NovelUSAChapter 249 Explanation Sophie was already standing unsteadily, so she lost her balance and fell to the ground. As she looked up, her face was stained with tears.
Her heartbroken appearance made Benson frown.

What were they doing? Were they putting on skind of comedy show? A second ago, Sophie was smug, thinking she could still manipulate Benson. The next second, she was slapped back into reality.
Her expression froze, and her outstretched hand hung awkwardly in the air.
"Cee has never hit or cursed anyone," Benson mentioned seriously. "If she hit you, then you must have done something wrong. She isn't someone who causes trouble for no reason." Even Sierra, who had just been watching them for fun, was momentarily stunned by his unwavering trust in her. Memories of their past flashed in her mind. She then remembered how Benson had once chased after her, forcing her to apologize to Sophie. Now, seeing his absolute faith in her, she found it all ironic.
Such late affection and trust were useless to her as she didn't want it.
Sophie quickly regained her composure and forced a bitter smile. With sorrow, she asked, "You used to treatso well, but you won't even helpup now. Benson, how did we end up like this?"

I'm afraid Cee would misunderstand if she sees you here." Seeing that he was about to leave, she dropped the pitiful act and scrambled to her feet, rushing after him. "Benson, don't go!" She had barely taken two steps before he yanked his arm away from her grip.
His handsface was filled with irritation as he coldly warned, "The person I love is Cee. If you keep clinging to me, don't blme for being ruthless.
"From now on, don't appear in front ofor Cee again. I don't want her to be reminded of the past." Sophie paled. She had only pretended to look pitiful earlier but genuinely looked miserable now.
How could she not be tempted with a handsome, tall, and wealthy guy like Benson? However, she had never expected him to be so heartless! Just as she was racking her brain for a way to win him back, Benson's gaze suddenly softened.
Her heart leaped with joy as she thought he had finally cto his senses. "Benson..." He ignored her excitement and quickly walked past her, making his way to Sierra. "Cee, you're back. Why are you carrying so many things? Lethelp you with them." Seeing his outstretched hand, Sierra took two steps back, responding, "It's alright." Not wanting to be involved with either Benson or Sophie, she quickly made her way into her neighborhood.

You don't need to do this for me." She reclaimed her belongings and swiftly turned away. Just as she took a step forward, he suddenly grasped her wrist.
"Cee, I was there on the day of your competition." Benson stared stared at her anxiously, his voice uncertain. "I saw you with Theo, and I saw you getting into his car..."
