Chapter 315 The Green Family's Secret Key
"Don't follow me." William's voice was cold.
But the girl looked at him with a cheerful smile, "I won't listen. William, Mr. Harris told me to stick with you and learn during this time. You can't shake me off."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but want to get closer to William, only to see his retreating figure quickening its pace.
William walked steadily. Mark, who was guarding the door, had already opened the car door. He never once looked back at her, but this only made the girl's desire to conquer him grow stronger.
"One day you'll submit to me and cherish me in the palm of your hand!"
In her eyes, William was full of challenge, and she was filled with determination to win him over.
Inside the car as it sped smoothly along.
Mark saw the message from his subordinates and immediately reported it to William without hesitation.
"Mr. Smith, Ryan went to Rain Village."
William tugged at his tie, his slender fingers suddenly pausing.
He thought about the information they had found earlier about Ryan.
William's emotionless eyes instantly became even colder than before.
He said in a deep voice, "Leak the information to Rebecca."
Although he didn't know why Miguel still wanted to let that imposter occupy the position of the Morris family's daughter, given the current situation, not exposing Sophia's identity would do her nothing but good.
Perhaps that's exactly what Miguel was thinking.
Mark immediately arranged for someone to handle this matter according to his instructions.
Miguel already knew who his biological daughter was.
No one in the Morris family had told Rebecca, so she still thought she was doing a good job pretending.
Learning that Ryan had gone to see Sophia again, Rebecca's face instantly darkened.
Rebecca clutched her fragile heart, remembering how she had risked going to Seraphim Underground City back then, hoping to reach ZN Laboratory through Lucas to cure her illness and finally conceive Ryan’s child.
But then the unexpected happened.
After all that trouble, the plan failed, and she had nearly been taken advantage of by that old man.
Rebecca was furious, "Book me the fastest flight to Cloud City!"
She didn't even return to the Morris Villa and gave instructions directly to the driver.
At this time in Rain Village, the Johnson Villa's living room was filled with a heavy atmosphere.
Emily had already been taken upstairs by the maid for her afternoon nap.
At this moment in the living room, there were only Sophia and Ryan.
She got straight to the point and asked him the purpose of his visit.
"I don't think you're someone who cares about romance and love. If you have any conditions, you can talk directly. No need to beat around the bush and do things that people can't understand."
The water in front of Ryan had already gone cold. and his eyes stayed fixed on her without blinking.
"What if I say, yes?"
Sophia frowned, looking at him as if trying to see through his heart, clearly not trusting what he just said at all.
Her instinct told her Ryan wasn’t being honest.
If he really was someone who acted on emotions, he could never have reached his current position.
Much less become someone everyone in Suncrest City feared.
In Suncrest City, anything associated with 'Morris' commanded much more respect than other people or things.
Not to mention the two of them had never met in the first twenty-some years.
Even if they were madly in love, given Ryan's nature, even his love would be rational.
His current behavior, in Sophia's view, meant there was something profitable about her.
Besides the interests behind ZN Laboratory, she couldn't think of anything else for now.
Ryan looked up, "You really don't believe in your own charm?"
Ryan's eyes were beautiful, his face so refined you couldn't find any flaws. Looking at him too long, it was easy to get lost in the atmosphere he created.
"It's not that I don't believe in my own charm, but that I don't believe in you."
At this moment, Ryan was calmly staring at her eyes, neither confirming nor denying her words.
"I promised Nova I would give you happiness."
Sophia immediately shot him a cold look and mocked, "You better not say that. I'm afraid my mom will climb out of her coffin and slap you twice."
Ryan fell silent. Those words were crude, yet somehow they lingered in his mind.
But hearing them more, they were actually becoming pleasant to the ear.
Her voice was very cold, yet it always gave people a captivating feeling, full of story.
"Ryan, even if you deeply love a woman, once it involves certain interests, I believe you would definitely become rational, even personally eliminate your own loose ends."
This kind of person was a natural ruler.
Calm, indifferent.
Wouldn't let excess emotions linger and affect his own decisions.
Ryan, "Is that so?"
This was the first time someone could see through his nature at a glance.
His gaze swept over Sophia's eyes, the faint curve at the corner of his mouth now also restrained.
"Don't you want to know the secret of this bracelet?"
A bracelet related to both her mother and grandmother, whom she cared about—Ryan didn't believe she was interested.
Sophia really did want to know what unknown secret this bracelet held, but if it required sacrificing herself to emotionally entangle with a man she didn't love, she wouldn't make that losing deal.
"I do, but I can live without knowing." Her voice was firm.
Ryan raised an eyebrow. His interest in her reached a peak at this moment.
"Why not try to understand each other?"
He was like a poisonous snake tempting someone to steal an apple, his charming voice hiding unknown risks.
Sophia said, "There's no need for that."
"I'm not bad looking, I'm capable too. I don't know what about me doesn't meet your standards?"
"Or is it that you still have feelings for that ex-husband?" Ryan's voice was low, sounding like he was probing.
Suddenly, Sophia laughed softly.
"There are plenty of good-looking men in this world. Should I accept every single one that comes along?"
She asked back, "Rebecca is also very beautiful. Why don't you marry her? Right now, she's the Morris family's daughter, which would be more helpful for consolidating your own position, wouldn't it?"
Ryan seemed to realize his words just now were somewhat inappropriate.
After a brief pause, he dropped the casual demeanor he had deliberately created, his gaze burning as he stared at the woman across from him.
Outside the window, the afternoon sun was bright.
The temperature inside the room, however, dropped considerably in an instant.
Sophia and Ryan locked eyes. Ryan's eyes were full of danger.
At that moment, Ryan dropped all disguise — this was his true self.
His eyes were cold, sharp, and penetrating, revealing an unshakeable arrogance and confidence that slowly spread through his deep gaze.
An aura of control flowed around him, a weight of authority that could not be denied.
Completely different from how he appeared in front of Miguel.
The cub raised by the lion had long since become something that surpassed the lion itself.
Ryan gazed deeply at her and slowly said, "This bracelet is the key to opening the Green family's secret treasure."
