Sophia's idea of asking other men for help enraged Colin.
"Sophia, who do you think is willing to help you besides me?"
... Sophia held the mobile phone tightly and said nothing.
Maybe she thought highly of herself. Herring was neither her relative nor her friend. Why would he lend her that much money? Hugh... She probably couldn't contact him at all.
"I see. Thank you, Colin. I'm sorry for bothering you, goodbye!" Sophia endured the pain in her heart and was ready to hang up the phone.
Her last hope shattered. Sophia stood blankly in the middle of the bedroom.
"What do you want the 3 million for?" Colin interjected quickly, preventing her from hanging up.
Sophia was hesitant to tell him about her brother. Colin had helped her take care of her father and even sent for a specialist...
"I have a friend who needs it." She lied because she didn't want to trouble Colin anymore, she was afraid that... he disliked her.
"Which one?" Colin asked her to elaborate.
Sophia couldn't tell, and was ready to hang up again. "No one, just an old friend. I'm sure you're busy, Mr. Li! Don't worry about it."
Sophia hurriedly disconnected the call, a drop of tear slipping from her eye. She felt hopeless. There was a chance to save her brother, but it was in vain.
Painfully closing her eyes, Sophia made a decision. To save her brother, she had to be brave and sleep with someone...
Wiping away her tears, Sophia took her handbag and quickly walked out of the Li Villa.
Having forgotten to borrow a car from Colin, Sophia could only leave the Li Villa on foot.
Colin stared at his phone in annoyance.
When the car drove into Li Manor, Wade noticed a figure on the side of the road, "Mr. Li, isn't that Mrs. Li?"
Colin looked up. Indeed, the woman walking briskly outside was Sophia.
Where was she going, so late at night?
The car passed by Sophia. Deep in worry thinking about her brother, she didn't notice a car turning around to keep up with her.
After a long walk, Sophia made a private car from her mobile phone and rushed to the place that Dorothy told her.
At the Age Bar
Sophia went directly to the second floor and knocked on the door of Room 221.
Pushing the door open, Sophia saw Dorothy sitting inside. She was well-dressed, with five or six bodyguards around her.
Sophia felt a little anxious when she didn't see Aaron.
Dorothy gave her a sidelong glance. Parting her lips gracefully, she said, "Don't worry. Give me the 3 million, then you can see Aaron!"
Sophia bit her lower lip in silence. "I don't have..."
"No?" Dorothy looked Sophia in the eye and gloated, "Well, then. Mr. He, the general manager of Runchang Enterprise, is in the next room. If you spend the night with him, I will release your brother tomorrow morning!"
Mr. He is a prodigal son infamous for abusing women. Practically none of the women who got in his bed got out unharmed.
Sophia closed her eyes. "Dorothy, I can write you a promissory note. I can even pay you interest!"
Dorothy enjoyed seeing Sophia so distressed, and refused her request after a hearty laugh.
Sophia paused. "Let me see my brother first!"
Dorothy didn't reject her request this time. She gave one of the bodyguards a look, and he went out of the private room.
