Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control

Chapter 180 I Will Run Away With Sophia

"Yes!" Ambrose answered dauntlessly.

Colin found himself utterly speechless. He paused for a while and then tried to put his idea across the All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

table. "Okay. There are two options for you. First, you can make her your girlfriend. And that will be

easy for everybody. Then the second thing is I can make her... your mother."

... Pondering about what is happening and what will happen, they both stayed silent for a while.

Finally, Ambrose broke the silence and shouted as loud as he could, "Grandma! Your son is coming

after my girlfriend!"

Colin hissed at him, "Shut up! You're ruining everything!"

Ambrose knew everybody was already asleep. Yet, it didn't stop him to say it loud. He did that on

purpose.

Ambrose grabbed Colin's arm and turned serious. "Colin, I am telling you. Sophia Lo would be mine

sooner or later. You know I could do that and I'll make sure I will. So stay away from her!"

The son sternly warned his father. But the father had other plans in mind. Suddenly, Colin got hold of

Ambrose, laid him down on his legs and spanked his bottom three times...

Pak! Pak! Pak!

"Nooooo! Waaaa!" Ambrose seemed to burst into tears and spitefully blurted out, "Colin... you are my

enemy now! You stay away from me too! Huhuhu..." Ambrose felt very sad and blue. Never in his life

had he imagined that his beloved Daddy would want to grab from him the woman he loved.

Colin put Ambrose down on the bed and said, "So, do you really want to have a fight with me over a

woman? You know, it will end badly for you, Ambrose."

Ambrose pretended to be weeping as he tried to wipe the tears that hadn't even come down. He

nodded heavily and said, "Yes! I think you should give up, or I will fight you through the bitter end. You

are 34 years old already! You are an old man now! How can you compete for a girl with a young man

like me? Aren't you too old for chasing girls? Young men always triumph over old men in this sort of

thing.

... Why were they both falling in love with that woman? What did he see in Sophia that prompted

Ambrose to fight against his father rather than giving up?

Colin tucked Ambrose into the bed again and said, "Just go to sleep!"

"No. I don't want to! "If you don't give up, I will run away with Sophia! And you will never see me again!"

Ambrose tried to threaten his father. Ambrose was thinking about running away with Sophia. If only he

could be with Sophia, he would not fear anything at all. He was not afraid of what Colin would do to him

because he knew that he can survive any challenges.

Colin playfully pointed at Ambrose's nose, fixed his eyes on his and said, "Go to sleep now, or I won't

let you see Sophia again. You're in way over your head."

'Fine, but this is not over.' Ambrose bravely said to himself. Then he closed his eyes and tried to sleep.

For now, they will call a truce. But both of them knew that this truce was just temporary.

Colin was fretting endlessly over Sophia and Ambrose. When he got back to his room, he threw his

phone on the bed and untied his tie rather hastily.

"Now that you have decided to marry another woman, I would distance myself from you. You give me

no other choice..." Colin could still clearly remember what Sophia said to him. Why did these words

bother him so much? In reality, he should not care about this anymore.

They were already divorced. He could marry whoever he wanted to be with. It was none of her

business to poke about what he would do from that point on. 'Distance myself... so she had decided to

give up on me? She would just quit that easily?' Colin said to himself, sneering while thinking of

Sophia's lovely face.

Maybe he was just overthinking everything. The present issues in his life have caused him so much

anxieties. Maybe Sophia did not even like him.

...

In the CEO Office of the Pei Group

Jonas and Hugh were glaring at each other. Neither of them will back down. Jonas pounded on the

table angrily, and shouted, "Aren't you my own damn son? What are you thinking by bringing Sophia to

our company? You, of all people, know that she is an enemy! Do you actually believe that she would

appreciate you giving her the opportunity to work here? You're absolutely wrong! She is not that simple-

minded! How could we ever trust that woman again?! Now, she has suddenly become our chief

designer. It only took her two months to get that position. Don't you see what she is doing? Don't you

see why she wanted to work for us? She works hard just for the position. Just for the sake of being

promoted! She doesn't really want to help us!"

Hugh just sneered at Jonas but stayed quiet for a while. Even if Sophia was here for another purpose,

Hugh would not care about it. He believed that the Pei Family owed her a lot, and they just refused to

admit that fact. Finally Hugh replied in a cold manner, "So? No one in our company works harder than

her! She has earned her place in our company."

No one could deny Sophia's effort. She always was the last one to leave the office. She gave her

everything for the company. All of her designs were perfect because she would not allow any flaws to

ruin the group's image. She would even cancel her personal plans if she needed to work beyond the

office hours.

Jonas became very angry at what Hugh just said. He furiously pointed his index finger at him and

exclaimed, "Sooner or later, you will make a drastic mistake and the company will collapse because of

you. And before that happens, I will destroy Sophia first!"

Three years ago, Jonas exerted great efforts to destroy the relationship between Sophia and Colin. He

simply could not run the risk of Sophia getting a fresh start.

Hugh looked at Jonas without any expressions on his face. He was already getting tired of this. It was

just going back and forth, back and forth. "Jonas, if you dare do this, I will leave the company. Even the

family."

Sophia had studied abroad and worked for Eason as his apprentice for 3 years. On paper, it sounded

like a wonderful job, but actually it was not. Sophia would always spend time alone in the studio to do

some reading and researching. She sometimes lost herself in the work and often forgot to eat and

sleep. For what? She wanted to be the best in what she did.

Back then, she had no experience. In order to find the inspiration in designing, she spent lots of time

doing marketing research, even on the hot days of summer. Every night, she stayed up late to analyze

how people won awards from previous competitions. It inspired her to carve her own path to success.

That was all he knew. She studied harder than what people thought of her.

She worked with all her strength to get here. So, he would not allow anyone to destroy her, even his

own father.

Jonas was infuriated and could hardly breathe. Why does he have such an ungrateful child? Then

Jonas hushed his voice and continued, "Do you think that Sophia would appreciate what you've done

for her? All she is thinking about is Colin. Don't you know that yet? Why do you still keep on helping

her? No man other than Colin would have a place in her heart!"

There was an obvious sadness in Hugh's eyes. "I don't care. I just want her to be happy and to get

what she really deserves. That's all."

Dong!! Jonas hurled the ashtray against the wall and roared, "Get out!"

Hugh walked out of the office with sullen eyes.

The secretaries outside the office were frightened as they lowered their heads and stayed silent. They

didn't dare look up and just kept doing their own business. They had seen Hugh and Jonas fight

against each other several times already, but Jonas never lost his temper except today. Something

must have gone terribly bad.

After a while, Sophia was made aware that something was wrong. She could sense that her colleagues

had been hostile to her and she was set up by someone...

Today.

Jonas called all the designers together in one place and said, "Our company won't tolerate thieves.

Even if that thief is good at her job, she can't stay! Be warned!"

There was dead silence in the meeting room. Then someone figured out who Jonas was talking about

and everyone started to murmur. They kept looking and sneering at Sophia. Sophia was not angry at

what Jonas said. At least that was how she portrayed herself in front of everybody. She smiled at him

instead, and said, "Jonas, you must have some evidence showing that I'm stealing others' design,

right? Show it then."

"Of course!" Jonas retorted quickly. He had thought about it thoroughly.

Now the whole thing had been reported by the media, and everyone has been paying so much

attention on this issue. Three years after Sophia's divorce, she was once again under the limelight.

She was Eason's disciple. It would reflect badly on Eason's reputation.

In just a short span of time, her stature was diminished completely. Many people left their bitter remarks

in her Weibo. Someone even said that he was glad Colin had given up on her and that she was a

plagiarist.

"Okay then! Bring out your evidences. Let us see them." said Sophia. Sophia looked straight into

Jonas' eyes, just like Jonas would fix his eyes on her.

Jonas withdrew his gaze and ordered the secretary to put the plagiarized designs on the screen.

There were 12 fashion designs presented on the screen. These were the alleged designs that Sophia

was accused of stealing.

"Yuki, could you tell me when you finished these designs?" Sophia demanded to know. She looked at

the woman standing in the corner, who seemed livid.

Yuki stood up straight and responded quickly, "I finished them in two days."

Sophia glanced at her boss' fierce gaze, and realized that Yuki was just following his order.

However, her computer was hacked by someone half an hour ago, and she lost all her files. So she

could not use them to prove herself. She was at a dilemma. Luckily, she still knew how she could show

them the truth.

"Jonas, please wait for a moment. I need to make a phone call." Then Sophia called someone despite

hearing Jonas's loud protest from behind her.
