Trapped with the CEO

Chapter 1306 Colin’s Grievance



Currently, Sophia\'s career was flourishing. Her top priority should be her self-improvement. Love affairs could wait.

At the Li House.

At ten o\'clock in the evening, Colin came back from work. As usual, he visited the sleeping Ambrose before quietly returning to his own room.

Colin closed the door behind him and took out a cigarette. Walking through the room, he stopped at the balcony, deep in thought.

Long after the cigarette burnt out, Colin took out his phone and called Wade. "Any news about the Lien\'s?"

"Yes, we\'ve discovered some of their grey incomes. The company\'s accounts had been manipulated, but the tampered portion was done in a hurry. We\'ve found a loophole." Wade answered.

"What about the Pei\'s?"

"There are suspicions of money laundering, but we\'re still looking for evidence."

Knowing Colin\'s intentions, Wade could only hold back a sigh.

Just as Colin was about to hang up, Wade quickly added, "Mr. Li, there\'s also some development in Z Country."

"What is it?"

"We\'ve found a woman who works in the red light district. She said she spotted Miss Lo earlier and confirmed that Miss Lo was looking for a woman. As she recalled, the time she saw Miss Lo was about 30 minutes before the incident with the drunkard. According to the witness, Miss Lo was seeking a woman named Cora, who had also disappeared. Our men are looking into her whereabouts."

"I see. Keep investigating." Colin ended the conversation.

A knock sounded on the door. Colin put away the cigarette butt, and went to open it. As expected, it was Wendy.

"Mother."

"Colin, Marcella called me today. She asked when the wedding ceremony would take place."

Colin frowned. "I see."

Wendy paused. "What will you do about it?"

"I\'ll talk to Dorothy."

Wendy shot him a questioning look. "About what?"

Colin glanced at her. "What do you want me to say?"

Wendy hesitated for a while. "I want you to call off your engagement." Wendy was a little anxious. Since Ambrose was proved to be Sophia and Colin\'s child, she didn\'t know what Colin was still angry about.

But Colin was exceedingly calm. "Do you really believe in Sophia, mother?"

"You don\'t? If you care so little for her

“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”

Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.

Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.

“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.

ke a better plan.

He called Wade again. When the line went through, he said, "Pay a visit to Sophia Lo on behalf of Dorothy and me."

Wade was speechless. "Yes, sir."

Wade didn\'t know how exactly Mr. Li wanted him to behave. Three years have already passed... Did they still love each other? Or was it one-sided?

Thinking Colin and Sophia still loved one another, Wade wished they would forgive each other and get back together soon.

At the Hospital.

Sophia drank the last gulp of medicine with tears in her eyes. With a sullen look on her face, she looked around for sweets. Amused by her reaction, Hugh handed her a candy. "I knew it. You always hated taking medicine."

For Sophia, taking medicine was a painful ordeal.

As she put the candy into her mouth, a knock sounded on the door of the ward. It was Wade.

Sophia\'s eyes brightened. "Mr. Ji."

Nodding to them, Wade put down a basket of fruits on the bedside table. "How are you, Miss Lo? I\'m here on behalf of Mr. Li... and the future Mrs. Li to pay you a visit."

Wade didn\'t want to say that, but Colin had explicitly told him to.

Sophia\'s happy mood faded away at Dorothy\'s title. She put on a professional smile. "They\'re too kind. Please send them my gratitude."

"Of course. How are you feeling today, Miss Lo?" Wade asked politely.

Sophia nodded. "I\'m feeling much better now. Thank you, Mr. Ji."

"I hope you recover soon. Mr. Pei, please contact me for any loss to your company. Mr. Li will compensate for any damages." Wade was referring to what had happened last night.
