Chapter 733

James turned to look at Sophia in disbelief. He could not believe that she and Arthur had done such a
thing.

Left with no choice, she played along. “I’m sorry, James. Please forgive me.”

He quickly took hold of her hand. “It’s alright. I know that I’ve made you feel left out when I was abroad,
but I promise that I’ll stay by your side from now on. I forgive you.”

Arthur’s brows furrowed tightly after he failed to infuriate the man.

“Mr. Weiss, stop it. You can’t separate us. We love each other and we’re going to get engaged next
month,” she added solemnly. Since they had taken things this far, she gladly used the opportunity to
get under Arthur’s skin.

“Are you serious? No man would ever be unwavered like you when his woman has been intimate with
someone else.” Arthur rebuked James.

“I… If you ever lay a finger on my girlfriend again, I won’t let you off the hook that easily,” warned
James angrily.

“Try me,” Arthur retorted while walking toward Sophia with a sinister smile; his evil intentions, engulfed
by his handsome face, had not seemed to be noticed by her.

“I—I will…” James could discern the chest muscles underneath Arthur’s shirt; he seemed strong and it
was obvious that James stood no chance against him.

At that moment, the man wrapped his muscular arm around Sophia’s waist and propped her chin
before crushing his lips onto hers aggressively; it was a blatant showcase of affection and dominance
in front of James.



Her beady eyes widened as she felt his lips on hers, but she could not shake off his arm from her waist.

“Hmm…” she whimpered as she thought she was going mad for she had not expected Arthur to cross
the line with such an innocent facade!

A wide-eyed James witnessed the scene in utter shock. He did not foresee the man to kiss her
forcefully right before his eyes.

“Let go of her!” He huffed in rage. As her close friend, he could not bear the sight of her getting
violated.

Even so, Arthur kissed her as though it was a punishment for her. Sophia’s mind went blank and her
body tensed up while she attempted to shove him away.

When he finally released her, he provoked James. “Wanna fight with me?”

Meanwhile, her breathing became heavier as she covered her rosy lips. Despite her flushing face, she
tried to gather herself before tugging at James. “Let’s go.”

A cold voice resounded menacingly behind them. “Sophia Goodwin, you better break up with him in an
hour.”

Yet, she neither turned her head nor responded to his threat as she believed that he had gone
overboard this time. After getting into the car, James gazed at her in concern. “Are you alright?”

Sophia covered her face and spoke in a quivering voice, “I’m fine.”

“That guy is handsome, but he’s a pervert! How dare he force himself on you like that!”

“Please don’t bring it up anymore… and keep it a secret, will you?” begged Sophia.



“Of course, I won’t, but it looks like he really likes you,” James claimed while starting up the car.

The sudden kiss she shared with Arthur kept plaguing her mind while the repeated imagery of his
eyelashes and gaze reminded her that it was her punishment. The more she thought about it, the
redder her cheeks became.

Lorelai made a dash to the hotel nearby the airport to take a rest since she had a flight to catch at
10.00PM. Now that she had stolen Elliot’s sperm, she had to be extra careful in order not to give the
game away.
