Sophia felt like her head was hit with an hammer. Disown? How? She couldn't comprehend her father's threat and looked at him with disbelief. "You're going to disown me?!" She asked with an expression of incredulity. "You think I can't?" Oliver glowered, not backing down. He was finally enraged. It was like a thread had snapped within him. He no longer held any desire for Sophia to suck up to him or not. it wasn't as though she had even treated him the way he wanted before; she had always been manipulating him to do her wishes. He knew about it but still he kept falling prey to it. But now, all those feelings and expectations could go to hell!Sophia recoiled once again in slight fear. At that moment, she came to realise that something had changed in her father and there was no going back. But she still couldn't take it..."You wouldn't dare!" She yelled with some summoned confidence. She wanted to call Oliver's bluff. "Oh, you think I won't?" Oliver asked with a contemptuous sm
Ethan?Sophia's mind blanked briefly. She felt a surge of anger and disgust for Ethan in her mind. But she was in a precarious situation, she was being dragged away by some security guard. For this to happen to her in the presence of Ethan, Sophia couldn't be more annoyed and embarrassed. "Ethan!" She called out to him. "Sophia?!" Ethan recognised her immediately. How could he not? This was his ex-wife!Ethan's facial expression turned grim. "What are you doing there?" He asked with a cold voice and a piercing gaze. At this time, the security guard had stopped dragging her away and was only holding to her arm tightly. "Ethan, you bastard! How dare you?" Sophia growled as she struggled to wrestle free from the strong grip of the security guard. Her face was contorted into a scowl as she glared at Ethan with anger and disdain. "What?!" "How dare you file charges against my family?" She spat. "Just because you got lucky and got a miserable job, you're becoming too arrogant." Eth
Ethan didn't bother to look back as he left the company. He no hadn't expected that Sophia would show up at all in the company he was working. He had at least expected Mr Walton of come by himself or send someone to him, not send his annoying daughter. Ethan was irritated and annoyed being comprehension but he didn't even allow it to show on his face. He went ahead and entered into his new car and then zoomed off. He was heading out for lunch at a restaurant. Surprisingly, Maya had been the one to invite Ethan out for lunch. She had called him just about the time that Sophia showed up at his company and asked him to come to the restaurant for lunch. It was as he was leaving the company to go meet Maya that he had surprisingly met Sophia at the doors causing a ruckus.Ethan had been somewhat confused as to why they had to meet in a restaurant, but Maya had somehow convinced him. Ethan still had some reservations towards her but he didn't think it was such a bad idea. In no time at
Before Maya knew it, Ethan stood up from his seat. "You're going?" She asked, disbelief etching her face. "Is there still something we need to talk about?" Ethan queried in confusion. If they had completed business then they could leave... Right?"No but..." Maya's words got caught up in her throat. She didn't even know how to put it. 'Damnit!' She cursed inwardly. 'This guy is just too difficult and dense!' "Then I will take my leave." Ethan replied and turned around, walking out of the restaurant. Maya was dumbfounded at the scene that just played out. She slumped back into her seat in exasperation. It was really hard to get through to Ethan. Maya didn't blame Ethan... Or she couldn't blame him. He probably never had a proper relationship with Sophia and then he got divorced. There were just too many factors affecting him and causing him to not open up to anyone. Maya didn't care though. She wasn't going to give up on him. She definitely would get what she wanted!Maya sighed
"Mom?" Sophia muttered in disbelief. She couldn't believe her mother would also give her the same threat that her father had done. None of them was showing her any mercy or any way out. "What?" Clara snarled with contempt. "You're the one who brought us into this mess in the first place, so it's up to you to fix it!" She retorted. "But you agreed and you supported me in everything that I did..." Sophia muttered. "Humph... Just because we didn't say anything all this while didn't mean we agreed with your playfulness." Clara replied and eyed her daughter. "...who knows, it might be because of you that even Tommy is in jail." She continued. Sophia was utterly dumbfounded. "That's not true!" She said in an aggrieved tone. "It totally is!" Oliver butt in with ferocity. "I don't remember having offending anyone in this city who would do such a thing to me by implicating my son." He said in an accusing manner. Even though Oliver and Clara weren't entirely sure if the accusations that
Sophia froze on the spot. Her pleading expression immediately contorted into a digested look. "What?!" She snapped. "Have you lost your mind?!" She growled. All the traces of her pleading and repentance had disappeared immediately.'As I thougt...' Ethan thought inwardly. He already expected Sophia to react violently to what he would say. His face remained indifferent to her. What was Ethan telling her to do? The same thing she had ordered him to do for her to release the kidnapped Sophia. She had told him to go half naked and apologize whole wearing nothing but an underwear!"You're crossing the line!" Sophia said again on seeing Ethan's lack of reaction. "Well... Suit yourself." Ethan replied indifferently and wound up his car to zoom off. Hadn't she already crossed the line when she asked him to do the same thing? Moreover, he didn't even get the chance to argue and complain. "It's not like I expected you to go along with it in the first place." Ethan muttered to himself as he
In a separate house, a good distance away from Ethan's house and office, Maya was sipping on her cup of coffee as she scrolled through the internet. "Hmm?" Maya was surprised as she saw a strange headline on a video. "Sophia Walton begs Ethan!"Without hesitation, Maya opened the video and began to watch it immediately. In the video, she saw Sophia dressed in slightly skimpy clothes, revealing a bit of her skin as she tearfully apologized to Ethan for what she had done to him. Maya frowned. "What the hell is this bitch doing?" She snapped in anger. "How is this the same thing that you asked Ethan to do?"In the video, the things that Sophia said were quite different from what was expected. She tried to somehow twist the blame on Ethan for what she did before she apologized. It was clear that Sophia was too arrogant. From this point alone, even Maya had to commend Sophia's acting skills because the tears looked quite genuine. Apart from that, the clothes that Sophia wore didn't ev
"I'm back!" Maya announced with a bubbly voice as she returned to Ethan's office. She had abruptly excused herself because she felt that the way Ethan had been looking at her felt somewhat different. Naturally, Maya became embarrassed and went to regain her bearings. "So..." Maya said with a faint smile as she threw glances at Ethan. "...what are you doing to do next?" She asked. Ethan was a bit tense and fidgety until he heard Maya's question. He exchanged a quick glance with Andrew and spoke. "I'm going to continue with the case." He declared decisively. Maya frowned slightly. "You are?" She asked.Ethan stared at her. "Sophia didn't do as I asked her to do. It's natural that I continue with this case." Ethan replied stubbornly. Andrew sighed loudly in exasperation. 'Young Master Ethan is pushing himself too far...' Andrew thought inwardly. Andrew cleared his throat loudly. "I think what Mr Ethan is trying to say is that he will resume with the case after some time." Andrew
