Chapter 17

After Sophie finished speaking, she went in for an embrace. I was sure no man could refuse a womanwho was willing to do this much. What was more, the woman was a popular and beautiful celebrity likeher; there was a long line of suitors dying just to catch a glimpse of her face.

I bet he, too, would succumb to her. Yet, the next moment, he did the most unexpected thing. Hepushed her away without any mercy. To top it off, his face was as detached and unfeeling as ever.

“Don't make me repeat the third time. We are over.”

Heartless creature! He did not even hesitate the least. And what's with that high and mighty tone? I bethe's just a jerk.

I was cursing him inwardly with all my might.

What was I expecting? Even Justin, a mere department manager, was already two-timing me, let alonea capable and rich guy like Michael. It was probably not an exaggeration to assume that there werewomen flocking up to him every day.

“How could you be so heartless? We've already been together for so long. At the very least, I deservean explanation, don't I?”

Sophie started sobbing uncontrollably. Even I felt sorry for her, and I was sure that Michael did as well.

“Do you really need me to spell it out for you? The fact that I didn't was to let you keep your last shredof dignity.”

“I don't understand. What do you mean by that?” A deep frown found its way across her beautiful face.

While remaining silent, Michael fished out a few photographs from his pocket and threw them on theground. Despite being too far away to decipher the photos, his next words were enough for me toguess what they were.

“How do you explain all this evidence of you entering the hotel with another man? I told you from thebeginning that my woman can only be mine alone. I won't tolerate cheating.”

Upon hearing that, I finally understood why he was so heartless. It turned out that Sophie was cheatingbehind his back all along. But who would have guessed behind that pure and innocent image sheportrayed was such a person. One should never judge a book by its cover, especially in the shadyentertainment industry.

Immediately, Sophie got flustered and grabbed his hands desperately. “Michael, that was my fault. Itwas just a moment's folly. I will never do anything like that again! Please forgive me this time around!”

However, he brushed off her hands, a clear sign he had no intentions of forgiving her.

“Enough! Let's end this once and for all. We're no longer in a relationship. If you continue to pester me,I won't mind sending these photographs to the media.”
