Chapter 790
Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan)
âItâs not me but Ms. Lineker. Something happened to her, and weâre now in the hospital.â
Wendy was not a local, and she had not gone home to celebrate Christmas this year.
Hence, she rushed to the hospital after receiving a call from Wilma.
She did not know what to do when she saw how Wilma was beaten to a pulp.
At that time, the first person who crossed her mind was Sophie.
If Ms. Sophie knows about this, sheâll surely help us because she always treats all the employees at
Transfix Cosmetics well.
âWhich hospital are you two in?â
Isnât Ms. Lineker pregnant? Whatâs going on? What can happen to a newlywed?
Wendy then sent the address of the hospital to Sophie.
Immediately, the latter said to Tristan, who was driving, âDonât go home yet. Letâs head to this hospital.â
Tristan knew how much she cared for her staff at Transfix Cosmetics. Hence, he did not utter a word
but did as she said and drove her to the hospital.
When they arrived, Wilma was still in the emergency room.
Meanwhile, Wendy felt much better upon seeing Sophie in person.
âMs. Sophie, that man is too much! He actually beat Ms. Lineker up on Christmas Day!â It was clearly a
case of domestic violence.
How dare he have the audacity to hit Ms. Lineker!
âWhat should we do, Ms. Sophie? It wasnât easy for Ms. Lineker to have found her happiness. Yet, it
turns out that her life isnât as blissful as she thought it would be at all.â Wendy had completely lost her
faith in love.
Wilma was so happy a few days ago. Sheâs not a demanding person, so why did it end up like this?
âWhereâs Phineas Lehner?â
Phineas was Wilmaâs husband. Sophie had a good memory, so even though she had only met him
once, she remembered his full name.
âI donât know. After getting a call from Ms. Lineker, I went to her place and saw that her house was a
complete mess. Phineas was nowhere to be found.â
âOkay, I got it. Donât worry; weâll wait here together.â
Half an hour later, Wilma was wheeled out of the emergency room.
When Sophie saw her, she instinctively clenched her fists tightly.
That damn Phineas! What was he thinking? How could he hurt her so badly?
Wilmaâs face had swelled up as a consequence of the repeated hitting. There was not an area on her
face that was not bruised or injured.
It was hard to imagine a prideful person like Wilma would let herself end up being pummeled to a pulp.
Anyone who saw her in that state would have felt terribly sad.
âWendy, why did you call Ms. Sophie here? Itâs Christmas.â Ms. Sophie has always been very busy.
How can she find time to take care of our petty affairs?
As soon as Sophie heard those words, she walked to Wilma and grabbed her hand.
âDonât think too much, Ms. Lineker. All you need to do now is rest.â
Wilma had always been a feisty woman.
She really thought that she had found her happiness. Ironically, things turned out totally different for
her. Now, she felt extremely pathetic. As if that was not enough, Sophie had to witness her in her most
miserable state.
âMs. Sophie, I lost my baby.â Wilma had been ready to accept any outcome, no matter what it was.
However, she did not expect Phineas to hit her so badly just a few days after their wedding.
When he was assaulting her, it was obvious that he did not take her as his wife but treated her like an
enemy.
He even kicked her stomach and caused her to miscarry.
Wilma subconsciously placed her hand on her flat stomach.
As it turns out, having a blissful life is not an easy thing to achieve.
Wendy could not help but cry when she saw Wilma like that.
âMs. Sophie, Phineas is too much! How could he treat Ms. Lineker so badly?â It was not that Wendy
had never heard about domestic violence before, but she thought that no man would ever lay a finger
on another woman now that the world was much more civilized.
Yet, Wilma, a wonderful woman in their eyes, had encountered domestic violence.
âItâs okay, Ms. Lineker. Please rest well these few days. Wendy, you stay here and take good care of
her while I resolve all the other problems.â There was nothing more Sophie could comment when it
came to that abuser.
âItâs Christmas, Ms. Sophie. Please go home. Iâll be fine as Wendy is here to take care of me.â Wilma
was reluctant to trouble the ladies, but she needed someone to be around, considering her current
state.
âRest well, Ms. Lineker. Iâll come and visit you again tomorrow.â
âOkay. Wendy, please walk Ms. Sophie out for me.â
Wendy did as she had requested.
âMs. Sophie, what should I do? If Phineas were to appear, what should I do?â Wendy was, after all, a
young woman who had not seen much of the world. She had no idea how to handle such a situation.
âDonât worry. If he dares to show up, Iâll break both his legs.â Sophie was blazing with anger.
D*mn you, Phineas!
âAnyway, even if he doesnât come, Iâll seek him out.â
Sophieâs eyes were filled with murderous intent. It was Wendyâs first time seeing a different side of
Sophie, and she thought her domineering boss was so cool!
As long as Ms. Sophie is around, nobody will dare to bully us.
âGo back and take care of Ms. Lineker. Iâll get some food delivered to you in a bit. Make sure she eats,
and donât mention that jerk in front of her anymore. Let her rest.â After giving a series of instructions,
Sophie left the hospital with Tristan.
Back in the car, Sophie immediately made a phone call.
âHelp me find Phineas Lehner and then send me his location.â
Initially, she wanted to deal with the matter the following day, but she did not want that man to roam
around freely while Wilma was still in the hospital.
How can I let him enjoy his freedom and have fun?
âAll right, Phantom. Rest assured that Iâll send you his address soon.â Phantom finally gave me a task!
How could I not do this well?
Tristan knew that Sophie was angry.
She has always been very good to her staff. How can she not get mad when someone who works
under her was physically attacked?
âAre you going to teach that man a lesson now?â Tristan knew her heartâs desire. Hence, he did not
start the car engine but waited with her for Phineasâ location.
âWell, I canât sleep even if I go back now, so letâs deal with this matter first.â
âThatâs true. Heâs just a scumbag. Thereâs no need to wait till tomorrow. Letâs get this done and over
with today.â
Tristan could not agree with her more.
âWhen we see that jerk later, donât do anything. Leave him to me.â He did not want her to touch another
man.
âDonât make it sound so violent. We just want to communicate and share our feelings with him.â
âSure. That sounds good.â
Within five minutes, Sophie received Phineasâ location, and Tristan drove there directly.
At that moment, Phineas was having a good time in a nightclub. When Tristan and Sophie arrived, they
found him surrounded by women.
âYou donât know how boring that woman, Wilma, is. Does she really think that she can tie me down with
marriage?â
