"I'm not divorced yet." Sophie whispered, "Wait for me to get divorced, and I'll give you an answer."

Colby reached out, caressing Sophie's cheek, his palm burning hot, his voice deep. "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Sophie opened the door to leave, just in time to see Jenna and Adler eavesdropping at the doorway.

Her face flushed, showing a flustered expression for the first time, before she picked up her bag and fled in haste.

"Let me...let me walk you out!" Jenna immediately followed Sophie.

Adler slipped inside the room, approached Colby, who was dressing, and said, "You're quite the dark horse, aren't you? Who told you to confess now? See! You scared her off!"

Colby buttoned up his shirt, ignoring Adler, and walked out of the bedroom.

"Hey, young man! I'm talking to you! Aren't you a bit too hasty?"

Colby said indifferently, "If I don't say it now, I'm afraid she'll run away."

"Run? Where could Sophie possibly run to?"

"I don't know." Colby's voice was dull. He only knew that Sophie's heart was difficult to open. She had rejected everyone. Even when James gave up everything for Sophie, she never wavered for a moment. Colby was afraid that if he confessed too late, Sophie's heart would be completely sealed off and no longer be able to accommodate him.

Meanwhile, Sophie had just left the Costello family's house, and Jenna was taking Sophie back to S Corporation when a black car blocked their way in an alley. Several black-clad bodyguards got out of the car and surrounded Jenna's vehicle.

Jenna got out of the car, frowning, "Who are you? What do you want?"

Sophie also got out of the car, saying, "There are cameras everywhere here. If you're trying to kidnap us, this is hardly professional. Just tell us, who wants to see us?"

"Our lady wants to meet you!"

"Who?"

Jenna frowned. Though they knew many socialites, their relationships were merely superficial. None would be so bold to block their car.

They were outnumbered and had no choice. Soon, Jenna and Sophie were brought to a high-end restaurant, and after waiting for an hour, no one showed up.

Jenna stood up, dissatisfied. "Is your lady coming or not? Do you really think we have nothing better to do than to play these games with you?"

"Ms. Jenna, no need to get so worked up. Here I am," a familiar voice echoed.

Nichole's figure soon appeared before them.

She was dressed in an expensive gown, radiating luxury, entering the room like a lady of leisure.

Jenna scoffed, "I was wondering who it could be. So, it's you. What now? You want to flaunt your connection to James in front of us again?" Nichole appeared nonchalant, her face filled with disdain.

Sophie stood up, telling Jenna, "It seems there's nothing worth discussing. Let's go."

Sophie had barely taken a step when two bodyguards suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her arms.
