Chapter 350
Sophie felt like she was being watched. She quickly turned around, and when she saw it was Bernard,
her face lit up with joy
“Bernard, you finally decided to see me…”
She quickened her pace, running to him.
“Bernard, for the past three years, I’ve been shut out by you. Do you know how much I missed you?”
Bernard smirked, “You missed me?”
Sophie, tears welling up in her eyes, nodded fervently, “Bernard, I once told you that I’ve liked you
since we were kids. How could I not miss you?”
Bernard lifted his indifferent eyes, staring coldly at her, “What about my brother?”
Sophie’s lace changed, a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes, but she still firmly said, “I never loved your
brother. It was always you. If it wasn’t for you being so aloof, why would I agree to date your older
brother…”

swiftly withdrew it.
This rejection made Sophie feel humiliated, followed by a rush of regret.
“I was such a fool. I turned down your proposal to avoid creating a misunderstanding. I should have
married you right after your brother’s death!”
If she had married him back then, how could that annoying Eleanor have
any
chance?
She thought Bernard wasn’t interested in her because she couldn’t meet his standards, so she decided
to go abroad to better herself.
But to her surprise, Bernard found a woman who looked somewhat like her after she left.
She never thought it would turn out this way. Why wasn’t Bernard interested in her, even though they
looked so much alike?
Every time she thought of Bernard, a man obsessed with cleanliness, getting intimate with another
woman, Sophie felt indignant.
She looked at Bernard’s cold face, yelling angrily, “Bernard, no matter what, you promised my brother
you would marry me. You can’t break your promise!” Bernard’s smirk became more pronounced, “You
deceived my brother’s feelings to get close to me, and you still want me to marry you? Dream on!”
If he didn’t know the truth before, he might have married her out of respect for his brother’s dying wish,
but now…..
Bernard raised his hand, signaling the security guard at the gate.:
The guard quickly approached, bowing respectfully, “What can I do for you, Mr. Laurence?”
Bernard pointed at Sophie standing in front of the car, “She just slapped you. Slap her back!“:
The guard was stunned, not expecting his boss to stand up for him.
Feeling somewhat flattered, the guard responded, “Yes, sir, and then he stood up straight and slapped
Sophie hard.

It was his boss’s command, he couldn’t defy his discipline as a retired special forces soldier.
Sophie, who was knocked to the ground, looked at Bernard in disbelief, “How could you… how could
you let a low–life hit me?!”
Bernard seemed not to hear, pulling out a wet wipe and handing it to the guard, “It is dirty, wipe it off.”
The guard, initially upset by Sophie’s insult, didn’t expect his boss to take his side in such a way.
Taking the wet wipe, he started to clean the place where he had touched Sophie.
This was a ruthless trampling on Sophie’s dignity.
He knew she looked down on these guards, but he still chose to humiliate her in this way!
The “dirty” he mentioned was clearly implying she was no nobler than these guards, perhaps even less.
Enraged beyond her limits, Sophie suddenly sprang to her feet and charged at Bernard, but the guard
was quick to grab her.
While struggling, Sophie gritted her teeth and said, “Bernard, you’ve gone too far. You broke off our
engagement, took over the Ratliff family’s business, leaving me no way out. I won’t give you any
chances either. Just you wait!”
Bernard gave her one last cold look, “You should be grateful that my brother loved you when he was
alive, otherwise…”
