Sophie Allen felt her scalp being pulled so harshly it was painful, her eyes stung but she held back her tears.
She gasped for breath,"You went to great lengths to drag here, surely not just to beat up, right?"
After saying this, she looked around the scene. It was an old, abandoned factory. The sll of engine oil was a bit unpleasant. Apart from Emily Allen, there were also, Mia Stewart, and her ex-boyfriend who cheated on her—Ryan Richard.
"So, everybody’s here? Even that dog Ryan."
At the ntion of "dog Ryan", Emily Allen lifted her hand and slapped Sophie Allen even harder.
The slap was off target, causing a ringing in Sophie Allen’s ears. She wasn’t sure if her eardrum had been damaged.
"You really are stubborn, Sophie Allen. Still defiant even when you’re on the verge of death," said Ryan Richard, grimacing in disgust, using harsh words.
"You’re the one who’s despicable. When we were together, you never wanted to give in to . But, once you climbed into Stardust Garden, you readily went there. What right do you have to scold ?"
"Huh....."
Sophie sneers.
She almost forgot, these three in front of her, were really good at setting traps and slandering soone. They would say that white is black, their words could tarnish her reputation so badly that she has no way of clearing her na. Not to ntion all three of them together?
"Sophie, Ryan, stop wasting ti on this lowly girl, we have important matters to deal with,"
Mia Stewart interrupted their cussing and took out a docunt from her bag.
She looked down on Sophie, and coldly instructed, "Sign this, and we will let you go."
Sophie looked up to see that this was a docunt labeled in bold, large letters: Fragrance Formula Transfer Agreent.
Not this contract again!
They really are greedy! Killing Aunt Watson, living guiltlessly, and now they are still after her fragrance formula.
Sophie’s eyes turned blood shot, she lifted her eyelids to look at Mia Stewart, struggled to hook up the corners of her mouth, and spat out: "Pah! In your dreams."
She spat directly onto Mia Stewart’s face, which made Mia hastily back off as if she was splashed with poison.
In an instant, the image of a high-society lady was gone. Mia lifted her hand and slapped Sophie twice, her voice turning sharp: "Sophie Allen, how dare you spit on !"
"Sophie, don’t hold back this ti!"
Upon hearing Mia Stewart’s words, Emily was imdiately excited, gripping Sophie’s hair she started to beat her.
As Sophie was spun around by the blows, she lost her breath several tis. She could taste sothing flowing out of her mouth—it must have been blood seeping from where she was injured.
Suddenly, a nauseating feeling welled in her stomach. Also, the sll of petrol in the factory intensified her discomfort, making her vomit violently.
She used this opportunity to vomit right onto Emily, who was taken aback.
"Ah...Sophie, are you trying to disgust on purpose!"
But Sophie had no strength left to vomit, let alone retort.
When she had no ans of resisting, Ryan Richard forcibly grabbed her hand and stamped it on the transfer agreent.
As they were leaving, they untied the rope binding Sophie, spewing so ridicule and insult at her.
Sophie really didn’t care about what they said, she only felt distressed for her fragrance formula, her heart and soul, just gone like that...
After taking so ti to recover, Sophie regained a bit of strength. However, she was unable to stand, only managing to crawl around, dragging herself out of the factory.
In this desolate outskirts where wild grasses were overgrown, her phone had been taken away. She was so desperate she felt like crying out to Heaven but there was no response, nor any resonance from the earth.
She felt hopeless, gave up struggling, and simply collapsed on the ground.
In the last second before she closed her eyes, a ray of light shone into her eyes.
A blurry shadow appeared in her line of sight.
She was so tired...
