Ellie stared at Finleyâs handsome face, and her hands hanging by her side were clenched into fists because of
nervousness.
Finley didnât answer her question and raised his hand to pat her shoulder.
âHave rest early.â He turned and walked into the night.
Ellie was unsteady at that moment, feeling aggrieved and uncomfortable.
But she didnât believe that Sofia could enter the Stwart Family, let alone the fact that the relationship between the Stwart Family and the Campbell Family had come to an end, even if she could enter Finleyâs world, she wouldnât be able to give Finley a complete life.
She had plenty of opportunities.
Three days later, Sofia was transferred from intensive care to a general ward.
Because of Finley and Brianâs help, Sofia was arranged to recuperate in the best single ward.
She could only lie on the bed. Daisy helped her peel apples and eggs to supplement her nutrition.
Sofia once again felt the warmth of the sun, as if she had gone through several lifetimes in a trance, too heavy and too

âIâve called the police for you, the driver who caused the accident, that bastard, ran away!â
Daisy talked to Sofia while peeling an apple, âThereâs no surveillance in that place, itâs a surveillance blind spot, Damn it!â
âAnd the license plate of that pickup truck was a temporary set, fake one! The police were tracking it down.â
âDonât think too much, take care of yourself.â
Sofia moved her body a little but felt a dull pain. She grabbed Daisyâs hand with difficulty.
âDonât move, be careful of the knife hurting you, do you want to drink water or⦠âDaisy didnât expect Sofia to be clingy to her after waking up, feeling as if she was afraid of being abandoned. She couldnât help laughing.
âDaisy, âSofia looked at Daisy with a solemn expression, âBe careful when you commute to and from work.â
Daisy was still delighted at first, but suddenly stopped talking, âSophy, youâ¦â
Sofia took a breath, âIt was not an accident. Someone wants to kill me. Iâm afraid they will do it to you too. You must be careful. Daisy, youâre my best friend and Iâm scared ofâ¦â
Daisy smiled, âDonât be afraid and donât worry. By the way, did Bitch Ellie do it? Apart from her, I canât think of anyone who would hurt you?â

Ellie was now Finleyâs favorite person. Three years ago he didnât believe that Ellie would plot against her. Three years later, what was she expecting now?
Sofia whispered, âI walked carefully, and kept walking close to the sidewalk. The angle of the car rushing towards me was strange. There was no monitoring, no physical evidence, no personal witnessâ¦â
She took a breath, âIt was like being in a prison. They tortured me time and time again. There was blood all over the floor. They would rinse the floor with clean water and help me clean the blood all over my body. They even used liquid foundation to make me up. I struggled in my first year, and I reported it to the prison guards, but several prison guards stood by them.â
âI want to sue, but there was no witness or physical evidence. They bullied me in groups and shielded each other. I am the only sinner who framed good people!â
âThere was not any evidence. I had nothing to do. They forced me to use a knife on them and reported it to the prison guards to add my additional punishment. I didnât dare to resist later, and if I continued to sue, I would not be able to get out there. â
âI relied on my bad life to resist.â
