Chapter 136
“What are you doing?” The bedroom was pitch black, but as soon as Malcolm entered,
he turned on the lights and saw a mess on the floor.
Sophia hesitated for a moment, feeling flustered, and forced a smile. “Nothing, just… do
my parents still not know about the news?”
Seeing her avoid the topic, Malcolm didn’t bother to continue dwelling on such trivial
matters. He could still afford a few packs of tissues.
“They probably still don’t know based on their reactions. The older generation isn’t
particularly sensitive to online news.” Malcolm walked over, stepping on the shredded
pieces of tissue paper, and sat down at a distance from Sophia.
It was obvious that he was setting up boundaries between them. She clenched her
teeth so hard that they could be shattered. Sophia was forcefully pinching her thigh to
prevent herself from immediately losing her temper.
She had put so much effort into her makeup, paid out of her own pocket to invite

numerous well–known media outlets to take photos, and luckily managed to persuade
28
Malcolm to accompany her to the concert, all in order to have their loving couple news
extensively reported and let everyone know that she was about to become Mrs. Ford.
Sherry, however, ruined all of her careful planning!
Originally, everything was going according to plan, but for some reason, the focus of
many people shifted to Sherry, speculating about her relationship with the famous.
actor Christopher. After clarifying the situation, now everyone online is praising her
natural beauty. Why was it happening?
She had just gone to a concert in just a few minutes of time, and she effortlessly made
it to the front page headlines, overshadowing all other news. How could her luck be so
good?
Since returning home until now, she had been unable to figure it out, and her
resentment grew deeper and deeper. She closed her eyes and once again told herself
to endure until after they’re married. Small sacrifices were necessary for a greater
plan…
“Malcolm, Sherry looked really beautiful today, don’t you think?”

Malcolm huddled in the corner of the sofa, furrowing his brows while scrolling through
his phone.
On all the major news pages, there were photos of Sherry from her concert. She looked
perfect and beautiful in those pictures.
He turned off his phone and casually tossed it onto the coffee table. “What do you want
to say? Don’t beat around the bush; just say it.”
Sophia stood up and sat next to him. “I don’t mean anything. What I said to you in the
VIP room at the concert today, I meant every word.”
Malcolm’s face looked a little better, but still unpleasant. “Are you okay today? Are you
feeling uncomfortable?”
Sophia shook her head. “I’m fine; you don’t need to worry about me. Malcolm, I heard
my dad mention it casually before. Are you planning to build a shopping mall together?”
“Yes, what’s the matter?”

“Nothing; I just remembered something unintentionally. It seems that Camila’s father
also owns a piece of land next to yours. I heard a few things from others before; it
seems like he also wants to build a shopping center. So, doesn’t that mean there will be
a lot of competition?”
Malcolm suddenly became interested. “Who told you this?”
“It was Ashlyn. She told me today. Camila is working at Morgan Entertainment now.
That woman is brainless; she easily spills everything. Ashlyn and I have been
classmates for many years, and as soon as she heard this news, she quickly told me.”
After listening, Malcolm seemed to be lost in thought. He was aware of the Castillo
family’s ownership of the land. It was already a mystery how the Castillo family
managed to acquire that piece of land.
The geographical conditions of that land were extremely favorable. If a shopping center
were built there, it would definitely make a huge profit. Real estate companies in
Herzoslovakia were all crazy about it!
But the owner of that land was said to be a mysterious foreign boss who sold it to the

Castillo family at half the market price. If the Castillo family really intended to build a
shopping center there, regardless of whether they had the famous David, just the
advantage of the location alone would make it an inevitable defeat for him!
Fortunately, Sophia brought this news to him in advance, giving him time to respond.
His attitude suddenly changed. “Sophia, this news is really important. If it weren’t for
you telling me, the company would have suffered a big loss, and our financial chain
would have been affected. Thank you.”
Sophia smiled harmlessly and said, “It’s my duty. I will help you. Malcolm, Camila’s
father is not an easy person to deal with, so be careful.”

“You don’t need to worry. The Castillo family wanting to compete with me in business is
still too inexperienced.”
“I can rest assured then,” Sophia patted her chest and smiled more brightly. “Malcolm,
there’s actually something else I want to tell you.”
Malcolm nodded. “Go ahead.”

“You want to win back my cousin, but she’s resolute now. Instead, you should start with
the people around her. Camila is her best friend, and if Camila speaks well of you,
Sherry will definitely listen.”
As soon as Malcolm heard this, he understood. “Are you suggesting that I give up on.
developing this piece of land and try to please the Castillo family and Camila?”
“I just think that if Sherry is so important to you, what does a piece of land matter? Don’t
you agree?”
Malcolm fell silent. He wanted both Sherry and to make money, and these two desires
could both exist at the same time. He wanted it all. But if he had to choose one, he
would still choose to put his personal feelings aside. When his business grew and
became powerful enough, he wouldn’t be afraid that Sherry wouldn’t turn back!
However, Sophia’s words just now reminded him that it would be quicker to get Sherry
by starting with the people around her.
He definitely wouldn’t give in to the Castillo family regarding the construction of the shopping center. The only people left around Sherry were her two uncles. Malcolm’s

tonight.”
“Malcolm…” Sophia took a few steps and reached out to grab him as she pleaded, “My
parents will be staying tonight. We can’t let them know that we’re sleeping in separate
rooms before we get married.”
Malcolm pondered for a moment and compromised, “Alright, I’ll come back to sleep
after I finish my work. You don’t have to wait for me. Also, remember to inform them
tomorrow that they should return to their own homes. It’s inconvenient for everyone to
continue staying at the Ford residence.”
Sophia obediently nodded. “Okay, I’ll inform them tomorrow.“”
“Okay,” Malcolm retrieved a bank card from his wallet and extended it to Sophia.
“Sophia, your understanding and thoughtfulness towards me are truly touching. This card has no spending limit. Feel free to purchase whatever you desire; consider it my
way of expressing gratitude to you.”
