"Don't worry, there's absolutely no possibility of that happening. However, if I discover that all of this is just your ploy to play hard to get, Sophie, the consequences are something you won't be able to handle!"
"Then let me reiterate, Hurley, I'm not interested in you!"
Her feelings for Hurley had long been extinguished!
She is no longer the kind of person who bares her heart and soul; she is now heartless.
Even in moments of impulsiveness or emotional stirrings, Sophie would remind herself that it's not allowed.
"So, in the future, please, General Walton, refrain from meddling in my affairs."
Sophie firmly stated this, but in reality, her fingers were squeezing her own palm.
She knew that Hurley was protecting her.
Moreover, this was already the third or fourth time that Hurley had protected her. She didn't want to owe him too much. If the debts piled up and entanglements deepened, things would become truly complicated.
It felt as if Hurley's heart had been stabbed with a knife. Sophie was so heartless, and he had never been kind to anyone before. However, this woman showed no gratitude at all!
"Sophie, I won't interfere in your matters anymore!"
Hurley declared firmly. If he ever intervened in Sophie's affairs again, he would be nothing more than a dog!
.…
After entering with the invitation, Stella saw someone being assisted out, fingers stained with blood, and she was taken aback. What had happened? Who dared to cause trouble at the Windsor family's banquet? That was too audacious.
As she walked in, she overheard hushed conversations. Stella stopped in her tracks to listen.
"I've never seen General Walton before. So, what's the relationship between him and that woman that he's protecting her so fiercely?"
"Yeah, and they even had a physical altercation. That Jordan person deserved it; I heard they've been using the Jordan family's name for illicit activities."
"I remember that woman is called Sophie, right? She seduced the head of the Windsor family, and now General Walton has fallen for her charms as well?"
"This woman is quite something. I just saw her too. Beautiful, yes, but so aloof. She's not someone we can easily approach."
Stella probably overheard the recent events. Did her second brother really get into a fight over Sophie? Hurley has always been an elegant person. Even if someone provoked him, he wouldn't resort to physical violence; he would seek revenge in other ways. But now, he has changed so much for Sophie!
Stella scanned the area but didn't spot Sophie. She heard that her second brother had taken her outside for some reason.
In the garden, Stella found Sophie and Hurley. Despite being in a corner, the two still stood out conspicuously.
"Second Brother!" Stella walked over with large strides.
As she approached, she noticed an invisible tension between the two, mixed with a suffocating atmosphere that made Stella feel a bit breathless.
"Second Brother, I've been looking for you for a while. What are you doing here?"
"I heard you got into a fight?" Hurley acted as if he hadn't seen Stella, just snorted coldly. His gaze shifted away from Sophie, and he let go of her hand, striding away from the garden.
As Hurley left, Sophie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She shook her wrist; it really hurt. Hurley left, but Stella didn't follow.
"What were you doing with my second brother here just now?" Stella stared at Sophie intently.
Sophie found it amusing. "You came too late. If you had arrived a step earlier, you could have witnessed your second brother and me kissing here."
"Then let me reiterate, Hurley, I'm not interested in you!"
