William Hunter watched as Emily Thompson seemed to lunge at Sophia Davis, grabbing at something on her. He saw Sophia, seemingly caught off guard, about to fall due to the sudden attack. He stepped in like a deus ex machina, quickly moving behind Sophia and holding her tilting body, stabilizing her and preventing her from falling.
Close call!
Emily was also startled. She had seen Sophia almost fall, and while she didnt know why, she was well aware that Sophia was pregnant. A fall could have disastrous consequences.
So she was a bit dazed, not knowing whether she was scared by the situation or reprimanded by William Hunter, her face was pale.
"Sophia, are you alright?" William Hunter held Sophia carefully, comforting her.
Sophia inwardly sighed with regret, but her face feigned a frightened appearance, clutching one of William Hunters arms and shivering, "Im fine, Im fine..."
She said she was fine, but the way she spoke was clearly not convincing.
William Hunter, with one hand around her body and the other gently patting her back, soothed her carefully, "Dont be afraid, Im here now, its okay, dont be afraid..."
Emily stood there, watching the two people closely embraced, feeling her eyes sour terribly. It was only now that she realized how superfluous she was, how overconfident she had been.
She only now realized that the whole world had abandoned her, yet she was still holding on to illusions.
It turned out she was not only cheap but also, stupid!
Really stupid!
Emily wanted to leave with a flick of her sleeve, showing a disdainful attitude.
But in reality, she couldnt. She had no right to do so, moreover, that ten million dollar check was still in Sophias hands. She had to get the check back.
"I..."
"You still have the face to stay here?"
As soon as Emily tried to speak, she was harshly interrupted by William Hunter. His gaze towards her was icy, making one feel uneasy.
"She took my..." Emily didnt want to get entangled with them; she just wanted her money back.
But how could Sophia let her have her way, and before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted again as Sophias body went limp, and she clutched her stomach, crying out, "William, my stomach hurts! It hurts so much!"
William Hunters face changed completely, and he hurriedly picked up Sophia, "Sophia, bear with it, Ill take you to the hospital right now!"
Without waiting for a response, he turned and left, carrying Sophia.
Seeing them about to leave, Emily panicked, "She took my check, she hasnt given it back to me..."
William Hunter paused, not even turning his head, and coldly left a sentence, "Emily Thompson, I warn you, if anything happens to Sophia, you can expect your whole family to join her!"
Emilys body jolted as if pierced by a thousand arrows, the pain was blinding, and she nearly fainted on the spot.
She leaned against the wall with one hand, gasping heavily to keep from being knocked down by his words.
Her whole family to join her in death! How could William Hunter say such a thing!
For Sophia, he was ready to erase her entire existence! So ruthless!
So hateful!
At this moment, Emily suddenly felt an intense hatred for this man; he was so heartless, and she hated herself for being so useless!
But what could she do?
The ten million was gone! Her mother was still waiting to be saved!
What could she do?
Emily squatted on the ground powerlessly, hugging her knees and wailing loudly. She didnt know what to do!
