Upon listening to his words, Sophia was completely stunned.

Even Nathan was looking at Richard in disbelief.

Sophia sneered secretly; being buried in the Harper Family’s ancestral grave after death? What a gift! Sophia felt like she should kneel down and thank the Lord!

Sophia thought that she shouldn’t be talking to Richard at all; to her, it was an insult. She turned around and said before she left, “I’m sorry. I have to hurry over.”

With that, Sophia and Nathan walked away.

However, Richard didn’t want to let her go at all.

At the moment, it had become impossible to help Kayla out. They had thought of everything, going through every connection and network they had. Yet, they still couldn’t find a way. Richard thought about going to Sophia, but he was worried that she had already helped put in a good word for him several times in front of Joel. If she revealed it too much, she would fall out of Joel’s favor and lose her value.

Joel had actually taken Sophia to the Fletcher Family’s grave; by the looks of it, she hadn’t fallen out of his favor!

Richard grabbed Sophia’s arm tightly and begged, “Sophia, you are Kayla’s only hope now. As long as you put in a word for Kayla in front of Joel, she would definitely be rescued.”

Trying to calm her anger, Sophia said politely, “I am really sorry for Kayla, but there’s really nothing I can do!”

 

Richard pleaded bitterly, almost kneeling down in front of her. “I know that, Sophia. However, Kayla is my only sister. Do you know how important she is to me? You are still blaming me, right? You are angry that I got engaged with Xyla, aren’t you? That was because I had no other choice—just like you and Joel, I’m sure you are unwilling too, right? I know you’ll definitely understand me. I swear, you are the only person in my heart. Xyla and I are only forced to be together.”

Sophia clenched her fists harder in silence and sneered suddenly. “I came with Joel. Aren’t you afraid he will be mad if he sees you like this?”

 

When Joel was mentioned, Richard was indeed worried, but he was certain Sophia was only trying to avoid him. Hence, he was not afraid at all.

“Sophia, I know you have slept with Joel, but I am still the one you love…”

“Ahem!” Suddenly, a snort was heard from behind Sophia.

It was only then did Richard notice a man dressed in a full black and formal suite standing on the wet asphalt road not far behind Sophia.

In that moment, Richard’s expression was as if he had seen a ghost!
