Second Chance At Love

Chapter 45

As the evening set in, at the Clark Group’s CEO’s office, the assistant Collin entered the room, silently in front of the floor–to–ceiling windows.

his attention immediately drawn to the man standing

“Mr. Clark, I’ve looked into it Jason indeed arranged to meet with George tonight, and he also had his wife accompany them for drinks,” said Collin.

Oliver’s back stiffened when he heard the news, his brows furrowing. Could Jason truly be so heartless as to send his wife into the company of another man? he pondered. Was my judgment about him wrong?”

Before he could voice his thoughts, the office door swung open once more, and Luna stormed in. “Collin, what did you just say? Who did Jason have Sophia accompany? George!”

Collin, with his head slightly bowed, stayed silent.

Frantic. Luna approached Oliver, asking with sobs in her voice, “Mr. Clark, is that jerk really planning to let Sophia accompany George from the Watson Group“”

Oliver had known about this a few days earlier, which was why he had staged the scene at his villa in the western suburbs, leading Jason to believe that Sophia was unfaithful. If Jason was truly indifferent to Sophia, he would certainly do George’s bidding and send her away. But if there were affection, he wouldn’t comply. Now, Jason’s actions confirmed Sophia was not his weakness, and he could abandon her at any time.

“Yes, Jason invited George to dine at Lust, and he’s sending his wife along” Oliver said.

“What a jerk,” Luna cursed sharply. Then she pleaded through her tears, “Mr. Clark, please save Sophia. George will kill her.

Oliver detected something unusual in her words, his gaze narrowing as he asked, “Does George have a grudge against Sophia!”

Taking a deep breath, Luna choked back tears and said, “Five years ago, while Sophia was abroad recovering from an injury, George took an interest in her. Using his status as a wealthy heir, he tried to force her into submission. Sophia seemed to be at a disadvantage, but somehow, she managed to get George imprisoned for a few months. After Sophia’s recovery and return home, I thought that was all behind us, but George followed Sophia. back and even persuaded Jason to deliver her to him.”

Oliver’s eyes flashed coldly toward Collin. “I told you to check George’s background, How did you miss this?”

Collin shrank back, his voice trembling as he tried to explain. This is part of his criminal record, and his family surely tried to erase it. I failed to…

Before Collin could finish Oliver was already striding out the door.

Seeing this, Luna hurried after him, vowing, “Mr. Clark, if you save Sophia, I’ll find a way to persuade her to work with you against Jason” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

At Lust, Jason entered the private room

Sophia by his side. George had already arrived.

George, with his mixed heritage, had well–defined and captivating features that enthralled many. However, the smirk on his lips cast a shadow over his demeanor, making him appear somewhat sinister.

Sophia shivered as she met his smile. Years had passed, but the dread returned. The malice in his blue eyes was unmistakable.

Before all of this, she’d never have imagined that one day, her own husband would serve her up to an old enemy. Years ago, she had been gravely injured while saving Jason. During her the sent abroad, she encountered George and landed him in prison. And now, for the sake of so–called cooperation, Jason had pushed her cut ing her exposed under George’s vile scrutiny.

It seemed everything was somehow predestined. She had given her all for Jason, and in return, he had cast her into a boundless hell. This was her curse—an inescapable fate.

Jason Felt George’s intense gaze toward Sophia, and his eyes darkened. ‘Apparently, they do know each other from before. As for how well they knew each other, who can say! After all, a hymen can be restored, and bleeding on a wedding night doesn’t prove virginity, he thought

“Sophia, we meet again. George’s mocking tone pulled Jason out of his conflicted thoughts. He glanced sideways at Sophia, his eyes flashing with finality

“Since you seem to know each other, you’ll be entertaining George on my behalf tonight,” He heavily emphasized “tonight” and “entertaining.” implying more than just casual companionship. He even pushed Sophia slightly toward George, the message clear without words.
