Chapter 152 A Woman This Brilliant Should Belong Only to Him

That look in his eyes one she had always chased alter, but never once possessed.

Lena Morgan’s fingers clenched tight against the fabric of her white dress, crumpling the smooth folds into sharp creases.

“Liam… if Sophie were still the nobody she used to be, would you still have fallen for her?”

The words slipped from her lips before she realized it, and even she was startled once they hung in the air.

Why had she let her true thoughts escape?

A flicker of impatience passed through Liam’s eyes, his brows knitting together.

“Lena, what’s the point of these ridiculous fantasies?”

“I knew Sophie was extraordinary long ago. Why else do you think I had to have her?”

“There are countless noble families in Riverland. Any marriage alliance could have secured me a stronger foothold in Morgan Group. Why do you think I chose Sophie?”

A cold laugh escaped him, and beneath his false mask, for once, a trace of genuine emotion showed.

Perhaps even Sophie herself never believed it–back then, Liam had truly felt something for her.

But under the weight of ambition, even those delicate feelings had been twisted beyond recognition.

He had suppressed her, belittled her, stripped away her brilliance, until she seemed ordinary–just like him.

For years, no one remembered Sophie as the Chandler family’s daughter. Everyone only knew her as Liam’s pathetic shadow.

No one remembered that she had once been the most outstanding design student at Riverland University, her projects causing a stir in the entire design world.

Even fewer knew that, despite setting her career aside for years, Sophie had reemerged under the pen name Liora, sweeping international

awards with ease.

The more Sophie shone, the more twisted Liam’s urge became to smother her light.

A woman this brilliant should belong only to him. She should be chained at his side like a dog.

Now, the higher Sophie climbed, the more ferocious his possessiveness grew.

Lena had never seen that expression on Liam’s face before.

To her, Liam had always been calculating, yes–but at heart, still gentle.

But now, he was like a venomous snake, lurking in the dark, damp and cold. Once touched, it would consume you whole.

“Lena.”

When he called her name, his voice softened again, gentle as ever.

“I will spend this life with Sophie. I like obedient girls. Don’t waste your thoughts on anything else, understand?”

A chill ran down Lena’s spine. She darted her gaze away, flustered.

“Of course, Liam. I won’t ever come between you and Sophie again.”

“I knew you’d be my good girl.”

Liam raised his hand to stroke her head, but Lena flinched Instinctively.

Since Marcus’s return. Liam had turned all the cruel tricks Marcus once used against him onto Lena instead.

The wounds were tiny, almost invisibile, never enough to cause lasting harm,

But beneath her clothes, every movement scraped those fine cuts, setting her skin on fire.

Liam’s hand froze in midair, his gaze turning ley,

“Lena… are you afraid of me?”

“N–No.”

Desperate, Lena leaned forward and rubbed her head against his palm like a timid cat or puppy.

Satisfied, Liam lowered his hand and turned his gaze back to Sophie on stage.

Lena’s heart sank to nothing. Her fists clenched so hard that her nails broke the skin, but she didn’t care.

She had to ruin Sophie.

Only when Sophie’s light dimmed would Liam come back to her.

Today, Sophie wore something simple, yet her natural elegance was impossible to ignore.

Her beauty was refined and commanding, each word from her lips flowing like music into the hearts of everyone listening.

The men in the front rows looked at her with unhidden admiration.

Liam’s hand tightened into a fist on his knee, a ruthless gleam in his eyes.

Sophie could only ever be his.

After her speech ended, Sophie returned to her seat. By coincidence, it was right beside Mr. Harris. After so many years apart, the two naturally exchanged a few words.

Sophie thought her part in the ceremony was over, but suddenly she was informed she’d be presenting the awards to the outstanding graduates at the closing.

Though unexpected, she couldn’t refuse–especially since Principal Harris had personally asked her.

She waited until the end of the anniversary before hearing the host call her name.

“Please welcome Sophie, alumna of our design program, to present the awards to this year’s outstanding graduates.”

The room thundered with applause.

Sophie rose gracefully, letting the applause carry her to the stage.

But as she stepped onto the stairs, her foot slipped, her body tipping backward.

Instinctively, she grabbed the railing, just managing to keep herself from falling.
