The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1123

As for Walter, Sophia could not refuse. She just whispered, "You keep her first. I'll call you later."

"Okay, mom... are you giving me a perfunctory response? I know you've got something to do, and you can even leave me behind for your important affairs. But this is the last time I beg you. I'm your son, so help me, please?"

There was a trace of melancholy in Walter's voice.

Sophia suddenly felt upset.

After all, Walter was her biological son. Moreover, he had been protecting her all these years.

Sophia suddenly felt ashamed of herself as she had wronged him many times, but she could do nothing. She wanted to help now that her son had asked for her, as long as it did not affect her plan. "Okay, I'll call you later."

Sophia hung up the phone after saying that and felt a little guilty.

Walter used to be really nice to her, and she once wanted to give up her plot. However, it was only nearly.

Sophia sighed. She did not expect that Walter was terribly gloomy now.

Seeing Walter like this, Deborah quickly reached out to hold his hand.

His hands were cold and they seemed to have no warmth. However, he was also trembling, not knowing whether it was because of grief or anger.

"Walter, don't be like this. You still have me."

Deborah hugged him tightly.

The soft curves and the warmth of Deborah's body made Walter stunned, and his frozen heart slowly became warm.

He hugged Deborah tightly and said in a deep voice, "Debbie, I only have you now. This time, I must get rid of her myself."

Deborah knew that Walter was very upset. After all, he had regarded Sophia as his family, but he did not expect that Sophia had betrayed his trust and hurt his closest relatives.

"Everything will be fine. If you feel uncomfortable, I'll do it later."

"No, she's my mother. Even if I have to die, I have to kill her myself."

Walter's eyes flashed a trace of pain and struggle. However, he calmed down eventually and he became determined.

The men on Sophia's side soon came back with news. With surveillance camera as a proof, Walter indeed knocked Deborah out and brought her to a five-star hotel. They had not come out yet. Hearing such a news, Sophia squinted her eyes.

She must get the Grey Family's sea navigation route, otherwise, her father would be very angry.

Even though it was her father, Sophia could sense that her father was not someone who had needed her very much. Furthermore, she had got a few siblings who were not easy to deal with. If it were not for the fact that Deborah was Walter's wife, Sophia would not be responsible for this task.

This was a chance given by her father, and it might be her last chance.

Sophia took a deep breath and whispered, "Wait for me here. I'll take Ayaan there."

Ayaan was good at fighting, and he could absolutely suppress Walter.

After some consideration, Sophia decided to meet Walter.

When Sophia called Walter, his face had become normal.

"Mom, you don't have to come. Just tell me what to do."

Walter seemed to reject Sophia coming over.

However, it was just because Walter acting this way and this made Sophia feel that he was not hiding anything from her.

"Silly you, there are some things that can't be explained clearly on the phone. Wait for me. I'll be right there." Sophia hung up the phone after that.

Walter sneered.

He did not tell Sophia the address, nor did Sophia ask. However, she obviously knew his movements very well. When he recalled that Charlotte had once heard about his whereabouts from Sophia, he became very unhappy. Then, he called his assistant.

"Check Sminorf Corporation thoroughly, you have to clear all the possible problems for me."

"Okay, Mr. Song."

The assistant quickly agreed.

Seeing Walter like this, Deborah felt very distressed.

"Honey, everything will be fine."

"Thank you, Debbie. Thank you for falling in love with someone as bad as me."

Walter was very glad now.

Deborah shook her head and said, "How can you be so bad? You are the best man in the world, at least in my eyes you are." Walter's heart suddenly warmed up.

Not long after, the sound of an engine came from the outside.

Walter narrowed his eyes.

Deborah smiled, "I'm going to play dead again."

"Don't worry. I won't let you do this again in the future."

Walter held Deborah's hand affectionately.

Deborah's heart was beating so fast as if it could jump out of her throat at any moment. She lowered her head and her face was flushed. Deborah was so attractive that Walter almost lost control of himself, but he also knew that it was not the right time for him to be lustful. Deborah quickly lay on the bed and pretended to be out of consciousness.

Walter tried hard to regulate his breathing and suppressed his emotions, and then he sat next to Deborah with a gloomy face. Sophia parked the car and let Ayaan go down to have a look. After he found no suspicion, then only did Sophia get out of the car.

They quickly got into the elevator and knocked on Walter's door according to the results of the investigation.

When Walter opened the door, he was surprised to see Sophia.

"Why are you here?"

His body was blocked at the door. He did not want Sophia to go in, and his eyes were full of rejection.

Sophia's heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"I'm your mother. What's wrong with me coming to see you?"

"You better leave. I just want you to teach me and I didn't want you to come over. This is Ocean City. Nathaniel won't let you go once he knows you're here. I don't want to oppose them. Leave now."

As Walter was speaking, he was going to push Sophia.

Sophia became less suspicious of Walter.

However, she pushed Walter away and walked into the room.

"Hey, Deborah is my daughter-in-law after all. Why can't I come here to see her?"

Sophia walked over to Deborah as she spoke.

When she saw Deborah lying on the bed, she was amazed.

Deborah was really pretty.

She had a kind of flamboyant and arrogant aura emitting from her, which was different from Mango's type of beauty. However, she could definitely be comparable to Mango. It was no wonder that Walter could be so attracted to her.

Sophia thought in her heart and could not help but sit down beside Deborah.

Deborah did not dare to breathe. She tried her best to keep her breathing even, as if she really had passed out and had not awaken yet.

Sophia was a little cautious and quickly reached out to touch Deborah.

Deborah subconsciously wanted to react, but she stopped herself.

Walter was watching nervously from the side.

Sophia finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Walter, I'll take Deborah back to stay with me for a few days. You can rest assured that I'll persuade her to go back to you during this period of time. Since you love her so much, I won't let her leave you."

Walter's eyes suddenly became darker.

"You want to use Debbie as a lure to get the Grey family's navigation line, don't you?"

Sophia was not embarrassed at all when her son exposed her intention. Instead, she smiled, "We are related to the Grey family by marriage. It's totally fine to borrow something from them. Don't be so serious, okay?" "What exactly are you planning now?"

Walter frowned tightly.

Sophia did not answer him but said in a low voice, "Son, I don't live as good a life as you think. I must get Grey family's navigation route, or I'll lose my foothold here. You love me, don't you? For so many years you have given up so much for me, so it's okay to help me again, right? Don't worry, I'll ensure Deborah's safety. I can promise she'll be fine after that."

"What if I say no?"

After saying that, Walter stepped forward and grabbed Sophia's wrist.

"Mom, repent now. If you turn yourself in, I'll take care of you in your old age."

Sophia's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Turn myself in? Are you kidding me? Walter, you used to oppose me for Mango, and now you're treating me like this for the sake of Deborah. You should know that I'm the one who gave birth to you!" Sophia's voice was somewhat shrill.

After saying this to Walter, she immediately shot a look at Ayaan.

Aya an understood immediately and charged

towards Walter.

Walter looked at Sophia calmly with a trace of heartache in his eyes, as if he had guessed that Sophia would do so.

At this time, Sophia could not look directly into her son's eyes.

"Don't blame me. I have no choice."

Sophia turned her head, and she did not see a red dot was pointing at Ayaan's temple.

'Puff!' the pistol was screwed with a silencer. In an instant, Ayaan fell down at a distance of less than half a meter from Walter.

There was a hole in his temple, and blood was gushing out from the hollow.

Sophia was naturally sensitive to this sound.

She jerked her head back and felt a sharp pain in her wrist.

"Walter, what are you doing?"

Sophia wanted to get rid of Walter's arm, but Walter grabbed her wrist tightly, and the syringe in his hand had been slowly pushed into her body.

"What did you inject into me?"

Sophia was going crazy.

She had never thought that she would fall into her son's trap.

Not long ago, she came back to see Walter. Although she knew that Walter was on Mango's side and he had actually called the police, he still gave her time to escape. This made Sophia feel that Walter still

had a sense of filial piety for her. However, at the same time, she was upset that her son was too concerned about their relationship and if he continued to be like this, he was destined to fail.

It was not that she was not guarding against Walter this time, but she just thought that he would not really harm her.

Walter pushed all the liquid from the syringe into Sophia's body before releasing her.

Sophia slapped Walter. The force was so strong that Walter's face tilted to one side, and the red marks of her hand appeared.

"You unfilial son! I am your mother! I was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to you! How dare you do this to me! Huh? What did you put into me just now?"

Sophia was about to explode.

At this moment, Deborah slowly sat up.

When she saw Walter's swollen left face, she was furious.

"It's not a big deal actually! It's just a drug that can make your heart stop working."
