Chapter 735

Sophie stood up, her departure unhindered. Everyone had just witnessed Odie defend Sophie’s honor by having Ms. Leticia removed, so no one dared to stop her.

As Sophie made her way to the restroom, she looked around cautiously. Suddenly, a pair of hands emerged from the shadows, pulling her into a secluded hallway.

Before Sophie could scream, a hand covered her mouth.

Taken aback, Sophie recognized the man from the engagement party she’d attended. His face was hidden behind a silver mask, and his body was clad in a sleek black suit.

“Stay still,” the man’s voice was husky.

“This isn’t the way to the restroom,” Sophie frowned, asking, “Who are you?”

“This place isn’t for you. Go back to where you came from,” the man’s voice was disguised, likely altered by a voice changer.

Sophie glanced at the hand gripping her arm, then swiftly pulled away, saying coolly, “We don’t know each other, do we?”

“Yes, we do.”
