Chapter 563
Javier’s gaze wavered. He sternly rebuffed, “What nonsense is that? What do I have to do
with Winston Taylor’s woman?”
“You were a shareholder of TS Network before we even met. Back then, Lyla’s fame was on
the rise, and rumors were flying that you were her sugar daddy. Reporters took photos of
you and Lyla meeting in private.
“Are you sure 1
sure there was nothing between the two of you?” Sophia couldn’t help but mention the
past at the thought of Lyla. She was green in envy.
She had chosen to date Javier not only because he was the heir of Beckett Group but also
because rumors had it that he was Lyla’s man.
That was why she felt compelled to take everything in Lyla’s possession. And if she
couldn’t, she was willing to destroy it all.
Growing increasingly enraged, Javier asserted, ‘There’s absolutely nothing between me
and Lyla.”
Sophia was stung by the intense look in his eyes and cowered.

her and married you instead? Besides, I’m not the kind of man who keeps mistresses.”
Sophia felt like the air was being sucked out of the room. As innocent as they might have
been, Javier’s
words made her feel like she was i
replacement, a second choice.
“So, you liked her, didn’t you? And you still have feelings for her!” Sophia’s voice trembled
with anger as she tugged at Javier’s arm, her eyes filling with tears.
She complained, “Javier, she’s just a bitch! She slept with management and ruined her
career by taking drugs. A man would only risk his reputation by getting associated with
her. She’s not worthy of anything other than being Winston Taylor’s third wife.”
Oddly, Javier was troubled by Sophia’s remarks. He had met Sophia through Lyla over two
decades ago, back when Lyla surpassed Sophia in terms of fame, beauty, and acting
talent.
In his memory, Lyla wasn’t as indecent as Sophia made her out to be. Even when Lyla
failed the drug test and left the industry with her reputation in tatters, he remained
steadfast in his bellef that she had been framed. Not once did he look down upon her.
With a stem expression, he began, “I know Lyla’s character. Besides, Winston wouldn’t
have married her if she was as indecent as you mentioned.

“During those years, I sympathized with Lyla, who did not fight back at all despite being
bullied and
ostracized by her colleagues from the same network.
“As a shareholder, I was technically TS Network’s boss. It was only natural for me to want
to look after a
potential star within our network.
“I don’t understand the point of digging up gossip from two decades ago. I married you b
because I thought you were understanding and gracious. If you keep stirring trouble, youll
only make me question my
decision to marry you.”
Sophia’s eyes widened, and a knot formed in her stomach, Javier’s words felt like a brutal
blow to her

She lamented, “Javier, how could you see me in that light? I remained by your side even
when I faced humiliation-I was pregnant with your child before we were married.”
Javier finally relented at the sight of Sophia weeping sorrowfully. He sighed and patted her
trembling
back. “Stop crying. I admit I was quite harsh just now. Don’t take it personally, okay?”
Sophia would not have been easily coaxed in the past. But now, she learned the
importance of
moderation. 1
She cooled down and hugged him. “Javier, don’t be angry at me. I was angry because I
loved you and
cared for you too much. I worried that you might dump me someday.”
Then, she kissed him, her lips damp with her tears. Exhausted, Javier succumbed to his
desire as he
savored the sexy time with his wife that he had missed.
Tugging on his tie, Sophia shrugged off her nightrobe. They stumbled their way to the bed
while
passionately making out.
Meanwhile, Alyssa was back at her villa in Solana City.
