Even if Sophia was feeling complicated, she still noticed Megan’s unusualness. She rubbed her pained temples and said, “What do you want to say? Just spit it out.”
Megan was hesitant. However, after pondering for a while, she went back to her bed to take her phone. She opened WeChat and handed it to Sophia.
“You should read this.”
It was the chat record of a message group. There were only a few people in the group. Sophia knew all of them. They were all her colleagues in Dream Club.
‘I heard someone say that Sophia wanted to seduce Mr. Harris, but she was thrown out naked instead! You didn’t hear this from me, but with Sophia’s looks and scars, how would Mr. Harris like her? (Despise.jpg)’
‘I think Sophia’s quite pretty. She has a nice air around her as well, but she’s just a bit arrogant.”
‘She’s not seducing him (Shocked.jpg), some insiders told me that Sophia has beef with Mr. Harris. This time, she wants to kill him! I heard Mr. Harris was carried out by people while drenched in blood!’
‘She just got out of jail and she still wants to kill? My God! It’s so scary working with people like this!’
‘You’re all wrong! Phil was at the scene and he told me Mr. White was there too. Actually, Sophia is Mr. White’s biological sister. They drugged Mr. Harris together and wanted to take pictures to blackmail him. They want Mr. Harris to give the Whites his most profitable project!’
“Look at this too.” Megan snatched over the phone and found the screenshot of the security guards’ group chat she got from one of the guards. Then, she handed the phone to Sophia again.
The chat records over there were horrible to read.
‘Sophia is such a prude, but when she’s naked, her butt is so firm and perky. I wanted to f*ck her so badly! Too bad someone deleted the security footage.’
‘She’s such a minx. Why don’t we ask her out and have some fun with her? (A picture of a naked man and a naked woman engaging in lewd activities)’
There were more than a hundred chat records. The few people were talking about Sophia’s face and eventually talking about how to get Sophia in bed. Their choices of words were extremely crude. Sophia could not bear to read them anymore. There were a few smarter ones who even proposed ‘Operation Get Sophia in Bed 1 to 3’. They were writing lewd jokes about her.
In the end, the guard who sent Sophia these screenshots sent Megan a voice message. “Megan, you’re so close with Sophia, can you ask her out? When it’s done, I’ll definitely reward you. Or maybe you can come and join us for a threesome. Daddy’ll make sure the two of you have the best night of your lives.”
Sophia grabbed the phone with no emotions on her face. Her dried lips were pressed together tightly.
“Give me back my phone after you’re done reading.” Megan was scared that Sophia might crush her phone. She took her phone from Sophia and asked carefully, “I shouldn’t have proposed this idea to you. I’m so sorry.” Her voice was filled with regret.
Sophia lowered her head and did not say anything. She only clenched her shirt tightly until her knuckles turned white.
She took out her phone and opened WeChat. The messages in Dream Club’s group chat kept coming. They were all discussing her.
Some said she wanted to seduce Charles so that she could climb up the social ladder. Some said she failed to seduce Charles, so she hurt him. Some even said they had beef, and this time, she failed to kill him…
Everyone had their own opinions. Some were even making lewd jokes about her while Tiffany was slandering her here and there.
Megan looked at Sophia. She felt like she was in the wrong. She wanted to comfort Sophia but did not know where to start.
She wanted to find a solution to this. If it was one person who was talking about this, she could just go and punch that person in the face. However, there were so many people talking about this. It was hard to stop the mouths of a hundred people. She really could not think of any other solution for this.
Hospital.
The entire hospital was painted white, and there was the smell of disinfectant in the air. Charles laid on the bed in the hospital gown. His thigh was wrapped in bandages.
The doctor wiped away the sweat on his forehead and exclaimed, “This person was too cruel. They almost got your main artery. If they really did, it would be extremely dangerous.”
Marie lifted her eyebrow and looked at Charles who was lying in bed. However, there was no expression on his face. It was as the doctor was not talking about him.
“Thank you, doctor.” Marie smiled sweetly at the doctor and asked, “Mr. Harris drank some wine that was spiked with aphrodisiac and sleeping pills. Do you think he needs some medication for that?”
The doctor looked at the expressionless man on the bed and was shocked. “I really couldn’t tell. I’ll ask someone to send the pills over. He’ll be fine after he consumes them.”
“Alright, thanks.” Marie walked the doctor out and shut the door. Then, she walked to the side of Charles’ bed and said, “Mr. Harris, there are some things I can’t decide. I have to tell you about it.”
Charles was fiddling with the jade pendant. After he heard that, he lifted his head to look at Marie. “Spit it out.”
“The thing between you and Sophia is spreading like wildfire. All kinds of things have been said. Someone from the security saved a screenshot of Sophia’s naked body. How are you going to take care of this?” Marie’s face looked horrible. She was truly pitying Sophia now.
Charles’ body tensed up. He gripped the jade pendant tighter and looked at her again. His face was solemn. “They didn’t delete the footage?”
“They did, but the guard said he screenshotted it before they deleted the footage. Now, the photo is everywhere. I saw it too. It’s a bit blurry, so we can’t really see the face.” Marie did not know why he had such a huge reaction.
