Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 266

William stared at the stranger in the video wearing a treacherous smile, the sister whom he no longer recognized. The times of when she was delicate and generous played by in his mind like a film —— the time when she said Sophia shoved her, the time where she accidentally spilled a pot of hot water on Sophia…

At that moment, his body was cold inside out and soaked in a cold sweat.

He could barely believe that this cruel and malicious person was the kind-hearted sister he once thought to be, and it was even harder to imagine that his sister had been fooling him for so many years!

It was two in the afternoon and the Dream Club did not usually get that many customers during this time of the day, but because William was kneeling at the entrance, many passers-by had crowded around and the club gained customers they usually would get only at peak hours.

The Jones Family was one of the more well-known households in B City and had a certain reputation in the upper-class society so naturally, most people knew William. When they caught wind that he was kneeling before Dream Club as an apology to Sophia, they came over to join in the fun.

Passers-by stared as he remained on his knees, some were pitiful, some were unpleasant smirks, and some were plain looks of disgust. Still, William endured it all. His handsome face was hot from the humiliation and there were several times when he almost got up to leave, but he persevered.

Back then, Sophia was punished because of him and asked to kneel on the same exact spot. She, too, had her fair share of humiliation in front of an audience, and it was just as embarrassing, was it not?

She was a proud woman who did not enjoy being shamed at all. Yet, she was humiliated in such a way. She must have felt the humiliation much worse than him...

Someone close to the Jones Family came over and spoke to him. “Your sister almost destroyed Sophia by doing all those things. Whether you kneel here for an entire day or a whole month, she might never forgive you!”

“There’s no point for you to just kneel here, just get up!”

He gave the people beside him a knowing look and two men stepped forward to help William up.

However, William struggled free from their grasp and fell to his knees once again. “Just leave me alone!”

His face gradually became hotter as he sensed the stares coming from the people gathered around him. He tightened his fists and swallowed down the humiliation before shouting out, “Sophia, I’m sorry for accusing you!”

Someone started laughing as he held up a phone and began recording. “Look, the young master of Jones Group is kneeling in front of a club apologizing to Sophia White! On one hand, we have Leah who won’t let go of Mr. Harris, and on the other hand, we have William who won’t let go of Sophia. These two are truly an interesting pair of siblings!”

The person who was recording the video was a rival company of Jones Group who was often head to head against William. Right this moment, he brazenly recorded what was happening and deliberately raised his voice as if to make sure that William could hear him.

William’s expression tensed up as his stern eyes paused at the person, his handsome face burning with heat.

He glared at the gloating man who was blatantly taking pleasure in his misfortune and his fists tightened even more as he wanted to get up. However, he decided against his ways and forced himself to look away, pretending to not hear the man.

When Sophia kneeled on the ground the other time, he himself had jeered at her as well, along with Audrey and a couple of other people. Yet, she kept quiet and stayed on her knees as if she was deaf and unable to hear their harsh comments.

He had barely been here for two hours but he could not understand how did Sophia endure this. How did she survive this torture?

William thought of the time where Sophia wanted to crash her own car and commit suicide, and every cell in his body tensed up. He felt as if someone had sliced open his heart.

For the past eighteen years, Sophia always did whatever she pleased. When had she ever experienced such humiliation growing up? However, when she was working at Dream Club for that period of time, not only did she have to work hard labor, she had to endure all the criticisms as well. It was no surprise now that she could not handle it and considered committing suicide…

Aside from that, judging from the scars crisscrossing across her body, it was safe to assume that her two years in prison had not been easy!
