All the way, her mind was filled with Maxwell Shaws cold face. When Sophia came to her senses, she had already returned to the Heartwell family.
"Kneel down!"
As soon as she entered the door, she saw her father Thomas Heartwell angrily slapping the table and shouting at her.
Sophia stood upright and unmoved.
"The engagement between the Heartwell and Shaw families is canceled, do you know that the Heartwell family is about to be destroyed by you! Dont you want your grandmothers condition to improve?"
Mentioning her grandmother, Sophia finally gave in, but her dignity did not allow her to compromise.
"Heartwell Enterprises has nothing to do with me! Over the past decade, you have not fulfilled a bit of a fathers responsibility to me! In the future, you wont be able to threaten me anymore, I will bear my grandmothers medical expenses by myself!"
"Bold, dare to talk back to me! You rebellious girl!" Thomas Heartwell was so angry that he was out of breath, strode over, raised his hand and wanted to slap Sophia.
Seeing the right time, Jade Lee quickly came out of the kitchen and stopped Thomas Heartwells action: "Calm down! If the Shaw family cant do it, lets change to another family! Have you forgotten that Mr. Richard Lee said he was interested in Heartwell a few days ago?"
"Mom is right!" Anna Heartwell gloatingly added: "If my sister can hook up with Mr. Richard Lee, it is also a blessing for our Heartwell family. Not only can it solve the crisis of Heartwell, but also bring glory to our family!"
Thomas Heartwell nodded and agreed to this proposal.
"I dont want to!" Sophia immediately refuted.
She knew that these two mothers and daughters would not have any good intentions. Mr. Richard Lee is already fifty years old this year, is known for his romanticism, and has already had several wives.
Thomas Heartwells face darkened and he was about to get angry.
"What are you talking about? Its so lively." A laughter came from behind.
Maxwell Shaw walked in from the front door, still in black trousers and a white shirt.
Thomas Heartwell and Anna Heartwell greeted him flatteringly, but they saw Maxwell Shaw looking at Sophia and said, "I want to talk to Heartwell alone, is it convenient?"
"Convenient, convenient!" Thomas Heartwell quickly drove the people present away.
The intimate address touched a string in Sophias heart, as if she had returned to five years ago when she and he were still intimate lovers.
When she looked up, she just met Anna Heartwells envious eyes, as if she had regarded her as a rival, she moved the corners of her lips and raised a bitter smile.
In the living room, only she and the Maxwell behind her were left. She turned to leave, but there was already a hand on her waist, and then her whole body was pulled over by the man.
Her back was against the wall, and in front of her was Maxwell, with no way to escape.
"How about the consideration?"
Thinking of his previous suggestion of a mistress, Sophia glared at him, so angry that her face turned red: "I wont agree, its useless for you to come here!"
"Even if your job is not guaranteed? Dont say you are in my company now, even if you are elsewhere, I can make you unable to stay." Maxwell smirked.
Sophia was shocked. The mysterious president of the company where she had worked for more than two months was him?
Thinking of her grandmother, she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, swallowing the words of resignation. She was furious: "What do you want to do?"
She completely believed that he had the ability to make her unable to stay in Metropolis, and she still needs to pay for her grandmothers medical expenses. Now her financial source depends entirely on the company.
As expected, it was the same as in those years, and she would compromise for money! Maxwell sneered and spread the contract in front of her: "Sign the agreement, listen to me, and stay by my side for a month, and I will set you free!"
Thinking of her grandmother, Sophia compromised. Anyway, after this month, she will take her grandmother and leave, escaping from these people!
She signed her name on the agreement and stamped her handprint. Sophia pressed her body tightly against the wall, away from the man: "I also have a requirement, you cant force me to do things I dont like, including intimate actions!"
She knows how excellent this man is, fearing that she will sink like in those years, and she doesnt want to leave with a bunch of troubles!
"What if I want to!" Maxwell sneered, looking down at the person in his arms, her red little face was tempting and delicious, and he was fascinated and wanted to take a bite. Sophia reached out to push him.
At this moment, a roar came.
"Rebellious girl! Do you know shame!" Thomas Heartwell saw the ambiguous posture of the two people, and saw Sophias action, so angry that he walked up and dragged Sophia out and raised his palm to slap her.
