Chapter 370 Train Her Well
But those people outside seemed oblivious to those rumors, throwing themselves at him one after another.
Andrew had always watched coldly from the sidelines, completely unmoved.
His emotions ran cold too.
When his family found out about this, they didn't really believe it.
After all, with so many women liking him, how could he not be interested in any of them?
But only Andrew knew that he truly had never been moved.
Until he met Olivia - that's when things changed.
Thinking back now, that old senior's hesitation when talking to him meant there were things left unsaid.
As for what those were...
Most likely, he had seen something about Olivia's situation and felt things weren't looking good for them.
But Andrew just smiled calmly.
Worldly opinions and gossip were indeed scary.
But if they didn't care about them, wouldn't everything work itself out?
As long as you were strong enough!
After chatting for quite a while, Olivia started getting tired and went back to her room to wash up and rest.
Only after she left did Andrew instruct David, "Look into how Sophia ended up in Harmony City."
David quickly responded, "Yes!"
The next morning, when Olivia got up, she was worried that Bianca would be affected by the previous day and cry about not wanting to go to school.
But surprisingly, Bianca was as well-behaved as ever.
It was as if what happened last night never existed.
After Bianca finished breakfast, Olivia couldn't help but look at her daughter with concern and ask, "Bianca, are you not scared anymore?"
Bianca nodded her little head, her face showing a happy smile as she told Olivia, "Daddy said he'll protect me, so I'm not scared anymore!"
Andrew watched the mother and daughter from the side, his eyes full of satisfaction.
Olivia smiled silently.
Sure enough, Bianca still needed him to comfort her.
She raised her hand and gently rubbed Bianca's nose, praising her, "Bianca, you're so great! Trusting your daddy is the right thing to do!"
Then Olivia kissed her cheek, "Now go get your backpack ready, and we'll take you to kindergarten, okay?"
"Okay!" Bianca nodded and immediately put on her little backpack.
After dropping off Bianca, Andrew took Olivia to the research institute.
Only after her figure completely disappeared did David report to him about last night's investigation.
"When Sophia couldn't make it in Emerald City anymore, she happened to run into a wealthy businessman from Harmony City.
That businessman is Peter Nelson."
Andrew's brow furrowed slightly.
He hadn't heard of this person.
David knew Andrew probably had no impression of him, so he quickly introduced him, saying, "The Nelson family used to be an old wealthy family, but they've declined now.
Today's Nelson family doesn't even rank in Harmony City.
Plus, that Peter is a balding old man almost fifty years old.
Apparently, he has special... preferences. He's been married twice before, but both wives divorced him because he was too perverted.
He has plenty of mistresses on the side, but none of them stay with him very long.
Peter is pretty generous with money though, willing to pay up."
Hearing this, Andrew had already guessed what was going on.
He let out a casual, mocking laugh and said, "Even after such a huge setback, she still hasn't learned to behave. She really is restless."
David nodded, deeply agreeing with Andrew's words.
He said, "Sophia has gotten used to living a wealthy life, and Michael used to cherish her so much.
How could she easily give up the chance to return to high society?
Not to mention, after being worn down for a while in Emerald City.
By comparison, she naturally can't stand the hard life even more.
But that woman does have some skills - she actually managed to convince Peter to bring her to Harmony City."
Andrew listened to David talk, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest the whole time.
After David finished, he casually replied, "Is that so? Looks like she needs more discipline!
Find someone to arrange a meeting with Peter. Give him some benefits and tell him to 'make sure' to take good care of Sophia.
Since Sophia is his woman, he should keep a close eye on her and not let her run around everywhere.
Some places in Harmony City aren't for her to set foot in!"
The last words carried a cold warning.
David immediately nodded, "I understand!"
He also knew that Sophia running to the kindergarten to bother Bianca had upset Olivia.
So how could Andrew be happy about it?
Sophia really loved making trouble for herself.
David acted quickly.
Almost as soon as he got back to the company, he called another company. "I heard Peter wants to work with you. Give him that deal, and I'll allow you a bigger business opportunity.
But you need to pass along a message to Peter for me."
The person in charge never expected such good fortune to suddenly fall into his lap.
He was overjoyed and said incredulously, "Please tell me!"
David quickly relayed Andrew's instructions!
At nine in the morning, in a villa district in Harmony City, Peter had just finished breakfast when he heard that the deal he'd been working on for so long had actually been closed.
This good news made him so happy that the fat on his face jiggled.
Sophia came down from upstairs all dolled up, and immediately saw the greasy-faced, pot-bellied man in the dining room.
Her eyes couldn't hide her disgust.
But when his gaze turned toward her, she still put on a smile, acting as if she cared deeply for him, and asked, "Honey, what's making you so happy?"
Peter looked at her, his murky eyes carrying some scrutiny and assessment.
He smiled and touched his face, saying, "Of course it's because the company just landed a big project."
Hearing this, Sophia immediately smiled with delight, "Really? That's wonderful!"
She quickly walked to Peter's side, hooking her arm around his neck, looking worshipful as she praised him, "Honey, you're so amazing!"
This joy had some genuine feeling to it.
Because after spending this time together, Sophia had come to understand that Peter was very generous.
Whenever he was in a good mood, he would give her lots of benefits.
Today the company landed a deal they'd been trying to get for so long - he was so happy, maybe he'd give her a big sum!
However, just as Sophia's hopes were rising, the next second, she saw Peter suddenly squinting at her.
As if picking faults, he said unhappily, "Why are you all dolled up so early in the morning? What are you planning to do?"
Sophia calmly tried to please him, "Oh honey, I just wanted to go out for a bit, and buy some nice clothes to make you happy."
Peter's face showed a fake smile as he said, "No need to go shopping. I already had someone send over some clothes for you. They're right there, go take a look."
Sophia froze for a moment.
He prepared clothes for her?
She instinctively turned around.
Sure enough, she saw several bags in the living room that hadn't been there before.
She could only cooperatively go open them, already thinking about how to praise him to make him happy.
But unexpectedly, when she opened them, inside was a pile of lingerie that barely covered anything.
Sophia's expression froze on the spot.
But Peter acted as if he couldn't see it, hugging her from behind.
His greasy face wore a sleazy smile as he asked, "Baby, do you like them?"
Sophia forced a smile and said words she didn't mean, "I love them..."
But inside, she was already disgusted to the point of wanting to vomit.
The only reason she was with Peter was to use him as a stepping stone and ATM.
She had found out that Michael had come to Harmony City.
She knew he came to win back Olivia!
Just thinking about the two of them getting back together, the hatred in Sophia's heart almost consumed her.
Why!
She just made a mistake when she was young - why couldn't he forgive her?
Didn't he love her so much?
The Johnson family and everything that came with it had been so close, within reach.
But at her happiest moment, he pulled away and went back to Olivia.
What was even more infuriating was that after coming to Harmony City, she heard that Olivia had become Andrew's girlfriend and was being spoiled rotten by him.
Why?
Why did she have to go through all this?
Why did Olivia get all the good things?
All this resentment made it impossible for Sophia to continue her drunken, dream-like days in Emerald City.
She wanted revenge!
She wanted to take back everything that belonged to her!
After careful selection, Peter appeared!
Sophia wasn't going to let this opportunity slip away.
As quickly as possible, she deceived the old man in front of her.
Coming to Harmony City was to find a new way forward.
Thinking about her sacrifices and the miserable state she was in when this old man tormented her in the bedroom, Sophia felt sick again.
However, before her thoughts could settle, Peter, who had been smiling just moments ago, suddenly ordered her, "Go put them on now and show me."
Sophia froze.
Of course she didn't want to, but on the surface, she acted shy and said, "Oh my, in broad daylight? Can we wait until tonight?"
Peter's mood changed in an instant.
A vicious look appeared on his greasy face, "You want to defy me? Sophia, have you forgotten who your master is?
I'm telling you to put them on now, so do it now!"
Without waiting for Sophia to speak, he roughly dragged her toward the bedroom.
Sophia was so scared her legs were shaking.
Only she knew that this old pervert had tormented her in all sorts of ways just last night.
Her body still had red marks from candle wax burns.
Was he crazy?
"Honey, don't do this..." She tried to struggle.
But how could she match Peter's strength? In no time, Sophia was forcibly dragged into the bedroom.
Soon after, intermittent screams of pain mixed with pleasure came from inside.
