“Sophie, stop hiding. You did it now you’re afraid people will find out?”

Nina held her phone in one hand and grabbed Sophie’s arm with the other, refusing to let her avoid the camera.

Sophie yanked her hand free, “Before I lose my patience, you’d better back offf”

“Oh? Still so tough even now? Let me tell you, the police will be here soon. You can look forward to rotting in a cell! Go ahead, hit me if you dare!”

“Shut up!”

Sophie’s cold glare and commanding presence made Nina falter. For a split second, fear crept into her chest.

But why? Sophie was already on the verge of being hauled off to prison–why should she still act so arrogant?

Nina quickly grabbed Sophie’s wrist again, ready to speak, when Chris stepped out of the elevator.

Nina’s eyes lit up. “Mr. Chris, perfect timing. Sophie attacked Mr. Liam–let’s drag her straight to the police!”

Sophie shook Nina off. “Mr. Chris, I was acting in self–defense. Please help me pull the surveillance footage.”

With the cameras, even if she ended up at the police station, the truth would be clear.

“Ms. Chandler, Mr. Morgan wants to see you.” Chris gestured politely toward the elevator.

Sophie was surprised, but she stepped inside.

Could it be that before handing her over to the police, Marcus intended to pass judgment first?

Behind her, Nina turned her phone camera toward Sophie’s back and sneered to Lena on the other end of the call.

“See that? Mr. Morgan already called her in. This time she’s done for!”

“Stop it, Nina. Where’s my brother? Tell me how he is right now!” Lena’s voice was anxious.

Nina suddenly remembered. She spun toward Liam.

By then, colleagues had helped Liam to his feet. Blood streamed down his head, but he was still alert.

Nina handed him the phone. “Mr. Liam, Lena’s really worried about you.”

Liam took the phone–and immediately ended the call.

“I know you and Lena are close, but from now on, keep my business to yourself.”

Though he was smiling, Nina felt a chill race down her spine.

She nodded nervously, not daring to meet his eyes again.

The elevator reached the top floor. Chris led Sophie into the office and left.

Chapter 120

Marcus lounged on the sofa, his black suit framing his long legs, his posture casual yet commanding.

Sophie’s fingers tightened at her sides. She spoke bluntly.

“Mr. Morgan, I struck Liam because he tried to assault me. He even went after my baby. I acted in self defense. There are cameras everywhere–l wasn’t in a blind spot. The footage will prove everything.

“I understand the injured party comes first, but I stand by my defense. Whether you want to handle this privately or publicly, I-”

“Are you afraid?” Marcus’s low voice cut in, his gaze locking on her eyes.

Sophie’s chest tightened. For a moment, her nose burned as if she might cry.

She inhaled deeply, suppressing the fear, and forced a steady tone.

“He should be the one afraid.”

Marcus’s eyes darkened. “You’re right.”

“How many days do you want him in the hospital?”

Sophie blinked, stunned. She didn’t understand what he meant.

“Since you won’t decide, I’ll decide for you.”

Marcus patted the spot beside him, motioning her over.

As soon as she sat, he took her hand.

“Mr. Morgan, you-”

A sharp sting shot through her palm.

She looked down and realized the base of her thumb had been cut, a wound she hadn’t even noticed.

How had Marcus known?

“Full coverage. No blind spots,” he said flatly.

Sophie understood instantly–he had already reviewed the surveillance and knew exactly what had happened.

“So if you already know, does that mean you’ll call the police?” she asked carefully.

She knew she was in the right, but if she got dragged into an investigation, gossip would spread like wildfire. She didn’t want her family worrying.

“If the police were coming, they’d be here already.”

Marcus lifted his gaze. “The Morgan Group won’t let Liam cause another scandal.”

Relief washed over Sophie. Her body finally loosened.

“In that case, I’ll get back to work.” She rose to leave.

As she turned, her leg brushed Marcus’s knee.

It was just a light touch, but his face tightened instantly.

Sophie frowned. “Mr. Morgan, you’re injured?”

For Marcus to flinch like that, it had to be serious.

His eyes darkened, his voice hoarse. “It’s nothing.”

Sophie crouched to check, but he caught her wrist.

“You should go.”

She froze, a pang of bitterness in her chest.
