Chapter 31
The mined sound of the car somehow made her feel better. Sofia looked out at the streets of
Springfield, Illinois. It was still eight in the morning, and the sun cast a warm glow over the city
August in Springfield meant clear skies and a gentle breeze that rustled the leaves of the trees lining
the streets. Sofia noticed fandes strolling on the sidewalks, kids riding their bikes, and neighbors
chatting on their front porches. The city had a peaceful charm that she always loved. It felt comforting,
warm, and familiar.
“Are you ready?” Alexander asked. “Karina is already waiting with the media..”
His chuckle echoed inside the car. “You truly wanted to make this as huge as possible. I never
expected that fiery attitude from you”
“I don’t know if I should take that as a compliment,” she looked at his side profile. It was Josef who was
driving the car while Alexander sat next to her, reading some documents.
Apparently, his schedule today would be full yet he still chose to drive her to the police station where
she would formally file a case against the people who accused her of plagiarism and the ones who
spread lies about bullying.
She wanted to make this grand. So, she had already asked Karina to invite some reporters. What
about that brother of mine?” he asked. He was currently smiling as he read the documents but she
could immediately sense the impatience in his
voice
“I wid take care of him.”
ll me if you need my help, his voice turned softer, warmer.
will, she did not hesitate. The fact that he was able to summon Dr. Hugo Moore was enough proof of
his capabilities. This an not only has the money, but he also has connections. However, this fact alone

So, this should not be business-related. She immediately thought of the good-looking blond Hugo
standing next to Alexander. Was it possible that the two are… lovers?
He lifted his gaze, and she immediately turned her head away. She tried to hide the panic in her eyes.
She was curious but decided not to pry. Their current relationship is good as it is. There is no need to
complicate things.
“Soon enough, Sofia arrived a block away from the police station where Karina’s car was waiting for
her. She bid Alexander goodbye before getting into Karina’s car. “Who is that?” Karina immediately
asked.
“My husband.
“My husband, Sofia said. However, we are not here to talk about-
“Hold on!” Karina frowned. ‘Did I hear it right? You just said husband. As in husband?”
“Yes”
“That long legs… It wasn’t Daniel’s
Sofia smirked. She never thought that Karina would actually see his leg. “It was not Daniel.”
“Then-Karina’s eyes turned even wider. “An old rich man willing to help you with your revenge?

dropped. “You
didn’t say no.
“What?”
“You are always the type of person that would say no. Yet you didn’t which means. I got something
right. Was it the old part? Or the wealthy part?”
“Can we focus on why we are here? Solia immediately changed the topic. Her agreement with
Alexander was confidential. So, she did not want to inform Karina about this matter. At least not right
now. She wanted to focus on how to take care of Lawrence and Charlotte.
“Alright…” Karina took a deep breath. I will ignore the fact that you did not inform me… your only best
friend about this. matter. I will forgive you this time, but I am going to expect some explanation from
you. If that explanation is not going to convince me, then am going to cut off your ass. Do you hear me
“Yes ma’am.” Sofia chuckled. Karina glared at her in response. Tam serious
“I know, and I was planning to tell you about him, but the currere situation is just it’s chaotic. Besides,
my birthday is coming, and he will be there as my escort.
What about Daniel?”
“What about him?” Sofia asked.
“Did you does he know? I am guessing he doesn’t
You are right
Then… “Tam going to break up with him once he proposes to me.
“He will propose
“He will do it before my birthday. Solia was pretty certain that Daniel would do this before her birthday
as he would want to escort her and show everyone that she already had a huge engagement ring on
her fingers. “You are insane Karina said.
“Oh…I am. Sofia responded, a warm smile apparent on her face
“What if he would instead propose on your birthday Karina asked
“Do you really think he would do that in front of Charlotte Sofia retorted Charlotte had always been
needy and dramatic She always wanted the spotlight on her, and Daniel knew this. There is simply no
reason for Daniel to risk attracting Charlotte’s ire.
“Those two planned everything. What if Charlotte would agree? What if she loved your money more
than that man?”

But w for that. Karina frowned, her expression turning solemn
“I know,” Karina said as she started driving her car. “The reporters are outside waiting for you. Are you
sure you wanted to do this?” Karina asked,
“This could attract even more attention to you.” Karina had a worried look on her face. Their firm
