Three Treasures: Spoiled Wife Goes Wild

Chapter 17: Chapter 17 What's the Connection?



The man stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows with his hands behind his back.

His face was indifferent, but a trace of obscurity flashed in his dark eyes.

"Investigate the Allen family."

A few seconds later, a deep voice sounded.

"Yes, Mr. Battleson." As Jones George was instructed, he immediately left the study.

Justin Battleson picked up his cell phone, which still displayed the candid front-face photo of Sophie Allen.

The corner of her mouth was cut, and you could still see traces of blood. Her cheeks were bruise-marked.

Especially those moist almond eyes, which annoyed Justin Battleson so much that he tossed the phone onto the table.

...

Comet Hospital.

After tucking Aunt Watson into bed, Sophie Allen hurriedly rushed out.

Henry Hudson happened to come looking for her and stopped her: "Charlotte, where are you going?"

When Sophie Allen turned around, Henry Hudson had already approached her.

"Fellow student, I have to go to Stardust Garden urgently. Aunt Watson's surgery must have cost a fortune, so I need to borrow some money," Sophie Allen replied honestly.

Just as Henry Hudson was about to discuss this with her, he hastily reassured her, "You don't need to borrow money. Aunt Watson's medical expenses are completely waived."

"Fellow student, that's unacceptable. You've already done so much for me. I can't trouble you any further." Sophie Allen quickly shook her head.

She already owes a huge favor to Henry Hudson, it is not fair to let him chip in money again.

Henry Hudson is just a doctor at Comet Hospital, and furthermore, he's still an intern. Even with a generous salary, he can't just use other people's money.

Besides, Ryan Battleson has agreed to lend her money, and she has already written an IOU.

"Charlotte, there's no need to be polite. Comet is owned by the Hudson Group, it belongs to my cousin; our family also holds shares. Aunt Watson's medical expenses need not be paid," Henry sincerely explained.

Sophie Allen appreciated Henry Hudson's kindness, but she still shook her head, "Fellow student, I've already given an IOU to Stardust Garden."

"This time, I really can't trouble you. I appreciate your kindness, I know the hospital rules," Sophie said before hastily leaving, not leaving enough time for Henry to explain.

Henry Hudson watched her retreating back with a sigh of concern.

What could he do to make Sophie accept his kindness?

Sophie Allen rushed back to Stardust Garden, at the break of dawn.

She planned on waiting for Madam Clarkson to wake up and then ask her about Ryan's hospital. She wanted to go directly to Ryan to borrow money.

After all, their contract and the million-dollar IOU were trades between her and Ryan only.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Sophie Allen jerked awake and quickly got up from the sofa to open the door.

Outside the door stood a young maid, whom Sophie Allen recognized as Tina.

"Miss Allen, young master requested your presence," Tina slightly raised her eyelid, her gaze seemingly disdainful.

Even while addressing her, she used the term "Miss Allen," not "young madam."

Sophie Allen did not care about these details, because she was shocked.

"Young master? You mean... Justin Battleson is looking for me?" Her small face instantly grew pale.

The words that Justin had said to her in this new room were simply horrendous.

Now, what could he possibly want from her?

Tina curled her lips, somewhat impatiently said, "Yes, the young master wants to have a word with you, hurry to the study."

Hearing the word "study," Sophie Allen heaved a sigh of relief.

She wanted to see what exactly the young master wanted!

Soon, Sophie Allen was led to the door of the study, where Tina knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A deep and magnetic voice sounded.

Sophie pursed her lips, extended her hand to open the door, and walked into the study.

The dawn was breaking outside, but the room was not lit, creating a dim atmosphere.

"Young master, may I know why you called for me?" Sophie Allen held her hands in front of her, looking quite constrained.

Thinking about Justin's behavior, she felt slightly sweaty palms.

Hearing this, the man's face turned gloomy.

Her appellation for him had changed from "Big Brother Battleson" to "Young Master."

Justin Battleson turned around and walked towards Sophie Allen who began to back off with a look of terror in her eyes.

"Sophie Allen, what is your relationship with Henry Hudson?" He cornered her in front of the desk, his gaze cold.
