As he watched the smile slowly fade from Sophie's face, a sense of immense satisfaction surged through Harold.
But a moment later, Sophie laughed again, saying, "I didn't expect you to be so childish."
Harold frowned. "What did you say?"
"If you really had the guts to hurt me, would you secretly arrange a private meeting like this?"
Sophie gently pushed Harold away and wandered casually around the room.
"There are no cameras here, and it's noisy outside. No one will notice this small private room. You're afraid of our meeting being discovered by James or Gordon, so how could you dare to touch me here?"
Sophie sat on the sofa and nonchalantly bit into an apple.
She had been in situations like this before. The privacy level of these kinds of rooms was top-notch, usually reserved for big shots making deals. Not a whisper could escape.
Sophie watched Harold. "Harold, drop your childish threats. You can't intimidate me."
Compared to the last time Ryan had kidnapped her, this was minor.
Harold's expression faltered, darkening further due to Sophie's casual provocations. "Do you really think I wouldn't dare do anything to you?"
"I'm right here. Do what you want."
Sophie wore an expression of noble sacrifice. As long as she remained James’ wife, Harold wouldn't dare touch her, not even if he had a hundred times the courage.
As expected, Harold made no move after a while.
