Her Divorce, His Downfall (Sophia and Damian) novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154

Leaning against the hospital bed, Damian lifted his eyes and asked in a low voice, “What else have you found out about my Uncle Julian?”

Meeting his gaze, Lucas continued to add, “Mr. Julian Hall’s whereabouts after returning to the country have been quite secretive. Apart from being captured on camera on the small path outside the warehouse that one time, there’s no trace of

him at other times.

“And Olivia, on the surface, she seems respectful and

considerate towards you. But in fact, she’s been trying to drive a wedge between Isabelle and you, making you scold Isabelle

because of her.

“Then there’s Sebastian. He deliberately abducted Isabelle, forcing you to participate in a race and get injured. Isabelle also broke three ribs that night. It seems they’re all targeting you and

Isabelle.”

Weston nodded and spoke in a low voice.

“Right! It’s obvious they’re going after Damian and Isabelle, wishing to kill them. But there’s one thing I can’t figure out. Why did Sophia agree to get engaged to your uncle?

“Could it be that she has feelings for Mr. Julian Hall? That’s11:31

impossible. There’s an eight–year age gap between them, and she’s always called him uncle. Unless they’ve reached some kind of agreement, making Sophia trust him and work towards a common goal together.

“Damian, think again. Is there anything special between Mr. Julian Hall and Sophia in the past? Other than him spoiling her.”

Hearing this, Damian frowned and lowered his eyes, lost in thought.

He still remembered that during their time studying in France, Julian would occasionally give Sophia small gifts. They weren’t particularly expensive but were very delicate and suited Sophia’s

taste.

Sophia also seemed to be very close and trusting towards Julian. She was more relaxed in front of him than in front of Damian.

Previously, he had just regarded it as the affection between an elder and a younger one. Now it seemed that perhaps Julian had secretly developed feelings for Sophia back then, or maybe even earlier.

Weston suddenly spoke up, pointing out a crucial point. “One more thing. Olivia’s appearance was quite close to the time when Mr. Julian Hall and Sophia returned to New York.

“Could she be a pawn in Mr. Julian Hall’s game? Is she here to provoke you or for some other purpose in Veridian Group? Surely she didn’t come to help you out of your depression?”

A low chuckle escaped Damian’s throat as soon as Weston finished speaking, piercing the sudden chill that had settled around the bed.

Damian looked up, his eyes filled with a bone–chilling coldness, and his voice was barely above a whisper.

“What do you think would happen when I was on the verge of a breakdown from losing Sophia and could only numb myself with alcohol, and suddenly a woman who looked and acted like her appeared?”

He paused for a moment, not waiting for Weston and Lucas to answer, and then directly gave the answer.

“It was simply adding fuel to the already precarious relationship between Sophia and me. They waited until I was at my most vulnerable and longing for Sophia, and then sent a stand–in right at me.

“A well–designed, tough young woman from a poor family who needed money and was working in a nightclub, arousing people’s infinite sympathy. The purpose was obvious: to seduce me and make me fall into the trap, and then…”

At this point, the coldness in his cold eyes was almost uncontrollable.

He said word by word, “Then, make me sleep with her.”

“What!” Weston and Lucas suddenly stiffened, their eyes full of shock.

“Is that even possible? He’s your own uncle. Why would he do this to you?” Lucas looked up, shocked.

Damian gritted his teeth, enduring the severe pain in his back. “Nothing’s impossible!”

“If I had slept with her, I wouldn’t just be shouldering the blame for the past ‘affair‘ with Isabelle. I’d be branded the man who sought comfort in a look–alike while his wife’s grave was still fresh.”

At this point, he suddenly looked at Weston and Lucas, his voice as cold as ice.

“If that happened, in Sophia’s eyes, I’d be completely dirty, rotten, and hopeless. There’d be no chance for me and her, Who would want a husband who can’t wait to find a stand–in to vent his desires when his ‘wife‘ has just passed away?”

A wry smile appeared on Damian’s face as he said desolately, “If hhad fallen for this trap, Sophia would never forgive 1 e. Neveð.2

“She has a zero–tolerance policy for flaws in her world. Love is absolute, and hatred is absolute. She once told me, ‘Anything tainted makes me sick.“”
