lly at the frantic Ethan, her lips curling into a more mocking smille
Sophia looked on coldly at the frantic
Was this how men were at their core–naturally pathetic?
Back then, she had relentlessly pursued him, yet he looked down on her. Now, he was throwing a tantrum in front of her, acting like a fool. It was truly disgusting.
Sophia didn’t want to waste any more time on him. She gave him a cold, indifferent once–over, “Mr. Baker, maybe it’s time to put away your worthless attitude. You really do look like a joke right now”
She raised her brow slightly, glancing at the blurry figures inside the white race car, recognizing that Tristan had already hung up.
She walked back to the car and opened the door, ready to get inside.
Ethan’s eyes narrowed sharply as he watched her. The old Sophia would never have treated him this way
Even when he kissed other women right in front of her, she would meekly follow behind him, standing alone in the corner, silently enduring the heartache and pain. No matter the situation, she was always the first to back down and apologize
But now, she actually used such a cold, sarcastic expression and words to provoke him. Was it because she was L
In a burst of anger, Ethan shoved Chloe aside and lunged at Sophia, grabbing the door she had just opened. “Yes! If I had known you were L. from the beginning. I would have treated you properly! If you wanted to get married, I would have married you! It’s you who hid it from me. You knew how much I admired L. but you never told me you were L
Sophia frowned and took a step! back
How had she not noticed before how mentally unstable Ethan was? Wanting to marry someone just because of their identity? His love seemed so cheap.
Luckily, she hadn’t revealed she was before, or else she wouldn’t be able to get rid of this psycho now.
Ethan’s expression soured as he watched Sophia distance herself from him with clear disdain.
His voice grew hoarse, his eyes locked onto Sophia with a manic intensity, “Sophia, you begged me to keep you by my side, to accept you as my fiancée! You can’t possibly not love me!
“I know it’s because of Chloe, right? You’re angry at me because of her. You disappeared for so many days just because of my engagement to her, and it broke your heart, right?
“You found out I was bringing Chloe to The Abyss for the race, so you came here on purpose, revealing you’re right in front of me! Don’t tell me you didn’t do all this just to get my attention, to try to take me away from Chloe!”
The more Ethan spoke, the more certain he became.
The image of Sophia as a devoted follower had been deeply ingrained in Ethan’s mand for the past three years. He couldn’t believe she would give up on him so easily.
If she were that easy to give up, she wouldn’t have stuck around for three years.
Now, she was just acting out because he was with Chloe, the one who took everything from her
She harbored resentment and bitterness, which led her to use these tactics to get back at Chloe and him.
In the end, it was all because she cared too much about him.
- had announced her retirement from the racing world three years ago, and that was when Sophia started following him. She left the racing scene
for him.
And now, she’s returning to the track, once again for him!
The more Ethan thought about it, the more excited he became. Just imagining that the goddess he had admired for so long had once stepped away for him and now returned for him, made him feel incredibly proud!
Sophia was speechless. This idiot really knew how to overthink. He was such an egomaniac and disgusting person!

Chapter 21
She had been grinding away at the “dungeon” for the past three years, and this is what she got? It was downright embarrassing, basically her disreputable history!
Sophia stared at Ethan’s smug face, took a deep breath, and was about to kick him out, when she suddenly heard a loud, pained scream
Ethan twisted and fell backward, his body contorting in a painful position.
The man in the white racing suit, exuding an air of aloofness, grabbed Ethan by the back of his collar and ground nearby.
d tossed him violently onto the vacant
Ethan hit the ground, and the sharp pain brought his senses back to full clarity. His face twisted in agony as he snapped his head up, glaring viciously at the man who had thrown him.
The man was tall and composed, his expression cold. His jawline was sharp, and his eyes held a piercing, frosty gaze.
Ethan’s expression instantly froze, and his face turned pale as his lips trembled, “Mr. Yeats?”
His whole body stiffened, lips drained of color, and his face was filled with shock and disbelief.
The aloof, elegant man in front of him was just the one he had been eager to befriend and latch onto head of the Yeats Family, Tristan
–
the most distinguished man in Virela, the
The main reason Ethan came to The Abyss tonight was because he had heard that Tristan would be here.
He wasn’t sure why, but over the past three years, the business of the Baker Family had been inexplicably hindered, facing one problem after another, making it increasingly difficult for the Raker Family to maintain their standing in the upper class
This was why, over the past three years, Ethan had allowed Sophia to fawn over him.
The Stewart Family was not on par with the Baker Family.
But at least, for now, the Baker Family held a higher position than the Stewart Family. And Erhan could still use the Stewart Family’s desire to get close to the Baker Family to his advantage, leveraging them to pave the way for the Baker Family,
But if the Baker Family continued on this path, it wouldn’t be long before they faced the threat of bankruptcy
However, if the Baker Family could attach themselves to the Years Family, just a little bit of resources from them would be enough to revive the Baker Family!
Ethan had imagined countless scenarios of meeting Tristan, rehearsed various ways to introduce himself, but he never expreted it to unfold like This
The anger that had flared up because of Sophia quickly fades. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He stared at Tristan in complete shock, his mind momentarily fogged Why was Tristen stepping out of Y’s car? And why did Tristan lay hands on
him!
Ethan trembled as he got up from the ground with the help of Chloe. He dared not show the slightest sign of displeasure on his face and even appeared a little fearful. “Mr. Yeats, I’m sorry, I don’t know what I did to offend you
Before Ethan could finish, Tristan coldly yet gracefully averted his gaze, turning to look at Sophia. His expression softened slightly as he asked, “Miss Roscente, have you run into some trouble?”
Sophia glanced at the pale–faced Ethan. Seeing ham trembling, utterly unable to muster any dellance, she let out a light scoff “Yeah, just a bunch of
idiots.”
