Dorothy struggled to her feet. She gritted her teeth and spat, "They must've been sent by Aaron Lo!"
She staggered towards the bathroom in the lounge.
As she walked to the lounge, she left traces of white fluids behind her... Retching, Marcella hurried to open the window.
By the time Dorothy walked out of the bathroom, the sun was shining in the sky. Marcella was sitting on the sofa in the lounge, waiting for her.
Dorothy put on the clothes Marcella brought for her. After dressing herself up, she lay down on the bed. Looking at her livid mother, she swore, "Mom, I'll kill Sophia and Aaron Lo!"
"How dare they! If they were the ones behind this, I won't let them get away!" Marcella snapped, smashing her fist on the arm of the sofa as she spoke.
Dorothy was certain that the men were sent by Aaron. But she didn't dare tell her mother what she attempted to do to Sophia.
"Don't call the police. If Colin finds out, we'll be finished! Dorothy, I know how you feel. But you need to stick it out a bit longer, and everything will be all right." Marcella shot her daughter a distressed look.
At the mention of Colin's name, Dorothy hurriedly shook her head. "No, we can't let him know. The wedding will be cancelled!" She had waited three long years to become his wife. She couldn't let it slip through her fingers.
"I don't understand why they would bring you to your father's office..." Marcella was puzzled.
A guilty look appeared in Dorothy's eyes. It must've been because she led her men into Sophia's office.
Noticing the subtle change in Dorothy's expression, Marcella realized that Dorothy was keeping something from her. "Dorothy, I'm your mother! What did you do? Tell me!"
Unable to hide anything from her mother, Dorothy had to tell the truth.
Marcella was furious. Not with her daughter, but with Sophia. How dare Sophia seduce Colin again! As Colin's future wife, her daughter did the right thing. The bitch had no right to retaliate.
"Clean the mess up. I need to tal

h. "Mr. Lien."
At the sound of Colin's low voice, Gregary almost cursed himself for acting so rashly. Taking a deep breath, he started, "Colin, several men bullied Dorothy last night. They seemed to be acting under Aaron Lo's orders."
"What did they do to her?" Colin asked coldly.
Gregary's heart sank. He didn't know how to continue. "Well... They cornered and threatened Dorothy. How do you suggest I get back at Aaron?"
Colin smirked. "What time did this happen?"
"Last night, Dorothy wanted to make some chicken broth for you. At about 6 or 7 in the evening, several men cornered her and threatened her. Luckily, Marcella got there in time. No substantial damage was made."
Gregary had no idea that every word he said made Colin want to laugh.
"At that time, the Lo siblings were having dinner with me. We were together in a private room the whole time, and neither of them got a phone call." Colin calmly told him.
What? Gregary frowned. The men weren't sent by Sophia and Aaron Lo? "Why were you having dinner with them?"
"Aaron had applied for the position of chief secretary in my company, and he passed the interview. Last night was a welcome dinner, and he brought Sophia with him. My future father-in-law, why did you think I was with him? Surely, you don't think that there's something going on between us."
