Joshua spun around and saw Sophia standing behind him. He hadn''t noticed when she had arrived.
He stood up, clearly irritated. "What are you doing? Can''t I kiss my own sister?"
"Sister? Joshua, do you think I''m stupid? She''s your girlfriend!" Sophia''s anger red, and she pped him hard across the face.
She continued, "I''ve been giving you my sry, even taking cash advances from my credit card to support your lifestyle, and this is how you repay me?"
Joshua was momentarily stunned, but he quickly denied it. "You''re talking nonsense!"
"Nonsense? You won''t own up to what you''ve done before, but what about tonight? You wanted to show off, so I lent you the keycard to Mr. White''s vi.
"You wanted to look rich, so I brought out Mrs. White''s car for you. And you still betrayed me? Do you even have a conscience?"
The more Sophia spoke, the angrier she became. She lunged at Joshua, hitting and wing at him in a blind rage.
The crowd stood frozen in shock.
"Isn''t Joshua supposed to be a rich kid? Why is he spending a woman''s money?"
"Wait, did I hear that right? She said the manor and the car aren''t even his, but he''s been using them to show off?"
"Don''t you remember? She''s the one who drove that car here."
By now, there were a few scratches on Joshua''s face. In his frustration, he violently shoved Sophia to the ground. "Sophia, have you lost your mind?"
Sophia copsed to the ground and broke down. "Joshua, how dare you hit me? I had an abortion for you. I lost our child and my health still hasn''t recovered, but now you''re hitting me? How cruel can you be?"
Lina nearly fainted upon hearing this. A child? An abortion?
"Joshua, didn''t you say she was your sister?" Lina questioned. Everyone was shocked.
So, both Sophia and Lina thought the other was Joshua''s sister. Joshua had been two-timing them all this while.
Even Roger and Tom were stunned. Joshua, who always portrayed himself as a cheerful and well-mannered rich kid, had gotten a woman pregnant outside of the university and caused her to have an abortion.
Seeing that his lies were unraveling, Joshua panicked. He rushed forward and covered Sophia''s mouth, his face twisted with anger. "Sophia, are you crazy? Shut up! We can talk about this somewhere else. Come with me!"
Sophia struggled desperately, but she wasn''t strong enough to break free. Joshua yanked her along, dragging her forward. They had barely taken a few steps before n appeared in front of them.
The moment Joshua saw n, his face turned ghostly pale. For years, n had been the one handling his affairs. n also sent him his monthly living allowance.
"M-Mr. Dignam, what brings you here?"
Of course, I had called n over. Tonight, I was determined to strip Joshua of his fa?ade with the help of Sophia, leaving nothing behind.
n held a folder, his face expressionless. "Joshua, when I informed you that the foundation was terminating your financial support, I also made it clear that you must repay the entrepreneurial loan in full. You had seven days to do so.
"Today is the third day past the deadline. If you continue to dy it, I will file awsuit against you in court."
Joshua''s first instinct wasn''t to exin himself to n. Instead, he turned frantically toward Roger, Tom, and Lina.
They were all staring at him with disbelief and suspicion. In that moment, he felt like his world hade crashing down.
