447.Chapter 447
The moment Sophie finished speaking. Dylan charged at her like a storm.
A sharp, resounding slap landed squarely on Sophie’s face
The blow left Sophie dazed, her head spinning and her vision filled with stars.
She stumbled backward, crashing into the door with a heavy thud before collapsing to the ground, completely stunned
A servant said, “Lady Sophier
Another said, “Mr. Stonor, stop!”
Someone else said, “Quick, hold him back!”
The servants in Sophie’s courtyard were horrified by the scene unfolding before them.
Dylan wasn’t done. His hand was already raised again, ready to deliver another strike.
The servants turned pale and rushed forward, throwing themselves between him and Sophie
Some grabbed his arms, others clung to his clothes, desperately trying to restrain him.
They knew that if Dylan seriously hurt Sophie, it wouldn’t just be her who suffered. Every single one of them would face the consequences. Despite their fear of Dylan’s fury, they had no choice but to intervene.
After a chaotic struggle, they managed to drag Dylan three feet away from Sophie.
But even then, his furious gaze remained locked on her crumpled figure on the ground. Unable to reach her, Dy
erupted in anger.
She said, “You conniving snake! You and Matthew teamed up to swindle me! I took you both in, and this is how you repay
“You had the nerve to steal my money and parade it around like it was yours! I must have been blind not to see through your act before!”
Dylan was livid, his words cutting into Sophie without a shred of mercy.
His glare was sharp enough to pierce. “Where’s my money? Hand it over right now! Or don’t blame me for what happens
next!”
Sophie finally snapped out of her daze, collapsing onto the ground. Her trembling hand reached for her face, only to find the wound, previously bandaged, had split open again under Dylan’s blows. Blood streamed down her cheek in vivid streaks.
Her fingers came away smeared with blood, and the sight sent her into a panic.
She said, “My face! My face!
“Someone, call a doctor! No, fetch the royal physician immediately
If her face was ruined again, she’d make Dylan regret it for the rest of his life.
But Sophie hadn’t anticipated that Dylan would take things even further.
The moment he saw the servants trying to leave, Dylan broke free from their grasp, spun around, and slammed the door shut with a resounding bang.
Leaning his back against the courtyard door, Dylan snarled at the servants, “If anyone dares take another step forward, I’ll kill her right here and now!”
The maids and attendants in Sophie’s courtyard froze, caught between fear and indecision.
Sophie screamed, “Dylan, what on earth are you trying to do?”
“I want my money! Dylan roared back, his voice booming louder than hers.
Sophie glared at him, her eyes blazing with fury. “I don’t have your money!”
Dylan spat at her, his gaze dark and menacing. “Stop pretending! Sophie, listen carefully. If I don’t get my money today, no one leaves this courtyard alive! And your precious face? Forget about saving it!
“Fix it all you want,I’ll just destroy it again. You betrayed me, so don’t expect me to show you any mercy!”
“Dylan, you’re insane! You’ve completely lost it Successfully unlocked! / ignited by his threats. “All this madness over a bit of money? Is it really worth it?”
Dylan sneered coldly. “Don’t you dare question my sanity. If I’ve gone mad, it’s because of you, a heartless, ungrateful
wretch!
Their eyes locked, hatred crackling like a storm between them.

One was driven by the loss of his money, the other by the fear of losing her face.
No one would have thought that Sophie and Dylan’s relationship would fall apart like this.
The servants around them trembled, too scared to intervene.
Suddenly, a sharp knock echoed from the door Dylan was leaning against. “Dylan! What’s all this racket in your sister’s courtyard? Open the door now!”
Sophie’s eyes lit up with hope. “Father! Help me! Dylan’s lost it. He’s trying to kill me!” she cried out
Outside the door stood Gabriel.
Dylan’s face darkened instantly. He braced himself against the door, refusing to speak or move.
The knocking turned into loud, forceful pounding.
“Dylan, open this door immediately! Gabriel’s voice was heavy with authority.
Sophie seized the moment. “Father, Dylan’s barricaded the door and threatened the servants not to open it! Please, come in and save me before he goes crazy again!”
“You!” Dylan tumed to glare at her, his fury barely contained. But before he could say anything, a sudden force slammed into the door behind him..
The door burst open with a deafening crash, sending Dylan stumbling backward.
