Chapter 123 Leila's Mother

Although Colin noticed Sophia's aversion, he trusted her.

"Okay. Let's go!" she said, deliberately yanking his arm.

"Have a good rest, granny, " said Colin, who tucked Renee tight into her bed. "We will visit you soon."

Together, Colin and Sophia left the hospital in Colin's car. Seeing that Sophia was texting, Colin shot a look at her and said, "Sophie?"

"Yes?" Startled, Sophia looked up.

"If there's something happening, just tell me, okay?" He was certain that Sophia was keeping something from him.

Sophia paused for a while, then said, "What if... I don't want to say anything at this moment?"

She didn't want to tell Colin what she was planning for yet, not until she succeeded.

Her words confirmed his suspicion. "It's okay, honey. But always remember that I am your husband. In your hour of need, you should come to me first."

Sophia remained quiet for a while, and nodded. "Sure." It was touching. Her eyes were filled with tears. Sophia leaned to Colin, and hugged him tightly.

Colin smiled, pressing his lips on her forehead.

They stopped at a restaurant for dinner and sat down at a table by the window. Colin leafed through a menu, while Sophia got up to go to the bathroom.

At the end of the corridor near the bathroom, a middle-aged woman in expensive clothes was talking on her phone. Accidentally, Sophia heard a familiar word, "Jay Lo..."

She paused. Was it a coincidence?

The woman suddenly turned her head. Her clownish makeup made her eyes look sharp.

Her lips were painted in the most popular maple-leaf red. She parted her lips and said, "Don't hurt So..." She stopped when their glances met.

As they exchanged a glance, Sophia saw contradictory feelings surged in the woman's eyes.

Confused, Sophia stole away. She didn't seem familiar. Plus, the woman struck Sophia as being very rich, which made it even more unlikely that Sop

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...

p. She shot a glance at Sophia, who was drinking lemonade at the table. "I thought you would take Leila as your wife. But, you crossed paths with Sophia I see. In that case, you should really call me aunt."

Aunt was the Chinese way of showing respect for an elderly woman. But they both knew it meant more. "If Sophie is willing to call you that, " Colin countered, "I will, too."

Hearing that, Sandra realized that Colin had led a thorough investigation about the Lo Clan. She sighed, "Don't tell her who I am. This is for her own good. And the culprit...Keep her away from whole plot. It wouldn't do her any good to know who the murderer is."

The perpetrators were exceedingly powerful, far beyond Sophia's reach. And if she intended a vendetta, it might cost her life.

Colin calmly answered, "I don't intend to keep her in the dark. And if necessary, I will aid her." He didn't want Sophia to live in hatred. And if she wanted to revenge for her parents' death, he would not sit idly by.

Sandra looked at him, but couldn't speak. She didn't know if Colin's love for Sophia was a good thing or a bad thing.

"You'll get involved! Joining together, the Pei Clan and the Lien Clan could be the worst enemy in the world!" Even she was on their side...
