Joseph, could you stop talking nonsense?” Sophia frowned. “There’s nothing between Howard and me. I’m here in Edgeminster on business!“

At this moment, her back pressed against the wall; she had no room to step back anymore,

The next second, Joseph’s ice-cold hand grasped her by the throat. “How dare you still lie to me? I’ve received pictures of you two making out!”

Sensing the tightening grip on her throat, Sophia instinctively tried to pry his hand off. “I didn’t—”

“You’ve been lying to me! You’ve been wearing a mask around me and deceiving me for the past five years!”

“Aren’t you the one who wanted me to wear that mask in the first place?” Sophia clasped Joseph’s fingers with all her might. “You told me to act like Miss White, so I did my duty to please you! How is it my fault now?

Joseph’s pupils shook violently for a moment. That’s right… Didn’t I like her being like that before?

Sophia felt a tearing pain in her left hand. Joseph, you’re hurting my hand! Ouch!”

Returning to his senses, Joseph subconsciously stepped back a little, and just as expected, there was blood on the bandage on her left hand. “Who told you to struggle around like that?” He dragged her to the couch and sat her down. “Did you bring any medicine with you?”

Sophia tried to retract her hand, but Joseph wouldn’t let her, the tugging made her frown in pain again

“Don’t move, I’m selling your Joseph ordered in a domineering manner

“There’s no need to dress the wound. It’s almost healed already” Sophia replied angrily

Joseph shot a glare at her with a spark of anger remanding in his eyes

“Did you just say pictures of Howard and me making ? What kind of pictures are they?” asked Sophia in a grim voice

Joseph felt his rage surge again in an instant. He unlocked his phone and accessed the photos, saying, “Here, see them for yourself How could I have wronged your

Sophia’s sullen face grew even more sullen as she scrolled through the pictures. “Did you put a tail on me?” She turned to look at him.

“I don’t have that kind of time! These are sent to me by someone else.” Joseph irritably tossed the phone aside before glaring fiercely at her.

“All these pictures are designed to trick your eyes. There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the airport’s parking lot, so why don’t you just use your resources to check out the whole footage, Mr. Lynch?” Sophia replied in a grim voice.

Joseph had never thought of such a possibility before. They’re designed to trick my eyes?”

“What else are they designed for?” Sophia laughed, speechless. These photos were taken from so many angles, but did any of them really catch me making out with Howard?”

Joseph thought about it. Indeed, none of these photos really showed Sophia and Howard getting intimate.

“Go check it out yourself. I’m going to have a sleep.” Sophia was about to get up.

But Joseph roughly pushed her back onto the couch.

“What are you doing?” Sophia’s temper rose as well.

“Who got you here on business? Why didn’t you tell me about it?” asked Joseph.

Sophia stared at him. “Something went wrong with the project I’m in charge of, so I’m here to deal with it. Why didn’t I tell you about it? Why would I have to do that? I’m not your secretary anymore, Mr. Lynch.

Instead of answering that, Joseph asked, “What about Howard Zachman, then? Why is he here?”

“Is that any of your business?” Sophia grew even more irritable. “What the hell is wrong with you, Mr. Lynch? Didn’t we already work everything out between us? Why are you pestering me like this all the time? Don’t you fear that I might get the wrong idea th
