Charles did not reply immediately but stared straight at her. When he saw that she seemed to be telling the truth, he finally nodded in agreement.
Sophia felt even more terrible when he acted this way.
It did not matter who was in the right or wrong back then, the Charles now was sincerely prioritizing her in everything.
She licked her dry lips and hesitated once more before saying, âCharles, actually, just now...â
The phone rang.
It was for Charles.
He picked up the call and listened silently for a while before answering âokayâ and hanging up.
âI need to handle something at the office. I have to stop by. Take your bath and have an early night.â He kissed her on the forehead, put on his coat, and left hurriedly.
Sophia touched the warmth left behind on her forehead as she sat on the sofa frowning. Her wound touched the sofa seat by accident. She took in a chilling, deep breath in pain.
Master Harris was quite vicious with his actions. She wondered how Charles had managed to get through it all these years!
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Her phone vibrated quite a few times.
Sophia picked up the phone and saw that Nicole had sent dozens of chat records via WeChat.

When Charles left the house, he did not head to Harris Corporation. Instead, he drove to his Aunt Lunaâs place.
There were already people in the living room seated in a circle when he arrived. Besides Aunt Luna, Aunt Lena, and Uncle Oscar, his dad was also present.
âYouâre the only one left. Quick, have a seat,â Oscar said to him while smiling widely.
He turned and instructed a servant, âDonât you see Charles here? What are you waiting for? Go on and prepare some fresh tea.â
The servant immediately replied with an âokayâ and left.
Charles did not sit. Instead, he said, âI came as fast as I could but did not expect to still be the last one here. I apologize for this.â
He said it sincerely, and everyone present was quite satisfied with his attitude.
Aunt Luna said, âWeâre a family, thereâs no need to stand on ceremony. Tea is served. Take a seat and drink. Warm yourself up.â
âThank you, Aunt Luna.â Charles thanked her and sat down to have his tea.
The few of them started chatting about their daily lives, but Oscar eventually said in a troubled tone, âI never had many shares to begin with, but Dad is forcing me to give some to Charles. This really puts me on the spot.â
âYouâre not the only one being put on the spot! Dad came looking for me to have a chat too. He said all of us have to give up some of our shares and put together 25 percent for Charles,â Luna was replying to Oscar, but her eyes were looking at Charles.
Oscar said in astonishment when he heard this, â25 percent? My shares plus both of Charlesâ brothers add up to only a little more than 10 percent.
Was Dad joking when he said to put together 25 percent for Charles?â
Lena replied, âNopeâ
Charles drank his tea calmly, allowing them to speak freely while he said nothing.
âAlan, stop making us guess. Is this really true?â Oscar asked Charlesâ dad gently.
Alan took out his phone and replied to a message from someone with the contact name saved as âLittle Seductressâ. He replied after putting away his phone, âI may be Charlesâ dad, but all of you should be aware that this kid of mine has always been an opinionated one. His decisions are out of my hands.â
âAlan, what do you mean by this?â Luna asked as she frowned.
Alan smiled and leaned back onto the sofa. âI donât mean anything. If thereâs anything youâd like to ask, you should direct the question to the person involved. Donât come questioning me just because you donât want to offend him.â
âYou...â Luna stood up with an extremely unhappy look on her face.
