The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 825

The slap never landed on Victoria's face.

Instead, it was caught in unison by Harrison and Victoria. Their expressions froze momentarily before they pushed Sophie out with force!

Someone with no background in martial arts would easily end up on the floor, which is exactly what happened to Sophie. She crashed, landing squarely on her behind.

The pain in her tailbone was excruciating, making her curl up on the ground, yet she still found the strength to curse, "Victoria, you're going to pay for this! I just wanted to help you, and this is how you repay me? I'm telling Dad!"

Her shrill voice echoed around the diner.

Normally, Victoria would have charged at Sophie, fists ready. But with Harrison there, she lost interest in the squabble. "Harrison, why didn't I see it before? You have a thing for Sophie, don't you? Seeing her humiliated bothers you, right?"

"If you had just told me, I would've packed my bags already. Tell my father we're getting a divorce, let you two lovebirds have your happy ending."

Harrison was on the verge of exploding, "Victoria, can't you act normal for once?! If I lose the trial tomorrow, I'll end up like Kipling!"

"And then, who in the Abernathy family will truly stand by you?"

Victoria scoffed, "If you didn't want Sophie here, you should've said something at home. Oh, but you're scared of being exposed as a hypocrite, worried Madeline would spill the beans to my father?"
