Michael finished his meal without saying another word before he entered his study.
Seizing the opportunity, Sophia asked Nathan, “Did you snitch on us?”
Nathan rolled his eyes and replied, “Don’t you realize that my Mom will send me here whenever she’s going to have a fight outside?”
Only then did Sophia realize what was going on.
Having learned about it, Sophia patted her forehead. I’m too careless!
Indeed, there was something wrong with the atmosphere at home after dinner. Even though everyone still watched TV together after dinner, nobody dared to say a word.
Sophia was also in a dilemma, but she had to join this time’s fight no matter what.
Rosie and her people had left seven cigarette burns on her back. Even though she had gotten the scars removed via laser surgery afterward, she still remembered these scars; she even kept these scars’ positions in mind.
She remembered everything clearly, including the seven cigarette burns, the two instances where her leg was broken, and that particular night when she was forced to jump into the river to save her own life…
This will be the last time I act wilfully. After beating them up tomorrow, I’ll wash my hands of this and never fool around outside with Celine again.
With that thought in her mind, she grew confident as she believed that justice was on her side.
It was already 10.00 PM when they finished watching TV. Since it was time to sleep, Sophia went back to her room.
Suddenly, Michael beckoned to her. “Come here, chica.”
This was the first sentence Michael had said to her after dinner. Despite her heavy heart, Sophia walked toward Michael upon hearing his words.
She knew that Michael probably wanted to persuade or scold her, but she was determined to go…
Michael entered the cloakroom without saying a word, and Sophia followed suit.
Michael’s cloakroom could be compared to a small department store with its ample space and superb collection of clothes and accessories.
Having entered the cloakroom on this day, Michael stood in front of the rack where the watches were displayed. After pressing a button, the display rack split in two, revealing a secret room inside.
Sophia’s eyes widened in astonishment when she saw the secret room. Displayed inside were several firearms and cold weapons—there were boxing gloves, cudgels, brass knuckles, light submachine guns, and smoke grenades…
Michael entered the secret room with Sophia behind him. Her eyes shone with amazement as she looked left and right at the weapons displayed.
Michael opened a glass box using his handprint; inside the box was a golden vest.
He took out the vest and handed it to Sophia. He said, “This is an ‘impenetrable armor’ that I ordered to be custom-made. It can’t be penetrated by ordinary cold weapons, but every inch of it costs a lot. It’s expensive, so wear it only when you really need it.”
Sophia took the impenetrable armor from him with a dumbfounded expression on her face. Is this for me?
Following that, Michael took out a black skin-tight battle suit and said, “This is bulletproof and tear-resistant. The first thing that comes to a person’s mind when fighting with women is to tear their clothes, but this suit can’t be torn. It’s also comfortable to wear in the summer since it dissipates heat quickly.”
Huh?!
Michael took out a lot of equipment continuously. “This is a brass knuckle; it protects your hand and hurts your opponent a lot when you punch them. This electric rod will inflict severe pain and render one unable to fight for 30 minutes upon touching the human body; use it with your insulated skin-tight battle suit. This is a teeth protector; it can be used to protect your teeth.”
Holding the pile of equipment in her hands, Sophia was puzzled for a while before she realized what was going on. Michael knew that he couldn’t stop her, so he decided to find some better equipment for her instead. That way, she wouldn’t be at a disadvantage when fighting outside.
Sophia’s eyes gleamed as she stared at the tall figure standing before her eyes. Indeed, my hubby is the best!
The more Michael acted like this, the more guilty Sophia felt. She swore inwardly, This is definitely the last time! I’ll make sure to be a dutiful wife, loving mother, noble lady, and socialite after this—I’ll never fight again! I’ll fight just this once! Just once is enough for me!
What?! Is Michael actually here?!
