Chapter 662
"Sophia, I..."
Chuck was at a loss. He was completely bewildered.
After a while, Sophia came to her senses. She bit her lips and put on her clothes in silence.
When she woke up, she was horrified.
She was astonished to see herself going out of control.
Sophia's heart was brimming with shame. She really couldn't face what she had done.
She really didn't know what to do now. Chuck didn't force her and had done it with him voluntarily.
She was confused. Previously Elise had told her that Chuck wanted to do her. She was already agonizing over that statement. Eventually, she had no choice to agree since she was the one who had promised Chuck something!
Back then, she was desperate! However, Chuck didn't ask that of her, so she was relieved.
Although nothing happened previously, she had finally done it this time.
Sophia calmed herself down. She turned to look at Chuck.
He was the second man who had taken her.
He was young and charming. He wasn't even a local!
Sophia sighed and tried her best to remain calm. She assured him, "I... You don't have to worry. It's all my fault."
"But I..." Chuck was also distressed.
He couldn't explain what had happened just now. Perhaps, he was thinking of Yvette.
"No, it's my fault," Sophia's gaze was dim.
The atmosphere in the car was abnormally silent.
The silence was awkward and suffocating.
"You don't have to think about anything. Just consider it a dream. Both you and I have woken up, so that means that we should forget about everything that had happened."
Sophia trembled and pleaded, "Chuck, please don't tell anyone what happened just now, okay? I'm begging you!"
If someone else found out, she wouldn't know how to face her family.
She didn't think about killing Chuck at all. If she silenced him, no one would ever know of this.
However, she couldn't do it.
Why was that so?
It was because Chuck was the second man in her life.
He had swept in and saved her heroically, then slept with her here.
That was why Sophia could not hurt him. She could only beg Chuck.
"Sophia, I won't tell anyone about what happened just now. Don't worry," Chuck assured her.
He couldn't describe how he was feeling now.
He had never thought that something like this would happen. Now that he had a closer look, Sophia was indeed gorgeous and well- groomed. She looked slightly pitiful now.
It didn't matter how powerful Sophia was or how much influence she had as the head of her family. Right now, she was no more than a normal woman.
She was pitiful, but she pretended that she was fine and that she was strong.
She was wallowing in despair.
Chuck was already in the wrong. How could he hurt Sophia again by spreading the news out?
"Thank you. I'll trust you," Sophia fell silent.
There was nothing else to say.
She felt as if she was in a dream, but she believed Chuck wholeheartedly. This was because Chuck's gaze was steady and sincere. He wasn't lying!
"Shall I take you out now?" Chuck asked.
"No, there's no need. I'm already awake. Send me back," Sophia shook her head unnaturally.
Chuck fell silent.
He already felt really sorry for Yvette the last time something similar happened with Quinn. Now, he had done it again...
Chuck sighed. How would he face Yvette?
Yvette's love for him was genuine. However, he still did such a thing. His mood immediately worsened.
"Chuck, what's wrong? Are you tired?" Sophia asked softly. She couldn't help but feel concerned for him. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
"No. I just feel sorry for my wife," Chuck muttered. He started to open his heart to Sophia perhaps because of her gentle tone.
Sophia was stunned. She recalled meeting Chuck's wife, Yvette Jordan, before.
She also knew that Yvette was particularly beautiful and young. Compared to herself, her age was already much older than Yvette's.
"I won't let anyone else know, Chuck. Don't worry, trust me. I won't let Yvette know. Trust me, alright?" Sophia's tone softened.
Chuck could only sigh. Sophia couldn't help but want to comfort him. After all, she was the person who had stopped him from leaving a while ago.
She felt so guilty!
To admit something that she would rather not, she actually had sex with a younger man.
Chuck was years younger than her. He was almost the same age as her daughter!
Sophia admitted that Chuck was on the losing end of the bet here. That was why she felt so bad!
In fact, she had a moral compass that she followed closely. She followed whatever was morally correct, and rejected anything that went against her beliefs.
Right now, she felt sorry for Chuck!
It wasn't a matter of feelings or status. Based solely on the fact that she was much older than him, she was already feeling extremely bad towards him.
Due to that guilt, she couldn't kill him. She couldn't bring herself to do so.
"Yeah," Chuck came to his senses and felt that it was really strange to talk to her about this.
They stared at each other.
A few seconds later, both of them lowered their heads at the same time.
"I think we should stop cooperating," Chuck suggested.
"Your mother has already transferred the money to me, so you're already considered an investor. How can I just stop the cooperation just like this? Don't worry, I will share the profits with you. I won’t take a single penny from you, so just trust me," Sophia felt slightly bitter.
"I believe in you, but..." Chuck was in a dilemma. In such a situation, how could he continue asking her to make money for him? What would that make him?
For their partnership to continue, they had to maintain a professional relationship.
However, now that they no longer had a professional relationship, they could no longer continue cooperating.
"Just trust me. I'll give you the money on time, so don't worry. What had happened just now was just a dream. Both of us are awake and aware now. Let's just forget about it. Is that alright, Chuck?" Sophia asked.
"Su-sure," Chuck replied. He had mixed feelings.
"That's good. You don't have to worry about the cooperation since I'll take care of it," Sophia told him softly.
"Ok."
There was another bout of silence.
Chuck had not expected such a situation, so he was still stupefied.
"Chuck, I'm leaving," Sophia's voice broke the silence in the car.
With that, Chuck went out hurriedly.
Immediately after, Sophia stepped out of Chuck's car and headed toward hers.
"Sophia..." Chuck called out to her.
Upon hearing Chuck's voice, Sophia turned around.
"Remember to be extra careful," Chuck said after holding back for a long time.
If Sophia had been on her guard this time, such a thing would not have happened.
"Okay, I'll be careful in the future. I'm going back, you... should drive carefully," Sophia walked over and got into her own car.
Soon, she drove away.
Chuck stood there, frozen for a while. Just then, Black Rose came running over and asked, "Alright, let's send Sophia to the hospital... Wait. Where is Sophia?"
Black Rose had already dealt with Bruce from the Oatker family. It had taken her some time since he didn't feel any pain!
"Her driver took her away," Chuck came to his senses and quickly gave her an excuse.
"Oh, that's good. By the way, do you want this?" Black Rose heaved a sigh of relief.
Sophia's condition was relatively easy to settle. If her driver sent her home, that would be enough. After all, they had helped save her from Bruce, so she was already indebted to them. There was no need to send her home personally.
During such extreme times, it was better to be extra careful.
In addition, Black Rose had found two bottles in Bruce's pockets.
Black Rose could tell that they were the drugs that the Oatker family had developed. They were the sort of drugs that could paralyze one's sense of pain, allowing them to fight for prolonged periods. This was useful during desperate times.
"What's this?" Chuck asked in surprise.
"It's a kind of paralyzing drug. When you are in danger and you want to go all out, you can use it. Do you want it? I'll give you one," Black Rose also wanted to use one for herself.
It was something she could use if she was in danger. Black Rose was pretty determined. Even in the face of death, she wanted to die with dignity.
Chuck looked at them and had an urge to take all of them. He asked, "Can you give them all to me?"
"Nope. You can take one, while the other one is mine. If you are in danger, I can use this to protect you," Black Rose said.
"Thank you," Chuck nodded his head at her as a sign of thanks. Of course, he would take it to protect himself. He could use it at dire times!
"By the way, where is that person?" He asked.
"He's dead. Do you expect him to still be alive?" Black Rose didn't really care about Bruce's background. She'd be slightly concerned previously, but now that Karen was going to decimate the Oatker family, there was no need to be worried about revenge.
"Where are you going now? Home?" She asked.
"No, I'm hungry. Let's go for dinner. It's on me," Chuck had said that he wanted to treat her to dinner.
"Do you think I don't have money? Why do I need you to treat me?" She scoffed before going off to drive her own car.
She could eat as much as she wanted.
