Smack!

It was so loud that it startled the people upstairs and downstairs.

Sophia went up to Norman and slapped him right on the face.

Norman looked at her in disbelief.

He had provoked so many women in his life, but he had never been slapped in the face.

Although he had inexplicably “slept” with Sophia, he didn’t have much memory of that night, which caused him so much trouble. No matter how he looked at it, it wasn’t to his advantage.

Sophia insisted on having the child of a one-night stand. Was he in the wrong to give her a sum of money instead?

Sophia did not want Norman to see her cry. After the slap, she turned her body away from him.

When Sophia turned around, she found that there was another man standing in the corridor.

It was the man she saw in the backyard pool.

He was wearing a nice suit, which covered his powerful muscles. The brutal and dangerous aura seemed to be sealed by the suit, as he exuded only elegance and nobility. He stood at the corner, frowning, looking very impatient.

The two of them looked at each other in the corridor. One looked impatient, and the other looked aggrieved.

Those who did not know would think that he had made her cry.

Sophia did not want to cry in front of anyone, but she could not control her tears.

The man was a little overwhelmed by her aggrieved look, so he had no choice but to put away the unfriendly expression on his face and went downstairs.

He handed the handkerchief to her.

Sophia took the handkerchief and suddenly burst into tears uncontrollably.

Anita and Olivia, who were just eavesdropping in the corner, were so frightened by the noise that they hurriedly came to her aid.

“Sophia!”

The two stopped when they saw the other man beside Sophia.

Olivia was mesmerized by the man’s face and figure. She squealed and exclaimed, “He’s so handsome!”

Anita immediately restrained her movements and said timidly, “Seb, you’re back?”

Anita’s second brother, Sebastian, only responded with a soft “Mm” and did not say anything else.

Sophia was bawling her eyes out. After Olivia admired Sebastian’s looks, she quickly walked to her side with her heart aching. She put her arm around her shoulder and let her head rest on her shoulder.

She looked at Norman, who was at a loss.

After hearing Norman’s scummy reply, Olivia had nothing to say to him. She just glared at him fiercely.

Then she looked at Sebastian on the other side.

He looked even more handsome up close…

Olivia introduced herself in a low voice, “Hello, Sebby… I’m Anita’s new friend, Olivia. You’re so good-looking. Do you have a girlfriend? If not, how about me?”

Olivia, who was studying art, had been on a journey in search of beauty. When she saw such a beautiful “model,” she seemed to have reached the end of her journey.

She wanted to introduce herself when she saw Norman. However, when she thought that Norman might be the father of Sophia’s child, she held back.

She did not expect to meet another man who was even more attractive than Norman.

Sebastian said coldly, “No, I don’t want you and please don’t call me Sebby.”

Olivia did not mean what she had said to begin with. It was her reflex when she saw an attractive man. She was not the least bit upset when she was rejected. She said, “How about Seb?”

Sebastian said to Anita, “What’s happening here, a play?”

Anita shook her head and nodded again.

Sebastian was giving Sophia a way out of the tense situation.

“Well, you carry on with what you were doing.”

Sebastian walked down the stairs and saw Norman.

He paused for a moment, then brushed past him as if nothing had happened.

After Sebastian walked down the stairs, there was another short quarrel upstairs. He seemed to have heard the girl who had a nosebleed in front of him sighing softly and said, “Forget it.”

In fact, he had been on the stairs for a long time and had heard every word of the conversation between Sophia and Norman.

He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, looked at the various luxury cars in the garage, and randomly chose one to sit in.

In the comfortable driving seat, he could not help but think about what had just happened.

The girl named Sophia was praised by his former lecturer when he visited Rotary University.

She was a finance major like he was and was the top student of her class.

The teacher wanted him to recruit Sophia into the company because she was really an excellent student.

Then there was the national college football game where Anita was invited to be a member of the cheerleading squad. With her looks, she was given plenty of airtime on the live broadcast of the game. Their parents supported her. Not only did they push her brothers to sponsor the team, but they also forced them to sit in front of the television and watch the live broadcast of the game.

He had thought that it was just a boring game organized by a group of boring college students. He wasn’t one bit interested. He only reluctantly looked at Anita after she appeared on the television.

And that was when he noticed the girl next to his sister.

A beautiful girl with a lot of confidence and energy..
