Trapped with the CEO Chapter 1345 Don't Be Sad

While Sophia hesitated, a voice joined the conversation. On the other line, Wendy curiously asked, "Is that Sophia? Are you sleeping over tonight? That's great! Brody and I will wait for you for his bedtime story!"

Hearing that, Sophia was at a loss of words. Since Wendy had also invited her, it was very difficult to refuse. Thinking how much she missed Brody, Sophia readily agreed.

Before they drove to the Li Manor, Sophia stopped the car at Waterside Boulevard to drop Aaron off. "Take care, sister."

"You too. Go back home early."

"Wait for a moment." Colin told Sophia. He got off the car and closed the door behind him. Outside of the car, Colin walked towards Aaron. "They'll think you're retaliating against her. Watch your back."

Aaron knew who he was talking about. Inserting his hands into his pockets, he gazed at the buildings in the distance. "I know, brother."

But he wasn't afraid. He had been through h.e.l.l. How could he fear the Lien Clan and Pei Clan after that? They were nothing to him in comparison.

Colin patted his shoulder. "I know you're capable of protecting yourself, but don't worry your sister."

Although Sophia had no idea, Colin knew what Aaron had been through in England. If Aaron hadn't contacted him last year, or if he hadn't used his influence in England at the time, Aaron would've been long gone by now.

Driven by curiosity, Aaron couldn't help but ask, "By the way, brother, what's the deal with Brody?"

At the mention of his son's name, Colin smiled and glanced at the woman sitting in the car and playing with her phone. "Your sister doesn't know that our son is alive."

Aaron's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Colin. Did he mean... Did he mean that the dead son his sister mentioned was still alive?

But his sister was so certain of the child's death. "But sister said the child..."

Colin sighed heavily. "No. I had Wade take away the child and raised him myself. Your sister now thinks he's my child from another woman."

"Why not tell my sister? She was so sad..." Aaron could still recall how Sophia wailed over her son's death over the phone.

Complex feelings surged in Colin's eyes. "It isn't time yet. I'll tell her about Ambrose soon. And until then, you have to keep quiet."

Aaron

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.

Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...

long time, someone finally answered.

In a hoa.r.s.e voice, Dorothy said, "Mother, it's me."

"Dorothy? What happened?" Thinking her daughter was still in her own bedroom next door, Marcella was confused.

Dorothy leaned against the desk to support herself. She endured the discomfort in her body and said, "Mom, take some of my clothes to father's office. Don't let father come!"

Gregary's office? Instantly alert, Marcella sat up in bed. "Why are you there?"

Next to her, Gregary turned over on the other side of bed. She quickly lowered her voice to a whisper.

"Mom... Something horrible happened." Dorothy started crying, and Marcella hurriedly got off the bed in fear.

She tiptoed out of the bedroom and closed the door behind her. In the corridor, she asked, "What happened? Tell mom."

"Mom... You'll know when you get here. Don't forget to bring my clothes. And don't let father come with you!"

Marcella was at a loss. She paced around the corridor a few times before she calmed down. She went back quietly into the bedroom to change. Taking a set of clothes from Dorothy's room, she hurried to the Lien Group.

When she opened the door of the office, she almost fainted at the scene.

"What... What... What happened to you?" It took a long time for Marcella to find her voice.

Breathless, Dorothy said faintly, "They raped me... All of them..."

"Who did this to you?" Looking at the mess in the room, Marcella couldn't help covering her nose as she resisted the strong urge to vomit.
