Chapter 217

“Sophie, watch your precious possessions be destroyed right before your eyes, Feel what it’s like to gain something only to lose it immediately

Lena yanked the necklace in opposite directions with force.

The fine gold thread of the necklace was starting to show signs of snapping, and Sophie’s brow furrowed as a controlled rage simmered beneath her calm exterior.

Bang!

The door to the auction hall was kicked open.

A tall figure strode in, exuding an undeniable aura of cold authority,

His mere appearance was enough to make everyone lower their heads in submission.

The entire room bowed their heads, too intimidated to even glance at him.

Why was he here?

“Liam…”

Sophie whispered his name, unable to stop herself.

She hadn’t felt anything earlier, but now that Liam had arrived, all the pent–up frustration came rushing to the surface.

Liam’s heart softened, as if something inside him had been hit.

He walked up to Sophie, scanning her from head to toe.

When he saw

that Sophie was protecting her belly with her hands, he immediately asked, “Did she harm our child?”

“Not yet, but she definitely had that intention earlier,” Sophie said honestly.

Liam’s gaze instantly turned cold, his face hardening as he looked toward Lena.

Lena’s previously domineering attitude disappeared in an instant, and she shrank back, retreating a few steps.

“Take her away!”

Liam’s voice was chilling.

Almost as soon as his words fell, two rows of bodyguards filed into the room.

They were dressed in black, their faces hidden beneath masks and hats, with only their cold, menacing eyes visible.

Without saying a word, they swiftly and efficiently dragged Lena over to Liam.

Lena didn’t even have a chance to struggle before she was brought directly to Liam’s presence.

Liam didn’t even glance at her, his eagle–like eyes sweeping over the entire room.

“I’m taking her away. Does anyone want to stop me?”

Everyone lowered their heads, afraid to speak. Under such an overwhelming presence, they wished they could disappear into the floor!

Chapter 217

Mr. King, gathering his courage, took a step forward

“Mr. Morgan, she is…”

Liam’s cold, sharp gaze cut through him, freezing him in his tracks

He dared not say another word and quickly retreated.

Liam raised his hand slightly, and the bodyguards dragged Lena out of the auction hall.

Sophie walked over and picked up the necklace Lena had thrown on the ground, carefully placing it back into the box before turning to Liam.

“Shall we leave now?”

“Alright.”

Liam naturally took the necklace box from Sophie’s hands, then held her hand as they walked out together.

When Sophie stepped outside, she saw only a black Maybach, with no sign of the bodyguards or Lena.

Curious, she asked, “Have they already taken Lena away?”

“Do you want to see what happens to her?” Liam asked in return.

Sophie immediately shook her head. “No, I think she’s not in her right mind. I don’t want to deal with people like her.”

“But aren’t you worried about Liam finding trouble with you for taking her away?”

Liam’s expression almost broke, and he suppressed his urge to laugh as he looked at Sophie.

“Sophie, do you want to hear what you just said?”

“Even if I stay down forever, I won’t be afraid of that little bastard, Liam.”

Hearing this, Sophie felt a bit foolish for worrying, but she still couldn’t help asking,

“What do you intend to do with her now that you’ve taken her away?”

“I’ve gotten used to peaceful days lately and almost forgot about this fish that slipped through the net,” Liam said in a dark tone. “Since she doesn’t cherish the time she’s been given to live, she will have to pay the price she deserves.”

For some reason, Sophie felt like the price Liam referred to wasn’t just a simple beating.

“You’re powerless right now. Maybe you shouldn’t act impulsively.”

“Don’t worry. No one can touch the people I want to move.”

Liam looked at Sophie seriously. “On the contrary, if someone dares to touch the people I want to protect, I will never let them off the hook!”

Sophie’s heart stirred, and she felt a deep sense of security wash over her.

Since Liam’s betrayal, she had felt like she developed some sort of trauma, always trying to handle things on her own.

Even though Liam had done so much for her, she still couldn’t bring herself to let go fully.

But after being strong for so long, she wanted a break.

She felt that, maybe, she could try to take a step closer to Liam.

Chapter 217

“You mentioned that you renovated my penthouse. It’s still early, want to take me to see it?

Liam’s eyes first lit up with joy, but then a hint of sadness appeared,

“It’s too late. I have to go abroad tonight.”

“Why don’t you come with me?”

Sophie’s heart fluttered, but she still shook her head. “Never mind.”

“Is something going on with your trip? Why so suddenly?”
