Chapter 72 Memories of the past

He had never been scolded like this by his father not even when he was a child. It was difficult for him to bear this insult. He put the blame of everything on Jane and Edwin Carter. According to him, Edwin Carter was responsible for everything. Because of him Ye Enterprises suddenly announced to cooperate with Innovation and just because of Edwin Carter he had to face so much embarrassment at Shengtian’s charity dinner. Christopher Greyson clenched his fist, and he assumed the newspaper as Edwin Carter and wished to cut Edwin Carter’s throat. "Christopher, what happened?" Sophie had clearly heard everything, but she pretends like she knew nothing. Men like silly women. So for Christopher Greyson, Sophie tries to pretend herself as a caring, sensible but a silly woman. Christopher Greyson was really angry. When he saw Sophie’s face, he seemed to see a little hope there. He smiled and asked, "When are you going to meet Jane?" "Yes, I have already talked to her. Today, I will have lunch with her." Sophie smiled softly as if she didn’t care what Christopher Greyson’s thoughts about Jane. "You are really amazing. You are my biggest support" Christopher Greyson hugged Sophie. "Let’s go." Sophie smiled and said, "Christopher, there is a different relationship between Jane and me. If I say something to her, I believe she will listen but if you go..." Sophie was really sharp and clever. Christopher Greyson’s actions during this period were under her control. She was very clear that Christopher Greyson hadn’t been able to catch up with Jane and her attitude towards him is as cold as towards a stranger. And she cannot let others know about her main purpose of meeting Jane. She cannot let Christopher Greyson know anything else. Sophie arrived at the appointed place a little earlier and ordered some food according to Jane’s likes. While waiting for Jane, Sophie got indulged in memory. When she was eight years old and Jane was six years old, they moved to a new home with their father and met Christopher Greyson, who was only ten years old. The father told the sisters that they must please the eldest son of Greyson family, follow him in everything and never displease him. Sophie kept her father’s words firmly in her mind. After that, she took good care of Christopher Greyson as long as she was there. But the little Jane didn’t care so much because she didn’t understand such things. She had never taken her father’s words to her heart, and even bit Christopher Greyson.

If anyone dares to bully Jane, he will leave no place for that guy. Since then on he became so nice to Jane. At that time, Sophie did not understand why Christopher Greyson liked Jane so much. She was standing in front of him since their childhood. Why didn’t he see her? Sophie’s father also intended to let her go close to Christopher Greyson, hoping that she could get Christopher Greyson’s heart and in future become an important part of the Gu family. However, Christopher Greyson can only see Jane. No matter what Sophie did she has never got the place that Jane has. Years passed and they grew up.

The scar in her heart healed a little when another man appeared in her life. She had never seen such a man with such temperament, attitude and perfect appearance. At a glance, that man attracted her. She inquired a lot about him and found out that his name is John Carter, doing a Ph.D. in the Department of finance at Harvard University.
