If Michael dared to have Sophia by his side, he must have investigated her background, including the part where her future was almost ruined after someone framed her and her textbook-like scumbag of an ex-boyfriend.
However, it intrigued him even more. If I can convince her to lower her guard and accept me with her scarred heart, what an accomplishment that will be! I will protect her forever and use my gentle hand to touch her heart so that it won’t be scarred again.
Sophia remained asleep during the return journey home. When Michael threw her on the bed, she opened her eyes slightly and saw the two big eels Michael reared in the fish tank. She was so scared that she sat up immediately.
He knew that she was tired, so he decided not to torture her any longer. “I have something else to do tonight. Remember to change your tampon before returning to sleep.”
The schoolwork at Bayside University had drained her—it was as busy as her final year in high school. She was so busy that she barely had time to rest during the day.
She left home early and returned late everyday, so she really wanted to search for a house near campus, but was also afraid that Michael would insist on living with her. That will be embarrassing. News about me being a married woman will definitely be exposed sooner or later.
On the other side, the Harper Family was in utter despair.
Kayla’s lawsuit became a problem for them because the attorney representing the plaintiff was Mr. Fields.
The first verdict had already been given—Kayla was ordered to apologize to Sophia and pay a compensation of 5 million to her for mental damages.
5 million was nothing for the Harper Family, but how could Kayla, the precious daughter of the Harper Family, admit to the public that she had framed a poor student like Sophia, seeing that they had to protect their reputation?
However, the opponent was coming at them in full force because they had the best attorney in Bayside City to defend them—Calvin Fields!
Mr. Fields was a notorious attorney and the so-called elite attorney that the Harpers engaged was no match for him. He lost after only two rounds, causing him to withdraw without collecting the agency fees.
Now, they were unable to engage an attorney who was willing to take on this case because when all of the attorneys heard that their opposing counsel was Mr. Fields, they rejected the case immediately.
By the looks of it, they could only ask Kayla to apologize to Sophia and pay the compensation.
Ever since the first judgment had been handed down, Kayla lacked the courage to go to school for the past few days, so she stayed at home and smashed things in her rage. “I’ve said it. I didn’t do it! I didn’t frame that b*tch. She was the one who framed me!”
In Harper’s Mansion, Kayla was angrily smashing everything that she could get her hands on. Even the female helper who came to clean up the mess was terrified by Kayla’s hideous and angry face, so she stood aside motionlessly and allowed the latter to continue smashing things.
Mrs. Harper advised her daughter. “Kayla, you need to calm down. It’s just an apology…”
“No way. I will not apologize to that b*tch!” Kayla’s eyes were reddened like an angry, grotesque beast with messy hair. If she actually admitted to her wrongdoings, she foresaw spending the rest of her days in school being despised by everyone.
However, Mrs. Harper still tried her best at persuasion. “Kayla, you need to listen to me. It’s almost your 19th birthday. Why don’t I plan an unprecedented birthday party for you? You can celebrate your birthday in a glorious fashion so that those haters will shut up!”
“I don’t want to! I don’t want to! I don’t want to!” Kayla screamed before she continued to smash anything that she saw.
Then, Richard and Xyla also came to persuade her.
After his genuine confession, the ‘considerate’ Xyla still chose to be together with him. Even though she knew in her heart that Sophia was still in his heart, she was still willing to be with him—even though that meant being the mistress.
Therefore, how could Richard abandon such a ‘kind’ girl like Xyla?
Just like that, both of them reconciled and as the future daughter-in-law of the Harper Family, Xyla had already won over Mrs. Harper’s heart.
