Sonya chased him to the car. He had already opened the door and was about to get in. Seeing her, he slammed the door shut, looking annoyed.
âSomething wrong?â
Sonya stopped, took a deep breath, and said seriously, âThank you.â
âFor what?â He raised an eyebrow.
âThanks for letting Cody help me, for finding that witness, and for showing up tonight.â Henry snorted, âYouâre making a big deal out of it. I didnât do it just for you.â
âI really thank you.â
you.
Second, âFirst, I let Cody help you because my parents wanted it. They were worried about finding that witness was easy my parents kept bothering me. I was annoyed. Lastly, I came tonight to get my underwear. Youâre not as important as that.â
and âOh, then thank your parents for me.â
âTell them yourself. I wonât do that for you.â
With that, Henry got into the car and closed the door.
Sonya watched his car drive away. When Henry lied, he shouted to hide his nervousness. So, his excuses were lies. He had helped her, worried about her, and wanted to see her. However, their relationship was too complicated to continue.
Inside, Simon exclaimed, underwear âThat Henry looked took familiar.
âOf course itâs familiar. Itâs yours,â Jasmine said, annoyed.
âWhy did he take mine?â
âHeâs just pretending not to care.â
Leo was drunk, so Sonya called a driver for him. She had also drunk a lot but wasnât drunk, so she politely declined Jasmineâs offer to stay overnight and took the subway back to the villa. The clinic was a crime scene and still sealed. It was unclear when it could reopen. That evening, she called Calvin. He suggested finding a new location to reopen. With someone having died in the old building, patients would be hesitant, affecting business. Sonya knew Calvin was right but needed to think it over. Early the next morning, Julian called from a new number.

16 million dollars? Youâre not backing out, âSome things I need to clarify with you. You wouldnât want to hear unpleasant things from me in front of many people at the bank, would you?â
âAlright, see you in the afternoon.â
Sonya hung up, stretched, and went to freshen up. After washing, she changed into sports clothes for a morning run. At the door, she went to the flower shop across the street to buy a bouquet. âMs. Ella, youâre in a good mood today,â the security guard greeted her. Sonya smiled, âThe weather is nice.â
âItâs a beautiful sunny day.â
She took the flowers home, put them in a vase, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. After eating, she went upstairs to change into new clothes and then came downstairs with her bag. In the living room, she opened her bag and put the fruit knife from the table into it.
Then she left the house and drove to the hospital.
Taylor had already had surgery and was recovering.
Seeing Sonya, Taylor tried to speak but her eyes reddened first.
Sonya hugged Taylor, saying, âIâm okay, Taylor. Donât cry.â
âHow could this happen? I canât imagine how scared you were.â
Sonya wiped Taylorâs tears with a tissue. âYou shouldnât have been told about this.â
âI told her,â Riya said, coming in with food. âIf I hadnât, she might have blamed me.â âAt least she did one thing right.â
âShe still doesnât like me.â
After talking a bit, Taylor looked at Sonya. âBeing in the hospital, I couldnât help much, so I called SO I didnât do much.â Henry. He already knew and had Cody help you, to help you Sonya smiled, âHenry said he helped only because you called him.â Taylor curled her lip. âHeâs simply embarrassed to admit he wants Sonya talked with Taylor and Riya for a while, and then said she had something to do and needed to leave.
âSonya, if âI know.â

face any PS there were some things she had to dead THANKS to deal with on She had arranged to meet Julian under a bridge on the outskirts of New York. They had camped there before, so he knew the place.
She drove there, parked by the road, and walked to the underside of the bridge with her bag. Usually, this area wasnât crowded, with occasional campers, but due to the cold weather, no one was around except Julian.
He was holding his phone, pacing nervously. After walking in circles, he checked his phone and called her.

He had tried calling several This time, she didnât answer either, hanging up right away.
Julian growled in frustration and kicked the bridge pier.
âLooks like you really need money,â Sonya said sarcastically as she approached.â
< Chapter 178 Walk Out of Here Alive Hearing her, Julian looked over and, seeing her, his face showed joy. âSonya, youâre here. Iâve been waiting a long time.â
âAm I late?â
âNo, I came early.â
Menu Sonya nodded and walked about five or six steps away from him, looking around. There was no one else there.
âSonya, you can trust me. This 16 million dollars is a loan. Once my gaming company does well, Iâll pay you back,â Julian said eagerly.

âYour gaming company has struggled for a long time and never made much money, right?â âThis time, Iâll manage it better. Iâm sure it will succeed and Iâll pay you Sonya smiled, âBut the Jennings Group going bankrupt wasnât really because of bad right?â
management, Julian took a deep breath. âMake fun of me all you want, but just give me the money.â
âI said there were things to clarify.â
âGo ahead,â he said.
âDuring our relationship, I didnât rely on you financially. I lived in your villa, but I paid for my own food, clothes, and other needs.
We donât owe each other anything, right?â âRight, I guess, whatever.â
âWeâve broken up and donât owe each other anything, including financially, right?â. Julian just wanted the 16 million dollars quickly, so he nodded eagerly, regardless of what she salt;
Owes the other anything âRight, weâve split up cleanly, and neither of âYour mother asked me for money, and I didnât give her any.
After that, she died in my place, but her death wasnât my fault. You agree, right?â
âYeah, yeah.â

Julian was about to nod again but felt something was wrong. He looked up at Sonya. âWhat are you saying? Are you backing out?â
Sonya snorted coldly and took out a fruit knife from her bag.
âYou think Iâm easy to push around, donât you? Then Iâll fight you to the death!â She paused, and then glared at Julian, teeth clenched. âOnly one of us will walk out of here alive!â
