The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 135 Chapter 135

Inside the cramped apartment, Sophia stepped out of her bedroom and practically stumbled over her parents and Megan, all sprawled like dead weights on the

couch.

Then Marco slunk out of the kitchen, clutching a bottle of mineral water like he'd just stolen it.

He froze the instant he saw Sophia-like he was staring at an unwelcome ghost. The bottle slipped from his grip and fell on the floor, water splashing everywhere. “S–Sophia... how can you be here?" he gasped, sounding as if he right keel over at any moment. Panic churned in his gut.

Maybe the fool had kept quiet.

Sophia gave him a questioning look. "You? Why on earth would Harlan be talking about you? Is there some kind of feud going on?"

"No!" he snapped too quickly. Then he tried to smooth it over.
