Chapter 36

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When Sophia returned home, she couldn’t help but feel a little scared when she thought of everything that had happened today.

She sighed and thought that she had to tell James to be more careful in the future.

Although George had saved her today, Lucas might not take revenge in secret.

If he did anything to James, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

Just as she was thinking about whether she should call James to inform him, she heard the door open.

She was surprised to see James return.

“Why did you suddenly come back? I was just about to…”

“Oh…”

Before she could finish, she was pulled into James’ arms.

Sophia was a little confused.

James, what happened? He took the initiative to hug her?

“James? What’s wrong?”

Hearing Sophia’s concerned voice, James hugged Sophia’s arm even harder.

At this moment, he did not have any thoughts. He just wanted to hug Sophia tightly…

“Sophia, if there’s anything in the future, remember to discuss it with me, okay? You’re not allowed to put yourself in such a dangerous situation again.” James’s voice was no longer as cold as before.

Sophia could hear the concern in his voice.

But why did James say that?

Sophia suddenly became nervous. She hurriedly asked, “You, how did you know? Lucas went to find trouble with you?”

“No, don’t change the topic. Don’t do this again in the future. It’s too dangerous. If anything happens to you today, I’ll have to spend the rest of my life in guilt.”

As James spoke, he suddenly felt that he did not want to let go of Sophia anymore. He wanted to keep hugging her.

Moreover, if something really happened to Sophia today, he even felt that he would not be able to bear it.

How could something happen to such a beautiful woman!

Sophia did not know why he knew about this, but James’ behavior at the moment ….

She had clearly asked him if he liked her last time.

He did not answer.

No, I can’t ask anymore.

It was already very embarrassing last time.

Perhaps James just felt that the two of them were in a cooperative relationship, and nothing could happen to her during the period of cooperation.

However, he hugged her instead…

Hugging her didn’t mean anything. Even if his neighbor was in danger, he would still give him a hug when he showed concern.

Yes, that must be the case.

Thinking of this, Sophia suppressed the panic in her heart and gently pushed James away. She pretended to be relaxed and smiled. “What happened today was an accident. I didn’t expect that kind of thing to happen. I’ll be careful in the future.”

Pushing James away, their eyes met.

For a moment, the atmosphere was filled with awkwardness and ambiguity.

Sophia hurriedly turned around and went into the kitchen. She said in a panic, “I, I’ll cook.”

Seeing her at a loss, James smiled.

This woman was really interesting.

Looking at the woman’s busy figure in the kitchen, James knew that he couldn’t help much, so he turned around and went to the bedroom.

Sophia finally heaved a sigh of relief when she saw James leave.

He was sitting there, and she was under a lot of pressure.

Ding! Ding!

While Sophia was busy cooking, her phone suddenly rang.

He took a look and realized that it was Albert.

Sophia rolled her eyes and did not answer.

After hanging up, Sophia found a text message. She opened it and found that it was a transfer message.

Albert transferred a million dollars to her.

Albert called again.

Sophia frowned and picked it up.

On the other end of the phone, Albert’s voice was warm and excited. “Dear Sophia, Dad just transferred a million dollars to you. Did you receive it?”

“What do you mean?” Sophia no longer trusted Albert. Even if he made money for her, Sophia only felt that he was selling her money.

“Ahem, it’s nothing. I just feel that I owe you too much. Moreover, from what you said, the man you married doesn’t seem to treat you very well. He controls and restrains you in all sorts of ways. I gave you money because I hope that you won’t be bullied.”

“Besides, this is the property your mother left you. I thought about it and felt that I should give it to you.”

Sophia didn’t say anything, so Albert continued, “You’ve always misunderstood that I’m hogging your mother’s assets and not giving them to you. Actually, I’m worried that you’ll be cheated. I’m worried that you’ll end up with nothing. I didn’t expect that because of this, you would have a grudge against me.”

“As for the Maya Group, I promise you that this is definitely an accident. You saw it too. I asked the chairman of the Maya Group out at the beginning. Who knew that he had something to do at the last minute and called Lucas over…”

“Albert, stop acting! Just tell me, what are you planning this time?”

After the previous two incidents, Sophia would never trust Albert again.

However, the fact that he had transferred the money over was indeed a little suspicious.

The money-grubbing Albert had actually transferred the money to her just like that.

This didn’t make sense.

Could it be that Leighton’s cousin had sent a lawyer’s letter over?

Not really. If he suddenly received a lawyer’s letter, Albert would probably come to question him with a knife instead of transferring the money to him while pretending to be fatherly.

Albert sighed and said, “Sophia, I know that I’ve done a lot of things to make you sad in the past. I’m sorry, but …”

Sophia sneered when she heard that. She was finally going to tell him her motive!

She waited quietly on the other end of the phone. She wanted to see what made Albert transfer the 10,000 dollars to her so readily.

“But, but Daddy has flesh on both hands. Jessica is also Daddy’s biological daughter. You can’t force Daddy into a dead end.”

Albert’s voice was choked with emotion.

But in Sophia’s eyes, it was extremely ironic.

“I forced you?” she sneered. “Albert, do you know what you’re saying? Jessica occupied my house and my mother’s house, enjoying your infinite love, and I was beaten out of the house by you with a stick, and you even gave me as a gift to the Maya Group’s devil!”

“Are you saying that I forced you?” Sophia felt her blood freeze at this moment!

She really couldn’t understand how Albert could have the face to say something like that.

“Sophia, Dad …”

Dong dong dong!

Dong dong dong!

Albert was still talking when someone knocked on the door.

Sophia frowned and quickly hung up the phone. She stood behind the door and asked in a scared voice, “Who is it?”

“Sophia, open the door. It’s me. I’m being hunted! Open the door.”

“Don’t open it…”

A hurried and nervous woman’s cry for help came from the door. Sophia couldn’t think and opened the door.

James didn’t even have time to rush out of the room to stop her.

However, as soon as the door opened, a figure suddenly pounced on Sophia!

“Sophia, you vicious woman, I’m going to kill you!”
