Chapter 192
Sophie’s smile was abruptly cut off by Bernard’s cold voice.
After stopping her smile, she walked up to Bernard, looking at him with disappointed eyes, “Bernard,
are you unhappy since I’m here?”
There was no emotion on Bernard’s handsome face as his somber eyes stared at her intently. “Why
are you here?”
This was his private residence in H City, hardly known to anyone. Sophie showing up here could only
mean that she had been following him.
Frightened by his gaze, Sophie stepped back, then after wrapping herself tightly in her bath towel, she
cautiously approached Bernard again.
She said, “Bemard, Donna knows your whereabouts quite well, and she sent me here because she
thinks that since I’ve finished my studies, we should make some progress in our relationship.”
Mustering her courage, she extended her beautiful hand to caress his face but he dodged her touch

He didn’t even deign to grab her wrist and push her away, choosing to avoid her altogether instead.
His disdain for Sophie was as alive as ever.
Sophie laughed with despair. “Bernard, how much longer must I wait for you?!”
Looking down at her, Bernard didn’t bother to say another word, but coldly uttered, “Get out.”
Normally, Sophie would’ve obediently left, never daring to go against Bernard’s wishes.
But now, wrapped in her bath towel, she had put all of her feminine charms on display for him.
He was utterly unmoved, not even sparing her a look, and demanding her to leave. How could she bear
this?
Sophie clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms as she angrily snapped, “You promised him
you would marry me, have you forgotten that?”
Hearing Sophie’s words, the iciness in the depth of Bernard’s eyes didn’t fade, “If it weren’t for him, I
would never marry you. If you understand that, then get out!”
Feeling suffocated, Sophie recalled that in the past, every time she threatened Bernard with this line,
he would always compromise.
Even if he didn’t compromise, at least he’d treat her better. Now he completely disregarded her
feelings, intent on driving her away.
Being the most pampered daughter of the Ratliff family and a top student, Sophie had some self–
esteem too. Since Bernard was so insistent on driving her away, staying any longer would be her fault.
She glared at him fiercely before picking up her clothes left outside the bathroom, then turned and ran
downstairs.
Not looking back, Bernard quickly walked to the bedside table and took out his private cell phone from
the drawer.
When he turned it on, he noticed that yesterday afternoon around 2 pm, Eleanor had made a few calls.
The last one was answered by someone else and ended in less than a minute. After that, she hadn’t
called again.

Feeling restless, he quickly called Eleanor back, eager to hear her voice. However, she didn’t pick up.
He remembered that it was the weekend at home and she always liked to sleep in on her days off, so
he didn’t call her again.
Just as he was about to change rooms and rest, his WhatsApp vibrated with a new message.
On his private phone, he only had one friend on WhatsApp – Eleanor.
He immediately picked up his phone and opened WhatsApp. As he did so, Aidyn’s anxious voice came
from outside the door, “Mr. Laurence, please open the door! Ms. Shultz has had an accident!”
At the same time, he saw the message on WhatsApp saying: Mr. Law, she’s passed away. Please don’t
harass her anymore.
Bernard’s indifferent face suddenly darkened as he quickly turned around to reply: Don’t joke about
this.
By now, Hailey saw the message and sneered: Believe it or not, she’s dead. Mr. Law, if you want to find
her, go to hell!
Bernard’s chest tightened, and with an overcast face, he opened the door to see Aidyn’s flustered
expression.
“What happened?” His usually indifferent voice was trembling ever so slightly.
Seeing Bernard’s calm demeanor, Aidyn’s panic also gradually subsided, “Mr. Laurence, Liana just
called to tell me that Ms. Shultz passed away yesterday at 2:19 pm…”
