Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 475

Sophia immediately dialed Charles’ number. On her first try, nobody answered the phone, and when she tried again, the phone was turned off.

She frowned. Did his phone run out of battery or… did something happen?

“What’s wrong? Please don’t tell me you don’t have anyone to reach out for help!” Seeing that the cars behind were closing in on them, the driver was not as relaxed as before.

Sophia replied, “Keep your eyes on the road, let me make another call.”

The driver could not help but feel wary about the situation. There was a high possibility that this would all come to an end soon, but he knew it was too late to turn around now!

Sophia pursed her lips and dialed Sterling’s number.

Beep——

The dial tone from the other end of the phone was unusually loud in the quiet car.

Beep——

After the second ring, Sterling’s impatient and anxious voice spoke, “Hello, may I know who is this?”

“Ster, it’s me,” Sophia quickly answered.

Sterling was stunned for a moment before he finally replied, “So… Soph?”

“Yes, I don’t have time to explain everything now but…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Sterling anxiously interrupted her. “Mr. Zellner, I know you’re there! You better listen carefully, if you dare to even lay a finger on my sister, I will make sure your entire family pays for it!!!”

“Ster, I didn’t get captured by them. Megan saved me.” Sophia asked the driver for their car license plate and repeated it to Sterling, “Ster, we can barely hold on now, can you please get us help?”

There was no response.

“Ster?”

“Sh*t! Zellner scammed us! Charles is on the way over to see that sly old fox now!” Sterling said warily, “Alright, don’t panic, I’ll come to get you now and find a way to help Charles after. F*ck, I don’t even know where he’s heading to!”

Sophia felt her blood turn cold as her limbs went numb. “Charles… went to see Mr. Zellner alone?” she asked stiffly.

Sterling said nothing.

Seconds later, Sterling ended the call.

Sophia stared at her phone blankly as her throat tightened. She had already done everything she could to ensure that she would not become Charles’ burden, yet she still ended up dragging him down.

One thing she was certain though, was that Mr. Zellner was up to something, and if Charles went there all alone…

She did not even dare to think about it, and all the blood drained from her face instantly.

Just as she was still blanked out, two of the black Volkswagens suddenly caught up with them, one on each side, sandwiching them in the middle.

Megan tugged on the corner of her sleeves as she stared at the black Volkswagen outside. Her eyes were red now and her lips could not stop quivering.

Seeing how distraught she was, Sophia bit her lip and said softly, “Just stop the car, I can get down here.”

She could no longer escape anyway, so there was no need to burden anyone anymore.

The three of them remained quiet as they contemplated. Seeing the opposing enemy, Sophia certainly did not stand a chance if they let her down right then.

However, they would get into trouble as well if they continued helping her.

Just as they were still trying to make up their minds, someone crawled out of the window from the Volkswagen on their left and pounded on their car window.

Megan and the two men immediately began to shudder even more when they heard the thumps.

“Wind down the windows and tell them you’re stopping the car now,” Sophia said to the driver.

The three stared back at her blankly as she spoke, and the two men’s eyes lit up as soon as they heard her say ‘reimburse’.

Megan, on the other hand, had a troubled look on the face. “I… I don’t want it, it’s fine.”

“You deserve it,” Sophia said, “Alright now, please stop the car.”

The car came to a stop, and just as the man in the front passenger seat offered to bring Sophia over, she turned down his kind offer right away. “I can go over myself, I don’t want the surveillance cameras to catch you on camera.”

Sophia thanked them again before she got into the Maybach.

On the way over, Charles was caught in a traffic jam.

His lips were tightened into a straight line, and his eyes were filled with ice. He pressed down on his horn but the car in front of him was still moving at turtle-like speed.

He furrowed his brows. Right then, he caught sight of the motorcycle on his right and his eyes instantly lit up.

He opened the door and got out of the car.

Charles brought his car keys along with him and stopped before the motorcycle, where he exchanged his Bentley for the person’s motorcycle. Then, going as fast as he could, he sped toward where he and Mr. Zellner had agreed to meet.

According to the address, Charles finally arrived at a small-town community area. He simply stopped the motorcycle at the roadside before he made his way to 1808 on Sixth Street.

According to the address, Charles finally arrived at a small-town community area. He simply stopped the motorcycle at the roadside before he made his way to Flat 1808 on the sixth floor.

There were a small potted plant and a welcome mat right in front of the door, just like any other unit on the floor. It looked just like any other ordinary home.

Charles knocked on the door and two men came out. They searched his body, and after making sure that he did not have any dangerous weapons on him, they let him in the door.
