With a woman's voice falling, many people in the store cast their eyes on Sophie Lawrence. With so many gazes focused on her, Sophie Lawrence couldn't help but suddenly frown tightly. Looking at Chloe Morgan who suddenly showed up, anger already rose on her face as she said coldly, "If Miss Chloe doesn't know how to speak properly, I don't mind shutting you up for you."
Chloe Morgan sneered and replied full of sarcasm, "You're already so shameless. Are you still afraid of others talking?"
Sophie Lawrence clenched her hands tightly and asked in a cold voice, "May I ask how I'm shameless?"
Chloe Morgan glanced at Jason Lu and said with a face full of disdain, "You've come out shopping with another man. Isn't this shameless?"
Jason Lu frowned. He hadn't expected to be involved in this. He looked Chloe Morgan up and down twice, and said calmly and seriously, "This lady had better watch her words. Miss Sophie and I just met by chance."
At this time, quite a few onlookers in the store were whispering.
"Guess who the third party is that breaks up other people's relationships?"
"I think it's the one at the back."
Listening to the comments of the people, Sophie Lawrence immediately lost her interest in buying cakes. She said a soft "Goodbye" to Jason Lu and then turned around to leave.
Seeing that Sophie Lawrence was about to leave, Chloe Morgan was naturally unwilling. She took a quick step forward, pulled Sophie Lawrence hard, and without hesitation, splashed the coffee in her hand towards Sophie Lawrence.
Before Sophie Lawrence could react, she was drenched all over by the coffee.
Seeing this, Jason Lu quickly stepped forward and grabbed Chloe Morgan's hand, his eyes cold and stern. "Since this lady is so ill - mannered, then let me teach you how to be polite to others." With that, Jason Lu dragged Chloe Morgan out of the store.
The clerk in the store hurriedly handed Sophie Lawrence a tissue to help her wipe the coffee off her head, but the coffee stains on her clothes couldn't be wiped off. Worried that Jason Lu would do something extreme, Sophie Lawrence quickly followed them out.
When Sophie Lawrence arrived, she happened to hear Chloe Morgan questioning Jason Lu.
"Why are you protecting Sophie Lawrence so much? Is it just because she is the daughter - in - law of Henry Mitchell's mentor?!"
Jason Lu's expression didn't change, and he remained unmoved. He just poured a bottle of water he had just bought over Chloe Morgan's head.
Sophie Lawrence couldn't help but widen her eyes, her face full of surprise.
Chloe Morgan was instantly furious and stepped forward, trying to slap Jason Lu, but Jason Lu raised his hand and firmly grabbed her wrist.
"I generally don't hit women, but for someone as unreasonable as you, if I really have to fight back, I won't be merciful." After saying that, Jason Lu forcefully shook off Chloe Morgan's hand.
Chloe Morgan suddenly shouted loudly, her voice rising abruptly, "Sophie Lawrence, you despicable woman! You don't deserve to be Henry Mitchell's wife at all!"
"You two shameless people will surely come to no good end!"
Sophie Lawrence frowned slightly. She noticed that Chloe Morgan was in an abnormal state at this time.
Chloe Morgan was still shouting curses continuously. Sophie Lawrence didn't want to be entangled any longer, so she stepped forward, looked at Chloe Morgan, and said coldly, "If you keep pestering like this, I'll call the police."
Chloe Morgan didn't care at all and stared at Sophie Lawrence viciously, "As long as you don't divorce Henry Mitchell for one day, I won't let you off for one day!"
Sophie Lawrence suddenly felt a bit speechless.
After Chloe Morgan left, Jason Lu glanced at the time and asked, "Does Miss Sophie still want to buy cakes?"
Sophie Lawrence shook her head.
Jason Lu raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It's getting late. Then let me take Miss Sophie home."
Suddenly remembering the scene when Jason Lu sent her home last time and was seen by Henry Mitchell, Sophie Lawrence resolutely refused.
"No need for the trouble. It's the same for me to take a taxi home."
...
Sophie Lawrence took a taxi home and happened to meet Henry Mitchell who was coming back from work at the entrance of the community. There was still a distance from the entrance of the community to the building where they lived. Henry Mitchell unlocked the car and signaled Sophie Lawrence to get in.
Just as Sophie Lawrence had fastened her seatbelt, she heard the person beside her ask.
"Why are you back so late?"
Sophie Lawrence gripped the seatbelt on her chest unnaturally and replied, "There were some temporary matters in the team, so it was delayed for a while."
Henry Mitchell was just asking casually and naturally wouldn't dig deeper.
While waiting for the elevator, Sophie Lawrence's mobile phone suddenly rang. It was a video call from Jason Lu. Sensing Henry Mitchell's gaze, Sophie Lawrence's heart tightened immediately. Just as she was hesitating whether to answer it or not, Henry Mitchell suddenly spoke.
"Answer it if you want." His tone was cold and low.
