Chapter 6: The Woman Delivered to the Doorstep

"Who? Who is it? Come out, I promise I won't kill you!" Molly stood up and shouted around.

Sophia crossed her arms, satisfyingly watching Molly's embarrassed state.

"It was you!" Seeing Sophia's mocking expression, she was certain.

Sophia blinked and shrugged.

"Don't think you can deny it. There are only three of us here, and your mother is a wise person; she wouldn't dare do such a thing to my car..."

Such a thing! What kind of thing? It's not like she, Sophia, did anything to her car.

Sophia got goosebumps and quickly interrupted: "Which ear of yours heard me say I didn't puncture your car?"

What...what?

Molly's eyes widened, taking a while before she responded. "Did you... really puncture it?"

Sophia calmly nodded.

"Why would you puncture my car—" Molly let out a roar.

Sophia covered her ears, slightly frowning. After letting her finish, she patiently explained, "Because you were too noisy, just finding you something to do."

"You... you..." Molly struggled to articulate a response.

Sophia amusingly signaled for her to hurry and find someone to repair the car.

With this idiot's love for her red Rolls-Royce, Sophia didn't believe she wouldn't hurry to find someone to fix it, crying and screaming. This way, she could have some peace, Sophia thought.

But, in reality, she was wrong.

"How exactly did you puncture Little Red's tire!" Molly finally came up with a response, "Little Red's tires are worth hundreds of thousands each. Even the hardest steel needle can't puncture it. You were right beside me just now, how did you manage to puncture Little Red's tire through the air, and even broke through it, ruining the automatic inflation device, it's practically magic, tell me, tell me…" Molly looked up to Sophia, babbling admiringly.

The tone suddenly shifted, turning into a comical style. Sophia, the top Interpol officer, felt really at a loss now.

Fiona, watching this scene unfold, was dumbfounded.

Leo, standing in front of the ground-floor windows of the main house, watching the scene at the gate from afar, was getting impatient. Twenty minutes had passed, and Molly hadn't dismissed the fiancée grandfather chose for him yet, her efficiency had gone down.

Descending the stairs, stepping out of the main house, and not yet reaching the gate, he saw Molly grabbing a woman's hand, speaking excitedly and with admiration, as if the woman facing away from him was a goddess.

This woman was the fiancée his grandfather had chosen for him. Interesting, she managed to make Molly, who always held her head high, talk nonstop with an admiring face.

"Molly!"

"Leo, how come you're out here?" Molly, seeing Leo, immediately abandoned Sophia and ran towards him.

Leo raised an eyebrow, curling the corner of his mouth, "Miss Molly actually didn't manage to dismiss the woman sent to our doorstep within five minutes, of course, I had to come and see. If anything happened to you, Ayu that kid would definitely fight with me."

Molly immediately pouted, "Hey, I like you, not Oscar, that stinky boy. How many times do I have to tell you before you remember?"

The two chatted and laughed comfortably, clearly having a good relationship.

Sophia stared at the man opposite her, utterly astonished.

Was he the man she was about to accompany? How could it be him, the man who, on the luxury cruise casino that day, won the gold bricks from her with nearly mythical gambling skills?

No wonder she and her senior brother couldn't find any information on him these past few days, who could have imagined he was the president of the Leo Corporation.

It was rumored that the Leo Corporation was only one of the wealthy groups in City B, but since this new president took over, the Leo Corporation soared in quality, with industries all over the world, making it impossible for anyone to estimate the president's wealth; it probably couldn't be quantified with numbers.

The outside world only knew his name as Leo, but as for what he looked like, most of the employees of the Leo Corporation didn't know, let alone outsiders.

However, three years ago, this President Leo made a move that baffled the world yet made waves - he had the Leo family withdraw from public view. Within a month, hundreds of public companies under the Leo Corporation were sold off, nearly causing an economic crisis.

Some said the new President Leo had lost his mind, missing out on making good money, and destroying the efforts brought by several generations of the Leo family; others said the new President Leo was far-sighted, understanding that reaching a peak would be followed by decline, and overflowing waters spill over, choosing to have the Leo Corporation withdraw was recognizing this truth; there were also whispers that the new President Leo had stepped onto a dark path, withdrawing the Leo Corporation to pool funds for developing mysterious forces.

If it were said that the Leo family had taken a dark path, Sophia wouldn't have believed it before. But now, she had her doubts.

After all, the secrets of that gold brick were too important, yet it was snatched away by him.

It seemed, even just for that box of gold bricks, to find out whether he was truly a villain or not, she had to enter the Leo family's doors.

"Sophia, he's the president of Leo, go on, tell him you're his fiancée," Fiona urged.

"Heh, fiancée? Didn't you hear him just call me the woman delivered to the doorstep?" Sophia coolly replied.
