Hum!
The wind from the leg blew Darren’s white beard and white hair.
Brent’s right leg stopped abruptly beside Darren and slowly fell to the ground.
"Madame’s Father?"
Brent was shocked and looked back at Sophie in disbelief.
Sophie had a complex expression. She was angry yet sad, with tears in her red eyes.
Finally, she nodded to Brent.
Brent stood still, back and forth, glancing at Sophie and Darren.
For a moment, he was at a loss.
Sophie walked slowly to Darren, and her expression became solemn.
She said coldly, "I hope what you said just now is just your impulse, not your will. Since I could save you just now, I also can make you pay for everything you do!"
Her words were full of threat and cruelty.
Darren’s body trembled, but he still argued, "That’s the way you talk to your father?"
Sophie laughed, straightened up and looked down at Darren, with no emotion in her eyes.
"Our relationship ended many years ago. I’m also a mother. You might have thought that I was easy to be bullied. But you never know that a woman is weak, but she will become strong when being a mother!"
"If Jack hadn’t been young, do you think the Burton family would have succeeded so easily? Now that Jack has grown up, if you think I’m easy to be bullied, just come on!"
Sophie’s tone was cold yet sonorous.
It was hard to imagine that this was what Sophie, who had always been kind and mild, said.
Brent was completely stunned. His eyes were full of surprise and doubt.
He thought Sophie was very different.
"Brent, let’s go!"
Sophie turned and left.
Brent came to his sense, didn’t dare to disobey again, and quickly followed her.
On the mountain road, the light was dim.
The night wind was cool.
Darren sat on the ground dejectedly and looked at Sophie’s back.
Finally, he showed a bitter smile and muttered to himself, "That year, we did wrong after all."
......
In TM Villa District,
Brent arranged for the property office to go to the mountain road to deal with the car accident and compensate for the loss.
When they got home, the living room was still brightly lit.
Mr. Ward and Sophie sat opposite each other in silence.
Brent came forward and whispered, "Mr. Ward..."
Mr. Ward raised his hand and interrupted Brent.
Mr. Ward smiled, "I know what happened."
Then he looked at Sophie, "Madam, you really can’t solve this!"
"You let Brent track me!" Sophie changed the subject and looked at Mr. Ward seriously, "I say I can solve it, so I can really solve it. I don’t need you and Brent to interfere in my affairs!"
"Tonight is the proof that Madame can solve it?" Mr. Ward joked.
Sophie looked gloomier.
However, Sophie didn’t refute Mr. Ward.
Because she knew that if Brent didn’t follow her and help her tonight, she was bullied for nothing.
And she would choose a softer and more time-consuming way to solve it. But its outcome was uncertain.
Brent’s attack let her use a better and more decisive way.
"Madam, a tall tree catches the wind. In the first 20 years, Madam and Young master depended on each other for survival, and the wind didn’t come."
