Betrayed by Four: Reborn, Their Rival Mafia Lord Became My Husband - Chapter 394: Chapter 394

In the laboratory, Sophie had worked tirelessly through the night without getting any sleep.
She rubbed her temples, feeling the weight of her exhaustion. Despite the fatigue, she had made significant progress with her work.
Handing the newly developed drug to Amy, Sophie intended to take a short rest for two hours.
As Amy accepted the medication, she mentioned in passing, "Night, your phone outside has been ringing constantly."
Due to her intense focus on her work, Sophie hadn't paid much attention to her phone over the past couple of days.
When she was in the lab, her phone was usually kept outside, and as for where it was, maybe she forgot about it.
"Alright, I'll check it," Sophie replied.
Sophie went out and picked up her mobile phone, only to find that there were really a lot of messages left on her phone.
Except for some that are not so important, most of them are from her grandfather, as well as Damon and Jake.
To her surprise, there were also several messages from Hurley.
He had called multiple times and sent numerous texts, primarily to apologize and assure her not to be upset.
Sophie was confused. Why should she be angry? What was there to be angry about? She wasn't angry at all.
After reading the news from Hurley, Sophie clicked on the one sent by Damon again.
Damon's messages started flooding in.
"Mommy, how could the big bad guy come to Andorra?"
"Mommy, the big bad guy is going to see grandpa, what should I do?"
"Fortunately, I'm smart, pretending to be sick and fooling around. But this is not a good plan! Grandpa and the big bad guy will definitely meet! Mommy, if grandpa really sees the face of the big bad, will he know your relationship with the big bad guy?"
"Mommy, the big bad guy took me out to play, we had so much fun! He even dealt with a very rude child. The big bad guy is really cool. I think I might actually like him a little bit."
Sophie was stunned. She had only been in the lab for a few days, and the world seemed to have turned upside down.
Why had Hurley come to Andorra? What was he doing there? If he met with his grandfather, her secret would be exposed.
She needed to contact her grandfather immediately.
What Sophie didn't know was that on the other side, at the Hades family's residence, Hurley and Mr. Hades had already met.
"You...," the old man struggled to find words, his eyes wide with shock.
The resemblance was uncanny. At first glance, Hurley appeared as if a grown version of Damon.
Why does this Hurley look so similar to his great-grandson?
However, Hurley has no idea about anything. When he saw the surprised old man, Hurley didn't think much about it.
He presented the gift he had brought, "Grandpa, it's me, Hurley. I've come to visit."
However, the old man remained speechless, still grappling with the resemblance. The housekeeper, sensing the old man's shock, took the gift from Hurley's hands and ushered Hurley inside. Only then did Mr. Hades snap back to the present.
His face, once warm and welcoming, turned icy cold. "Come in," he said curtly.
What the hell is going on, why is this Hurley so similar to Damon?
Yesterday, he had never got to see Hurley's true face, all because Damon mired Hurley's face with face paint and makeup.
Could it be that Hurley is ......
The realization hit Mr. Hades like a ton of bricks. The pieces of the puzzle were fitting together too perfectly for it to be a mere coincidence. Now that he thought about it, why did Sophie resist the marriage with Hurley so much, and when Damon suddenly had a stomachache when he heard Hurley's name yesterday, that he insisted to go to the hospital, even though he doesn't have any problems…
It all made sense now.
All these things proves that Hurley Walton and the man who hurt his precious granddaughter are very likely to be the same person!
He remembered the heart-wrenching sight of his granddaughter on that fateful day. Thinking of the image of her lying in a pool of blood when he first found Sophie, struggling to climb into the snow in front of her amidst the blazing fire and snow, and giving birth alone despite all of that. That moment sparked a burning, raging fire within him., At that time, the old man's heart was shattered, and he vowed to find the person responsible for hurting his granddaughter.
Over the years, he had relentlessly searched for the perpetrator, but all his efforts were in vain. Sophie didn't want to mention anything about the incident. She didn't want to say anything, further deepening his pain and frustration. As a result, it seemed like Sophie had to protect this person.
The realization that the person he had been searching for might be Hurley left him feeling a mix of betrayal, anger, and devastation.
He had expressed his desire to marry Hurley on three separate occasions and had twice praised Hurley, extolling his youth and promise, and insisting he was not a bad person.
Bah!
Throughout the years, the old man had never been fooled by anyone; everyone's true colors were apparent to him at first glance. This time, however, he was genuinely blindsided!
Upon entering, the old man took his place on the grand chair and didn't allow anyone to offer a stool for Hurley.
The housekeeper attempted to intervene, but a mere cough from the old man silenced him.
What puzzled him was the sudden change in the old man's attitude towards his grandson-in-law. He had always praised Hurley, even moments before, commending him for being so good to Damon.
Why the sudden change in demeanor upon meeting him now?
The old man took his time before finally speaking, "Your name is Hurley Walton, correct?"
"Yes, grandfather, I'm Hurley Walton." Hurley replied.
In front of others, Hurley's aura has always been overwhelming. But in front of the old man, Hurley have made an effort to present myself as a respectful and humble young man in your presence.
His grandmother was also aware of his visit to Andorra.
She had advised him that when meeting Sophie's grandfather, he should be smart, and don't think of himself as the big president and put on that pretense of talking about business.
If it were strictly business, Hurley wouldn't be so nervous, but meeting parents was a different matter altogether.
After all, the young princess of the Hades family was the apple of their eye.
However, when they had met the previous day, the old man seemed quite pleased with him. Hurley felt that their marriage shouldn't be hindered by his parents' approval. As long as Sophie agreed, there shouldn't be any major obstacles.
"You and Sophie, didn't you know each other before?" the old man questioned.
It seems that Hurley is unaware of his previous relationship with Sophie before, and that Damon looks so similar to him.
Doesn't Hurley know at all?
"I had never met Sophie before arriving in the capital," Hurley responded.
"You are not allowed to call her Sophie!" The old man's voice was raised, questioning Hurley's audacity to address Sophie so informally.
It's good that he didn't break Hurley's leg yet. He is not so sure if he and that guy are the same person. He must figure it out, and he can't wronged a good person.
"I've heard you have an ex-wife. What led to your divorce?"
"It wasn't my wish to marry her, Mr. Hades. I … at the time-"
Before Hurley's words were finished, Mr. Hades's mobile phone rang.
The old man picked up his mobile phone and found that it was Sophie calling.
Before he could say a word, Sophie's anxious voice came through, "Grandpa, did Hurley come to Andorra? Did you meet him?"
"Are you hiding something from me?" said the old man.
When Sophie heard this, she sighed in her heart. It seems that Grandpa already knows what's going on.
"Grandpa, please don't give him a hard time." Sophie pleaded. Although her grandfather appeared amiable on the surface, in his younger days, he had been quite ruthless and unpredictable. Hurley had essentially walked into a lion's den!
When the old man heard that Sophie was actually defending Hurley, his anger become more evident.
