Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control

The fifth picture was taken from the side. On Colin's back, Leila looked quite happy.

All the female workers around Sophia were squealing in excitement. But her mind had gone blank and she couldn't pay attention to what they were saying.

She couldn't tear her eyes away from the pictures of Colin carrying Leila on his back.

If she had any doubts about the identity of Colin's true love, she was certain of it now.

It couldn't be anyone but Leila.

Drawing the conclusion that the woman Colin loved was the famous star Leila, Sophia's eyes became wet. As she lowered her head and filled her mouth with noodles, tears dropped into the bowl.

Why was she crying? Colin had meant to take her with him. She was the one who refused Colin's invitation.

But she still felt sad because Colin hadn't mentioned that Leila would be there as well.

She thought that Colin was going with his male friends. Had she known that the big star who coveted her husband would also be there, She would have gone with Colin even if it would cost her a month's salary.

Sophia wiped her tears with a tissue and tried to calm down.

By the afternoon, every employee in the SL Group in Z Country was talking about Colin and Leila's marriage.

They called them the golden couple because of their charming appearance and privileged backgrounds.

At the private consultant's office, Sophia was staring blankly at the picture. What should she do? Should she leave their marriage and step aside for Colin and Leila?

Her phone rang as mulled over it. It was an unknown number.

Only a few people had her phone number. Sophia wondered who was calling her.

She answered the phone, "Hello?"

"Sophia, it's me." It was Hugh.

Sophia smiled. "Hugh, how did you get my phone number?"

Last time they met, Colin was there. They didn't get a chance to exchange numbers.

"My assistant helped me. Sophia, did you see the report?" Hugh was scrolling through the news on his tablet.

Sophia thought for a moment and she answered truthfully, "Yes."

"Sophia, I'm with them. It wasn't like that. Leila sprained her ankle, and we were halfway up the mountain, so Colin carried her the rest of the way." Sophia didn't feel any better after hearing Hugh's explanation because Colin wasn't the one who called to explain.

"I know. It's alright. You guys have fun!"

Hugh knew she was just pretending to be fine. Hugh would be happy if Sophia really didn't care, because it would mean that she didn't love Colin.

But her tone revealed her feelings for Colin. She had really fallen in love with him.

Hugh consoled her. "We will. Sophia, don't cry. We'll be back in two days."

Hugh told her not to cry because he heard steps behind him.

He made it seem like Sophia was crying. But he knew she must have cried.

Sophia was surprised. How did Hugh know that she had cried? "I see. Have a good time! Goodbye, Hugh."

"Bye, Sophia."

Hanging up the phone, Hugh looked back and saw Colin standing behind him. He was right.

"Whether you love Sophia or not, you married her. You should know that a report like this would hurt her!" Hugh berated Colin coldly and left him alone in the room.

Colin looked out at the scenery deep in thought. After a while, he took out his phone and called Sophia.

Seeing Colin's name on the screen, Sophia didn't answer the phone and put it on silent mode. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Wasn't he having fun with his beloved Leila? Why was he calling her now? To show off?

Wade got a phone call. He got up and knocked on Sophia's office door. Seeing Wade come in, Sophia stood up. "Mr. Ji."

"Miss Lo, you're wanted on the phone." Having said that, Wade handed his phone to Sophia.

Sophia was confused until she saw 'Mr. Li' on the caller ID.

She held the phone up to her ear. "Hello, Mr. Li."

A cold voice came from the other end. "Why didn't you answer the phone?"

"Why should I?"

She asked back. Colin was pissed off.

"I'm your husband!"

Wade left the office and closed the door. Sophia sneered, "Oh, but my husband is having fun with another woman. Should I follow his lead and find myself a handsome young man?" "Sophia Lo, don't you dare!"

"Why not? Mr. Li, if you like, I can even send you a live video!"

There was a long silence. Sophia was about to end the call when she heard a soft female voice. "Colin, I've been looking for you. Let's go to the hot spring!"

Hot spring... Sophia began to imagine all sorts of things.

She smiled bitterly. "Goodbye, Mr. Li. I'd better not keep you from enjoying the hot springs with your beloved."

Ending the call, Sophia clutched her chest tight. Her heart ached. Colin always broke her heart.

The phone rang when she returned it to Wade. It was Colin again. Wade glanced at her, but she just waved her hand dismissively and returned to her office. The other secretaries looked curiously at Wade and Sophia, wondering what they were doing.

Wade could only answer the phone. "Mr. Li."

"Stall her. Give her work that will last her until 1a.m."

Wade asked cautiously, "Are you sure, Mr. Li?"

"Yes!" Colin walked into his room as he disconnected the call.

Leila followed him into the room. She said carefully, "Colin..."

Colin suppressed his irritation and smiled at her. "Leila, I have something to deal with in Z Country. I have to go back first. Have a good time with everyone." The people who accompanied them on the trip included Herring, Hugh, and sons of other rich families. Leila was familiar with every one of them.

"Can't you wait until the day after tomorrow?" Knowing Colin was leaving, Leila became upset and felt like crying.

Colin packed his things rapidly. Then he walked to Leila and stroked her hair. "No, it's urgent. I have to go back now. Go stay with Herring and Hugh."

"

Leila knew him well enough to know that he wouldn't change his mind once he had decided on something. "All right. Colin, can I go to Z Country to see you?"

Go to Z Country? Would Sophia be upset? Probably not, Leila just wanted to visit and have fun. "Sure. Call me when you're coming."

He wavered for a while before responding, which hurt Leila a lot.

She nodded. "Be careful on your way home."

"I will. Goodbye, Leila."

Colin called Herring on the way back. Having read the news, Herring understood Colin's sudden departure.
