Leila was not only a celebrity, but also an heiress of a powerful family. The Ji Clan has great power in A Country, and Leila's father is a senior official in the army. Who the hell would dare to take advantage of her?
Sophia didn't think Colin would believe Leila.
But she hated seeing him hold Leila in his arms.
"Mr. Ji, find these two men. I'll handle the rest." Colin ordered, without turning his head.
Wade nodded. "Yes, Mr. Li." Taking out his phone, he walked out of the room to start dealing with it.
"Thank you, Colin." Leila buried her face into Colin's chest.
"Don't mention it, Leila. Let me take you home."
Colin tried to pull her away from his arms, but Leila shook her head.
"I don't want to go back home. I want you to stay with me for a while. I've never met such men before... They were so disgusting. I felt like throwing up." Leila spoke in a soft and pleading tone, that even Sophia found it hard to refuse her.
What was she supposed to do? Was she here to witness her husband and his childhood sweetheart's unchanged love?
Colin had managed to put her back onto the sofa. Turning to Sophia, he said, "Come here, you're both women, you would know how to comfort each other. Comfort Leila for a while."
Sophia was speechless.
She'd rather jump out of the window instead.
Did she look she had anything in common with Leila? He actually expected her to be kind and comforting to her husband's childhood sweetheart? Colin knew exactly how to torture her.
But to prevent Leila from jumping into her husband's arms to start weeping again, Sophia would do it for Colin's sake.
Sophia walked to her, but Leila didn't even look at Sophia. Turning to Colin with tears in her eyes, she said, "Colin, I'm not familiar with Sophia. I want you to comfort me."
Sophia couldn't say a word. For a moment, she felt like that she was one of Leila's crazy fans, who wanted to please her but was heartlessly refused.
Colin felt a headache. "Leila, let's go home."
How could a woman in her late 20s behave like a child?
Sophia was furious with Leila. Didn't she know that Colin was already married? Couldn't she see his wife standing beside him? How dare she interact with Colin so shamelessly... acting like a spoiled child.
Before Leila could answer, Sophia said, "Colin, you can call Mr. Ji back. He's been married to his wife for many years. He should be more experienced than you in handling such matters."
Colin pondered on this, but refused. If Wade had been able to comfort her, they wouldn't have needed to come all this way.
"No, I'll talk to Leila." Colin sat beside Leila and patted her back. "Don't cry, Leila. As soon as the perpetrators are caught, I'll have them tied them up and brought to you. You can do whatever you want to them."
Leila leaned her forehead against his chest and sobbed. "Okay."
"Good girl. Now let's go home."
What the hell? Sophia gritted her teeth. Did he always talk to Leila like that? Colin has never talked to her that way!
"Colin, I'm leaving. Are you coming with me or not?"
Sophia was outraged. Sensing her fury, Colin stood up from the sofa. But Leila grabbed his coat and pulled him back. "Five minutes, Colin. Could you stay with me for five more minutes?"
Leila didn't even glance at Sophia, and talked to only Colin the whole time.
Thinking Leila was agreeing to leave, Colin nodded and turned to Sophia. "Let's wait. Come and sit with me for a while."
