Chapter 28

Seeing Seraphina West, Julian Jennings reluctantly released Sonya's arm. Sonya rubbed her wrist and said to Seraphina West, "Keep your fiancé under control. Don't let him bother me again." "Sonya!" Julian Jennings gritted his teeth. Ignoring him, Sonya entered her house and slammed the door.

"Sonya, Julian and I are going on a short trip tomorrow-a weekend getaway," Seraphina West said with a slight smile.

"So?" Why was she telling her this?

"You're my personal doctor, so you're coming with us."

Before Sonya could respond, Julian Jennings frowned.

"Seraphina, I can go with you. Don't bring her."

"But my lower abdomen has been feeling uncomfortable these past couple of days. I'll feel better with Sonya."

Julian Jennings nodded readily."Okay, bring her."

"No," Sonya said, amused."You two just decided this. Did I agree?"

Julian Jennings narrowed his eyes. "You have to agree."

"Why?"

"Because I can turn your parents' house into rubble anytime I want!"

Julian Jennings!"

Sonya clenched her fists. He kept threatening her with her parents' house, and the most regretful thing was that *she had given him the house!

Taking a deep breath, she smiled coldly. "Fine, I'll go. As long as you two don't mind the third wheel."

Lily Lane returned very late. She'd had a drink at Jake Parker's bar and burst into tears upon entering Sonya's home.

"What's wrong?"

Lily Lane sobbed uncontrollably.

After a while, she calmed down.

"I... I feel so stupid..."

Sonya led her to the dining area and poured her a cup of hot water.

After a few sips, Lily Lane wiped her tears."JoyPlus signed me."

"Isn't that great?"

"But they want me to give up the role I got from Director Davis to a newbie they're pushing." "What?! Why?"
