Chapter 171 What’s She Afraid Of?
Sofia Schneider burst into a happy laugh, a sly glint in her eyes.
She wasn’t usually unreasonable or troublesome and never thought she’d use such tricks.
But hey, it worked really well.
Sofia smiled sweetly at Nathaniel Hart and said, “I love patients who are obedient and cooperative.”
Nathaniel felt helpless; today’s negotiation was a bust.
But he got the hint.
If he could carry Sofia like a princess and she didn’t rush to check on him but played mind games to make him compromise, he knew exactly where the boundaries were.
This could be useful; he could use this to do things he usually couldn’t.
Sofia kept her eyes on Nathaniel and noticed the calculation in his gaze.
She stood up and said, “I’m tired, I’m going to rest.”
With that, Sofia grabbed her clothes and toiletries and headed to the bathroom.
Nathaniel looked at the closed door and finally chuckled helplessly.
But soon, his smile faded.
He knew exactly what happened today at the Hart family.
Even though Benson Schneider didn’t gain any advantage, it didn’t mean he would let him
-off.
Bullying his girl? Schneider family, they’re done for.
While Sofia was showering, Nathaniel went to the study.
Kyler Johnston stood there, completely stunned even though he knew Nathaniel had

recovered.
“Did you understand what I said?” Nathaniel looked at Kyler, his tone icy.
Kyler, scared, coughed and swallowed hard, saying, “… Mr. Hart, I understood.”
Nathaniel frowned, his gaze turning colder.
What’s up with Kyler? He’s never been this off before.

Realizing his mistake, Kyler quickly said, “Mr. Hart, I understood. I’ll get right on it.”
Bankrupting the Schneider group overnight was no small task; he had to be very careful and make no mistakes.
Nathaniel was silent for a long while before saying, “Kyler, are you facing some difficulties?”
He knew Kyler’s background; abandoned at a church as a baby, raised there, and later, accidentally joining his forces and becoming his most trusted assistant after much hardship.
There weren’t many things that could unsettle Kyler; either his biological parents had found him, or he got dumped by a girlfriend.
However, Kyler immediately shook his head vigorously, saying, “No, Mr. Hart, I’m fine.”
“Then what’s with you? Don’t want the job anymore?” Nathaniel said.
It wasn’t easy to reach his position, the hardships behind it were unimaginable.
Kyler shook his head even harder, saying, “Mr. Hart, it’s just… it’s amazing you recovered so quickly.”
Nathaniel felt exasperated, momentarily unsure how to handle Kyler.
He said, “What, do you want to experience paralysis to feel my miraculous recovery?”
Kyler shook his head again and quickly said, “Mr. Hart, I’ll get to work.”
With that, he dashed out.

Chapter 17 What’s the Albalt
Yeah, right. When Mr. Hart got injured, the Hart family spared no expense finding the best doctors to achieve this medical miracle.
As for Kyler, he was just an orphan. He needs to save money to get married, how could he afford to spend it all on doctors?
Refocusing, Kyler started working.
Mr. Hart was serious this time, giving only one night to bankrupt the Schneider family
Kyler knew the Schneider family treated Sofia poorly but didn’t expect Mr. Hart to be so protective, wiping out such a big family just to Vent Sofia’s anger.
He was more determined than ever to stick closely to Sofia.
Tonight, Sofia was particularly relaxed.
After her bath, she snuggled into bed, clearly signaling she was tired and didn’t want to be disturbed.
When Nathaniel came back from his shower in the guest bathroom, he saw Sofia already lying down.
He almost laughed out loud.
What’s she afraid of?
He had already agreed to continue playing the part of a frail patient for her, what could he possibly do to her with this weak body?
But, despite his promise, Nathaniel didn’t miss the chance to tease her.
He got into bed, but instead of lying in his usual spot, he leaned against the headboard, gazing down at Sofia.
He said, “Sofia, coming to bed so early, are you inviting me?”
Hearing this, Sofia choked on her saliva.
She coughed violently, her face turning red.
Nathaniel pulled her up, gently patting her back, and said, “Although I’m happy you’re so eager to share the bed with me, I did promise to behave. Unless, of course, Sofia, you lift

the ban, I promise not to disappoint you.”
Sofia couldn’t bear to listen to Nathaniel’s nonsense anymore.

Once she recovered from choking, she glared at Nathaniel and said, “Don’t push it. If your
keep talking nonsense, I don’t mind showing you my fists.”
With that, Sofia made a fist and waved it in front of Nathaniel’s face.
Hmph, this jerk wants to experience a beating?
She didn’t mind crippling him and then personally performing the surgery.
