Chapter 49

Sophie had always seemed effortlessly perfect.

Thinking this, Nichole’s hands moved uncontrollably on she suddenly swung open the classroom door.

The action caught everyone’s attention. Adler glanced over, feeling that the person at the door lookedfarmiliar, but Nichole had already recognized Adler as the man who had helped Sophie at the charityauction.

“Excuse me, which class are you looking for?” Adler asked, puzzlednovelbin

Sophie also noticed Nichole at the door,

Startled by her own impulsiveness, Nichole stammered, “I’m sorry, I think I’m in the wrong class. Thenshe closed the door.

The moment the door shut, Nichole’s heart pounded wildly.

The instructor who was standing at the front hadn’t recognized her. Yet she knew he was the CEO ofTredgold Corporation,

They had met before, but Adler didn’t remember her. Did she really mean so little in the eyes of suchwealthy people?

The classroom burst into laughter at a joke Adler had just made, but to Nichole, it sounded like theywere laughing at her. Embarrassed and ashamed. Nichole hurried away.

Inside the classroom, Sophie didn’t think Nichole had entered by mistake, but her mind was elsewhere.

Somehow, even though she had been reborn, her life’s path seemed already to be veering off course.

“Sophie” After a moment, Adler suddenly called out from the podium.

Sophie snapped back to reality and asked, “Yes?”

“Class is over What do you think?” Adler replied.

Sophie looked around and realized the room was empty. “See you, Mr. Adler, Sophie said as she stoodup.

Adler stopped her and handed her a box of pills from his pocket, “This medicine works better than theone in the drawer.”

“For me?”

“James arranged for your leave, and I happened to bring these. Aren’t you sick? You should take themright away”

Adler was a terrible liar, and Sophie could see right through him. She knew instinctively that the pillswere from Colby.

Thanks to Colby for me.”

Sophie took the medicine and just as she walked out of the classroom, Adler suddenly realized.

Thank Colby? Ah?

Adler scratched his head, “Man, am I really that bad at acting?”

As dusk fell, Sophie exited the gates of Eastwood College. Her classmate Nina, who was slightly olderand clearly from a well–off family, suddenly tapped Sophie on the shoulder, “Hey!”

Sophie was taken aback, “What’s up?”

“You’re Sophie, right? Do you want to hang out tonight?”

Sophie was about to decline when she spotted a black convertible nearby. She had seen that carbefore.

“Sure, where are we going?”

Sophie was curious to see what this calculated invitation was all about.

“Let’s go, I take you there.”
