Jennifer was like a blazing flame, stepping over the two men without glancing aside and coldly said, "From now on, I won't be controlled by any man."
The two thugs were in pain and puzzled, thinking: Which man can control a demoness like you anyway?
This scene was caught in the eyes of Colton.
A cold wind brought the woman's faint cold words, and his heart clenched once again as he saw a pair of eyes full of despair…
Invisibly, his attention seemed to always be captured by Jennifer, the woman who inexplicably broke into his life…
"President Redford, I have confirmed with the hospital team again, and all the experimental data have been verified, Miss Jennifer is indeed not pregnant…"
Nelson was shocked by Jennifer's strong combat power, thinking: Which pregnant woman can be so fierce?
Why is President Colton so sure that Jennifer is pregnant?
Colton was inexplicably irritated, "It's best if she's not pregnant!"
He turned and returned to the car, thinking of Jennifer's sharp questions tonight, he couldn't help but frown, "What's going on with the trending search?
Did you find out?"
Since he wanted to seek justice for Sonia, he wouldn't easily determine the truth based on a confusing recording before he came.
He originally planned to wait until Nelson finished investigating before deciding what action to take against Jennifer.
He didn't expect to accidentally meet her tonight, and his emotions were so uncontrollable…
"I've checked!
Stephen had a special meeting with Nathan, demanding a complete network ban on Miss Jennifer, and the copyright incidents, including plagiarism and plot blending, are all orchestrated by Stephen, who bought insiders from the cultural company…"
Nelson glanced at Colton and reminded him,
"This time Rolan's Entertainment is deeply involved in scandals, and Miss Martha is very angry.
She has dismissed Rolan's general manager position and threatened to dissolve the contract with Sonia."
Colton's face darkened, "You mean — Stephen made such a big move for Sonia?"
"I dare not say."
Nelson averted his gaze, "It's just that Miss Jennifer suffered grievances in the crew, and Rolan secretly manipulated it.
Outsiders will inevitably make malicious guesses.
President Redford, since you and Miss. Sonia decided to get engaged, deal with your divorce procedures as soon as possible before the news is officially released, otherwise, this fire will burn you and GN, and it will be hard to explain to the chairman..."
Jennifer!
Deep down he knew, with the development of events, Jennifer's counterattack was extraordinary.
If Sonia wasn't the target, he might even appreciate such tactics and wisdom.
"Return to the Redford Mansion."
Colton pinched the bridge of his nose, pushing Jennifer's infrared image from earlier out of his mind, and his thoughts gradually became clear: Stephen seemed to be a dandy, but in reality, he was a calculating person who wouldn't hesitate to seize any opportunity for gain.
If his relationship with Sonia was truly only a brief marriage for the sake of family interests, why would he go to such lengths?
Did all of this really have nothing to do with Sonia?
He understood Nelson's meaning— the timing of all these events was too coincidental! ...
At the Redford Mansion.
As Colton returned, he saw Sonia staring at the stove specially used for boiling traditional medicine in the pharmacy.
Seeing him, she hurriedly brought the medicine over, smiling sweetly,
"Why are you back so late today?
I was just about to call and remind you to come home and take your medicine!"
The bitter taste of the traditional medicine spread in the air, making Colton's throat tighten inexplicably.
He patted Sonia's hand and noticed her carefully hiding it.
He frowned slightly,
"Did you burn yourself again?"
"It's nothing, I'm just clumsy," Sonia chuckled and playfully blew on the medicine,
"Hurry up and drink it.
I've been boiling it for several hours, not a drop can be wasted."
Colton inexplicably couldn't bring himself to ask any further questions, so he drank the medicine.
The dry and bitter taste was nauseating, but he remained expressionless.
A scene of Jennifer forcibly drinking a bottle of alcohol flashed through his mind --
although it was just an infrared image, it left a lasting impression of the sound of alcohol sliding down her throat
- gulp!
gulp!
It was like a trickling stream that stubbornly and decisively flowed into the depths of his mind, leaving no room for refusal, just like the impression Jennifer left on people.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing his frown getting tighter, Sonia asked anxiously,
"Is it too bitter?
Or did I not boil it correctly…"
"No!"
Colton snapped out of his thoughts, put down the empty bowl, and looked blankly at Sonia.
Suddenly, he asked,
"Have you ever contacted Stephen?"
Sonia was taken aback, and her palm clenched,
"No!
Colton, are you still bothered by our previous engagement?
I have no emotional attachment to him.
It was all for family interests.
You can check if you don't believe me…"
"It's precisely because I want to believe everything you say unconditionally that I'm asking you directly—"
Colton played the recorded audio, his voice low and oppressive,
"Sonia, was the recording really unintentional on the part of your agent?"
Sonia's face suddenly turned embarrassed: was he doubting her for Jennifer's sake?
She bit her lip, disbelievingly choked with sobs, "I see, no wonder you looked so upset when you came back…
You think I staged everything, first having Stephen suppress my sister, then faking the recording to blame my agent…
Colton, when did I become such a scheming woman in your heart?"
"Sonia can you tell me—all of this is just a coincidence?!"
Colton's throat tightened, "I know exactly what kind of person Stephen is.
The beneficiary of everything he does is you."
"…So you've been doubting me all along, while I was foolishly overjoyed about our engagement."
Tears fell from Sonia's eyes as she mocked herself with a laugh, "I know I'm not as likable as my sister.
I used to be redundant in my parents' eyes, and now I seem to have become a third party between you two…
Colton, I'm tired." Colton reached out to her and sighed, "…You're not the third party."
"Sorry, I don't want to compete with my sister for anything.
Rolan's family has already sent me the contract termination agreement, and I've signed it.
I originally wanted to set your mind at ease, but now it seems unnecessary.
Do I need to argue with the facts you believe?"
Sonia disregarded his palm and shook her head before attempting to go upstairs, "Colton, I know that your feelings for me are only because I saved you in the past, but this isn't the kind of love I want…"
As she was about to turn and leave, Colton grabbed her arm, but then he heard Sonia cry out in pain.
She fell into his arms and went limp.
"Sonia!"
Colton quickly picked her up.
Since his body hadn't fully recovered, his legs were somewhat weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Just then, the butler passed by and saw this scene.
He hurried over to help, "Mr. Redford, Miss. Sonia has been working day and night for you without rest.
She must be exhausted."
Colton's large palm tightened as he put Sonia in the car, feeling a faint sense of regret.
Perhaps his attitude just now was too hurtful!
