Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control

Chapter 191 Chop It!

"Well, I'll keep my mouth shut then. Dorothy, you can stay with your mom. I'll have a gentleman talk

with Colin first." They seem to be a real family. Their interaction was admirable and it was obvious that

they knew each other very well.

Colin handed over the present to Marcella and then went with Gregary to meet several businessmen.

As Sophia and Hugh were talking rather seriously with the general manager of Ji Clan, Colin and

Gregary came over to them. They stood together in a circle.

"Are Mr. Pei and Mr. Li old friends? Looks to me as if you know each other pretty well." A new general

manager from A Country asked them. Since he was new to the area, he doesn't know about their

history just yet.

Colin and Hugh took a glance at each other. There was nothing but innocence in their eyes. "Yes.

We've been friends for many years."

Hugh draped his arm around Colin's shoulder and said in a friendly way, "Yes. We're good friends!"

Deep down both of them, they were still good friends. Sophia was the only issue that separated them. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

With a glass of red wine in her hand, Sophia lowered her head in embarrassment. She knew that she

was the reason why Colin and Hugh had developed a gap from each other.

The general manager naively asked Hugh, "Mr. Pei, I find Miss Lo so brilliant and beautiful. She must

be your girlfriend."

Well... Everyone in the circle were taken aback with the manager's words as they fell awkwardly silent.

When Sophia raised her head, Hugh responded quickly, "Not yet. But I'm pursuing her!"

His response defused the awkward atmosphere. All of them burst into laughter. The general manager

said in a more cheerful tone, "Mr. Pei, you should step up your game. Since Miss Lo is so beautiful,

there must be many men pursuing her! That I'm sure!"

Sophia moved closer to Hugh and looked at the general manager with her signature lovely smile. "I'm

flattered. Since Hugh has been so kind to me, I would probably be with him in the near future."

Her humorous yet ironic reply made people laugh again. People did not dare to mention anything about

their past. Seeing that Sophia and Hugh have already developed an intimacy with each other, Gregary

heaved a sigh of relief.

He would no longer worry about his assumption that Sophia would still pursue Colin.

Hugh grinned from ear to ear. Although he knew that Sophia was just making a scene, he was still very

happy as he believed that his dream to be with her would eventually come true.

Colin bottomed up a glass of wine. Then Dorothy came out of nowhere and hooked her arm on his.

"Colin, what are you talking about? You guys seem to be very happy and animated. I can't miss out on

such happy moment."

When she saw that Sophia and Colin were happily talking in the same circle, Dorothy immediately

came over, wary that the two would get close again.

The general manager didn't actually know about their relationship. He said, "Miss Lien, we're talking

about the growing affection between Mr. Pei and Miss Lo. Their relationship is as good as you and Mr.

Li's!"

His words made everyone glance at each other in secret. 'Were Colin and Dorothy really in good

relationship? We could't see that. All we saw was a man forcing himself to marry a woman.' On the

other hand, they knew so well that Colin and Sophia loved each other deeply three years ago. They

wondered if that was still true up to this day...

Dorothy pretended to be suddenly enlightened and asked Sophia out of mere curiosity, "Colin and I will

marry at the end of next month. What about Miss Lo and Mr. Pei? I believe it's already time that you

two tie the knot."

"Maybe at the end of the year." Sophia answered. She glanced at Colin with such grace and calmness.

Her eyes were like telling Colin that he would regret leaving her.

But Colin stayed still and did not even flinch when Sophia looked at him.

Dorothy nodded happily, like an innocent girl. Indeed, she was glad that Sophia had decided to move

on from Colin. "Congratulations! Will you invite Colin and me to your wedding ceremony?"

"Of course! I'll personally send you the invitation! You have to be there!" Hugh replied. He felt Sophia's

sadness and played along.

Later on, Sophia didn't listen anymore to what they were talking about. She was immersed in her own

thoughts.

Though she knew Colin didn't love her anymore, she still wanted to make him jealous. How ridiculous

she was! Why couldn't she just move on? She would just end up feeling empty.

As the dinner was about to be served, a woman suddenly appeared in the hall. Everyone looked at her

as she handed over a big box to Marcella. "Excuse me, Mrs. Lien. Sorry to interrupt your party. This is

a birthday present for you. Please sign it."

Perplexed, Marcella stared at the box. "Who sent it?"

"Sorry, I honestly don't know. There is no name on it." The woman said naively.

Marcella finally signed her name. After the delivery woman left, Marcella was about to give the box to

her butler and continue with the party.

Suddenly, the cover of the box somehow opened a crack. In a panic, Marcella dropped the box onto

the floor.

"Meow!" A cat cried out, followed by a series of screaming.

To the horror of everyone, the black cat flung onto the shoulder of Marcella. Marcella was too scared to

move as she froze in fear. As the cat moved to her other shoulder, she accidentally tripped on a rock

and fell down.

However, the black cat clinched to her long dress tightly. When she fell down, the cat nestled

comfortably in her arms.

"Ah! Come on! Pull this damn cat away! Chop and kill this creature! Now!" Marcella's words shocked

everyone.

They didn't expect that such an elegant lady was actually so cruel!

Finally, Gregary came over to throw the cat away and helped Marcella get up on her feet.

Marcella's carefully dressed hair was in a total mess right now. With a pale face, she held on Gregary's

arm tightly. "Come on! Catch the cat and deal with it! I want it gone!!"

The hall was in a blank silence. Everyone looked at each other in astonishment.

They thought they were just hallucinating as they couldn't believe how the woman in front of them was

acting. But now, they were completely convinced how cruel Marcella was!

Everyone began to gossip and talk about Marcella, criticizing her maliciousness.

Some people even looked at her with sneers and raised eyebrows, as if she didn't deserve to be a

noble woman...

Gregary shouted at Marcella, "Shut up! Collect yourself together! That was just a cat, for God's sake!"

His sharp and fiery eyes made Marcella sober. She suddenly realized that they were in a public place.

In an instant, she felt completely ashamed. She hurried to gather her senses and issued a heartfelt

apology to everyone, "I'm sorry. Please forgive me. That was not like me at all."

The black cat was caught by a security guard. Someone shouted from the crowd, "Please don't kill it!"

"Totally! Mrs. Lien didn't get hurt, did she? It's too malicious to kill it! Too vicious!"

"Oh my god, how bloody and cruel this woman is!"

...

Hearing everyone criticizing her actions, Marcella's face turned red. Embarrassed as she was, she still

tried to convince everyone, "Sorry for my actions. It was just the heat of the moment. How can I kill

such lovely creature? Mr. Liu, please take this cat away and be careful in handling her."

"Yes, madam."

Hearing her words, people stopped discussing about it. After the black cat was taken away, Marcella

went upstairs to dress herself up and the hall returned to its lively atmosphere.

Sophia looked at the scene at a distance and heaved a sigh.

If Marcella did really kill the cat, she would be forever known as a vicious woman.

Luckily, she gathered herself up in an instant.

On the second floor.

Sitting before the dressing table, Marcella held the corners of the table tightly. She had never been so

disgraced before!

What's worse, today was all about her. How humiliating! Who was behind this?! Who sent the cat to

her? That person must have known her because cat was her greatest fear!
