Chapter 11 Sofia’s gaze remained fixed on Finley’s intense, piercing eyes. Her heart began to race, and she found it difficult to catch her breath. Finley clenched his jaw and shook his head. “I told you to apologize, Sofia. I wanted you to make amends with Ellie for what you did wrong.” “It seems to me that you deserved to have your hand mutilated.” “Are you deaf? I want to hear you say sorry!” Finley’s low, venomous tone was equivalent to his yelling. Sofia closed her eyes in pain. His fingers gripping her wrist were digging into her skin. She backed away, and Finley released his grip. Straightening her posture, Sofia approached Mr. Baker and Mr. Richmond. Finley’s face turned w**e, and his eyes narrowed. The two felt an overwhelming sense of embarrassment. They had once been close friends with Robert, and the current situation had put them in an extremely uncomfortable position.

Mr. Baker looked at Sofia as she approached him, and he laughed heartily. “Hello, Sofie! I haven’t seen you for three years. Let me pour you a drink!” Sofia was just about to pour him a glass, but Mr. Baker interrupted her.

If she did, Sofia would d*e. Sofia was f**ed with a difficult choice. If she refused to drink, she would have to apologize to Finley and Ellie, something she was determined not to do. She didn’t do anything wrong and would never say sorry to the woman who had framed her. Sofia would rather d*e. Mr. Baker smiled as he eagerly popped open the cork and poured the spirits into a large glass. “Come on, Sofie! Have a drink with your Uncle Baker and Uncle Richmond!” Sofia raised her glass with difficulty, her hand shaking. terribly, and met the men’s cruel smiles. She knew she was delusional. For three whole years, they hadn’t helped the Campbells and had fallen into corruption. They wouldn’t dare disobey Finley. Helping her wouldn’t bring them any profit. So, they would torture her. Probably just to please Finley. Sofia took a deep breath, held the glass of whiskey to her lips, and tilted her head. She coughed, sputtered, and almost choked. Sofia couldn’t drink it.

It twisted his nerves to know that she would rather throw herself at another man than apologize to him. Meanwhile, Sofia’s stomach roiled, the cramps making her want to vomit. Her face was w**e as a sheet, and she looked up helplessly at Mr. Baker. Mr. Baker, however, laughed. “Since Mr. Stewart wants you. too, I’ll let you kiss me.” Mr. Richmond smiled at him as if it was their gift to Sofia to let her kiss the two old men. In their minds, by humiliating Sofia, they believed they could gain a higher favor from Finley, and they saw it as a beneficial trade-off. Besides, it was Sofia’s own fault for the situation she found herself in Sofia laughed bitterly. Her family had taught her to maintain dignity, but she had none left.

I can’t believe you’re that petty.” Chapter 11 Finley was so enraged that he dragged her away from Mr. Baker and slapped her hard.

Her smile was pale and terrible. “You’re right, Mr. Stewart. I’m a real bitch, no doubt! You offered to pay me if I kissed Mr. Baker and Mr. Richmond. If you double your price, I can take both of them in bed at the same time!” Finley’s body trembled as he placed two hands around Sofia’ s throat, squeezing. Her two hands
clutched his wrist in a death grip, and Finley smiled menacingly. The two men’s faces turned pale, their expressions shifting from arrogance to panic.

Meroy was also alarmed and rushed over. “What’s going on here?” Justin made a helpless noise. “I think he’s gone crazy.” Finley’s long strides agitated Sofia’s stomach. Her face turned paler by the minute, the whiskey she drank burning every inch of her organs. She was carried into the bedroom, and she noticed it was black and w**e, mirroring the cold and heartless man hel was. Finley threw Sofia straight onto the bed, took out his wallet, and dumped its contents on Sofia’s face and body.
