“Matilda! If you don’t clarify this, get out of the Walton family. From now on, I won’t provide you with any resources,” said Hurley, his voice filled with ruthlessness, definitely not joking.
Matilda’s chest was filled with hatred. Why did Hurley change so much when it came to Sophie? He was bending over backward for Sophie in every way possible!
Why is he protecting Sophie so fiercely? What’s so good about Sophie anyway!
And now, just for Sophie, Hurley actually wants to drive her away!
She has always been someone who can adapt to circumstances, otherwise she wouldn’t have reached this point today.
She nodded, crying even harder, “Don’t drive me away. I apologize, isn’t my apology enough?”
“I… I…” Matilda clutched her chest, feeling like she might collapse any moment.
“Matilda?” Hurley thought Matilda’s illness was acting up again; she had always had poor health.
“Call a doctor!” He instructed the butler urgently.
“Wait.” Sophie intervened, “I can handle this minor ailment myself. There’s no need to trouble the doctor.”
Matilda’s eyes still showed subtle movement, coupled with her feigned rapid breathing just a moment ago. It all seemed very artificial. Someone genuinely about to faint wouldn’t behave like this at all.
Hurley remembered how Sophie had bandaged him up last time. Could it be that Sophie had medical skills?
Sophie went straight to the nearby kitchen. Soon after, she emerged from the kitchen holding a knife.
Hurley watched her actions. Although he didn’t know what Sophie was doing, he didn’t intervene either.
However… It should be Sophie’s first time here, so why does she seem so familiar with this place?
And how did she know that the kitchen was over there?
When she walked over just now, Sophie didn’t hesitate at all, as if it wasn’t her first time there.
Hurley harbored doubts in his mind. He saw Sophie grasp Matilda’s chin, and in the next moment, with a sharp “smack,” she fiercely struck the other side of Matilda’s face.
Sophie wasn’t gentle at all. Now both sides of Matilda’s face were symmetrical; tomorrow, Matilda’s face might swell up like a pig’s head.
Matilda was in pain, wanting to grimace, but now that she was pretending to be unconscious, trying to avoid apologizing and explaining, it was unlikely she would easily regain consciousness.

The last time Hurley pressured her, she pretended to faint. Every time she wanted to see Hurley, she would pretend to faint, and it worked every time.
But this time, she miscalculated!
While Sophie was hitting her, she was also spouting nonsense, “This is to awaken the patient’s nerve consciousness through pain. President Hurley’s knife looks quite sharp. With a face as thick as a city wall, it should be able to pierce through. I’ll make two cuts on her face, and consider tonight’s events settled. President Hurley, do you object?”
Matilda was shocked. Sophie was indeed a venomous woman; she was already fainting, yet Sophie still intended to
scar her face!
Sophie must be jealous of her beauty, and if her face was ruined, there would be no hope of marrying Hurley.
All Matilda could plead for now was Hurley. He surely wouldn’t agree to what Sophie was about to do!
Between her and Hurley, even if there was no love, there was still affection.
Seeing Hurley remaining silent, Sophie continued, “President Hurley, are you hesitating?”
“This is her fault. If this can make Miss Sophie feel better, then Miss Sophie, please proceed,” Hurley’s voice was cold and ruthless.
Trouble you brought upon yourself had to be resolved by yourself.
He had already

been so harsh on his own women?” Sophie smiled as she looked at him.
However, that smile carried a kind of biting mockery.
Initially, Hurley had been just as harsh towards her. Those eyes were filled with despair, piercing straight into Hurley’s heart.
Sophie’s eyes really resembled those of a little fool.
