Leila was not only a celebrity, but also an heiress of a powerful family. The Ji Clan has great power in A Country, and Leila's father is a senior official in the army. Who the hell would dare to take advantage of her?
Sophia didn't think Colin would believe Leila.
But she hated seeing him hold Leila in his arms.
"Mr. Ji, find these two men. I'll handle the rest." Colin ordered, without turning his head.
Wade nodded. "Yes, Mr. Li." Taking out his phone, he walked out of the room to start dealing with it.
"Thank you, Colin." Leila buried her face into Colin's chest.
"Don't mention it, Leila. Let me take you home."
Colin tried to pull her away from his arms, but Leila shook her head.
"I don't want to go back home. I want you to stay with me for a while. I've never met such men before... They were so disgusting. I felt like throwing up." Leila spoke in a soft and pleading tone, that even Sophia found it hard to refuse her.
What was she supposed to do? Was she here to witness her husband and his childhood sweetheart's unchanged love?
Colin had managed to put her back onto the sofa. Turning to Sophia, he said, "Come here, you're both women, you would know how to comfort each other. Comfort Leila for a while."
Sophia was speechless.
She'd rather jump out of the window instead.
Did she look she had anything in common with Leila? He actually expected her to be kind and comforting to her husband's childhood sweetheart? Colin knew exactly how to torture her.
But to prevent Leila from jumping into her husband's arms to start weeping again, Sophia would do it for Colin's sake.
Sophia walked to her, but Leila didn't even look at Sophia. Turning to Colin with tears in her eyes, she said, "Colin, I'm not familiar with Sophia. I want you to comfort me."
Sophia couldn't say a word. For a moment, she felt like that she was one of Leila's crazy fans, who wanted to please her but was heartlessly refused.
Colin felt a headache. "Leila, let's go home."
How could a woman in her late 20s behave like a child?
Sophia was furious with Leila.
“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.
“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.
Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...
Sophia was worn out from shopping all night. It's time to go home and rest. If she really wanted to drink, he'd accompany her for a drink the next day.
Sophia didn't move. Colin reached out a hand to her. "Come on."
But Sophia ignored him. She glanced at the table and grabbed a bottle of wine.
As she raised the bottle to drink the contents, Colin grasped the bottle away. He smashed the bottle onto the wall with a loud bang.
In the next moment, he lifted Sophia up. "You don't want to go home? Alright. I'll take you home."
Colin strode out of the room, carrying Sophia in his arms and leaving behind a stunned Leila.
The corridor wasn't empty at this hour. A lot of people spotted them, watching them with different looks of admiration, curiosity, and jealousy.
Sophia was furious. She started chattering in Colin's ear, "I know you like Leila a lot, but I'm your wife. Couldn't you at least show some respect? I know she threw herself into your arms, but couldn't you have refused her?
You know what, never mind! I know you love Leila. I'm asking too much. Put me down, Colin, I can walk."
Colin gritted his teeth. "Who the hell told you I loved her?"
"I don't need anyone to tell me, I can see it. Every time you call her, you're very gentle with her, always telling her to take good care of herself." She had a sour look on her face as she recalled Colin's words.
