Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Don’t Worry
Sophia’s chin trembled as guilt flowed over, and she swallowed hard. A sudden flow of tears came streaming down her cheeks. She reached out to grab Todd’s hand, "No, Todd, you have to listen to me. I really didn’t want to kill Eddie."
"The people that we were looking for have already confessed, it was said that they used forty bottles of alcohol. You say that you didn’t want to kill her. Are you fucking kidding me, what were you trying to do? Invite her to fireworks?" Todd said and couldn’t help but swear.
He had known Stuart for more than twenty years. They were always good friends, and they had never had any contradictions. If there were anything that she had done to try and hurt Eddie, he would kill her.
Sophia cried and shook her head in panic, "I just wanted to ruin her reputation and teach her a lesson." Todd looked at her like and finally found out for the first time what type of woman she was. He never knew that this woman, who was usually so gentle, could have such a wicked heart.
Todd coldly raised his lips, "That’s good, then I will give you a lesson. Don’t worry."
"Todd, we have been together for so long, don’t you remember our love?" Sophia’s heart was full of despair.
"You? You are just a pair of worn shoes. Who will remember the love of the old shoes?" Todd’s face was handsome and beautiful, but his words were fierce. This is the real noble son, always on the top. It was so easy to be tempted by such a despicable person; in the end, she was just like an animal.
"You..." Sophia heard Todd say such unpleasant words and widened her eyes. In the beginning, the only reason why she wanted to be with him was that of his money and power. Now, she had fallen in love with him and wanted to become Mrs. Anderson.
Now that Todd was so cold and had shown no warmth towards her, Sophia was not only disappointed but also had no hope. This kind of emotion that he showed her made her forget the fear, and she said, "Are you not afraid that I will tell others the things that I know about you and Queenie?"
When Sophia realized what she had said, she regretted it, but it was already too late. All the ridiculous smiles on Todd’s face had faded. His eyes were like a sharp blade. They were so cold that it would make people’s hair stand up. freёweɓnovel.com
"What are you talking about? Who told you that?"
Sophia raised her face and said, "I didn’t need anyone to tell me. I know why you chose me, it was because Queenie and I look very similar. Is that not the truth? There were so many gossip magazines, and no one saw this. Presumably, you didn’t want others to know, so as long as you save me from Stuart, I can guarantee that this secret will never leave my mouth."
Sophia said this, not only because she didn’t know what to do, but because she had thought about it so many times. She had always known that Todd had no feelings for her, so his relationship with Queenie was her bargaining chip. Todd slowly looked down at her so he could be at the same level as her eyes.
What came from his mouth was even colder than before. "Looked like Queenie is what you mean. You deserve what you get." She couldn’t believe what he said. Any hope that she had was gone, and she had lost all she had. She helplessly fell to the ground.
The sound of the doorbell rang, and Todd’s people had arrived. Todd lifted his head and walked away. He despised her, and he couldn’t even look at her. Then he was gone.
Eddie had to stay in the hospital for a few days and felt that she had enjoyed being treated like a Queen. Even though the doctor said that her injury was not serious, Stuart insisted that she stay there for a couple of days. He put his work on hold and was with her every day.
Because one of her hands was burned, Stuart personally feeds her three meals a day. For the first time, Eddie felt that having a husband was a great feeling.
Eddie was very clear that this fire was definitely not an accident. She knew that the glass bottles were thrown in from the outside and that it must have been someone who deliberately wanted to harm her. When Eddie asked about the incident, Stuart did not give her a direct answer. He only said that it had been handled and that she should not worry.
After lunch, Eddie and Stuart were preparing to watch a movie together. Suddenly, there was a noise in the corridor outside the VIP ward. Then, there was a loud knock on the door. "Enter," Stuart said. Whenever Stuart wasn’t talking to Eddie, his voice always remained cold.
The door of the ward was opened, and Eddie turned her head curiously. She wanted to see who it was. It was an exquisite trolley with a three-tiered wine rack. There were more than ten bottles of red wine on it. Behind it, there was another one, and then there was another one.
Three trolleys entered, and Eddie widened her eyes in surprise. Then she saw the man who followed from behind, it was Todd. Todd smiled and said hello to Stuart. "Hello," Stuart nodded without any facial expression.
Todd was too familiar with Stuart, and he didn’t care about his coldness. He turned his head and said to Eddie, "Eddie, my beautiful sister-in-law, hello." This was the first time she was actually called sister-in-law, and she was too nervous to act natural.
"You, hi, Todd..."
Eddie’s brain was suddenly frozen. She didn’t know what to call him. "Ha," Todd could not help but laugh. "Big brother, you have good taste in women. My new sister-in-law is very interesting. You don’t have to be polite, just call me Todd. I came here to apologize to you."
Apologize? Didn’t he come to visit her?
"The dog I raised was not obedient and actually bit someone. It was my responsibility. I am so sorry that she frightened you. Don’t worry. I have already dealt with her. It is my confession to you."
Of course, Eddie was not bitten by a dog. Then she immediately understood his meaning. Both Danny and Queenie had told her that Sophia’s sugar daddy was Todd. So the dog that Todd referred to was Sophia.
She ever expected that he would be so harsh when it came to Sophia, but in the eyes of Todd, she was just a small pet. Todd said that the word "handled" Although he said it casually, it was not necessarily a good thing behind it, and Eddie did not want to ask again.
Eddie’s eyes moved to the three trolleys of red wine that was across the room. Although they were far from her, she was able to see what it was. She could tell that the red wine was extraordinary.
She did, however, find it strange that he apologized with red wine.
