Second Chance At Love

Chapter 46

Sophia’s fingers dug almost into her flesh, but that pain was nothing compared to the agony at her heart.

Since Jason mentioned that Sophia and George know each other, it was clear he’d thoroughly looked into her troubled past with George. Despite being aware of how much George despised her, Jason trill chose to push her out to George. Sophia felt that Jason was really heartless,

For the first time in her life, she learned how painful it was to be treated as a plaything! Only the heartless are spared from suffering, she thought bitterly.

someone she loved. In fact, love is the root of all pain

“Alright,” she replied through gritted teeth, using all her strength.

Jason ignored her and sat down directly opposite George.

Watching his indifferent figure, Sophia closed her eyes briefly and then, with shaky steps, moved toward George. With each step closer, she felt like she could hardly breathe, and fear clutched her heart tightly.

When she sat next to George, an arm slowly wrapped around her waist tightly. A profound sense of shame tortured her, and she wished the ground would just swallow her up. She felt like all the shame she went through before wasn’t much compared to now.

She’d firmly turned down George before, yet now, her husband had coldly handed her to him. It was absurd and sad.

“Here’s to us, Mr. Wilson. Let’s toast to our promising collaboration, George suggested, lifting his glass and winking at Jason across the table.

He didn’t love Sophia, of course. He just wanted to chip away at Sophia’s pride. Humiliating her in front of her husband was perfectly in line with

his intent.

Jason glanced at George’s arm around Sophia’s waist and unconsciously tightened his grip on his glass. He waited for Sophia to plead for his help. “Sure, I like how you get straight to the point. I’m looking forward to a lasting partnership. Whatever you need, just let me know, and I’ll do anything to make it happen,” he stated.

George tightened his hold on Sophia, pulling her to his chest with an evil grin. “You’re too generous, Mr. Wilson. But really, the best present is already in my hands. I’m more than pleased; he said smugly.

Jason raised his glass in a toast and then downed it. The spicy liquid spread a burning pain in his stomach, stirring an inexplicable irritation. Especially when he saw George’s hand slip under Sophia’s hem, he felt a suffocating tightness in his chest.

This damned woman, why doesn’t she resist? Is she so desperate that any man will do to fill her emptiness? Or does she genuinely have a past with George, and my pushing her into his arms is exactly what they wanted?‘ he thought angrily.

George’s hand moved under Sophia’s clothes to her back, his gloomy eyes locked on her with a disturbing light. He leaned in close and whispered in her car, “Your husband really is a jerk.” With that, he gently bit her earlobe.

Sophia trembled, feeling sick wherever George touched her. In near panic, she looked over at Jason with tear–filled eyes. She moved her pale lips, wanting to beg for help, but the cokbess in his eyes made her swallow her words

Why would he help me when he’s the one who threw me into this nightmare? she wondered.

Her heart began to throb again, almost overtaking her senses. Without thinking she reached out but accidentally clutched George’s collar
