really valued Sophie.

It took only two hours for him to find his way here, which meant that his incompetent people still hadn’t done their job properly!

“Hand Sophie over.”

As Marcus stepped into the living room, his sharp, cold eyes locked onto Julian.

Julian’s heart tightened, but he feigned confusion.

“Sophie came to Falyon? How come I didn’t know about this?”

“Don’t play dumb, Julian.”

Marcus swiftly stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar,

“If I didn’t have solid evidence, I wouldn’t be so sure that you’re the one who took her.”

Hearing Marcus‘ words, Julian stopped pretending.

“I’ll give her to you, but I need Mr. Morgan to offer some compensation.”

“Since you know I brought her here, you should also understand that if I hadn’t taken her, those capital forces would have taken her instead.”

“I saved her. It’s only fair that I ask for some compensation, right?”

Marcus released his grip on Julian’s collar. “Speak your purpose.”

“Help me, support me in taking control,” Julian’s eyes glinted with unprecedented ambition.

Marcus sneered. “You’re pretty bold.”

“If Mr. Morgan helps me, once I take control, the entire capital of Falyon will be at your disposal!”

“He won’t help you!”

Sophie stepped out from behind the door. “At least he won’t help you because of your current threats.”

The moment Marcus saw Sophie, his nervous heart finally calmed.

He walked towards her, his eyes filled with deep affection.

“Has he hurt you?”

Sophie shook her head. “He had someone put some special incense in my room. Luckily, I noticed in time and secretly swapped it out

Julian was shocked. “How could you have noticed?”

“In a foreign land, I must be cautious of anyone who suddenly appears by my side,” Sophie sald, looking at Julian

“I’ve always been curious why you happened to appear near the hospital, but when I heard about Marcus‘ situation, I realized.”

“When I landed, all the forces must have already gotten the news. You were there to block me.”

“I wouldn’t drink the water you gave me, so how could I have smelled the incense you put in my room?”

Julian sighed silently, his eyes filled with defeat.

“So, you were already awake, pretending to sleep, waiting for Marciis to come get you?”

“Exactly. I knew Marcus would go to great lengths to find me, and I also wanted to figure out your intentions, so I stayed.”

“I purposely said I would leave by noon tomorrow to pressure you, to make you reveal your true intentions.”

After saying this, Sophie looked up at Marcus.

“I want those watching you to know that anyone who stands by your side is never someone to be underestimated!”

Marcus pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.

“Don’t let there be a next time.”

He didn’t want Sophie to take risks for him to figure out Julian’s intentions; he just wanted her to stay by his side safely.

“Since that’s the case, then I’ve lost this round. You may go.”

Julian’s eyes were full of unwillingness. “But I still hope Mr. Morgan will seriously consider my proposal.”

Marcus ignored him, wrapping his arm around Sophie’s shoulder as they walked out.

After they left the estate, Julian sighed deeply in relief.

He had just managed to get past this, and Marcus hadn’t suspected his motives.

Julian’s eyes gleamed with slyness as he slowly walked into Sophie’s recently used room.

The champagne–colored blanket was slightly pulled back, revealing a wrinkled spot.

It was clearly the place where Sophie had just been lying.

Julian lay down on it with a look of longing, deeply inhaling, savoring Sophie’s scent still lingering on the fabric.

His eyes closed tightly, filled with wild obsession, and a wave of heat rushed through his body…

Marcus took Sophie to his residence in Falyon, a three–story small villa hidden outside the city center. The interior was decorated in his signature black, white, and gray tones.

As soon as they entered, Sophie couldn’t help but ask,

“What’s the situation now? Will my arrival put you in danger?”

Chapter 224

Sophie had been on edge the entire time they were in the car.

Scenes of assassination and gunfights from movies kept swirling in her mind, and she was constantly tense.

It wasn’t until they entered Marcus‘ territory that she finally relaxed, if only for a brief moment.

Marcus lightly brushed her nose. “So you’re still afraid.”

“Of course, how could I not be scared?”

“Scared and still coming?”

Marcus stared into Sophie’s eyes, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “Worried about me?”
