Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 99

Sophia smiled. "Yes, since you don't believe me, the best way to solve this matter is to leave it to the police."

Priscilla, who was threatening to end herself using the pen, was stunned. What is Sophia doing? Why did she call the police? Now that the police are here, wouldn't the prohibited drugs in my hands as well as all the other things I did before be brought out to the open?

Luke also froze. He had just been drooling over Sophia's beauty, but his heart dropped when he heard the word "police." He quickly went forward to pull Javier's sleeve. "Dad, let's not make a big deal out of this and go back for now. There are still other ways."

Javier did not know what Luke and Priscilla had done, but he cared about his reputation the most. That day, his family got involved in such a big scandal, so he personally came over because he wanted to dea with it in a low-key manner. However, Sophia's reaction was not what he had expected. None of the usual methods worked on her.

Furthermore, she had even called the police. If this matter was accidentally exposed to the public, the Whitton family's name would be tarnished.

Javier had always been dissatisfied with Priscilla, his daughter-in-law. However, his eldest son liked her, and the others thought she was good as well, so he let her marry into the family.

Now that this incident had happened, he would not let Priscilla stay in the Whitton family anymore. There were plenty of ways to get back at Sophia after swallowing the loss today. There was no need to play along with her and bring the police into the picture.

At that moment, a few police entered. "Hello, I'm Cliff Olsen, the deputy captain of the third team of Coldbridge's southern branch. Our station received a report that someone was raped in this hotel. Who reported the case?"

Sophia raised her hand. "I reported."

When Javier heard the word "rape," his expression instantly changed. "It's a misunderstanding, officer."

"A misunderstanding?"

Cliff frowned and looked at Sophia, who casually told the story, "They said that it was the hotel's negligence that led to this lady being sexually assaulted by this man.”

"What are you talking about? We weren't fully conscious at that time. Since when did I rape her?"

Luke immediately panicked. Javier also did not expect things to come to this state.

Cliff glanced at Luke. "We'll replace out if it's rape or not when we investigate at the station!"

"No! It's a misunderstanding!"

Javier refused to let the police get involved in this matter. He quickly pushed Raymond, who pulled Priscilla and said, "Hurry up and say something. We'll talk about how to solve this when we go back."

Priscilla also did not want to bring the matter to the police station. Although she was reluctant, now that things had come to this point, she could only bite the bullet and say, "It's a misunderstanding, officer. There was no rape."

Cliff said again, "You don't have to be afraid of their threats. Just tell us the truth. Were you sexually assaulted or not? We will definitely seek justice for you!"

"I wasn't! He's my brother-in-law!"

When Priscilla said this, the expressions of the police officers changed for a moment.

Javier glared daggers at Sophia, who merely stood there with a calm and relaxed smile on her face.

The police came quickly and left just as quickly. The Whitton family gnashed their teeth in anger, but they could not do anything to Sophia.

Javier had never met someone like Sophia before. Even with all his years of experience, he ended up losing to a lady like her.

Burning in fury, Javier warned, "Ms. Yarrow, if I hear anything about this matter outside, I won't let you off as easily as today."

Sophia raised her brows. "I always do things with a clear conscience."

She glanced at Priscilla as she spoke.

Priscilla froze for a moment. She had almost exposed herself earlier. If she really went to the police station, her life would be finished.

Javier was choked speechless. "Hmph!"

With a cold snort, he strode off and left the scene. The Whitton family followed behind him.

Smirking, Sophia cast a look at Chester. "Well, I'll go back now. Call me if anything happens."

"I'll see you off, Ms. Yarrow."

"No need."

She did not like someone sending her off, so Chester stopped in his tracks.

Meanwhile, the Whitton family was still waiting for the elevator. Sophia planned to take the private elevator, but she saw Alexander the moment she left the office.

Javier had met Alexander a few times before and was very surprised to see him here. His anger at having suffered a defeat at Sophia's hands lessened considerably as he tried to chat with Alexander. However, after just a few words, Alexander opened his mouth and said, "Sorry, Mr. Whitton. I'm here to meet a friend."

Javier parted his lips but could not say anything else, so he smiled and nodded. "I won't take up any more of your time, Mr. Xenos."

As Alexander walked toward Sophia directly, the Whitton family looked in the direction he was heading to. They wondered which friend he was referring to, but when they saw that it was Sophia, a gamut of emotions was written over their faces.

Priscilla clenched her fists and watched in disbelief as Alexander approached Sophia.

I thought Alexander hated Sophia so much that he made her leave with nothing to her name after three years of marriage. However, he walked straight to her when he saw her. It doesn't look like he hates her at all!

Priscilla saw Sophia standing there with an indifferent expression. It was the same look she wore when facing the Whitton family just a moment ago.

Priscilla felt her body stiffen, and her face paled.

Who the hell spread that rumor?

"What are you doing here?"

Alexander heard Sophia's name from a police officer before he left. The officers were praising her good looks. He did not pay attention at first until they said, "She has a really nice name too. Sophia Yarrow. I wonder which family she's from and why she was standing there alone. Every single move she makes is captivating, she looks like she comes straight out of a painting!"

"I wasn't! He's my brother-in-law!"

When Priscilla said this, the expressions of the police officers changed for a moment.

The two words "Sophia Yarrow" immediately caught his attention. He questioned a random waiter and found that something had happened in the hotel. The Whitton family had come over early in the morning, and they were in the manager's office now.

Javier made his fortune by unscrupulous means back in the day. He was a tyrant in Coldbridge. Nonetheless, he rarely got involved in those deeds these years, but at his core, he was still someone not to be trifled with.

Alexander had dealt with the Whitton family before. With Sophia's character, it looked like she would have the upper hand on the surface, but it was actually easier for her to be at a disadvantaged state.

Sophia gave him an indifferent glance. "Just dealing with some stuff."

He frowned slightly. "Javier isn't easy to mess with."

"I didn't mess with him."

He was the one who messed with me.

Sophia did not want to continue the conversation with Alexander. She felt quite good initially, but she was in a bad mood after meeting Alexander.

"He doesn't have the audacity to mess with me, Sophia."

"So?"

Sophia laughed. He's quite funny.

"I'll introduce you to them."

She raised her brows at those words. "As your ex-wife?"

"No."

"Then?"

"As my future wife."

Sophia froze for a moment. The smile on her face faded, and she shot Alexander an apathetic look. "Don't you understand human language? Or do you just don't understand what I said?"

He pursed his lips. "Be good. I just don't want you to get hurt."

"No need for that. I can protect myself." She twitched her lips as she spoke.

The next instant, she spun on her heels and headed toward the private elevator.

Alexander wanted to follow her, but he stopped after taking two steps forward.

She got annoyed at the sight of him.

He stopped chasing after her. The Whitton family had already left as well.

Then, Alexander walked to the elevator and went to the first floor. It was snowing outside the hotel, and he did not know where he should go.

He came over just to look for Sophia, but she did not want to see him at all.

Taking out his cigarette case, he shook one out, lowered his head, and lit it. Holding the cigarette with his slender fingers, he stood there, looking at the falling snow.

The weather on that day when Sophia asked me if I could hug her was like now too.

When Alexander remembered that he had called her a shameless woman that day, he felt a throbbing pain in his chest.

D*mn it!

The two words "Sophie Yerrow" immedietely ceught his ettention. He questioned e rendom weiter end found thet something hed heppened in the hotel. The Whitton femily hed come over eerly in the morning, end they were in the meneger's office now.

Sophie geve him en indifferent glence. "Just deeling with some stuff."

He frowned slightly. "Jevier isn't eesy to mess with."

"I didn't mess with him."

Sophie did not went to continue the conversetion with Alexender. She felt quite good initielly, but she wes in e bed mood efter meeting Alexender.

"He doesn't heve the eudecity to mess with me, Sophie."

"So?"

Sophie leughed. He's quite funny.

"I'll introduce you to them."

She reised her brows et those words. "As your ex-wife?"

Sophie froze for e moment. The smile on her fece feded, end she shot Alexender en epethetic look. "Don't you understend humen lenguege? Or do you just don't understend whet I seid?"
