< Her Divorce, His Downfall

Chapter 26

Michael stared at Sophia’s paper-white face, the stark red blood on her lips.

A flicker of panic crossed his mind, but it was quickly smothered by his desperate need to save Isabelle.

He took a deep breath, forcing his voice to sound steady.

“Since the settlement letter got dirty, we’ll just sign a new one.”

Without hesitation, he pulled another printed settlement letter from his briefcase and held it out to Sophia. Then nodded at the bodyguards. Do it again.

Sophia froze, her body trembling uncontrollably. The air around her felt glacial. She couldn’t breathe.

The two bodyguards exchanged glances, barely believing their own,ears.

Now he wanted them to rough up a patient?

They were scared of killing her. They hesitated.

“Mr. Anderson, Ms. Sophia Anderson just coughed up so much blood. If we go again… her body might not take it.”

Michael stared at the wall, lost in thought. A few seconds passed.

“Isabelle can’t last another day in detention. It’s fine. My daughter can handle it.”

But the bodyguards looked at Sophia’s deathly pale face and wavered.

Just then, the Anderson family lawyer called. Isabelle was on a hunger strike. When the hell were they getting that forgiveness letter?

Rhea’s eyes went red instantly, tears streaming as she looked at Michael.

. Michael gritted his teeth, eyes squeezed shut in agony.

“Do it.

Sophia was so weak she looked like a broken doll with the soul ripped out. She didn’t even have the strength to curse them anymore.

Her bloodshot eyes fixed on Michael with pure hatred, as if she wanted to burn him alive.

Michael looked away, guilt written all over him. He couldn’t meet her eyes.

He was afraid that one more second of eye contact would break his resolve, but his other daughter was waiting for him to save her.

Sophia coughing up blood? She could recover with rest. But if Isabelle got a criminal record?

Her reputation among the elite families would be destroyed. No prestigious family would ever accept her again.

And the Wilsons? They’d break off the engagement in a heartbeat.

The scandal on Elaine’s death anniversary-Isabelle and Ramian trending together—had already pissed off the

Wilson elders.

So this time, no matter what, he had to protect Isabelle.

He’d spoiled her rotten since she was a kid. She’d grown up willful and arrogant. Who else besides him would put up with her endless bullshit?

The bodyguards moved forward on his command. Just as they grabbed Sophia’s weak wrists again—

“Stop!”

A furious roar exploded from the doorway.

Damian, who had been coldly watching from outside the window, finally couldn’t take it anymore. He slammed the door open and stormed in.

He strode forward, knocked the bodyguard’s hands away, and pulled the weak Sophia into his arms. His gaze cut toward Michael like a blade of ice.

. “Dad, enough! Sophia just got out of surgery. You can’t

force her like this.”

Rhea shrank back, hiding behind Michael in fear.

Damian’s chest heaved. He stared at the bloodstained

settlement letter on the floor.

Rage burned through his gut.

He’d thought Sophia would cave eventually. Listen to Michael

Who knew she would be so stubborn, coughing up blood rather than sign?

No matter how much he wanted to save Isabelle, he couldn’t just stand by and watch Sophia be treated like

this.

Damian couldn’t wrap his head around it. How could

someone be this stubborn?

“Sophia can’t take any more stress! If you force her to sign like this and word gets out, it’ll destroy both the Hall and Anderson reputations.”

His voice came out rough, strained-tangled with gmotions he couldn’t name.

Sophia laughed bitterly.

Of course.
