Chapter 38
Hugo’s lips curved into a cynical smile. “I must admit, I was merely testing you, Bella. But who would’ve guessed it was all true? Quite impressive, I must say.”
This tactic of entrapment for the truth was a lesson Lukas had taught to him!
Fella’s expression flickered between defiance and uncertainty, “So what if you know? The netizens are already aware of my past wrist–cutting incident, and you have no evidence to use against me. Don’t even dream of using Sophia’s recordings to blackmail me. Remember,
you were thoroughly searched before entering, and I anticipated your moves!”
Despite her confident demeanor, the wavering in her voice betrayed her uncertainty.
Hugo coldly locked eyes with her and remained silent. He sneered inwardly, “What’s the
point of being so cautious? You couldn’t stop Lukas!”
Bella suddenly seized a nearby fruit knife, she sliced her wrist with unflinching
determination. Crimson blood welled up. She pressed the emergency button without
hesitation, summoning help.
Hugo was utterly stunned by her drastic actions, his mind a whirlwind of emotions. He
looked at her in disbelief. “You…”
“This time, it’s real. Do you think you still have any leverage to threaten me?” Bella sneered.
“You’re really willing to harm yourself!” Hugo struggled to find words to express his shock.
Bella snorted coldly, “Should I have waited for you to find evidence and then be at your
mercy? I’m not that naive!”
Before Hugo could respond, a doctor rushed in, pushing him aside.
The news of the shocking incident spread like wildfire across the internet that afternoon.
“Breaking News! Sophia refused to drop the lawsuit. Bella lost control and cut her wrist
again and was rushed to the operating room a second time!”

Sophia POV:
When I came across the disturbing news, I received a call from takes. He died me to com
to his office,
I immediately went upstairs and went to his office,
Upon entering, I found Lukas engrossed in his computer, a roquish smile playing on his lipe as though he saw something highly amusing
My eyes flashed, “Mr Strakovski, did you need me for something?”
Hearing my voice, Lukas was momentarily taken aback, a playful grin soon replaced his surprise. “Hmm. Feel free to have a seat.”
I pursed my lips, “No need, I’m fine standing”
Lukas looked at me with a half–smile, “What’s your take on the online public opinion?
My eyes flickered with thought and replied honestly, “I have no opinion.”
Lukas sneered, “You’re remarkably calm, and I must say. It’s quite impressive.”
Looking up, I responded, “When you already have a plan in motion, there’s no need for
unnecessary worry.”
“Oh, do enlighten me. What plan do you think I have?” he prodded, his eyes flashed with

surprise.
I answered without hesitation. “Hugo has been in cahoots with Bella for two years. He must possess evidence that can expose her lies. Since you spoke to him at noon, you must have convinced him to work for you.”
Lukas’s laughed. He looked at me with a false smile, “Impressive. I didn’t expect you to be so clever.”
I offered a retort, “Just average, I know I can’t rival Mr Strakovski.”
As Lukas listened to my sharp words, he felt as though I was a cat, relentlessly scratching at his heart with my claws.
Lukas suddenly rose from his chair, circling the desk to approach me.
My body became stiff.
Lukas stood before me, lowering his head to look at me.
I felt the air around me growing thin, causing me to take a step back reflexively.
His expression darkened before his hand reached out and gently grasped my chin..
I was taken aback, instinctively reaching out to slap Lukas’s hand.
However, as my hand was lifted, it was immediately caught by Lukas.“What? Planning to
hit me?”
Panic intertwined on my face. I frowned as I stammered, “Wh–what are you doing?”
Lukas‘ lips curled. Suddenly, his long arm encircled my waist, pulling me closer into his
embrace.
His sensual lips approached mine.
I even felt his burning breath spraying on my face.
My heart was panicked, my eyes flickered, my hands couldn’t help but clench into fists, and my breath became tense.
