In less than three minutes, everybody had left the office. But Aaron and Sophia stayed behind.
Sophia finally recovered from her shock and slowly stood up, "Wait a minute. I'm going to wash my face first. Thank you for being here with me, brother."
Aaron's rage was completely gone from his face, and he nodded gently. "Okay. Take your time. I'll be waiting here."
Sophia Lo entered the restroom, tidied herself up, and splashed some cold water on her face. Still, she felt some pain lingering on her face.
When she got out, Aaron had already cleaned up her office which was in a total mess just moments ago. Sophia was surprised on how his brother could do all these things in the manner he was capable of.
"Sophia, I will take you to the hospital. You need a doctor to check up on you." Aaron approached Sophia and looked at her worriedly.
Sophia thought that she had gone back to her past. She could still remember how fondly she would look at her little brother back then.
Sophia shook her head lightly, "I'm fine. But, why did you come back all of a sudden? You didn't even inform us that you're coming." They casually sat on the couch.
"I wanted to surprise you. Though, it turned out I was the one surprised by all these." Aaron already informed his sister about his plans of coming back. But, he never said that it would be today. He wanted to surprise her.
As soon as he got off the plane, Aaron didn't waste any more time and went straight to Pei Group. He called Sophia on the phone outside the Pei Group headquarters. However, he unexpectedly heard his sister screaming for help.
He hurriedly went upstairs with several security guards. Sure enough, Sophia was in trouble.
Sophia sighed heavily, "Aaron, you just came back. Before you thought of doing all those things earlier, you should have analyzed what will the consequences be. Especially on you, brother."
Aaron thought otherwise. He comforted Sophia and reassured her, "Sister, don't worry about me. I could handle myself. I should have kicked her harder." He should have had that woman disappear right here and right now. He knew that a woman like that would not stop causing trouble if she had the chance. However, he didn't do that, because that would also spell trouble for his sister.
Besides, he didn't want to disappoint Colin. Aaron would not do anything that Colin didn't allow him to do.
"When will you start working? Have you told Colin about this change in your post?" Sophia asked him casually.
"Yes, I have told him. But, my brother-in-law said I should follow him first and do what I'm told. As for the post, it doesn't matter." Aaron replied honestly.
Sophia sighed again. "Aaron, you know I already divorced Colin a long time ago. We're not together anymore. He's not your brother-in-law any longer."
Aaron pretended to agree with her and just nodded, "I know. Although I have gotten used to calling him that way. I'll try to adjust next time around." However, Sophia found out later that Aaron still called Colin brother-in-law. Despite her protests, Aaron still remained loyal to Colin.
At the Chengyang Private Hospital
Marcella worriedly looked at the swelling face of her daughter, and almost cried out in distress. "My dear baby, how could you be beaten so badly? It distresses me greatly. Who could have done this horrible thing to you?"
Dorothy sat up on the bed, and looked back at her mother. She felt so humiliated right now. "Dad, mom, it was Sophia and Aaron. They worked together to put me in such humiliation!" She exclaimed loudly, obviously in so much emotional pain. She continued, "Dad, you can't let them go unpunished. They deserve to rot in prison!"
Gregary's face instantly turned pale. He rubbed his hands together continuously behind his back as his thoughts absorbed him. He said, "Have Aaron come back? I didn't know about that."
Jonas ordered people to go to England and kill Aaron. To their shock, Aaron killed them all and escaped. They never knew he had the ability to do that. So, Aaron had been living an industrious life in England in the past few years. He may had learned the tricks of the trade while living there.
"You are right, dad. Aaron hit me on the face. He also kicked me hard. He was merciless!"
"He's not a man at all. How could he think of hitting a woman? He and Sophia are really birds of the same feather. They are both cold-blooded killers!" Marcella angrily blurted out.
Gregary turned serious and asked, "What about Colin? What was he doing recently?"
