Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace - Chapter 114
Chapter 114: CHAPTER 114 Chapter 114: CHAPTER 114 “I bet you’ve found out something, haven’t you?” I smiled.
I also needed this connection just as much as Juliet did.
Instead of staying passive and being attacked, I needed to take the initiative.
Despite Damien’s serious injury, it was my responsibility to assist Dexter in maintaining his position within Black Group.
Otherwise, we would become too passive.
Despite feeling as though someone was protecting me from behind, I was always on edge in the Black family, constantly fearing Martin and Dax’s.
potential attacks.
Juliet seemed reluctant, so I opened the door and prepared to leave.
“If you’re not comfortable sharing, forget it.” Juliet firmly grasped my wrist.
“The president of Crowdstar Group will attend the Chamber of Commerce’s charity dinner in Huma on the 1st of next month.
It’ll focus on raising funds for welfare homes.
Sofia, that’s all I know.” “He’s highly respected and holds an untouchable position in the business world.
No one dares to challenge him.
We each have our own skills to accomplish our goals.
Please don’t hinder me.” Juliet’s voice trembled with fear as she worried that I might stop her from attending.
I pushed Juliet’s arm away.
“Whether you’ll make it to the first of next month is still uncertain.
Are you that confident in your appearance?
Do you think everyone else is just as stupid as Damien?
He’s the president of Crowdstar Group.” “A man in such a high position not only has a high status, but he might also be older.
I heard he’s an old man in his 60s or 70s.
You sure are open€“minded and can appreciate men of all ages.” Apart from the honey trap, she seemed to have no other strategy.
Back then, her appointment as Damien’s secretary at the Coleman Group was certainly not based on her qualifications.
Could the president of Crowdstar Group, a legendary figure, be captivated by Juliet?
He wouldn’t be as easily deceived as Damien, right?
Juliet nervously grabbed my wrist and refused to let me go.
“Sofia!
Help me.
If I can get in touch with the president of Crowdstar Group, I believe I can assist you as well.
But you have to protect me first.” I inquired in a solemn tone, “Damien is still alive.
Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m".
Will he be sad if he realizes that you’re already looking for a new partner when he’s not even dead yet?” Juliet firmly stated, “Don’t defame me.
I’m doing this for Damien… Contacting the president of Crowdstar Group will also benefit Damien.” I didn’t feel like listening to her nonsense anymore.
“I told you to kneel down if you want me to protect you.” I walked out of the door.
Juliet wanted to kneel down before me in a secluded place, which could be seen as enduring humiliation.
“Don’t kneel here.
When you requested Sophia to kneel down before you, many people were in the ward.” With a sneer, I approached Dexter and took a seat.
“If you’re going to kneel, do it in this spot.” Juliet glared at me with intensity, clearly seething.
She knew I was humiliating her.
Dexter was sitting obediently on the chair.
He felt relieved when he saw me returning and reached out to hold my hand.
“Sophia, she’s not worthy of kneeling before you.” I smiled at Dexter.
“She won’t kneel down.
Let’s go home.” As Dexter and I were about to leave, Juliet suddenly called my name.
Her eyes turned red, and she knelt on the ground in humiliation.
“Sofia!
I’m begging you.
Damien is seriously injured, and you’re the only one who can help us.” She shamelessly attempted to emotionally manipulate me.
Many people were observing and pointing at us in the hospital.
“Juliet, did you ever anticipate that this day would come when you slandered Sophia and compelled her to kneel before everyone?
I looked down at Juliet who was kneeling in front of everyone, and I couldn’t help but sense a hint of irony.
Juliet clenched her hands tightly, showing her unwillingness to give in.
She was extremely intimidating.
She was flexible and resilient.
She endured any humiliation I subjected her to because she was confident that she would rise to a powerful position in the future and repay me with even more humiliation.
Her determination fueled a powerful ambition to surpass Damien and establish a direct connection with the president of Crowdstar Group.
She believed the president of Crowdstar Group was the only person capable of defeating the Black family.
After all, I was now Dexter’s wife.
Despite not yet having real influence, I held the title of the president of Black Group’s wife.
But what did she own?
Damien adamantly refused to marry her.
If she did not work hard to reach.
the president of Crowdstar Group, how would she defend herself?
How would she overshadow me?
How would she compete with me?
“Sofia, I’ve already knelt before you in front of everyone.
What else do you want?” Juliet said pitifully, struggling to keep herself composed and The crowd also couldn’t help but start talking about it.
Juliet seized the moment to cry a speak.
‘Sofia, you asked me to kneel before you.
Here I am, already on my knees.
Please help me.
Only you can save me…” Juliet feared Dexter and thought he was a killer.
However, she understood she could rely on the Black family’s influence for her safety.
“Dexter, I know you hate those people from the orphanage, but at the end of the day, we all grew up together.
We were all young and bound to make mistakes.
Let’s move i it, okay?” Juliet’s gaze shifted to Dexter.
Dexter frowned and hugged me with one hand.
“Don’t try to guilt€“trip me.
It won’t work.” Juliet was angry and asked, “Dexter, do you have to argue over every little thing with us?” “That’s right.
What’s going on?
Why do you have to force her to kneel?” “You’re being overly aggressive.
What harm could she possibly do?” Meanwhile, a group of “warm-hearted” ladies started to preach beside us.
I stared at the lady who spoke earlier.
“She, along with a group of criminals, trapped my husband in a small room with barred windows and started a fire.
Ultimately, it caused the deaths of over 20 people and serious injuries to more than ten others.” After I finished speaking, everyone was monster.
shocked.
They all looked at Juliet as if she were a Juliet’s eyes widened in shock as she desperately tried to explain herself, “Sofia, I had nothing to do with the fire at the orphanage that year-” I approached Juliet with a condescending gaze and interrupted her, “You know deep down whether you participated in it or not.
That murderer wouldn’t kill innocent people, and it appears that you’re not innocent.” “Juliet, at that time, those who were burned alive by the fire and those who were struggling in the flames saw you through the barred window.
The murderer saw you clearly.” Juliet’s fear overwhelmed her, causing her to crumble to the ground and instinctively recoil in sheer terror.
“What you’re saying is utter nonsense… It’s complete nonsense…” I scoffed at Juliet.
There was no doubt that she was involved.
“Sofia!
Dexter is a lunatic.
He has been a lunatic since he was a child!
Sophia is the one he has feelings for!
Sophia was his girlfriend, and she was also a lunatic!” Juliet appeared to be suddenly frightened.
She had a terrified look in her eyes, as if she was seeing Dexter through me.
“Sophia was the one he truly loved.
She has passed away, so you’re just a replacement, a puppet, and an item.
“Do you believe he truly loves you?
When he’s done with you, he’ll kill you mercilessly and trap your in a glass cabinet!
You’re going to die!
You’re going to die!” she screamed at me.
I turned to Dexter, astonishment flashing in my eyes.
I couldn’t seem to recall, but it appeared I had a past relationship with Dexter.
Did I forget him because of amnesia?
Dexter just gazed at me aggrievedly, his eyes tinged with red.
Then, he smiled at me.
“Sophia, it’s not your fault.” He never blamed me for forgetting about him.
He always reassured me of that.
Despite his understanding, my anxiety only continued to grow.
Dexter didn’t argue against Juliet’s statement, indirectly confirming that what she said was true.
I forgot about Dexter, my lover.
After losing my memory, I fell in love with Damien during the years.
when Dexter was trapped in hell.
When Dexter finally escaped and came to find me, he discovered that I had forgotten about him and fallen in love with someone else.
Why was I having a heartache?
Could this possibly be true?
If so, then I owed Dexter too much.
