Chapter 13 E 1/2 E Sophia sat on the living room couch while the family doctor , Caleb Forbes , carefully tended to the bruises on her body . When the alcohol swab touched her wounds , she hissed in pain . However , her mind was consumed by Victoria's cold stare in the warehouse earlier . Something was wrong . Very wrong . She had the same face , but that look and ruthless edge were nothing like the submissive " Victoria " from before . " Ugh ! " She suddenly gripped the couch armrest tightly , and Caleb quickly apologized . " Ms. Page , just bear with it a little longer . I'm almost finished . " Sophia waved him off impatiently , gesturing for him to hurry up . After Caleb left , she stood up , deciding to get some water to calm her nerves . Just as she reached the hallway , she heard two maids whispering in the corner , clutching an envelope . " She said to give this to her after the wedding , but the wedding wasn't completed . What should we do ? " " Shh , keep your voice down ! If Mr. Reid finds out we didn't handle what Mrs. Reid asked us to do … " Sophia narrowed her eyes and quietly approached them . What are you talking about ? " The two maids jumped , one nearly dropping the envelope . Seeing it was Sophia , their faces went even paler , " What is that ? " Sophia held out her hand . " Let me see . " " Ms … Ms. Page … Lily hesitated before handing it over . " Mrs. Reid gave this to us earlier , saying to give it back to her after the wedding . But now that the wedding isn't completed , we don't know what to do … " Sophia's pulse quickened , but she smiled gently . see . Leave it with me then . I was just about to go find her anyway . Once the maids left , she immediately returned to her room . She locked the door and eagerly tore open the envelope . Inside were several handwritten notes , the handwriting neat and clear . " Jason is allergic to milk , so never let him have any . He also hates sweets . He only drinks black coffee , with no sugar . " There's stomach medicine in the second drawer on the left in his study . He forgets to take it when working late … " Sophia's fingers trembled slightly. Victoria already knew Jason so well , so why would she write these things down and ask the maids to deliver them to " herself " ? Unless … Her heart suddenly raced . Unless the woman inside this mansion wasn't Victoria at all ! She shot to her feet and grabbed her phone , dialing quickly . " I need you to investigate Victoria Coleman . Everything you can find , especially all her movements in the past three months ! " After hanging up , she stuffed the notes into the bottom of her jewelry box and took a deep breath to calm herself . The moment Sophia left the kitchen , she came face - to - face with Victoria walking up the stairs . Their eyes met , and the air instantly froze . Sophia forced down her racing pulse and managed a smile . " Ms. Coleman , Jason's in his study . Would you like to bring him a mug of hot milk ? " She stared intently at Victoria's face , watching for any change in expression . Victoria slowly raised an eyebrow , her gaze moving from Sophia's swollen face to the milk in her hand . Suddenly , she sneered and took the mug . She then splashed the entire mug of hot milk across Sophia's face . " Ah ! " Sophia screamed and stumbled backward , milk dripping down her hair . She looked completely disheveled . " Are you insane ? " Victoria threw the empty mug to the floor , shards scattering everywhere . She curled her lips in contempt . " The maids can handle that kind of thing . Who do you think you are , trying to order me around ? " Sophia trembled with rage . " You … You actually … " " What's going on ? " Jason emerged from his study , frowning at the scene . Victoria crossed her arms defiantly " I threw it at her . So what ? " She glanced at Sophia . " At least I own up to what I do , unlike some people who resort to underhanded tactics . " With that , she turned and walked away . Her heels ruthlessly crushed the ceramic shards beneath her feet with sharp , grating sounds . Sophia looked tearfully at Jason . " Jason , why is she treating me like this ? " Jason was silent for a moment , his gaze following Victoria's retreating figure . Then , he said something unprecedented . The wedding didn't happen . It's normal for her to be upset . " He looked away , " It's not a big deal . Just go clean yourself up Chapter 13 Sophia was stunned as she stared at him in disbelief . Jason was actually defending Victoria ?
