...

In the west garden of the Jorgansen’s villa, there was a wall full of roses.

In this season, all the roses had withered and looked so gloomy and decadent.

The surroundings were so desolate and tightly wrapped in flower branches, blocking the view of the outside.

Because it was in the corner of the Jorgansen’s villa, very few people would pass by here.

Sophia put on her torn and wrinkled clothes, covering the marks on her body.

She walked out from the rose room in the corner.

This place was dilapidated, but this rose room was very clean. It was not as cold as outside. It could make anyone who came in feel warm.

Andy stroked the hair on Sophie’s neck and smiled.

"It’s just that the Nash family collapsed. What’s there to be angry about?"

Sophie turned around and glared at him. Her expression did not ease for the man’s smile.

"You never wanted to help me at all."

Sophie glared at Andy.

But it was so powerless.

She knew very well that even if the entire Jorgansen family helped, they might not be able to make the Nash family recover.

She clearly knew that the Nash family could not be saved, but she just could not accept such a harsh fact.

She always thought that she was God’s favored one and was destined to be prominent. How could she just end up in such a poor state?

She failed to marry the person she loved, and her current husband was actually good for nothing.

All she could rely on was her own family, and now, it was gone.

Did she have to rely on this unpredictable man in the future?

Sophie was unwilling. No, she knew clearly that she could only rely on herself.

"I’m just helping you by doing nothing."

Andy smiled and said in a light voice, "Although your Nash Group was ruined, you still have me. If you even want me to leave with the Nash Group, who else can you rely on in the future?"

Her smooth hair lingered on his fingertips, emitting a fragrance unique to Sophie. It was indeed charming.

Sophie furrowed her brows and did not reject the man’s intimate behavior. Although she was unwilling, she still endured it. "Will you betray me in the future?"

Women often would ask some questions that even they themselves didn’t believe when they were feeling insecure.

However, at this time, they usually were very willing to believe such words.

Sophie knew clearly that the man in front of her could only bring her trouble and would not treat her wholeheartedly.

However, there was only him in front of her, so she could only trust him this time.

Andy smiled gently and said ambiguously, "Of course ... I won’t."

Sophie’s expression got soothed a little.

She pursed her lips and held the man’s hand, "All these years, we have taken a lot of things from the projects of the Nash and Jorgansen Groups. Brittany will not let you inherit the Jorgansen family."

"Now that we have these things, we have some capital. I don’t want to stay here anymore. Take me away."

She could no longer stay in the Jorgansen’s villa.

All these years, she had thought of leaving, but there were just some things that she could not abandon.

Now, there was no longer anything that belonged to her.

During the years she lived with Marcos after the marriage, she had long been fed up with him.

Marcos was subject to changing moods, and she had long been unable to stand it.

As long as she could leave, she would have her own life in the future. She wouldn’t care whether she belonged to the Nash family or the Jorgansen family.

Some women were often so confident that they felt that they were out of the ordinary so much in the eyes of men.

They were sure that they would become men’s one and only faith, but men never kept their promises.

"Fool, everything in the Jorgansen family belongs to us. If someone has to get out, it must be those assholes. How could I bear to let you suffer with me?"

Andy glanced at the woman’s face with an ambiguous look, which was full of flirtation.

It seemed that there was a sumptuous feast in front of him to enjoy.

Sophie’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and she slapped his hand away.

"You are messing with me."

She could see that Andy was smiling, which was full of disdain and sarcasm.

She guessed that in his eyes, she was just a plaything.

She knew that in the past, she had the Nash family behind her. He thus needed her and feared her.

Now ... she was just a toy for fun to him.

Because she had no value anymore, she was not worth his paying price.

"Hey? Are you angry again?"

Andy said with a smile. However, the woman in front of him did not have the patience to stay here with him. She picked up her clothes and put them on. She left without looking back.

Andy looked at the ruthless woman going far away. His eyes were narrowed slightly, and a strange look flashed across them.

He would get everything from the Jorgansen family, and no one could stop him.

In such a small courtyard in Modern style, it was clean and comfortable everywhere.

Even the chairs and desks were designed in special patterns.

Sophie went straight upstairs without looking at any piece of furniture and items in the room. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

All these years, she found that the more beautiful this place was, the more it was like a cage.

She felt as if a gorgeous gold chain wrapped around her neck, making it impossible for her to break free, nor could she escape.

How could she not hate it?

The door to the room was opened.

The bedroom was silent, and there was a person on the bed.

As soon as Sophie stepped in, the lights in the room were turned on.

As if light could expose all the tricks in the darkness, Sophie was bathed in the light and was completely illuminated.

Her gaze fell on Marcos, who was lying on the bed. She pursed her lips and asked, "Why are you still awake?"

Marcos sat up from the bed. His handsome face still remained expressionless even when he saw the kiss mark on her neck.

It was already a kind of provocation when a married woman appeared in front of her husband in the middle of the night with the kiss mark from another man.

However, Marcos was not provoked at all. It seemed that he had been used to it. He just took the glasses and put them on.

He then said lightly, "Why are you back so late? You lost at cards again, didn’t you?"

Every time Sophie went out, her excuse was to play cards with other women. This excuse was very clumsy and could be seen through immediately.

However, Marcos remained silent, as if he had not discovered anything.

An awkward expression flashed across Sophie’s face. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I’ve just been so unlucky recently."

"When you aimed at Julian, you should know that you wouldn’t have good luck." Marco’s voice was neither warm nor cold as he simply mentioned the topic. Although there were no emotions in his tone, it still annoyed Sophie.

Neither the man she loved nor the man she married cared about her or treated her sincerely.

What they saw was only her value and her identity as the daughter of the Nash family.

Now that the Nash family was gone, these two men could make fun of her at will. What a joke! Did she look like a woman who could be casually played by men?

"I did this for you. If Margaret gave birth to the child of Julian, he would be the legitimate heir of the Jorgansen family. In the future, if you want to inherit the Jorgansen family and to take back what belongs to you, it will be so hard! I am helping you."

Sophie said it very seriously as if all of this was really for the man in front of her.

But what she said just made Marcos laugh.

...

For him?

She knew clearly whether she did this for him or herself, didn’t she?

"Marcos, do you not believe me? I have been your woman for so many years. Everything I do is just for you!"

"All these years, I asked the Nash family to help you with all their strength so that you could completely inherit the Jorgansen Group. Even if the result was..."

Before Sophie could finish speaking, she already saw the coldness in Marcos’s eyes.

Immediately, she held back what she wanted to say.

No matter how serious and sincere she was, this man would never believe her.

She couldn’t help but bite her lower lip. Her tearful eyes revealed a trace of grievance.

Marcos looked away from her and said coldly, "Do you want to help Andy or me?"

Sophie was stunned. It turned out that Marcos already knew the truth. Just as she was about to speak, Marcos’s cold voice came.

"You are no longer of any value."

With the Nash family gone, Sophie was no longer the noble woman of the Nash family.

So ... he would no longer tolerate her.

Sophie panicked.

"I’m your legal wife. How can you throw me away casually?"

If she was chased out of the Jorgansen family, how should she live in the future?

Those people that she had offended would easily find her. It would be difficult for her to even survive.

Marcos glanced at her face; his smile full of coldness.

He clasped the woman’s chin, and his smile became so strange.

"Who do you think you are?"

Sophie fell to the ground.

The man in front of her had made her feel unfamiliar and fearful from the beginning.

Now...

She had expected that this man had never thought of protecting her after Margaret had an accident.

Sophie pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, in you guys’ eyes, I am indeed no longer important, but..."

As the woman spoke, she lay by the man’s thigh and smiled.

"I have something that is so useful to you."

As she spoke, she leaned her head against the man’s thigh through the blanket.

As if she couldn’t see the disgust in the man’s eyes, she said, "I am pregnant. Marcos, you are going to be a father. Aren’t you happy?"

Sophie spoke these words so lightly.

It instantly shocked the man.

He was originally calm. After hearing that, he immediately clenched his fists tightly and glared at Sophie fiercely.

"Although this child is not yours, it doesn’t matter. With this child, you can have a chance to take back the inheritance rights of the Jorgansen family.

"I will make the old lady hate Julian. When the time comes, you can take the opportunity to take back the shares in your hand.

"As long as Brittany is willing to help you when the child is born, the entire Jorgansen family will be yours. So can you forgive me now?"

As if she was talking to herself, Sophie did not notice the anger in the man’s eyes.

Actually, she didn’t need to care what Marcos was thinking. As long as Marcos wanted to take back the shares of the Jorgansen Group, he must keep the child in her belly.

As for the troublesome Julian, she could deal with him with that thing given by Sally.

How could the old lady allow a member of her Jorgansen family to give everything to an outsider? This was what she hated most.

She thought that without the support of Brittany, the child in Margaret’s belly surely had no value.

Sophie swore that since these guys had ruined her Nash family, she would also destroy all of them.

A strange smile appeared on her face.

Men could be strong, but women ... must master a strong man.

There was no need for her to be strong. There would always be men who were willing to do everything for her.

"You are pregnant."

The man spoke in a calm voice.

Sophie smiled and nodded, "It’s almost two months. Marcos, do you like it? In the

future, this child and us can live together as a happy family. This child belongs to the Jorgansen family. I am sure that Brittany will definitely not say anything."

It was a secret that Marcos was sterile in the Jorgansen family.

Sophie knew that her matters would be known to Brittany sooner or later.

The identity of the child in her belly could not be hidden as well.

But it didn’t matter as long as the child was indeed from the Jorgansen family.

What the Jorgansen family wanted was an obedient heir, and Marcos also needed it. Wasn’t the child in her belly exactly suitable?

She knew that the Jorgansens were not stupid. If the honorable Margaret from the Anderson family gave birth to the child of the Jorgansen family, such a child would surely outshine any other Jorgansens.

They would surely feel that Sophie’s child was much easier to control.

Marcos gently stroked the woman’s chin. He then turned his palm slightly, grabbed her chin, and raised her chin up forcefully.

The sudden strength caused Sophie to frown in pain.

She did not panic, nor was she afraid.

Was Marcos angry?

She knew that this man would definitely be angry and even wanted to kill her.

But she also knew that Marcos would not do that.

The child in her belly was indeed useful to him.

Sophie then forced a smile and said, "Marcos, you’re the father of this child. No one can replace you."

She was showing her loyalty to him. Of course, it was also a declaration.

Marcos suddenly laughed; his smile full of coldness.

He then strengthened the force of his hand, and Sophie was flung out by him.

Sophie lay on the bed and accurately protected her belly. She then heard the man’s cold voice.

"How ridiculous! You are actually using a bastard to disgust me."

Sophie raised her head to look at the man in front of her and opened her mouth...

She wanted to refute the identity of the child, but when she saw the cold look from Marcos, she quickly quieted down.

She ... suddenly was no longer so certain.

She was unsure whether this man really needed this child.

She had thought that she could control this man.

Unexpectedly, he was not that easy to deal with.

"A family ... Do you think I’m a fool? If I inherit the Jorgansen family, this child will be the next heir. You and Andy want to control the Jorgansen family through this child, don’t you? No way!"

Marcos’s voice wasn’t loud, but it made Sophie feel extremely cold.

It seemed that Sophie had been exposed and was being interrogated.

His gaze meant that he had sensed all her premeditated plans. It was extremely terrifying!

"Marcos, I..."

Sophie was about to speak when the man’s eyes turned cold.

Obviously, he did not want to hear a single word.

Sophie bit her lips and suppressed all the dissatisfaction.

She had not divorced and was still the daughter-in -law of the Jorgansen family. Even though Marcos didn’t want to recognize this child, it was impossible.

Sophie hid the emotions in her heart, stood up, and smiled, "It’s too late. You’re not in good health. You should rest early!"

Marcos wasn’t surprised by the sudden change of this woman’s emotions.

He always knew clearly what this woman was trying to do.

The biggest mistake was that she had thoughts that she shouldn’t have!
