Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 191

"Well, I'll keep my mouth shut then. Dorothy, you can stay with your mom. I'll have a gentleman talk with Colin first." They seem to be a real family. Their interaction was admirable and it was obvious that they knew each other very well.

Colin handed over the present to Marcella and then went with Gregary to meet several businessmen.

As Sophia and Hugh were talking rather seriously with the general manager of Ji Clan, Colin and Gregary came over to them. They stood together in a circle.

"Are Mr. Pei and Mr. Li old friends? Looks to me as if you know each other pretty well." A new general manager from A Country asked them. Since he was new to the area, he doesn't know about their history just yet.

Colin and Hugh took a glance at each other. There was nothing but innocence in their eyes. "Yes. We've been friends for many years."

Hugh draped his arm around Colin's shoulder and said in a friendly way, "Yes. We're good friends!"

Deep down both of them, they were still good friends. Sophia was the only issue that separated them.

With a glass of red wine in her hand, Sophia lowered her head in embarrassment. She knew that she was the reason why Colin and Hugh had developed a gap from each other.

The general manager naively asked Hugh, "Mr. Pei, I find Miss Lo so brilliant and beautiful. She must be your girlfriend."

Well... Everyone in the circle were taken aback with the manager's words as they fell awkwardly silent. When Sophia raised her head, Hugh responded quickly, "Not yet. But I'm pursuing her!"

His response defused the awkward atmosphere. All of them burst into laughter. The general manager said in a more cheerful tone, "Mr. Pei, you should step up your game. Since Miss Lo is so beautiful, there must be many men pursuing her! That I'm sure!"

Sophia moved closer to Hugh and looked at the general manager with her signature lovely smile. "I'm flattered. Since Hugh has been so kind to me, I would probably be with him in the near future."

Her humorous yet ironic reply made people laugh again. People did not dare to mention anything about their past. Seeing that Sophia and Hugh have already developed an intimacy with each other, Gregary heaved a sigh of relief.

He would no longer worry about his assumption that Sophia would still pursue Colin.

Hugh grinned from ear to ear. Although he knew that Sophia was just making a scene, he was still very happy as he believed that his dream to be with her would eventually come true.

Colin bottomed up a glass of wine. Then Dorothy came out of nowhere and hooked her arm on his. "Colin, what are you talking about? You guys seem to be very happy and animated. I can't miss out on such happy moment."

When she saw that Sophia and Colin were happily talking in the same circle, Dorothy immediately came over, wary that the two would get close again.

The general manager didn't actually know about their relationship. He said, "Miss Lien, we're talking about the growing affection between Mr. Pei and Miss Lo. Their relationship is as good as you and Mr. Li's!"

His words made everyone glance at each other in secret. 'Were Colin and Dorothy really in good relationship? We could't see that. All we saw was a man forcing himself to marry a woman.' On the other hand, they knew so well that Colin and Sophia loved each other deeply three years ago. They wondered if that was still true up to this day...

Dorothy pretended to be suddenly enlightened and asked Sophia out of mere curiosity, "Colin and I will marry at the end of next month. What about Miss Lo and Mr. Pei? I believe it's already time that you two tie the knot."

"Maybe at the end of the year." Sophia answered. She glanced at Colin with such grace and calmness. Her eyes were like telling Colin that he would regret leaving her.

But Colin stayed still and did not even flinch when Sophia looked at him.

Dorothy nodded happily, like an innocent girl. Indeed, she was glad that Sophia had decided to move on from Colin. "Congratulations! Will you invite Colin and me to your wedding ceremony?"

"Of course! I'll personally send you the invitation! You have to be there!" Hugh replied. He felt Sophia's sadness and played along.

Later on, Sophia didn't listen anymore to what they were talking about. She was immersed in her own thoughts.

Though she knew Colin didn't love her anymore, she still wanted to make him jealous. How ridiculous she was! Why couldn't she just move on? She would just end up feeling empty.

As the dinner was about to be served, a woman suddenly appeared in the hall. Everyone looked at her as she handed over a big box to Marcella. "Excuse me, Mrs. Lien. Sorry to interrupt your party. This is a birthday present for you. Please sign it."

Perplexed, Marcella stared at the box. "Who sent it?"
