"Mandy!" Sophie suddenly yelled.Mitchell froze, his expression darkening in a blink of an eye. It seemed as though his sullen eyes could tear her apart.Sophie breathed a sigh of relief. She knew mentioning Mandy would be effective. Yet, a bitter feeling lingered in her heart. Only Mandy could affect him so deeply and make him hesitate."How could you do this? What about Mandy? Have you ever considered how she would feel if she were to find out?"Sophie's words struck a nerve, prompting the typically aloof Mitchell to shove her away."You have no right to speak of her!" he snapped vehemently before storming out.Sophie slumped onto the bed, finding no solace, even though she had narrowly escaped the situation. Her heart was heavy with sadness and sourness. She closed her eyes, allowing her tears to flow freely.Finally, it was all coming to an end. Perhaps what had happened three years ago was a mistake from the start. She shouldn't have agreed to that thing out of greed, and n

The door to the punishment room was suddenly kicked open from the outside. As the person saw the unconscious Sophie lying on the ground, a terrifying look appeared in his eyes."Mr. Warner..."Beside him, Shane couldn't help but whisper, not daring to look at the person's expression.The man was none other than Mitchell. He lifted Sophie into his arms in one swift motion and walked right out of the room.Shane followed behind, not daring to make a sound.In fact, it wasn't until that moment that he understood what had happened.The night before, Mitchell had looked distraught after seeing a message on his phone. He had immediately chartered a private jet back and wordlessly headed straight to Warner Manor.Shane had anxiously speculated whether something had happened to Gertrude. Now that he had finally seen the unconscious Sophie, he grasped the situation.Shane couldn't help but sigh.He had been observing them for the past few years, but he still couldn't figure out what Mi

Sophie watched as Mitchell walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and answered the phone.As he turned to the side, the light cast shadows on his chiseled face. Still, he was handsome enough to mesmerize anyone and make their hearts race with joy.But Sophie felt no joy in her heart at that moment. That familiar phone number haunted her mind. Although she had only seen a few digits, she had a gut feeling that it was Mandy.As if to confirm her suspicions, Mitchell's expression suddenly softened after listening to the voice on the other end of the line.Though Sophie couldn't discern the emotions in his eyes, she could imagine they were filled with tenderness, a sight she had never seen before.When Mitchell returned to the table, the sweetness that had risen in Sophie's heart earlier vanished, leaving behind only bitterness. Even the food in her mouth tasted sour.After finishing the meal, Mitchell said, "I have to go out for a while. You don't have to wait for me."He spoke as t

Sophie had been waiting anxiously since she got back to Warner Residence. Her gaze was fixed at the door. She couldn't wait to see Mitchell."Ms. Sophie, it's still quite early now."Harold probably sensed her good mood and sense of urgency. So, he poked fun at her.Naturally, the reason he said that was because Mitchell had been coming home for dinner almost every day in the past few days.In the past, Mitchell would come home once or twice a month. Harold wouldn't have dared to say something like that back then."I'm not…"Sophie's face reddened at his words.She wanted to see Mitchell, but Harold had misunderstood why she wanted to see him. Harold just looked at her with a meaningful glance. She didn't even know how to explain things to him. All jokes aside, he was still a man who knew his boundaries. He didn't press any further after that.It seemed like luck wasn't on Sophie's side that day. Mitchell, who had been coming home on time, was late that day.Sophie's ent

Just as they started doing it, Mitchell's phone rang.Sophie finally regained her senses. Looking at the state they were in, she started to blush. She quickly grabbed a blanket and covered her body.Mitchell frowned. He picked up his phone annoyedly. Damn it! Who would be so insensitive to call at this hour?He cussed softly but quickly moved away from Sophie when he saw who was calling. Sophie felt the fire in her dying out following Mitchell's heartless actions. She had a feeling that Mandy was the one who called. She pursed her lips as she grabbed the blanket tighter, looking aggrieved.After a while, Mitchell came back into the room with his phone in hand. The lust was completely gone from his eyes. He was back to his usual self."Rest well. I'll be heading out."Sophie didn't want to hold her emotions back anymore. She asked determinedly, "Where are you going?"But she was afraid of the answer she might get.Mitchell, who was putting on his clothes, paused for a whil
