Chapter 310

“How shameless! Not only did she plot against her friend, but she still expects her friend to thank her? Disgusting!”

“How daring of her to pretend to be an innocent white lotus, it’s truly disgusting!”

“I hate people who scheme behind your back the most! Betraying your best friend is one thing, but planting false evidence to incriminate her is even worse!”

When it came to friendship betrayals, women generally took more offense than men.

Of course, Leah heard everything clearly. The smile on her face froze as she instantly paled.

“Jones Group suffered a 20% loss in its market value, and Charles chose me over Leah. At the end of the day, I didn’t suffer any substantial harm anyway.

“I don’t want to see her so upset, so don’t talk about her anymore. After all, she was my friend once,” Sophia turned and said to the girls who wore troubled expressions on their faces.

One of them pretended to spit on the floor and retorted, “I especially hate girls like you who pretend to be a saint when you’re just the same as the other. You clearly got taken advantage of. How can you still forgive her for what she did to you? Have you not learned your lesson?

“You said you didn’t suffer any substantial harm, but what about the two years in prison? I have seen the photos, and I have seen the scars all over your body. You must have been constantly beaten up in prison!”

Another girl added angrily, “That’s right, don’t get fooled by this vicious woman! Let her grow a heart! If she really admits her wrongs, she should take the initiative and turn herself in. Let her spend two years in jail and have a taste of what you suffered!”

Leah kept her head bowed lowly, so nobody could see her expression.

Sophia let out a soft sigh and responded bitterly, “Forget it. She was once a very close friend of mine, I can’t possibly ask her to do something like that.”

Thump!

As soon as the words came out of Sophia’s mouth, Leah struggled as she lifted herself up from her wheelchair and dropped to her knees on the floor.

“Really? Will you really forgive me if I go to prison for two years?” Leah asked, her eyes filled with sincerity.

The three girls immediately went silent and exchanged nervous glances when they heard Leah’s question.

“To be honest, I considered sending myself to jail to make up for my own mistake, but my parents disapproved of my decision because of my health condition. But if you promise to forgive me after I go to prison, I will go right away!” Leah continued in a serious tone.

Her last sentence sounded firm with curt finality.

“Is that so?” A sneering look flashed across Sophia’s eyes as she continued hesitantly, “But I can’t just watch as you go to jail.”

Leah bit her lip somewhat begrudgingly. “Do you want me to go to prison or not? I really don’t know what to do with you anymore.”

“You were my best friend a long time ago. My conscience won’t just allow me to watch as you go to jail. Besides... Besides, how do I know this isn’t another trick of yours? What if you fake a relapse and point your finger at me, telling everyone that I’m the wicked witch who forced you to do this? If that happens, I wouldn’t even be able to explain myself to the world even if I had a thousand mouths,” Sophia replied distraughtly.

The girls had a moment of weakness when they saw how sincere Leah seemed, and they genuinely thought that Leah realized her faults. After all, she was 15 years old when it all happened. It was an age when anyone could have easily made an impulsive mistake.

However, after hearing Sophia’s input, the contempt they held toward Leah returned.

That was right! Who knew if this was another one of this scheming b*tch’s plans!

“Get up now. Stop kneeling or I’ll get upset when people misunderstand this and think that I’m bullying you.” Sophia stepped forward, but just as she was about to help Leah up, she backed away instead.

She turned to the group of girls and asked, “Can you please help me out? I’ve been extremely weak ever since I got pregnant.”

She had to constantly remind herself to be careful now that she was pregnant. If Leah decided to push her, whatever gains she got from this would not be able to make up for the loss.

The girls immediately understood the underlying meaning in Sophia’s words, and two of them came forward to help Leah back in her wheelchair.

Then, Sophia thanked them graciously.

“I’ve already admitted my wrongdoings to you. Why do you still have to humiliate me like this?” Leah gave her a wry smile.

Remorse crept upon Sophia’s face as she replied, “You must have mistaken me, I don’t mean to humiliate you. I really didn’t expect passersby to eavesdrop on our conversation and have such a huge reaction too.”

Leah’s entire body immediately stiffened.

“Leah, since you know your wrongs now, it’s time to turn over a new leaf. Otherwise, the next time when you try to scheme against someone else and get exposed, you might not be able to have a smooth escape. After all, you’re a cripple now. Have you forgotten that?” Sophia said in a concerned tone.

Leah gave Sophia’s leg a vague glance as her expression returned to normal. “We’re both the same pitiful little girls, so why should we continue hurting each other? Besides, when I risked my life and crashed your car back then, I only did it out of guilt. I wanted to punish myself physically.”

“Oh, so that explains it! Wow, you really sacrificed a lot just to fulfill all the evil intentions brewing in your head. I’m actually touched, truth be told,”

Sophia fluttered her eyes and continued, “But we’re not the same. I’m not pitiful like you.”

She patted her right leg and said, “You lost your leg, and you’ll never be able to dance again. But my leg is recovering quite well now.”

Leah tensed up even more as she clenched her fists that rested on her knees. “Not necessarily.”

“Not necessarily? What do you mean not necessarily? Is it because your leg has recovered long ago? Is that why you’re not pitiful anymore?” Sophia quipped back with a sneer.

Leah gave a bitter laugh. “I admit that I can walk now after physical therapy but... Sophia, my leg will never heal like a normal person’s.”

“Is that so? Oh, you poor thing, you really are indeed pitiful! You were banking that your scheme would cost me my leg, but it pushed me into Charles’

arms instead!” Sophia said regretfully.

“Sophia White!” Leah was clenching her fists so tightly that her knuckles had turned white.

“Are you angry?” Sophia raised a brow. “I have known you for so many years now, yet this is the first time I’m seeing you lose your temper. You’re usually very calm and don’t get angry easily, or is it because you hide your anger behind that fake smile of yours?”

Leah’s lips twitched as she said sullenly, “You’ve misunderstood, I’m not angry. I just don’t want to think about that car accident that happened two years ago. Every time you bring it up, I just feel even more miserable.”

“Oh, so that’s it. Well, for the sake that we were once friends, let me give you a piece of advice. Please keep more of your cardiac medications with you from now on.” Sophia suggested thoughtfully.

With a small, knowing smile, she continued, “If you die because of your heart, everyone might say you deserve it, and you might never get your peace in hell.”

“I have donated to many charity organizations, so I think I’ll go to heaven when I die.” Leah corrected her with a stiff smile.

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

Chapter 309 It’s Nothing Compared To How Good He Is To Me The soup in the pot began to boil as the hot air rushed toward the two of their faces along with the strong aroma.

“Here, let me help you. You’re a cripple, after all. I know how inconvenient it is.” Sophia stood up and fished out all the pig lungs into Leah’s plate.

Leah usually would not go anywhere near such greasy and disgusting things, so when she smelled them, her hand went to her chest as she retched.

“Since we were once friends, let me give you another friendly piece of advice.” Sophia sat back down and stared at her through the steam coming out from the pot. “You should try your best not to vomit. With previous news reports, people might think that you’re trying to bully me. That wouldn’t be too good for your reputation, would it?”
