Queen Mommy's Six Genius Babies Found the CEO Daddy - Chapter 215: Leverage
Sophia turned to leave, but the person behind her suddenly grabbed her wrist. šš£ššš ššššØšÆšš.ššØš
Olivia lifted her hand high, a slap about to land.
Sophia dodged back and immediately raised her own hand to strike backābut just as it was about to hit Oliviaās face, it froze in mid-air.
Oliviaās heart tightened. She tilted her head slightly; Sophiaās hand was only a hairās breadth from her cheek.
"Youā"
"I donāt ever want to see something like this happen again. Iām not hitting youānot because I pity you, but because I think youāre too stupid to be worth the effort. Ethan only needs to say two sentences and youāre completely fooled. Honestly, itās just one willing to hit and one willing to take it."
She threw Oliviaās hand aside and continued, "The grudge between us is far from over, but I prefer to use other methods to get my revenge. Iām SophiaāI donāt change my name, and I donāt deny what Iāve done. What I havenāt done, I absolutely wonāt admit to. With that tiny IQ of yours, youād better spend your time figuring out whoās actually setting you up."
She curled her lips, turned around, and walked off, leaving Olivia standing there alone.
A chill ran through Oliviaās chest.
Sophiaās meaning was clearāthe culprit wasnāt her. The person who orchestrated everything was someone else. And besides Sophia, the only person she could suspect was Ethan.
She clenched her fists, wrapped her scarf tightly around herself, and hurried away. But she had barely taken a few steps whenā
A hand yanked her to the side.
Just as Olivia was about to scream, a familiar, teasing voice sounded behind her.
"Donāt tell me you canāt even recognize my voice now?"
It was Aiden.
"What are you doing here?"
"I saw everything online. I came specifically to find youāand to bring you the gift I promised last time."
He pulled out a jewelry box. Inside, the necklace gleamed beautifully. Oliviaās eyes flickered, and she smiled.
"This isnāt the place to talk. Come on."
An hour later, inside a luxury hotel suite, breathless sounds filled the airāthen slowly quieted, leaving only soft panting.
"Baby, you just get more irresistible every time. Letting that bastard Ethan have you... I really do feel wronged on my part."
Olivia shot him a weak sideways look, her eyes lifting seductively. Her smooth, porcelain arm hooked around his neck as she smiled.
"Arenāt I with you right now? Isnāt that enough for you?"
Aiden laughed, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes creasing together.
He rolled onto his back, catching his breath.
"So whatās going on? How did you two end up on the hot search again?"
"No idea. Today I even thought it was Sophia and went to confront her myselfāyou mustāve seen the result."
"Sweetheart, Ethan doesnāt look like someone easy to control. And behind him is that old fox, Thomas. I used to deal with himāheās devious, calculating, and heāll do anything to get what he wants."
Olivia frowned. Thomas had never liked her.
But when he heard she was going to marry Ethan, he didnāt show much expression. Instead, he looked at her with sympathy and even promised that he would get her parents out.
Thinking back, what Sophia said wasnāt entirely unreasonable.
Sophia definitely had other ways to fight her. She didnāt need to resort to something this sloppy.
"Baby, want me to help you?"
Aidenās tone was overly warm.
Olivia chuckled and wrapped her arms around him, voice playful.
"If you can help me, of course thatād be great. But right now, the trending topic wonāt die down."
"If you want it gone, it can be gone. But stop being so naĆÆve. Ethanāyou really need to watch out for him. Thereās a good chance heās coming after the Morgan Group."
Morgan Group had been running entirely on Paulās shoulders lately. He had even poured in his own life savings just to keep the company operating normally.
A while back, Olivia also threw every spare cent she had into the company to help it survive the crisis.
Aiden tapped the tip of her nose. "You just donāt listen."
"Iām going to marry Ethan. Whatādo you have a problem with that?"
"Of course I do. You were supposed to belong to me alone."
Hearing that, Olivia lazily went along with him.
"I donāt have to marry him. I could be yours, and only yours."
Aidenās hand slid along her waist. She continued, "As long as you divorce Juliaāand marry me."
Aidenās eyes darkened.
"Sweetheart, thatās not something you can say out loud."
"Tch. I knew it. Youāre just feeding me pretty words to string me along. What storms havenāt I weathered? Aiden, your tricks donāt work on me."
"Sweetheart..."
"Alright, enough. Weāre done for today. Tonight, Iām going to pay Thomas a visit."
She wrapped the blanket around herself and got out of bed without hesitation.
Aiden watched her back as she left, dazed.
If he could actually marry her, wouldnāt he be drowning in bliss every single day?
But they had no ideaā
Across from their hotel, on the top floor of the tallest building, Sophia stood with a telescope in her hands. Beside her, Lucas let out a short laugh.
"You brought me here... to watch them?"
"Your dear uncle is the biggest troublemaker in the middle of all this. I figured you should at least see his true colors, donāt you think?"
Sophia spoke softly, his arms wrapped snugly around her waist.
Lucas rested his chin on her shoulder and asked gently, "When did you figure it out?"
"Iāve known for a while. Besides, based on Aidenās personality, he should be terrified of your auntāyet he fell headfirst under Oliviaās skirt. Shows you how dangerous young women can be to certain old men. Since I caught your uncle red-handed, how are you planning to thank me?"
Aiden was still working at Hilton Group, and Lucas had been slowly collecting reasons to force him out when the time was right.
His parents were away traveling; if they got wind of this, things would get messy fast.
"How about I put a bow on myself and gift myself to you?"
Sophia gave him a glare. "Forget it. I donāt want that."
Lucas looked gentlemanly on the outsideābut in reality, he was a wolf. No one could survive that kind of enthusiasm.
"Baby, why donāt you reconsider that idea of merging Hilton Group and YL?"
"Absolutely not. Yesterday Olivia came to me and said my mother might still be alive. I donāt know if itās true, but Iāve already sent people out to search. If sheās alive... it would be a good thing."
She still couldnāt understand itā
How could someone who was dead... suddenly appear again?
"I sent people too. Donāt worry. If sheās anywhere in City Aāwhether she just looks like her or actually is herāIāll find her."
Sophia nodded.
But plans never keep up with unexpected changes.
That afternoon, just as she returned to the company, Amelia rushed over carrying a small box.
"Morgan President, a woman left this at the front desk. Iām not sure what it is."
"Just leave it."
She opened the boxāand froze on the spot.
