Chapter 1962

It was nighttime. Sophie walked out of the clinic as she rubbed her swollen cheek. Anger still boiled in her.

Although she had registered her marriage with the wealthy businessman, Wilfred Astor, and had become his wife in name, Wilfred was always abroad and seldom returned to Coast City.

She had been instigating Wilfred to invest in a new company in Coast City.

Since Rosalie could develop Petal Talk and starting up a company seemed simple, she felt she could do it too.

Sophie had even been trying to contact those people in Rosalie’s research institute. She believed if she could offer a tempting price, some of them would be moved and be willing to join her company. They could then expose trade secrets.

After returning to the five-star hotel, she ordered a meal at the reception counter to get it delivered to her room.

However, the receptionist smiled apologetically and said, ” Hi, Miss Jacobs. I’m sorry, but you can’t continue your stay in this hotel. Please pack your bags immediately and leave the room!”

Sophie was shocked, and she snapped. “What is this? I have lots of money left in my VIP card. Why can’t I stay? Are you trying to chase away your VIP customer? I want to talk to your manager!”

The receptionist was not flustered. All she did was apologize formally while ignoring Sophie’s temper.

At last, two security guards came and coldly told Sophie to pack her things. If she refused to do it, they would do it for her.

It pissed Sophie off. The hotel manager walked out to the lounge and told Sophie she might be unable to stay in any hotels in Coast City now.

“Why? What makes you think you can treat me like this? I want to call the police!” She roared.

However, the hotel manager only shot her a cold glance.” Miss Jacobs, let me be honest with you. This is because you’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have.”

Instantly, Sophie understood.

Everything was because of Byron’s influence!

She gritted her teeth and packed up her things reluctantly. Then, she left the hotel with her suitcase pathetically.

Now, the only person she could think of was her wealthy husband. Thus, she called and acted coquettishly.

“Honey, something happened on my side. Can you see if you can deal with this…”

She had always used this method to deal with Wilfred, who was already in his 50s. It had always worked.

Unexpectedly, Wilfred responded coldly, “Immediately book a flight ticket and leave Coast City tonight.

Otherwise, I’ll divorce you!”

His reaction dumbfounded Sophie.

“Honey, what’s the matter? Is it…?” Sophie could not believe it.

Wilfred was one of the wealthiest businessmen in Crystal Wharf. He had even developed his business on the mainland and accumulated many connections.

She could not believe Wilfred could do nothing about Byron.

“Why did you mess with the Lawrence family? Are you trying to drag me down? Let me tell you, I’ll give you all the money you want, but if you’re going to bring trouble to me, I won’t keep a woman like you by my side. All you have to offer me is your body. Don’t think of yourself so highly! If you don’t return to Crystal Wharf, you’ll never have to after this. I’ll just take it as the money I previously gave you is gone for good!”

Wilfred was not stupid. He received a call from the Lawrence family out of a sudden and only got to know his young wife had caused him trouble.

The Lawrence family’s influence was not only in Coast City. He could not afford to offend the Lawrence family.

After Wilfred hung up her call, Sophie stood by the street as the cold wind blew her hair. However, she felt her blood boiling in anger.

Her heart was hammering as her anger grew.

“Rosalie! Just you wait! I’ll remember what you’ve done to me and the humiliation you’ve brought. You and your children will not have a good life!”
