Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control

Chapter 171 The No. 8 Cruise Ship

"Hugh! Don't test me! If you push me, Sophia and his brother will end up dead!"

Hugh sneered, "I'll go to the police and report you!"

"You!" Jonas raised his right hand again, but this time, Hugh blocked it before he was hit.

Hugh shook off Jonas' arm, making Jonas stagger a little. He held onto the table to keep himself from

falling down. "Bastard! Get out!"

Hugh left without turning back, only to find Hermosa standing outside the room in tears.

Hugh looked at her worriedly. "Mother..."

Jonas heard Hugh's call from inside the room and immediately felt his heart drop. Hermosa was

surprised at the sight of Hugh storming out the room, but then, her surprise turned into deep

disappointment at her husband.

The man she had been living with for over 30 years turned out a murderer! If Hermosa hadn't heard the

fight, she would've never known.

"No wonder Lucy doesn't go home anymore, and our son doesn't want to see you... Jonas... It turns out

you're a horrible person!"

Jonas felt slightly stunned as he stared his wife. "Hermosa, stay out of it. Go to the room and get some

rest!"

"Jonas, the death of Sophia's mother... Did you really cause it?" Hermosa held onto the last glimmer of

hope as she looked at her husband.

After hesitating for a while, Jonas said harshly, "Hermosa, go back and rest!"

Hermosa looked at him heartbrokenly.

"No." She took Jonas' hands anxiously. "Jonas, you should surrender yourself to the police and

apologize to Sophia..."

"How is that possible!" Jonas looked at Hermosa in shock. He pushed her off so hard, that Hermosa

crashed directly into the wall.

Thump!

"Mother..."

"Hermosa!"

Both father and son quickly helped Hermosa up. Hugh flung off Jonas' hand in anger. "Mother, are you

alright?"

Hermosa's head immediately started to swell. She shook her pale face. "I'm fine. Just help me to my

room."

Hugh supported his mother in his arms as they walked back to the room.

He called the family doctor. After the examination and medical prescription, Hugh left when he was

certain she was all right.

That night proved to be a sleepless night for many people in A Country...

When Sophia got up the next morning, she went to the cemetery. She bought a bouquet of carnations

and placed it beside Julia's tombstone.

"Mother, I've come to see you!"

On the photo of the tombstone, Julia had a warm smile that moved Sophia to tears. 'Mother, they said

you're not my biological mother. That a woman called Adelaide is my real mother. Is that true? But

you've been my mother for over 20 years. In my heart, you're my real mother. I don't want to go to the

Hang Family...'

After visiting Julia, Sophia found a small empty tombstone...

With the ashes of her child buried underneath...

'Little one, are you alright there? If you hadn't passed away, you'd definitely be calling mom now.

My child, I think about you every day since you passed away. I feel so bad for what happened. Please

forgive your mother...'

From the cemetery, Sophia went to the Lo House. She cleaned the house thoroughly, then went to the

supermarket to buy some necessities.

After a busy day, night soon fell.

Sophia sat on her bed after dinner, staring at the familiar phone number in a daze.

'Colin, I saw you yesterday, but you didn't seem to notice me...

But you must've seen me! Don't you want to see me anymore?'

What if the little boy was truly his baby with Dorothy? She had thought that when she returned, she

could get Colin back...

But it turned out that Dorothy and Colin already had kid.

She could destroy their relationship in spite of everything, on the condition that they weren't married

and had no children...

At the Pei Group.

Today was Sophia's first day at work. Hugh assigned her as an assistant and gave her a separate

office.

The arrangements raised a wave of gossip in the company.

Hugh took a document, placing it in front of Sophia. "This is a proposal for the partnership with the Ji

Clan. You should work on this first."

"Alright." In the following days, Sophia diligently focused on her work.

Her daily routine consisted of only work and home. Sometimes, she went out for dinner with Hugh.

Everything seemed calm.

It lasted until Sophia sent the drafts and the clothing samples to the Ji Clan's cooperative company. Her

work received praise from their president. Afterwards, the factory produced plenty of goods that

became the season's bestseller.

Sophia's name garnered a lot of attention in the A Country business circle.

She created a large profit for both the Pei clan and herself.

Soon, the Pei Clan started receiving special orders. Since she was in the A Country business circle, it

didn't take 2 months for Sophia and Colin to meet again.

Since it was completed 2 years ago, the place had become popular all over the world. The exterior was

uniquely shaped, while the interior was designed luxuriously.

It's said that the membership adopted a 3-tier hierarchy. The membership fee for premium members

was at least 100 million, 10 million for platinum members, and 5 million for gold members.

The lowest was the gold membership. Despite the high membership fee, the number of gold members

has grown to tens of thousands.

There are only few premium members, including Colin, Herring, Patrick, and two businessmen.

Including the number of overseas members, the number would reach up to a thousand.

The number of platinum members reached about 10 thousand.

Despite being open for only 2 years, the No. 8 Cruise was the most profitable one among its

competition.

When Sophia was about to leave the office, a driver sent by the No. 8 Cruise came to pick her up.

Since she was a woman, the driver of the red Ferrari was also a woman.

The driver invited Sophia to the Ferrari with great respect, surprising Sophia with the extraordinary

service that the No. 8 Cruise provided.

After Hugh's name was taken upon arrival, two tall waitresses brought Sophia into the dining area.

The resplendent and magnificent interior stunned people into a daze.

"Miss Lo, we've arrived at Room 88. Please come in!" The sweet voice of the waitresses pulled Sophia

back from her reverie.

Sophia smiled at her. "Thank you!"

"You're welcome. It's our duty!"

Stepping into the private room, Sophia found about a dozen people sitting at the table.

At her entrance, everyone's eyes fell on her. Hugh walked over from his seat. "Sophia, come in."
