That bitch Sophia must be having a rough time with Mr. He. Dorothy felt very pleased at the thought that Sophia was being fucked by that disgusting man.
Payne took a drink from the glass his wife offered.
Bang! The door was slammed open. Frightened by the loud sound, Dorothy let go of the wine glass, and it fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.
Upon recognizing the person who entered, Dorothy didn't dare lose her temper. "Mr. Li, what brings you here?"
Looking grave, Colin strode into the room and seized Dorothy by the collar, pulling her up from the sofa.
"Mr. Li... What are you doing?" Payne grabbed Colin at once. Dorothy was too distressed to say a word.
Colin looked at Dorothy furiously, "Didn't I tell you not to go after Sophia?"
Although Payne was puzzled, he still held her wife cautiously, "Mr. Li, there must be some misunderstanding! Isn't Sophia in Z Country? We've been in C Country the whole time."
"Dorothy, why did you ask Sophia for 3 million?" Paying no attention to Payne, Colin continued interrogating Dorothy, who was choking from his grasp.
Dorothy shook her head, and flustered, "She... She was willing to... sleep with that man!"
Payne tried to help her out. "Mr. Li, Sophia's just a wanton woman. You don't need to get worked up over her. Dorothy is pregnant, Mr. Li. How about letting her down now?"
Hearing that, Colin gradually loosened his hold on the suffocating Dorothy. He didn't need to flare up because of Sophia, she's just a wanton woman!
When the grip on Dorothy relaxed, she gasped for air.
Colin was really a formidable man!
"Why did Sophia come here?" Colin didn't trust her easily.
Dorothy's eyes flashed nervously. She was considering if she should tell the truth, when Payne asked her in surprise, "Did you meet Sophy?"
Sophy, Sophy, Sophy! Dorothy hated her husband for calling that woman so intimately!
"Sophia is short on money, so she asked me to set her up with some men!"
Colin believed her, because Sophia had asked him to borrow some money. Colin didn't refuse Sophia, but Sophia hung up without giving an explanation.
When she was unable to get money from him, Sophia went to... sleep with men for money?
But why would Sophia ask Dorothy to arrange it for her? Colin doubted this.
"Dorothy, the contract with the Lien Group only needs my signature. What if I tell Mr. Lien that there was a problem with you..."
Dorothy shivered with fear, she had to tell him the truth, "It's... for Aaron. She needs the money to get Aaron back."
With those distant eyes, no one could tell what Colin was thinking of.
"She needs 3 million to redeem Aaron?" Colin wouldn't be distracted so easily.
Dorothy thought fast. She nodded, but then shook her head. "No, she only needs 300, 000 to redeem Aaron. She must've wanted keep the rest for herself!"
Wade told Colin that Dorothy took Aaron back for 300, 000. Colin believed Dorothy and let her go.
On wobbly legs, Dorothy sank into the sofa behind her.
"Here's 500, 000. Now, send Aaron to this address." Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Colin warned her harshly, "Ms. Lien, are you trying to destroy the Lien Group?"
If he wanted to, he could knock down the Lien Group completely.
Dorothy shook her head at once. Without the Lien Group, she would live on nothing. "Mr. Li, I understand!"
After Colin left, Dorothy felt her heart beating violently and gasped for air.
Dorothy couldn't understand how Colin could be so harsh. She clearly remembered her elder brother saying that Colin was a gentleman...
Payne blamed Dorothy, "Is Sophia in A Country now?"
