Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control

Chapter 237 Trapped by the Lien Clan

Marcella shook her head. "It's not likely. Last time, Colin told you that he was with Aaron and Sophia

when the other incident happened, and promised it had nothing to do with the Lo siblings. I don't think

she has the nerve to do it again. Perhaps Sophia has known that Colin is backing Dorothy up. She

wouldn't dare target Dorothy anymore."

Gregary frowned. He'd have to wait until tomorrow to ask his daughter.

Gregary was also concerned about something. "Why did Sophia disappear in the end?"

"Oh, I asked June about that. Apparently, Sophia had to leave early to handle something." Marcella

said. "Colin and Dorothy had been in the room for a long time by the time Sophia left." Since Sophia

had left, Marcella didn't think she would be with Colin. He was still with Dorothy in the room.

As long as Colin and Dorothy spent the night together, Marcella didn't care where Sophia went to.

Gregary couldn't help but feel that there was still something wrong. "Are you sure that Colin and

Dorothy were the ones in that room?"

"Of course! I personally saw Colin take Dorothy into the room where I burned the incense. The potency

of the drugs in that room would've affect Colin so quickly that he wouldn't be able to leave." Marcella

was quite sure of herself.

She had explained to the guests that the reason behind Dorothy's strange behavior was because she

was playing a game with her fiancé.

As long as Colin had sex with Dorothy, her daughter would definitely be Colin's wofe. The title 'Mrs. Li'

would belong to no one but her.

"Treat June better from now on. Jacob's company has been flourishing recently. Although we'll get

Colin's support, it would be better if we have Jacob on our side." Said Gregary. But he didn't tell

Marcella that his company had been in debt for a few months.

The only idea he could come up with was to get more business partners to help him.

Marcella looked down at the Ji Group. She was only counting on Colin to achieve her dreams. "We

already have Dorothy. Patrick isn't our biological son. Why should we treat his wife well?"

She didn't think it was necessary to please an adopted son's wife. When she didn't have Colin, she had

to please June because of Jacob Ji.

But now, Colin was her son-in-law. In addition to the SL Group, Colin was also a member of a

prestigious family. More importantly, Colin got along well with both the mafia and the government.

Marcella found it more worthwhile to please Colin.

If Dorothy gave birth to a boy, they would let their grandson displace the bastard Ambrose. Then their

grandson would inherit Colin's wealth.

Marcella got excited at the thought. Little did she know that her pride and greed would lead to her ruin.

......

It was a crazy night in both the Redbud Mansion and Patrick's villa.

When Sophia woke up the next morning, Colin had gotten up and was washing his face in the

bathroom.

Every inch of her body was extremely sore. Sophia sat up slowly in frustration. Why did she bear the

burden that Dorothy was supposed to suffer? How was Colin also affected by the aphrodisiac?

Which part of her plan went wrong?

Sophia squinted weakly at Colin as he went out of the bathroom.

Colin looked refreshed. He bent forward and kissed her lips. "Good morning, honey!" he said.

Sophia was stunned. She had to admit that his voice was so damn nice!

She said weakly, "What happened to you last night?" By the time Colin finally took her away from the

bathroom, it was already daylight.

"I got trapped by the Lien family." Colin said. He had called Wade to come over and take a blood

sample. Wade would have Colin's blood tested in the hospital.

"Really?" Sophia asked doubtfully. "Are you sure you didn't kiss Dorothy?" Sophia was jealous.

There was a smile in Colin's eyes. "I'm definitely sure. Dorothy was lying on the floor the entire time."

Sophia bit her lip and cautiously confessed, "You've misunderstood. I gave Dorothy an aphrodisiac

lipstick. If you didn't kiss her, then you must've smelled her lipstick. It must be why you and Dorothy

were affected by the aphrodisiac together."

Sophia didn't think that the Dorothy and her family were behind this. Or was it a coincidence?

When she gave Dorothy the aphrodisiac lipstick, did Dorothy's family also drug Colin?

Sophia didn't think that such a coincidence was possible.

But Colin already knew. Why would Sophia apologize to Dorothy and please her at the party last night?

Sophia's goal was to let Dorothy make a fool of herself in public. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

He realized Sophia's goal when he noticed her conspiratorial grin the moment she turned away from

Dorothy.

Colin found Dorothy's performance last night really wonderful.

Last night, there were some men behind Colin drooling over Dorothy. He immediately lost his appetite

when he heard it.

Colin stroked Sophia's hair as he explained, "It's not you. I didn't touch Dorothy."

"But... Did you ever touch her before?" Sophia asked, placing Colin's hand on her cheek.

Colin leaned closer until they were less than an inch apart. "Of course not."

Sophia was the only woman he had been with. She was his first and she would be the last.

Sophia gave him a sweet smile and kissed him soundly. "That's good."

"Sophia, I have something important to tell you."

"Hmm? What?" Sophia asked.

"It's eleven o'clock. You've been absent from work all the morning." Because of the drugs, Colin slept in

with Sophia and didn't wake up until just now.

"Oh my god! Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Backing away from Colin, Sophia immediately pushed off

the quilt to wear shoes.

Colin smiled and rested his palm on her back. He asked, "Have you ever considered changing jobs?"

Feeling his warm breath fluttering in her ear, Sophia flushed red. "No, I haven't... I can't change my job

at present..." she replied.

Not long ago, Sophia found something about Jonas's business. The company funds seemed to be tight

recently, so he was busy getting loans from different banks.

She also discovered an orphanage of the Pei Group that was rumored for child abuse and mishandling

of donations. But she didn't have evidence.

"Are you waiting for the Pei Group to declare bankruptcy?" As soon as Colin spoke, Sophia's legs

weakened and her knees buckled. Colin caught her immediately.

Sophia glared at Colin in dissatisfaction as he grinned smugly. "If you keep this up every night, I'll work

in the Lien Group after the Pei Group goes broke!"

Is that so? Raising his eyebrows, Colin said, "Then I will let the Lien Group and Pei Group go broke

together."

"I'll go to the Ji Group!"

"I'll have them go broke as well."

"I'll find a job in the Zhang Group, Li Group, and the Zhao Group..."

Colin said confidently, "I'll run all of them into bankruptcy."

Sophia was impressed. "Colin, I didn't know that you were good at bluffing!" Sophia didn't believe him

for she knew nothing about Colin's power and wealth.

Colin smiled without bothering to correct her. He watched Sophia as she got dressed and went to the

bathroom.

It was half past eleven when they went outside. On their way to find something to eat, Sophia called

her manager to explain her absence from work and took the rest of the day off.

"What are your plans this afternoon?" Colin asked. He skillfully controlled the steering wheel as he

glanced at Sophia.

Leaning tiredly against the window, she replied, "Sleep."

... He should have just let her stay in bed and ordered lunch for her. "What do you want for lunch?"

"It's up to you. I just want to fill my stomach." Sophia was so hungry that she could eat a whole cow.

"Let's go to the supermarket." Colin decided.

"Why are we going there?" Sophia was confused.

"I'll buy some ingredients, so I can cook a meal for you." Colin said. Since Sophia wasn't going to work

this afternoon, he wouldn't either.
