I knew it.
A woman who goes through all that just to catch a rich guy like Arthur isnt going to let him go that easily .

What , do you think hell just let you off the hook ? Maybe cut off all your contracts ? She couldnt help but laugh inwardly .
Sophia clearly had a short memory .
It seemed the lesson Charlotte had taught her before wasnt enough .

Dream on !
