I Ctrl+Alt+Deleted My Ex and Ctrl+C'd His Uncle novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119

He knew what Sophie wanted, and he was willing to help her fulfill that long–held wish.

So when the old master carried out the family punishment, Marcus didn’t utter a sound. He endured it willingly.

At the end, the old man handed the blood–stained whip to a servant, his voice heavy with meaning.

“Marcus, tell me the truth. You fired Liam, let the scandal spread everywhere, and then personally agreed to break off the engagement. Did all of this have anything to do with Sophie?”

“No!”

Marcus’s deep gaze masked the flicker of panic. “Father, I did all this for the Morgan family. It has nothing to do with Sophie.”

“It had better be that way.”

Marcus still remembered how he finally exhaled when the old man turned away.

Not far off, Lena stood outside the design department. When she saw Marcus, her eyes were filled with shock.

In her memory, Marcus was as terrifying as a demon from hell. How could such a man show tenderness–especially in front of Sophie?

She tiptoed, pulled out her phone, and snapped several pictures. Then she sent them anonymously to Liam.

Ever since the scandal had broken out, Liam had been avoiding her. Lena had come late at night to find him but had never imagined stumbling

upon such a shocking secret.

Marcus really had feelings for Sophie!

That lofty, untouchable man, revered like a god, actually had designs on his nephew’s ex–fiancée. If that news came out, it would be even juicier than their livestream scandal!

When Liam received the photos, he was at a bar drowning himself in alcohol. The moment he opened them, his pupils shrank in disbelief.

But within seconds, his shock twisted into rage.

Crash!

He hurled his phone to the ground, his face twisted with fury.

So the one Sophie was involved with wasn’t Zack at all–it was his uncle!

Well, well. Sophie dared to play him for a fool. How amusing.

Marcus didn’t know when he had dozed off, but when he woke, dawn was breaking. He was still sitting beside Sophie.

He rubbed his aching knee and forced himself to stand.

Picking up the suit jacket he had draped over her all night, he finally turned to leave.

Half–asleep, Sophie heard footsteps. Before she could open her eyes, she felt a cold hand brushing across her face.

Her whole body tensed, and she snapped fully awake.

Liam, reeking of alcohol, gazed at her with a look that carried a disturbing possessiveness.

“Sophie, you’ve got some nerve. Messing around with my uncle?”

He suddenly leaned forward, trapping her between his arms.

“Tell me–when did you two start?”

Every muscle in Sophie’s body went rigid. “Liam, this is the Morgan Group. There are cameras everywhere. Don’t you dare.”

“Dare?” Liam grabbed the back of her head, yanking her close until only inches separated them.

“How can it be wrong for me to still want my fiancée?”

With that, he forced a kiss.

Sophie turned her head, and his lips landed on her cheek instead.

The stench of liquor made her stomach churn, and his madness filled her with dread.

Before she could think of a way out, Liam clamped her chin in his fingers and leaned in again.

Sophie reacted instinctively, kneeing toward his most vulnerable spot.

But Liam was ready. He caught her ankle in one swift move.

“Sophie, if you’d shown this kind of wildness before, I would’ve taken you long ago.”

His eyes were glazed, his words dripping with menace.

Revulsion swept through Sophie, and she gagged uncontrollably.

Liam’s fingers traced over her stomach, his smile twisted. “For the child’s sake, let’s make up. I’ll forgive your betrayal and forget about you and my uncle. Let’s just be together like before. Okay?”

Sophie trembled all over, her eyes burning with disgust.

Before she could answer, Liam’s grip on her stomach tightened, as if he meant to claw the baby out of her.

Her abdomen clenched painfully as she tried to back away, but there was nowhere to go.

“Stop it, Liam!” Sophie’s voice was hoarse.

But Liam was like a man possessed, pressing harder and harder.

If this continued, the baby wouldn’t survive.

Sophie’s body snapped taut. Grabbing the stapler on the desk, she swung it hard at his head.

Bang!

The blow landed with a sickening crack. Blood poured down Liam’s face before he even realized what had happened.

He touched his head, staring at the crimson on his fingers, then staggered back in shock.

Seizing the moment, Sophie shoved him away and clutched her stomach as she ran.
