Chapter 170: What's Wrong with Having Two Kids?
Dark black snake scales, triangular head - clearly venomous at first glance!
After being hit by Sophia's stone and falling to the ground, the snake was instantly enraged.
Just as it was about to follow the scent to attack Sophia, it caught a much stronger smell than hers.
The snake immediately raised its body and rushed toward the other direction.
When Molly saw the poisonous snake rapidly slithering toward her, she let out a sharp scream and froze in fear, unable to move.
The people around were also startled by the sudden situation and didn't have time to react.
Quinn's secretary quickly picked up a branch and threw it, which completely enraged the snake!
At this critical moment!
William pulled out the hairpin Sophia was wearing, his movements swift, and threw it at the snake - fast, fierce, and accurate! A direct hit!
Since childhood, William had always scored perfectly in all dart and archery activities, never missing once.
This time was no exception!
The snake, which had raised its body and was about to attack Molly, was forcefully pinned into the ground by the hairpin.
Before dying, the snake's body kept twisting.
William moved so fast that he didn't even realize he had accidentally pulled out several strands of Sophia's hair. Her scalp stung briefly, and Sophia froze for a moment.
She and everyone else clearly saw William's protection of the female secretary, at the cost of dirtying her favorite hairpin.
William said, "Sorry, I'll buy you a new one."
Molly was an employee of Peace Group, and as the boss, William couldn't ignore an employee in danger.
Sophia's pinned-up hair fell loose, silky smooth like satin. Compared to the gentle and capable look when her hair was up, she looked quite charming with her hair down.
That is... if she wasn't scowling.
Emily's care for her hair was inherited from Sophia.
Sophia had long hair, which already made it easy to lose hair when combing or washing. Today, several strands were pulled out, making her glare fiercely at William.
Seeing William's thick hair, she couldn't help but say coldly, "Compared to the hairpin, I care more about the hair you pulled out."
Every strand of a girl's hair is precious!
William sensed the anger radiating from her, his gaze falling on her hair. He pressed his lips together, feeling slightly guilty.
He leaned down close to her and said, "Then should I let you pull mine back?"
Sophia was speechless.
He was just responding casually. Even if Sophia really pulled his hair, William wouldn't think anything was wrong with it, but the people around who heard him say this looked at Sophia strangely.
Sophia backed away in disgust, "Stay away from me."
Seeing she made no move, William, who had been bending down, straightened up again. The male secretary following him had already gone to deal with the snake.
After Molly came to her senses, she exchanged a glance with Quinn.
Fortunately, they had only arranged one trained venomous snake; otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
She thought her eye contact with Quinn was well hidden, but the male assistant who had been watching her saw everything clearly.
He quietly noted these suspicious details to report back to Benjamin.
After Sophia had pushed away the two men earlier, she had been standing on one leg. Seeing the snake William had killed, she once again avoided his outstretched hand.
She tried taking two steps forward.
Immediately, a piercing pain shot through her ankle.
William's heart tightened, and he quickly supported her, "Sophia, do I have some disease? Why are you so resistant to me?"
Sophia thought to herself: 'You're scarier than any disease - once you get involved, you're bound to suffer.'
She had figured it out now. She just wanted to stay away from him and avoid the suffering.
Sophia waved her hand, continuing to maintain distance between them.
She said slowly, "Mr. Smith, as a man, you should keep some distance from me."
William felt a lump stuck in his throat, extremely uncomfortable!
He leaned close to Sophia's ear, lowering his voice and saying through gritted teeth, "Do I need to remind you that you and I were married for five years and had two children together?"
William's strong, domineering presence hit her full force. Sophia frowned uncomfortably, her expression changing slightly.
She glanced at the other people who were discussing how a venomous snake could appear here, not hiding the disgust in her eyes for William at all.
Sophia directly fought back, showing William no respect whatsoever.
"If I had the chance, I'd crack open your brain and study it carefully to figure out exactly what stupid substance makes up your brain!"
She just couldn't understand it!
William was so capable at work, so strategic at the negotiation table, so how could he be so stupid in personal life?
William said through gritted teeth, "Sophia Johnson!"
"Stop shouting. I know my name sounds nice, but it can't withstand you calling it over and over. My ears are going deaf from your shouting."
When it came to verbal sparring, William was no match for Sophia.
She glanced at Molly, who was secretly watching her from across the way, and couldn't help but sigh. William was like the only delicate flower in a vast green meadow, attracting all the bees from miles around, eager to gather nectar.
One Alice left, and now there's a Molly. Who knows who'll come next?
The key point is, they've been divorced for over 800 days!
Her daughter is almost two years old!
Any woman who wants to become William's wife always points the finger at her, the ex-wife!
Do they think his decision to marry depends on her approval?
Sophia took a deep breath, constantly telling herself to stay elegant and not lose her dignity in front of others.
She spoke extremely fast, but every word was crystal clear, and her coldness toward him was fully displayed.
"Let me remind you too - we're divorced!"
"So what if we have children? Even if we had two hundred children, you and I are strangers now!"
William looked down at her, unable to get a word in.
Benjamin, who was standing close by, heard their entire conversation. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he silently stepped back half a step, deciding not to add fuel to Sophia's anger at this moment.
He was very self-aware. Until his family's harm to Sophia was repaid, he wasn't much better than William in Sophia's eyes.
Sophia gently moved her injured ankle and chose to walk by herself!
Relying on men? Relying on yourself is most important!
At this moment, the Johnson family's female bodyguard silently extended her arm, and Sophia naturally took it for support, quickly reaching the shuttle bus area.
Due to the venomous snake incident, this site inspection ended there.
Molly, who was originally going to sit in the passenger seat, was directly asked to get out by Mark, "Ms. White, this is my seat."
Molly paused, "I have work to report to Mr. Smith."
After speaking, she looked at William's expression, only to meet a pair of cold eyes staring at her indifferently.
William said, "Ms. White, from now on, you'll only handle internal company affairs. Everything else will be transferred to Tony."
Next week, William was going abroad on a business trip.
If Tony hadn't recovered by then, the ones accompanying him would be Molly and the male secretary from this trip. Her fingertips dug into her palm as she nodded knowingly and headed to the car behind.
Mark got in the passenger seat, and the driver quickly started the car.
Several cars arrived at the hotel parking lot simultaneously. Throughout the journey, William's expression had been terrifyingly dark.
Before he could get out, someone knocked on his window. He glanced at the smiling woman outside, his slender fingers resting on the door.
William said, "What do you..." need.
The window rolled down. Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a pain in his scalp. Sophia's slender fingertips held several strands of hair.
Sophia's force just now wasn't small.
It was definitely stronger than when William pulled out her hair!
The pain was definitely more intense, too!
Looking at the few strands of hair in her palm, the pent-up frustration in Sophia's heart immediately dissipated.
She was being respectful to William by not pulling his hair directly at the inspection site. Everything now was what he deserved.
Sophia smiled, "What goes around comes around."
He would apply some hair gel for formal occasions. Feeling the slightly stiff hair in her palm after styling, Sophia threw it away in disgust.
William fell silent.
