Chapter 277 How is She Like
Sophia nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll tell Colin about it. You don't have to worry about Hugh, he's good man. There's no doubt that he will meet someone who loves him!" "Okay, Sophia, I'll leave you then!"
"Okay. Goodbye!"
Finally, just like Gregary, Jonas was sentenced to death, and it wouldn't be long until they received their execution shot.
In her time, Sophia was either designing clothes for Ambrose, or looking for matches for Hugh, since she was feeling idle at home.
Although she was pregnant, Sophia had to attend various parties with Wendy to find Hugh a good girl.
Colin often cast her glances of bitterness when he noticed that she was going to garden parties, and asked whether she took Hugh's matter too seriously.
Every time she wanted to go to a party, Sophia had to coax Colin for some time beforehand.
To make Sophia stop worrying about Hugh's love life, Colin decided to help him for her.
And when Sophia was five months pregnant, she received an invitation to Hugh's wedding.
The bride was none other than the youngest daughter of the Ho family, Gill.
She had just turned 20, and was a student at the military academy. Through Herring, she had already met Hugh several times.
And more than that, she used to be a big fan of Hugh. The waterside flower sheds its petals for love, while the heartless brook ignores them and flows on. Of course, that flower was Gill. When Colin showed his true intention to her, she was so happy that she nearly gave up the opportunity to become a navy recruit.
But when Colin told her that he wouldn't help her if she did so, she immediately calmed down.
Hugh undoubtedly knew that Sophia and Colin were doing all of this for him, But he didn't care who it was.
To make them stop worrying about him, he and Gill got their marriage certificates shortly before her graduation. Hermosa was satisfied when she saw Gill, this frank, energetic girl, who had become her daughter-in-law. After her son's wedding ceremony, Hermosa left her home and became a nun.
At the Li manor
Sophia had just come back from Hugh's wedding. She held a basket of nuts in her lap, and played on her iPad with Selina.
"Sophia, what do you think about this? I want to buy a bottle of this cleanser." Selina then tapped on a live link.
It was a woman introducing an imported cleanser on the screen, but when she saw her, Sophia instantly swallowed the nuts she was chewing. "Jamie?"
"Who?" asked Selina. She cast her a glance, and asked, "You know her?"
Sophia nodded, and said, "When I was in your brother's company, she and I were both Colin's secretaries." She didn't know why she was doing live presentations now. "Really? How is she like?" She thought that if someone had a nice personality, then the product recommended by him or her must also be very good.
Remembering the past, Sophia shook her head and asked Selina to turn it off.
But she grinned soon after she got a call from Colin, and answered, "Honey."
Selina cast her a complaining glance, and said, "I should ask Levi to learn from Colin." She had seldom seen him in those past few days, let alone get a call from him. Were it not for the fact that he had a confidential job, she might have thought that Levi did not love her.
"What did you just say?" Sophia's face then slightly changed.
Colin repeated it for her. "Dorothy had a miscarriage, and now the police is about to officially arrest her."
"But how did she miscarry?" Sophia unconsciously touched her swollen belly.
"It was an induced labor, because she had been crazy. It was a girl." She thought that maybe karma was real. She didn't even have to do it herself.
Sophia surmised that both of their unborn babies were about six months old.
Sophia thought to herself, 'Jesus... How sad she must have been when she lost the girl..."
Sensing that her breath had become rapid, Colin tried to calm her, and said, "Don't think too much about it, and I also suggest you not go to see her. You should just rest at home." Colin thought that she should be emotionally stable since she was carrying a child.
"Okay. But will she... die?" carefully asked Sophia.
Colin stolidly answered, "Her womb
was removed but she's out of
elinet
harm's way for the moment. Anyway, I'm sure that she will be sentenced to death." Earlier, because she was pregnant, things were more complicated for the law.
But now since she had miscarried, everything was a lot easier for them to deal with.
Sophia took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself. She said, "I see. Don't overwork yourself!"
"Okay, dear. Wait for me at home!"
"Okay." She then hung up with a smile on her face.
Meanwhile, Selina was texting Levi, "Honey, why don't you change your job and work with Colin instead. Let me be your little secretary, so we can be together everyday." Of course, she was just joking.
When Sophia was still thinking of Dorothy, Selina waved her hands in front of her, and said, "Sophia, what on Earth are you thinking of?"
"Dorothy... She miscarried." She answered her with her exact thoughts.
Selina was surprised at first, but
then showed her indifference to the
matter and said, "Don't be sad for her. Remember what she did to you? But luckily, nothing happened to
your child! I guess karma came after
her!" śFindNovel.net
"Well, I'm not sad for her, it's just that, it's too sudden. Like... last time when she suddenly hit her mother with her car." She would never forget the way Dorothy had treated her!
When Dorothy's life signs were stable, she was taken to the police station and her case was moved into a trial.
As they had expected from the start, she was sentenced to death.
Sophia didn't pay her a visit once because she was pregnant.
She heard the news about Dorothy's
sentence from Colin and Aaron. Dorothy was greatly tormented in prison as she awaited her execution, she was bullied by other female prisoners. They had even tied her to the toilet, forcing her to sleep on it.
Patrick was the one who arranged her funeral.
From that day on, there was no Lien family anymore, no Gregary, Marcella, or Dorothy.
Jonas was dead, and so was the entire Lien family. Aaron's anger was soothed, and he went to Shine Empire a couple of days before Gloria got engaged.
But Gloria's father, Potrick, sent his men to find Aaron and escort him out of the country, because he knew that his daughter had once been desperate for this man.
He wouldn't allow anything happen to his daughter just before she was about to get settled.
But Aaron was not discouraged, and on the day before Gloria's engagement, Jay arrived in Shine Empire. The father and son then went to Potrick's villa with their betrothal presents to propose for the marriage Out of his respect for Jay, Potrick didn't throw Aaron out straightaway. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
