Just as the man was about to kick Sophia, he was stopped. Sophia thought that someone came to save her. So, she hurriedly crawled over.
"Help me! Help me! I am wrongly accused by them." Sophia crawled over and hugged the man's leg.
"Really? How are you wrongly accused? Just say it. I will see if I can do anything for you!" the man had a charming voice. But the two men were all standing in the doorway and Sophia couldn't see their faces clearly.
"I was kidnapped here. They forced me to admit what I hadn't done. I'm so upset. I haven't eaten for days. Please save me." Sophia placed all her hopes on the man who came later.
If she had known what would happen next, she might have been angry with her current behavior.
"Why should I save you? Give me a good reason." The man continued speaking to Sophia.
"Because I'm the second daughter-in-law of the Carter family. I am not short of money! If you save me, I'll pay you." Sophia thought for a while. That seemed to be all she could offer now.
"Come on. The second daughter-in-law of the Carter family? Your husband has absconded with money. How much money do you have? I admire some members of the Carter family, such as Richard and Amy. But you? You even can't tie my laces. Andy, I think you will be tired if you beat her. Why don't we let her slap herself?" Kingsley said to the cool Andy.
"Kingsley, I have wondered when you become so nice. It turns out you're even crueler than me. I'd like to see what you want to do." Andy looked at Sophia teasingly.
"There is a bun. Smell it." Kingsley put a bun in front of Sophia. Sophia smelled it like a dog. This bun was offered by Starway Hotel. In R City, only the buns made by this hotel smelled like this.
"It smells good, right? Would you like to eat it?" Kingsley said to Sophia.
"Yes! I want to eat it. Give it to me! I'm starving to death." Sophia looked at Kingsley pitifully, thinking that Kingsley would give the bun to her.
"I can give it to you. But you have to do one thing. I can even give you a few more. Do you see this milk? I can also give it to you." Kingsley stood up and looked at Sophia arrogantly.
"What is it? Just say it. I can do anything for you." Sophia was willing to do anything for the buns. She also liked the delicious milk.
"Then slap yourself twenty times. I want to hear clearly. After you do it, I will give you ten buns and a glass of milk." Kingsley waved the things in his hand in front of Sophia.
Sophia smelled the smell and felt even hungrier. But she was the second daughter-in-law of the Carter family. She didn't want to slap herself.
"You've gone too far. It is okay if you don't give me food. Why do you have to let me slap myself?" Sophia said angrily to Kingsley.
"You really have backbone. Alright. Forget it. Anyway, I will eat this bun myself if no one want to eat it. Andy, just do what you want to do. I will not stop you." Kingsley then stood aside and was ready to watch the show.
