âYou should keep the ointment for yourself, Miss Jones.â Sophiaâs face looked horrible. She pushed the ointment back into Leahâs hands.
Leahâs every word pierced into her heart, and she felt awful.
âWhy donât you want to use the ointment Iâm giving you?â
Leah grabbed the ointment and said bitterly, âIs it because you love Charles and he loves me, so thatâs why youâre jealous of me? Weâve been friends for ten years. Is it nothing compared to the one-sided love you have for Charles?â
âLeah, youâre so good at twisting the truth,â Sophia clenched her fist and said through gritted teeth.
The person who framed her was Leah. The person who was pretending to be pitiful was also Leah. How could someone be so shameless?
âIâm just telling the truth.â Leah sighed. She said softly, âSophia, you didnât have a scar on your head two years ago. You always dressed so nicely, but even then, Charles did not like you. Do you think he will now that youâre in this state?â
She grabbed Sophiaâs hand. âCharles will always love me. Thereâs no use to keep holding on to this. Listen to my advice. As a friend, Iâm telling you to stop daydreaming. Donât think about being a swan if youâre an ugly duckling. People will laugh at you.â
After that, she stuffed the ointment back into Sophiaâs hand.
âI told you, I donât want your ointment!â Sophia was squeezing every word out from her throat. She threw the ointment to the floor in front of Leah.
She bent down. Both of her hands were holding onto the wheelchair. She said slowly, âI admit I wonât be able to win against you in a battle of words.
However, remember this, Leah Jones, sooner or later, people will know your true self.â
âSophia, what are you doing?â At this moment, William and his clients had just got off the elevator. When he saw Sophiaâs aggressive manner, his expression changed.
âSophia, calm down!â Leahâs tears came immediately. She yelled while sobbing, âEven if you hit me and force me to give you Charles, so what? The one he likes is not you!â
This was too dramatic. Sophia was slightly taken aback, and after a while, she came back to her senses.
She watched as William ran over frantically. She did not have time to explain before he pushed her away. âGet away from Leah!â
He used a lot of force on her. Sophia staggered and stumbled backward. Her body then slammed onto the corner of the wall. It hurt horribly.
âHow are you? Are you hurt?â William inspected Leah up and down and asked in a worried voice.
Leah bit her lip and shook her head. She said pitifully, âWill, Iâm fine. Donât blame Sophia, sheâs just confused.â
âYouâre crying, and yet you say youâre fine?â William looked at her red eyes. He felt pity for her and was also infuriated.
As Sophia watched this unfold, she felt like she was having a deja vu.
At the party a few days ago, she had gotten pushed away by Madam Jones. Now, she was pushed away by William after being yelled at. What did she do to deserve it?
âWill, itâs fine. Donât blame Sophia.â Leah tugged on Williamâs sleeve and forced out a smile. âShe has had a hard time being a janitor here.â
âA hard time? If she wants to return to the circle by staying here, she has to pay the price.â William looked at Sophia coldly. His eyes were filled with disgust.
Sophia opened her mouth. She wanted to explain, but in the end, she only laughed at herself.
When did anyone believe her when she was arguing with Leah?
Plus, William was Leahâs brother.
âWill, Iâm fine. Really. Donât be impulsive.â Leah almost cried out from worry. âLetâs go.â
âWeâll leave in a bit. She has done something wrong. She needs to be punished.â William took out a handkerchief for her to wipe her tears. The expression in his eyes was unclear. âI will never let her bully you again.â
Back then, Leah had volunteered to go after Sophia for him, so she became Sophiaâs friend. In the end, she lost her leg. He had wronged Leah.
âWill, you got here just in time. Sophia didnât do anything to me. You... I donât blame her anyway, so please donât involve yourself in this,â Leah said frantically. Her face was filled with worry.
Sophia looked at her amazing acting skills. She knew she could never compare to her. However, she felt that this whole thing was ironic at the same time.
Charles and William were the newbies in the business world. The people in the same field as them, the media, and the public all praised them to be amazing in what they did. They were the geniuses of the business world. Her father had been in the business world for many years, but everyone called him a smiling tiger. He was a man with a big smile and evil intentions.
However, these geniuses kept on believing Leahâs bullsh*t again and again. On the other hand, her brother, who was called useless was the only one who believed her. How humiliating!
âKneel and apologize. Or else, Iâll ask Mr. Harris to fire you. Choose wisely.â William ignored Leah and stared at Sophia.
âKneeling again...â Sophia smiled. Why did everyone keep stepping over her head when she was at Dream Club?
She looked at the brother of her so-called best friend. She used to think that he was an honest person. She knelt slowly. She had been blind and made a bad choice in choosing friends. âIâm sorry, Miss Jones.â
When he saw this, disappointment flashed across Williamâs eyes. He said with a cold expression on his face, âYouâre hopeless!â
She would rather throw away her dignity to indulge in a life of luxury in Dream Club. Why had he fallen in love with this woman? He had loved her so deeply previously.
âWill, I donât know if the bruises on Sophiaâs knees have recovered or not. Stop asking her to keep kneeling.â Leah was trying her best to stand up for Sophia. She emphasized the words âkeep kneelingâ.
The more she behaved like this, the more William felt sorry for her. âYouâll only suffer losses and never learn from your mistakes if youâre like this.
Sooner or later, youâll be in big trouble.â
While saying that, he pushed Leahâs wheelchair to their pre-booked room.
Leah turned around and saw that Sophia had already stood up. She was slightly disappointed. She thought her brother would let Sophia kneel for half a day. Too bad.
Sophia watched as the siblings disappeared into the room. After standing there with her head lowered for a while, she continued cleaning while enduring the pain in her back and face.
She was on the night shift today. When she got off work, it was already two in the morning.
Tiffany was not in the room. Perhaps she was out with some clients.
Megan was removing her makeup in front of the mirror. When she saw Sophia coming in, she exclaimed, âDid someone really hit you?â
Sophia grunted a reply in exhaustion. She sat on the bed and did not want to move.
âI heard people say that it was James White who slapped you, and heâs your... dad?â Megan walked over to her. She felt pain even when she was just looking at the handprint on Sophiaâs face. The corner of her lips was bleeding too. Sophiaâs face was also swollen. How much force had James Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!
ï¤Chapter 35 You Should Ejaculate On The Wall White put in this slap?
âNo,â Sophia hesitated for a while and said with her eyes lowered. âHeâs not my father.â
âI donât think he is as well! If youâre really his daughter, how can he allow you to work as a janitor here and slap you? Those people are just bullsh*tting. They have nothing better to do.â Megan had initially been treading carefully when she first mentioned James White. When Sophia denied the allegation, Megan started talking at ease again.
Sophia did not say anything. She only looked down and stared at her rough hands that were a result of her daily cleaning. Bitterness flooded her entire chest cavity.
