Chapter 565 Dote on His Wife
When Mr. Stark thought he would fail to save his family, a group of unidentified men suddenly appeared
and rescued him.
Looking at them, Mr. Stark felt uneasy.
"Who are you? What the heck do you want?"
Sophia received the news that another group of men had taken Mr. Stark away.
She never expected to be pitted against Jessica by someone else, wondering what was going on and
who the manipulator was.
Right on cue, Mr. Johns called her. "Ms. Lawson, I saw Mr. Stark. He has been taken away by the men
sent by the King of the Underworld."
'The King of the Underworld?'
Sophia didn't expect him to meddle.
"Ms. Lawson, I'm sure we haven't done anything to offend the King of the Underworld before. Do you
know why it happened?"
"Don't worry. He won't do anything to Mr. Stark. The King of the Underworld aims for me."
Mr. Johns stopped asking questions. As an old man, he knew Sophia was charming, so he guessed the
King of the Underworld might have a crush on her.
It wasn't something he could take care of, though. "OK. I'll go back to work," he said.
Sophia hung up the phone. She didn't expect the King of the Underworld to be involved, feeling
annoyed.
Before she called her assistant to contact the King of the Underworld, a man suddenly walked to her
and said, "Excuse me, Ms. Lawson. We are working for the King of the Underworld. He wants to see
you."
Sophia had to sit in the car as Mr. Stark was in his hands.
The man said he couldn't show her the direction, so he must cover her eyes with an eye mask.
After her last meeting with the King of the Underworld, though he gave her a bad impression, he had
never harmed her.
Besides, she had some fighting skills.
Thus, she wasn't afraid of meeting him again.
"OK. No problem."
Sophia sat in the car calmly.
The men working for the King of the Underworld looked at her in surprise. After all, she was about to
meet the King of the Underworld. Earlier, they brought some bigwigs to meet their boss, but all of them
were nervous on the way. Some almost wet their pants, just like Mr. Stark, who was scared shitless.
However, Sophia looked fearless and calm.
When they arrived at the destination, Sophia was sent into a room. After she took off the eye mask, she
saw darkness only. There was a dim light in the room.
She knew the King of the Underworld wanted to keep being mysterious.
A man said behind the screen, "Here you came, Ms. Lawson."
Sophia gazed at his figure. "You've taken my friend here. Of course, I must come to see you."
The man chuckled, "Ms. Lawson, don't misunderstand me. I took Mr. Stark here to protect him. I don't
want anything else."
"Really? I didn't expect you to be so kind. Why did you protect someone irrelevant to you?"
"You are correct. I won't protect someone irrelevant to me. I protect him just because he's the one you Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
want to protect."
Sophia stared at him. Although they were close, she couldn't tell his appearance at all.
If he hadn't told her he was someone she knew in real life, she wouldn't have spared a glance at him.
However, thinking he might be Rashad, Sophia said, "Thank you for your kindness. I can protect Mr.
Stark. You didn't need to do that."
"If my men hadn't appeared on time, Jessica's men would have taken him away."
"So what? I could rescue him for sure."
The man chuckled again, "Ms. Lawson, what you've done seemed to have worsened the situation,
honestly."
Sophia bit her lip hard. Jessica seems to be becoming competent and doing things out of her
expectations. Yet Sophia didn't fear her.
"I have my ways to deal with her. Mister, can you let Mr. Stark go?"
The King of the Underworld's answer was unexpected. "I've taken him back, so I won't let him go
easily."
"Also, I'll rescue his family members."
Sophia snorted, "Unnecessary. I'll do it myself."
"Are you sure your men can be so professional as mine?"
Sophia had to admit the King of the Underworld was far more competent than her, but she believed he
must have some ulterior motives to approach her.
"No, but thank you for your kindness."
"Oops!" Drake covered his chest. "Ms. Lawson, I just try to help you. Why is it so hard?"
Drake hadn't told her he was the King of the Underworld. Earlier, he didn't want to use this identity, but
Sophia was in a worse and worse situation, so he offered to help her as the King of the Underworld.
Sophia, however, didn't appreciate his kindness at all.
"I don't need your help." Sophia refused him again.
Drake had the urge to rush out of the screen and tell her the truth.
A while later, he said, "Ms. Lawson, I simply want to help you..."
"No, thanks."
Drake was rendered wordless.
He only wanted to help her in another way.
He had to give it up as he could never win against her.
"OK. I'll let you take him away. If you need anything, feel free to come to me."
"I won't. Thanks, though," Sophia expressed her gratitude to him in a cold tone.
Drake was riled up.
Sophia met Mr. Stark. When they left, their eyes were covered.
Covering his chest, Drake sat down. Paul strode towards him.
"Mr. Riley, You can't keep doing this. Mrs. Riley doesn't know this identity of yours and thinks you covet
her. She's married. No doubt she won't accept your help?"
Drake was too angry to remember this point.
Paul's words enlightened him.
"You are right. I've been too inconsiderate."
"So, when will you tell Mrs. Riley the truth, Mr. Riley?"
Drake had a chance to tell her the truth earlier, but he screwed it up. If Sophia knew the truth now, he
wouldn't doubt she would be pissed off.
"I'd rather wait for a good time. There will be another chance for sure."
Paul shook his head helplessly. The longer Drake waited, the angrier Sophia would be after his identity
was exposed.
Jessica received the news that the King of the Underworld suddenly appeared to rescue Mr. Stark.
After moving to Sealand, she heard of the King of the Underworld. She wondered why the King of the
Underworld suddenly took Mr. Stark away, as she hadn't done anything to offend him.
