Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 135

Colin held Sophia in his arms, stroking her long hair with his hand, "With my wife, enjoying ourselves."

"Oh! Am I disturbing you?" Wendy asked in a joyful tone.

Colin smiled, "Yes, you are, mother."

Sitting next to him, Sophia could hear every word. When she heard Colin's reply, she pinched him on his waist.

But Wendy didn't get angry. She chuckled, "Then I will leave you be. Greet Sophia for me."

"Sure. Goodbye, mother."

Then Wendy hung up.

Sophia straightened up, and patted Colin on his head, "How can you talk to mother like that?"

"I certainly will make a long and arduous apology to her when you are not around." Colin pulled Sophia back into his arms and let her lean against his shoulder.

Sophia was impressed by his effrontery. They then started watching the movie.

Sophia felt a little sleepy at the start. But as the story became more interesting, her need to sleep dissipated. Gazing at the television, she asked Colin, "How long will you stay in Z Country?"

"About two months." Sophia didn't expect that answer.

Two months would soon pass, and they would reunite again. She happily asked, "Will you have to stay in D City and Green Cold Country, too?" As far as she knew, he was taking charge of those two branches as well.

"I will stay in D City for half a month. But I don't have to visit Green Cold Country. The acting CEO there is doing a great job. I will visit when the SL Group sends me."

Sophia bit her lips, but couldn't say a word.

She pretended that she was still watching the movie, and lay her head on his thighs.

Colin noticed Sophia's unease.

She must have something to tell him, but she dared not. Pretending that he hadn't noticed a thing, Colin gazed at the screen.

Sophia was restless.

In less than two minutes, she turned to him again. Before she spoke, she suddenly noticed that her face was buried in his crotch.

She was so embarrassed. Sophia quickly moved her head back, but it was too late. Colin pulled her up, and kissed her.

"What's on your mind?" His voice was slightly hoarse, for he was trying to to resist the urge of having her on the sofa.

Hearing his question, Sophia straightened her clothes, sat on his laps, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Colin's eyes darkened with desire. He held onto her tightly.

"I want to know who the culprit is. Could you tell me?" Biting her lower lip, Sophia waited for his answer.

Colin remained quiet for a while. Then he caressed Sophia's cheeks with the thumb of his right hand, and sighed, "Sophia, those perpetrators are beyond your reach. You won't be able to get to them."

"I already know that. I just want to know their names. And I promise that I won't do anything reckless again behind your back. Could you tell me who they are?"

Colin shook his head, "I can't."

How could she possibly do nothing after knowing who murdered her mother?

Discomfited, Sophia got off him, stepped into her slippers, and walked into the bedroom.

Knowing that she was vexed, Colin let out a sigh. He switched off the TV, and followed her into the bedroom, too.

Inside the room, Sophia was lying on his bed. When she heard the bedroom door open, she promptly sat up. "Let's sleep!" She said.

Her voice sounded calm, without a single sliver of furor in it. Colin studied her face with doubt. Wasn't she angry?

Sophia was angry, actually. But when she thought of how nice Colin had been to her, her anger dissipated. How could she possibly be angry at him?

Looking at Sophia's expressionless face, Colin knew she was restraining her anger. He lay down on the bed and pulled her into his arms, "But I can tell you... Hugh had nothing to do with it."

Although Hugh was his competitor in love, he was also his brother.

Sophia was a little confused. Of course she knew it had nothing to do with Hugh. How could he harm her family?

Colin said no more. Sophia suddenly realized, 'Was the murderer related to Hugh?'

She sat up, and looked into Colin's eyes, "Was... Jonas Pei... involved?"

Colin didn't deny. As her heart began to race, Sophia asked in a trembling voice, "Why... How could it be?"

Why would Jonas murder her mother?

In Sophia's memories, Jonas was a serious man, with a natural air of authority in his demeanor. He was never fond of Sophia and always despised her.

"Because the Qiao Clan was keeping a secret, that they could use to destroy the Pei's. The secret had not only brought the Qiao Clan to their doom, but also affected the Lo Family." Joyce, Sophia's mother, was from the Qiao Clan.

As all her elders were dead, she was the only living member of the clan. And she somehow dragged her husband and children into trouble.

Colin already had an inkling as to what the secret was, though he wasn't certain yet.

If it was what he thought, Sophia's revenge would be effortless.

Sophia suddenly remembered the man she saw in A Country, who was looking for something in her parents house.

What was he looking for? Would her father know what it was?

Colin took hold of Sophia's trembling hands.

"Sophia, from now on, you have to be very careful. If they found out that you knew these things, you would be in danger too. You mustn't do anything again without my instruction." Since Jonas and Gregary dared to do what they did to Julia and Jay Lo, they wouldn't hesitate to harm Sophia.

Sophia nodded, "Sure..."

She knew that she had to be careful.

"I can tell you another person..." Covering his mouth with her hand, Sophia quickly stopped Colin from saying more.

Colin shot her a questioning look.

"I'm afraid... The other one will be more powerful... Don't tell me now. I am not ready yet." Her enemies were more powerful than she thought.

Colin pulled her into his arms. He pressed his lips on her forehead, "Sophia, you still have me."

"Okay..."

Actually, Colin intended to stop SL's cooperation with the Lien's and Pei's.

But changed his mind. For Sophia's sake, he would resume his cooperation with these two companies, and destroy them from the inside.

"When you go back, you have to behave like you have no knowledge of the things I've told you, especially when you are in front of Jonas Pei. I know you might not bump into him, but just in case you do..." Colin emphasized.

"I will." Sophia nodded again.

She couldn't help imagining how Aunt Hermosa would feel when she finds out that her husband killed someone.

And Hugh, what would would he think of his father?

Sophia fought back the tears welling up in her eyes.

"Stay away from Payne Tai and Dorothy Lien, and anyone who has some relation with the Lien Clan. You have to protect yourself when I am not around." Colin patiently added.

Sophia didn't think much. She thought Colin was telling her to stay away from the Lien Clan because of Payne and Dorothy.
