Chapter 1
Sophia Ryan brings the last course to the table, just in time to see Jason Reed and Kylie Pierce walk through the door. Married for three years, Jason's been neglecting her. On nights when he's not around, Kylie sends her provocative messages and intimate photos of Jason, as if to remind her. Three years of forced marriage, how unhappy it really is. Kylie leaned over to Jason and said sweetly, "Sophie, I'm so sorry to bother you so suddenly. Did you do all this? It's amazing! My health has not been very good, Jason loves me and won't let me cook." Sophia suppressed the hatred in her heart, her appearance is undoubtedly reminding her that Jason only has Kylie in his heart. "Now the mistress of the house can be justified on the table? How refreshing." Sophia sneered in her heart. Kylie pouted in aggravation, "Jason and I aren't like that, Sophie, don't get me wrong. It's because the doctor said I can't always eat takeout, and I heard that you cook very well, so I begged Jason to bring me here to rub it in." Sophia clenched her fists, "Kylie, do we know each other well? I remember my parents only had one daughter, not many sisters. I cook for my husband, not for you." Jason frowned, "What the hell, Sophia, is this your idea of hospitality? It's just a meal, don't make a big deal out of it." "Yeah, well, you've been serving us since you got married, so what's wrong with one more person eating." Upstairs, Emma Reed came down with an impatient expression. "Besides, if it wasn't for you, Kylie would have married my brother." Emma sat down at the table out of habit, and patted the seat beside her, "Kylie, come sit here." The five of them sat around the table, Emma and Kylie interacting intimately, Jason looking bored with them both. "Purr!" The cell phone rang, Jason picked up the phone, answered it hastily and hung up. "Something happened in the company, Sophia, you take care of it, I'm leaving first, I won't come back tonight." Jason left in a hurry. Sophia looked at the two people on the table, having lost her appetite: "I'm done eating, help yourselves." After saying that, she turned around and went upstairs. "Oops, is Sophie upset, it's all because of me." Kylie's face was full of grievances. "You do not care about her, try this ......" Emma said, began to give Kylie dishes. Sophia was lying on the bed, remembering the past three years. When she first enrolled in school, she met Jason, who was giving a speech, and she fell in love at first sight. Marrying him was a dream come true for her. But when she got married, all her fantasies were shattered. He was as gentle as she wanted him to be, but not to her. He's strong, but he won't protect her. In order to keep her fragile marriage together, she drops everything to work for the Reed family, taking care of all the household chores and serving the in-laws. No matter how much trouble Jason's mom and sister give her, she puts up with it and never gives him any trouble. She thought, as long as a little harder, a little more stoic, he will be able to see her good. But he still ignored her feelings and brought Kylie to dinner. Next thing you know, he's gonna have to make her step aside, isn't he? "Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door. Sophia opens the door, and sees Kylie with an aggrieved look, "Sophie, I'm sorry, I didn't know that it's your and Jason's three-year wedding anniversary today, and ran over to interrupt." "Jason isn't here, you don't have to act pathetic." She was in a bored mood, so she said it bluntly.
Chapter 2
Kylie Pierce's expression cooled instantly, she grunted contemptuously, and walked into Sophia's Room, "Sophia, if I were you, I'd have divorced Jason a long time ago, Jason doesn't have you in his heart at all." Sophia frowned slightly, "Does it really matter? As long as I'm not divorced, I'm still Mrs. Reed." Kylie looks around, surveying the room, "Don't flatter yourself. If I got hurt in here, guess how Jason would react?" Sophia knew in her heart, Jason would never believe herself, "Get out." "Three years, that's a long time. I came here today to tell you, I don't want to wait any longer." Kylie gave a smug smile. "What do you mean!" Sophia was vaguely uneasy. In the next second, Kylie suddenly turned around, grabbed the eyebrow trimmer on the dresser, and violently stabbed herself in the abdomen! "Sophia, I want your life!" Sophia's pupils instantly turned cold, "Kylie! What are you doing!" Kylie 's blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, her eyes fell behind her, "Sister Emma, save me ......" Hospital. When Jason arrived, the doctor came out of the emergency room just in time. "The patient has a ruptured kidney and needs a transplant!" "Sophia, you're so cruel!" Sophia was pulled aside by him, staggered a step, "It's not me, it's herself ......" Jason pushed her hard against the wall, "Are you going to say Kylie stabbed herself!" "Sophia! I saw it with my own eyes, when Kylie went to apologize, it just happened to happen in your room, you stabbed her, and if I hadn't gotten here in time, Kylie would be dead!" Emma accused with tears in her eyes. The doctor looked anxious, "The patient is in critical condition!" "You! You donate your kidney to Kylie!" Emma suddenly seems to remember something, pointing at Sophia, "She's the universal blood type, surely she can match successfully." Jason approached Sophia, staring at her coldly. Sophia kept shaking her head, "You ...... don't come over." "Doctor, match her." Jason opened his mouth. "No, it's nothing to do with me, I didn't stab her ......" Sophia struggled back. But Jason didn't come alone, he nodded slightly, and the bodyguards surged up behind him. "Jason!"Sophia did not know where to get the strength, pushed away a bodyguard in front of her, "Do you really want my kidney to compensate for Kylie?" "You're the one who wronged her, it's only right to compensate her." Jason said with a cold face. "You don't even see it with your own eyes, and you're assuming I'm guilty?" Sophia's heart was like a knife. Jason frowned, "Would Emma lie to me? Is the doctor lying too?" Sophia sneered in exasperation, over the past three years, Kylie had pulled more than one stunt, Emma had bullied her many times, but Jason believed everyone else, just not her. "Jason, let's get a divorce." "Now you're repentant?" Jason's expression was full of mockery. Sophia's heart went cold, "From now on, we'll go our separate ways, whether you marry Kylie or someone else, it's none of my business." Jason snorted, "If you want a divorce, you can have it. Until then, you have to pay for your mistakes." Sophia's eyes were firm, showing a very strong attitude, "I have been tolerating because I love you, Jason, today I finally realized that I am blind to love you! You can't touch my organs, in your dreams!" She didn't believe that the woman who wanted to replace her and marry Jason would be willing to do that to her. "Get out of the way!" She pushed the doctor out of the way and barged straight into the operating room. Kylie is lying on the operating table, talking to the nurse. "You want me dead so bad." Sophia said coldly. "Sister Ryan ......" Splat- Sophia slapped her as hard as she could, as hard as she could.
Chapter 3
"Sophia!" caught up Jason Reed, grimacing. "What, afraid I'll hurt her?" Sophia's tone was dismissive. Jason's eyes fall on Kylie Pierce and he says reassuringly, "Don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you." The bottom of Kylie's eyes flashed a smirk of triumph, "Brother Jason, I'm in so much pain ah ......" Sophia pressed her fingers to her abdomen, "Want it?" "Sister Sophia, Kylie didn't blame you, if you don't want to transplant me, I have no complaints." That's what she said, but Kylie shed a tear as she said it. "If you want it, you have to hurt it bad enough." Sophia walked towards her with an oozing aura around her. She lifted the sterile cloth covering Kylie's body, and the wound on her abdomen was clearly shown to everyone. Jason's face instantly grimaced. On the white abdomen, there was only a three-centimeter scratch, shallow in depth, and now it wasn't even bleeding. As Sophia expected, the eyebrow razor is not sharp, and small, Kylie is not cruel enough to really hurt herself. Once upon a time, she cared about Jason, did not want to make him angry, did not want to fight with him. So, let Kylie use her little tricks. Now, her heart is like iron. No longer care about Jason's emotions, she can not tolerate Kylie to throw dirt on her. "Ms. Kylie, cutting a slit and wanting my kidney is a fool's errand." She steps closer, her fingers landing on Kylie's wound. "No ......" Kylie had never seen her like this, eerie as a devil crawling out of hell, "I ...... don't know anything. , maybe the doctor misdiagnosed it, sis don't be mad." "Yes? Then let me tear it bigger for you, let your brother Jason see clearly, whether your internal organs are ruptured or not." Sophia's fingers exerted force, Kylie's abdominal wound instantly overflowed with blood. Kylie's eyes widened, innocently looking at Jason, "Brother Jason save me! For the sake of Pei Yu's face, you save me ah ......" Hearing Pei Yu's name, Jason loosened up. An arrow step rushed over, holding Sophia's wrist, "Enough." Sophia loosened her hand on Kylie, disheartened, "It's enough." "Jason, I'll send you the divorce papers, and from now on, we'll have nothing more to do with each other." Looking at Sophia's back, Jason's heart felt like something was empty, it was hard to tell. "Jason brother ......" Kylie softly voiced out. Jason shook off those strange thoughts, Sophia is an orphan girl, leaving him, she did not even have a source of livelihood. Today, he had wronged her. He'll make up for it later. For now, let's deal with the matter at hand. Jason turned to the doctor, "Ruptured kidney? Critical?" The doctor was trembling, his eyes darting to Kylie every now and then, "It's not a misdiagnosis, Mr. Reed, give us a break, it was all Miss Kylie's idea, she said that as soon as Sophia passed away, she ......" "Get out!" Jason got angry. "I've indulged you too much these past few years." His eyes were dark. "Brother Jason, I was wrong, for Pei Yu's sake, spare me." Kylie cried and begged. Jason sighed, "This is the last time, Kylie, Sophia's place will never be yours. If you dare to cheat and fool me again, Pei Yu can't save you even if he lives." Leaving the hospital, Jason made several calls to Sophia but she didn't answer. Sophia seems to have evaporated from the world, her home, her company, the places she frequents, she can't be found at all. ...... The Ryan Residence. The man on the living room couch had his legs folded, his gold-rimmed eyes lined with reserve, "Ken back?" Sophia looked at him, flattened her mouth, crying her heart out, "Brother!" "What are you crying for, if you are bullied, bully back, are you still afraid that your brother won't be able to support you?" The man spoke carelessly.
Chapter 4
Michael Ryan pursed his lower lip, his eyes glittering with anger. His and Sophia Ryan's parents had died young, and over the years he had always treated her as his own, never letting her suffer. If he hadn't promised Sophia that he wouldn't reveal her identity, he never would have let Jason Reed off the hook. Tired of crying, Sophia said in a muffled voice, "Brother, I want a divorce." She finally realized that if Jason Reed really cared about her, he would never let Kylie Pierce steal her name in such an outrageous way. For the sake of that so-called love, she lowered herself, compromised, and cut herself off from her family and friends. Everything she did for Jason Reed, she did. However, she could not let go of her dignity, which made her struggle repeatedly. Michael Ryan rubbed her hair dotingly, "Good." "Shu, we agreed to live for ourselves, and the inheritance left by mom and dad is yours. Now that you've decided to get a divorce, come back and take over the family business." Sophia nodded, "Brother, thank you." Michael Ryan smiles, "As far as I'm concerned, let's keep it that way. Let Landon Pierce take you to familiarize you with the company first, ask me if you don't understand anything. My little princess is coming back, and she's going to have everything she wants." Sophia nodded, feeling a warmth in her heart. She took the divorce papers to Jason Reed's house, only to find that he wasn't there, and Emma Reed was the only person in the house. Seeing Sophia back, Emma immediately remembered that she had been deducted a whole month's allowance by Jason, and her anger instantly erupted, "Yo, can't make a living before you come back? I thought you were so tough, but you came back just to spend my brother's money." "This is the divorce agreement, have Jason sign it when he comes back, then mail it to me, the mailing address is on the paper at the back." Sophia said coldly. "You ......" Emma saw Sophia body wear, it is last week's Paris runway show of new models, domestic even booked to wait until next year, can not help but doubt her origin. "Sophia Ryan, I tell you, don't think my brother find you a few days, you can get carried away. Hurry up and go cook, Auntie Wu went home on vacation, I don't want to eat takeout." Sophia looked at her coldly, the grievances in her heart for many years finally could not be endured any longer. She threw the divorce papers in her hand on Emma's face, "Look carefully, I do not serve you! Emma Reed, you have a mean face, do your celebrity girlfriends know? Emma Reed, do your celebrity girlfriends know about this mean face of yours? Open your eyes wide and look carefully, the Lady you married is not your nanny!" "Don't you ...... you dare call me names!" Emma looked at her incredulously. Sophia has been patient all these years, now this kind of counterattack is the first time she has seen. "Emma Reed, if it were me, I'd have learned how to grow a brain and stop talking like a crank. And if your brother dies, be careful you don't let people sell you and give you money." Sophia was merciless. Emma suddenly froze, was scolded speechless. Waiting for Sophia to walk out of the door, Emma then spoke out angrily, "Sophia Ryan, you wait, I'll tell my brother!" The door of the office was pushed open, Emma held up the divorce agreement in her hand, heavily slapped on Jason's desk, "Brother, Sophia Ryan is too arrogant, she even scolded me!" "She's back?" Jason's gaze flashed with a hint of anticipation. "Ah, just came home, and said something about divorce." Emma back to God, looking at the hands of the agreement to react to, "She is out there can not live, actually still want to divorce you? This must be the desire to escape, brother, I tell you, this kind of woman ......" "Shut up." Jason got a headache from her voice. The divorce papers were written in black and white, Jason squeezed the papers hard, his knuckles white, "Did she really say she wanted a divorce?"
Chapter 5
Emma Reed was afraid to say more. Flipping through the papers, Jason Reed's face was terribly somber. "Brother?" Emma Reed asked tentatively, "Did she ask for money?" Jason Reed pursed his lips, the terms of the document were clear and concise, almost a clean break. Emma Reed saw his face was not good, and strengthened her idea, "He said that kind of woman, married to me will not get money, seeing that you really like Kylie, she knows she has no way out, she wants to one-hit deal, so absolutely can not agree to her!" Sophia Ryan thought she was making a very low offer, and Jason Reed really had no reason to refuse. But she didn't expect that when she got home, she would get a call from her lawyer. "Ms. Ryan, he will represent Jason to discuss the details of the divorce with you." "What's there to talk about?" Sophia Ryan said coldly. The lawyer looked carefully at the man beside her, then said, "Ms. Ryan, Jason has prepared thirty million dollars in cash and a piece of real estate for you as compensation for the divorce." Sophia Ryan snorted coldly, "What does he think he's doing? It's clear in the agreement, he won't be begging the Reeds for a dime." The lawyer had never received such an outrageous divorce case in his life, usually one side of the family to the other side of the money, but this man is begging for money to his wife, and the wife does not ask for it at all. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he continued, "That's what was agreed upon in the prenuptial agreement, so please accept it." "I don't accept." Sophia Ryan hung up the phone. During her years at Reed's house, she'd been a ReedLady in name only, but in reality she'd done all the work of a servant. She had money, she didn't want to beg Jason for money, and she didn't want to act like a servant, take the money and do the work, and Jason and the Reed family felt that they didn't owe her anything. Hang up the phone, she picked up the car keys. Yesterday, she and Landon Pierce already made an appointment to go to the company to familiarize themselves with the industry. Walking into the garage, Sophia Ryan took a deep breath, and saw the real her. Six hundred square feet of underground garage, parked full of Michael Ryan's collection over the years, the car keys in her hand were just handed over to her yesterday. Michael and his brother mentioned, the new Aston Martin on the foreign car show is particularly good-looking, tomorrow will be transported to the garage. Ryan & Reed Tower. Sophia Ryan arrives at the garage, tosses the key to the doorman and steps inside. "Hey, that woman, what's up?" As soon as she stepped into the lobby, she was stopped. Sophia Ryan lowered her sunglasses, "I'm looking for Kylie." The receptionist looked her up and down, her clothes didn't have any logos on them, she didn't know what brand they were, she looked at her casually, she pulled a face, "Come here." Sophia Ryan walks up to the front desk, she sees two heavily made-up receptionists, the one who stops her throws her a book, "Register for an appointment." She was a little confused, how did Reed Enterprises register in such an easy way? There didn't seem to be any way to guarantee customer information. Writing down her information, the receptionist coldly put the pen and paper away, pointing to the couch in the corner, "Go wait." Turning her head, Sophia Ryan saw a row of women in short skirts walking on the sofa, either innocent or slutty, without fail looking at the elevator for the president. Sophia Ryan's head was full of questions, Landon's reputation for being a slut in the past few years was well known, but it wasn't so exaggerated, was it? Did the receptionist really think she was one of those women? "Heh...he's got something for Kylie, she doesn't want to chase him." Sophia Ryan explained patiently. The receptionist said impatiently, "I know, I know, go wait." Even if Sophia Ryan was good-tempered, her heart was full of fire, she dialed the phone, "I'll be right there!"
