The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

Chapter 345 My Girl



Soon, Marcus and Mary entered the Guidance Office. Marcus stopped on his track the moment he saw Sophia.

"Sophie…"

Sophia\'s body stiffened the moment she heard that familiar voice. Her back was facing the entrance door of the office so she couldn\'t see him.

However, she knew that the person who called her name was Marcus. Her heart suddenly constricted as she felt a pang of pain. Unpleasant memories came flashing into her mind.

Unknowingly, Sophia tightened her grip on Matthew\'s hand. She slammed her eyes shot trying to calm herself down. She was not yet ready to face Marcus after what happened in the Queen\'s Hall.

\'It still hurts. I don\'t want to see him! I don\'t want to…\' Sophia was having a hard time controlling her emotions.

Matthew could feel Sophia\'s discomfort. He just continued holding her hand. He knew Sophia was having a hard time.

\'Damn! I don\'t want to see Sophia like this. Am I making things difficult for her?\' Matthew looked at her worriedly.

The Guidance Counselor invited Marcus to join them. John and Lester gave him a meaningful look as he sat down beside them.

Marcus\' eyes were fixed on Sophia who was avoiding him. She was just silent while looking down. Marcus frowned the moment he recognized the man beside Sophia.

\'He was the one who barged in the Queen\'s Hall and took away Sophia. What is he doing here? Why is the CEO of the Heavenly Star Enterprise also here?\' Marcus pondered at that thought.

Marcus glanced at John and Lester coldly. He received John\'s message asking him to keep quiet and deny everything.

After seeing Sophia, now he understood why he was summoned in the Guidance Office. This might be related to what happened in the Queen\'s Hall during the Acquaintance Party.

Marcus shifted his gaze from his friends to Sophia. He clenched his fists while looking at Sophia worriedly. He knew that Sophia would be having a hard time once everyone would know what happened to them in the Queen\'s Hall.

\'Did she complain against us? Or John and Lester have something to do with this?! But why is it that the man who took Sophia and CEO Davis are also here?\'

When Marcus gazed at Matthew, he saw his bloodshot eyes glaring at him.

\'I hate this man! What is his relationship with Sophia?\' Marcus mumbled to himself while looking at Matthew\'s hand that was holding Sophia\'s hand.

Cough! Cough!

The Guidance Counselor cleared his throat to break the awkward silence. He darted his gaze back and forth between Sophia and Marcus.

He could tell that something was going on between the two of them. Marcus\'s gaze was directed to Sophia. There was a hint of concern in those eyes. Sophia looked restless and anxious, avoiding Marcus.

"Alright. Since Sophia and Marcus are already here, let\'s continue our conversation." The Guidance Counselor spoke up.

"The reason we are here is to talk about the incident that happened in the Queen\'s Hall during the Acquaintance Party. John and Lester came here to complain against Mr. Matthew Wilkins who happened to be one of our guests during the event." The Guidance Counselor explained to them.

"They thought Mr. Wilkins was also a student here. They complained that Mr. Wilkins assaulted them that night without a valid reason."

Marcus shot John and Lester a sharp glare. He knew it. John and Lester were the reasons why they were called here.

"At first, we thought this was a concern related to Mr. Wilkins and our two students, John and Lester. It turned out there was a deeper story behind this. So I summoned you here, Marcus and Sophia." The Guidance Counselor said with a very serious voice.

Sophia clenched her fists. She had somehow grasped the situation now. John and Lester were the ones who tried to put the blame on Matthew so he had no choice but to defend himself thus revealing the true incident that night.

She understood Matthew for breaking his promise of not keeping his silence. He had to defend himself.

But unknown to Sophia, Matthew was not doing this for himself. He was doing this for her. He wanted to punish the culprits who tried to hurt her and take advantage of her.

"Mr. Wilkins said that he was trying to save Sophia from you, Marcus, that\'s why he had no choice but to beat John and Lester who were blocking his way and stopping him that time."

"Now, tell me… was it true that you, Marcus, tried to take advantage of Sophia that night so you brought her in the Queen\'s Hall and spiked her drinks? Did you try to harm her? Did you force her?"

"No! It\'s not true! Sophia came with me willingly. I didn\'t force her! I didn\'t spike her drinks." Marcus responded firmly.

John and Lester smiled inwardly. They were happy that Marcus was cooperating with them and denying the accusation. As long as Marcus kept his silence, Sophia and Matthew had no proof that they were the ones who spiked her drinks.

Sophia couldn\'t believe that Marcus would still deny it. She hated herself more for believing and trusting him. He betrayed her.

\'I hate myself more than I hate Marcus. I let myself be deceived by him. I\'m so stupid for trusting him,\' Sophia thought to herself. Her eyes became misty. She wanted to cry and just disappeared from their sights right now.

Matthew, on the other hand, wanted to beat Marcus. How could he deny it?

\'If it is not a mortal sin then I will kill this man right now! He is hurting Sophia\'s feelings. Why can\'t he admit his wrongdoing? What a jerk!\'

Tristan patted Matthew\'s shoulder asking him to calm down. From his expression alone, Tristan could tell that Matthew was on the verge of losing his cool.

The Guidance Counselor sighed deeply. He could see in Marcus\' eyes that he was not lying.

"See, Guidance Counselor, that piece of paper Mr. Wilkins presented to you can\'t prove that we were the ones who spiked her drinks." John insisted.

"There\'s no way that our friend, Marcus, will do that as well. As you heard, Marcus didn\'t force her. Besides, Sophia has a crush on Marcus. I bet she feels very happy to be with Marcus that night," John added with a sarcastic smile on his face.

Matthew could no longer restrain himself. He wanted to punch that face so hard so that John won\'t be able to smile like that again.

Matthew stood up, ready to grab John\'s collar. He was boiling with rage. All he wanted to do was beat him into pulp right now.

John chuckled seeing Matthew who was now standing with eyes blazing with rage.

"What?! Are you going to punch me again? Come! Do it. So that our Guidance Counselor can see how violent you are." John said, provoking Matthew more.

The Guidance Counselor also stood up, ready to step up if ever a fight would break out inside his office.

"Matt, calm down! This is not how you deal with things." Tristan placed his hand on Matthew\'s shoulder.

Sophia also grabbed Matthew\'s hand. When Matthew glanced at Sophia, all he could do was sigh. At that certain moment, Matthew came back to his senses.

"I\'m sorry," Matthew mumbled while looking straight into her eyes.

When Matthew sat down, Mary and the Guidance Counselor heaved a sigh of relief. They really thought Matthew would charge in and punch John. Fortunately, Tristan and Sophia stopped him.

Then the Guidance Counselor turned to John, giving him a warning look. He knew that John was provoking Matthew. He was also being sarcastic.

"John, mind your words," he slightly scolded him.

"Sorry about that, sir," John flatly said. He apologized but he didn\'t mean it.

He was just rejoicing to see Matthew\'s pissed-off expression. He was glad that even in a situation like this he could get even with him. He wanted to provoke him more.

Meanwhile, Marcus was silently observing Matthew and Sophia. He didn\'t know why but he hated to see her close to Matthew.

\'Why did he react like that? What is his relationship with Sophia? Does he like her? He\'s handsome and he has a stable job and a nice career. I bet he has a girlfriend but why is it he is being protective of Sophia, a college student? Are they family-related?\' Marcus was troubled by these thoughts.

​ Out of curiosity, Marcus asked Matthew suddenly.

"What is your relationship with Sophia? Is she your relative? Why are you so protective of her?"

Everyone averted their gazes at Matthew, anticipating his answer. Even the Guidance Counselor and Mary were curious as to why Matthew Wilkins was very affected when it came to Sophia.

Matthew paused for a moment after hearing Marcus\' question. He turned to his side, looking at Sophia who was still holding his hand.

After a few seconds, Matthew answered Marcus.

"Sophia is my girl."

Sophia: "..."

Tristan: "..."

Marcus: "..."

John: "..."

Lester: "..."

Mary: "..."

Guidance Counselor: "..."

\'Girl? Does he mean… his girlfriend?\'
