Brian became flustered. Miss Winter, please don’t cry. No one’s going to let you die, so please don’t cry

Sophia looked at him through her tearfilled eyes. But you came to save me. What if you hadn’t? I really would have died!” 

Brian stammered, Uhwell, I” 

Sophia tightened her grip on his arm., Will you help me? I really don’t want to die” 

Brian remained silent for a long moment before asking, Miss Winter, what do you want to do?” 

A faint glint of triumph flashed in Sophia’s eyes.before she quickly replied, Will you protect me?” 

Brian frowned. No, I only take orders from Mr. Tudor.” 

Sophia’s face fell as she lowered her head. But if you don’t protect me, I’ll end up dead. She’s going to kill me because I took Lucas away” 

Brian furrowed his brows, sensing something wasn’t right. After another long pause, he said, Let methink about it, okay? Besides, Miss Winter, this place isn’t safe. Let me take you home first.” 

Sophia nodded. Okay.” 

The car drove away

Meanwhile, on a narrow road under the night sky, Russell’s fingers drummed lightly on the steering wheel as he looked at Aveline with interest. You saw everything, didn’t you?” 

Aveline appeared somewhat dazed. I did” 

Russell continued, He always had someone follow you. He knew you wouldn’t let Sophia off, so he timed it perfectly to rescue her tonight.” 

He kept his gaze fixed on Aveline. Aveline, to him, Sophia is the most important person.” 

Aveline’s eyelashes trembled slightly before she responded, Well, that has nothing to do with me

She and Lucas were divorced. Whatever he chose to do was no longer her concern

Russell, however, continued to watch her closely. Are you sure? Now that you know the truth, are you really not hurt? Not even a little?” 

Aveline pressed her lips together before turning to him. Russ, did you know all along that Brian was following me?” 

Yes.Russell nodded. Mason told me. Those two have been watching over you, reporting anything suspicious directly to me.” 

Aveline looked at him quietly. So, you deliberately let me see this scene?” 

Russell responded, It makes no sense to hide it from you, only for you to discover the truth laterthat would’ve been even harsher.” 

Aveline was speechless for a moment
