Hearing that Sophie knew their wives, the two men immediately backed down.
Sophie smiled slightly and said, "I'm just borrowing her for a little while. It won't spoil your fun."
Seeing this, the two men naturally could not object further and had to let Sophie take Jean away.
Jean had drunk a lot and was barely able to walk straight. If it hadn't been for Sophie holding her up, she might have collapsed on the ground.
Upon seeing Sophie, Jean cried like a child. "I really didn't know this place was like this. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have come..."
Jean clutched Sophie's arm, crying, "Sophie, I know it was all my fault before. I beg you, please take me away, will you?"
"The path was your own choice. What I want to know is, how did you get into this gala?"
Sophie knew Jean was a girl from a humble background with no wealthy family support. It puzzled Sophie how she managed to get a ticket to the Minton International gala.
Jean lowered her head, bit her lip, and said, "I... I asked for it myself."
"How did you ask for it?"
Faced with Sophie's questioning, Jean hesitated for a long time and wasn't willing to reveal the truth.
Sophie coldly said, "So you're not telling? Then it seems we have nothing to talk about. I'll just send you back to those two men."
"No! Please don't take me back! I beg you!" Jean hastily grabbed Sophie, shaking her head frantically, fearing to face those two older men again.
Sophie coldly stated, "I gave you a chance. If you answer my question, I'll help you. If not, you'll have to face the consequences of your choices."
With Sophie putting it that way, Jean could only bite her lip, struggling to speak. "It was... from a director... he gave me the opportunity..."
Sophie raised an eyebrow and said, "You're still a trainee at Aldridge Global. Going behind Aldridge Global's back to meet with a director is a breach of contract."
"I just wanted to survive! I really wanted to make it. That director told me the Minton International gala was an opportunity and gave me his business card, saying he vouched for me, but I really had no idea this place would be..."
Jean had never seen such grandeur and did not know that Minton International's gala was a hunting ground for businessmen to satisfy their private desires.
"Which director?" Sophie asked.
"The one from the TV show the company was in contact with last time... He said he saw potential in me, so he gave me his contact. I was desperate..."
