Chapter 170 Kindness to My Enemy Is Cruelty to Myself
Rhett wanted to fight back but failed. He answered in an ingratiating manner, "Ms. Lawson, how are
you? I apologize if I'm interrupting. Could you please have mercy on me and tell Mr. Riley to let go of
the Frost family? I'm sorry. It was all my fault before."
"Huh?" Sophia was surprised and asked, "What made you apologize, Mr. Frost? I doubt if I hear it
wrong."
Her words pissed Rhett off. Inwardly, he cursed her. If Drake hadn't helped her, she wouldn't have been
so arrogant.
"Yes, Ms. Lawson. It was all my fault. Please stop torturing our family. My family might be ruined in my
hands if it goes on."
"Mr. Frost, before you made a move, didn't you consider the consequences?"
Sophia's words rendered Rhett wordless.
"You know what I think? Mr. Frost, you did those things because you didn't think Drake Riley would help
me. From the beginning, you look down on me. Then I taught you a lesson. What's wrong with it?"
Rhett had never seen such an arrogant woman.
He seethed with rage but had to answer patiently, "Yes, Ms. Lawson. You are right. I was too... I do Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
apologize."
"If the apology works, why do we need cops?"
Rhett looked annoyed. A while later, he asked, "Ms. Lawson, do you mean you won't let go of the Frost
family?"
"Kindness to my enemy is cruelty to myself. If I let go of you, who knows what you'll do to me next? I
don't want to take risks."
Chloe breathed a sigh of relief while listening to their conversation.
She had thought Sophia would forgive the Frost family.
Paula's father couldn't do anything. He had thought about and tried many ways recently but failed.
Therefore, he had to call Sophia this morning.
"Ms. Lawson, please tell me your requirements. I'll do everything you want. Please let go of us."
"Well..." Sophia thought for a moment. "In this case, I need to think about it."
Gritting his teeth, Rhett almost blew up. 'I gave her an inch, she'd take a mile. What a bitch she is!'
"I can help you, but you must give me 10% of your company's shares."
"Dream..." Before finishing his words, Rhett softened his tone. "Ms. Lawson, can we negotiate?"
Sophia noticed he changed his tone and chuckled, "For the sake of your good attitude, let me explain.
I'll give 6% to Drake Riley and keep the rest 4%. Mr. Frost, you should know what decision to make.'
Rhett gritted his teeth. "OK. Deal."
"You are indeed generous and straightforward, Mr. Frost." Sophia ended the call with a triumphant
smile. "Great! I obtained some company shares again. I have money to spend without working hard."
Chloe was amused. "You are indeed a robber, Sophia."
"The opportunity like this just fell into my lap. Why couldn't I grasp it? No worries. When I get the
shares, I'll treat you guys to a feast."
"I like a handbag."
"I'll get it for you."
With a smile still on her face, Chloe asked, "Sophia, the kiss marks..."
Sophia looked at herself and asked hurriedly, "Are they THAT evident?"
"I can see them clearly. What on earth happened?"
Sophia heaved a sigh. "I failed to resist his charm last night."
Chloe burst into laughter. "Sophia, did Drake use a honey trap?"
"Even if he didn't and only stood there, I would be bewitched by him."
Chloe shook her head. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "Did you take the pills?'
"No. I don't plan to. If I'm pregnant, I'll give birth to the child. This is probably the last connection
between Drake and me. If I have the baby, I'll vanish in his life completely."
Chloe asked in surprise, "Sophia, are you planning to steal his sperm?"
"Nope. Anyway... Let nature take its flow."
Before Chloe spoke again, Rhett faxed them the contract. She went to deal with it.
After reading the contract without detecting any problems, Chloe passed it to Sophia.
Sophia signed after reading it through.
"This copy is for Drake. Shall I go, or will you go to his company?"
Sophia darted a glance at it and said, "I'll go."
"Don't be fooled by his honey trap again."
Sophia laughed loudly and was about to hit her. "Chloe, are you make fun of me? Huh?"
They both giggled.
When Sophia finished her job, she went to the Riley Group.
This was her first time coming here.
Although she passed by this building often, she had different feelings when she entered it.
Sophia exhaled gently, walking toward the elevator.
Since she didn't wear a work badge, a security guard stopped her.
"Excuse me, Ma'am. You don't work here, do you?"
Sophia answered, "No, I don't. I'm delivering a contract to your president. May I go in?"
"Do you have an appointment, ma'am?"
Sophia beamed at him, her eyes full of loneliness and helplessness.
She realized that she needed an appointment to meet Drake.
Of course, Drake needed it to meet her as well. The thought pleased her.
"No, I don't."
"I'm afraid I cannot let you go upstairs."
Sophia was wondering what to do to make the security guard let her go into the elevator.
He added, "Ma'am, you can make an appointment with the receptionist first. Please write down your
information. When your appointment approaches, they'll call you."
If she didn't have anything urgent, she could do it. However, since she had promised the Frost family,
she couldn't wait.
"Or, you may want to call Mr. Riley's number if you have it," the security guard suggested.
'His number?'
Sophia recalled his old number. She didn't know if he was still using it.
After all, three years had passed. She didn't think Drake would keep it.
Sophia hesitantly pulled out her phone and dialed the number.
Much to her surprise, the call was connected.
"Hello?" a man's voice sounded.
Sophia didn't speak immediately.
He continued, "Is that you, Sophia?"
