Chapter 96
“Haven’t you always wanted to become an internationally renowned dancer? I’ve helped you contact Winston Clarkson who’s in Janeborough. Once your injuries are healed, you can make your way there. He has seen your dance video before and he’s quite satisfied with you. He has the intention to take you in as his disciple.”
Gordon repeated.
“What about you? Will you come with me?” Sophia was still holding on to one last hope.
“I can’t leave Solemwood yet.” Gordon shook his head.
“So are you trying to break up with me? Is this your way of compensating me? By making Mr. Clarkson accept me as his disciple? Is that what you’re doing?” Sophia could no longer hold back her emotions.
“I’m sorry.” Gordon looked at Sophia in front of him and said in a hoarse voice.
“Gordon, did something happen? Did Marina look for you again? Were you forced to do so? It doesn’t matter. I can always stay by your side. I will accompany you through the most difficult days!” Sophia walked down from the hospital bed. Her eyes were bloodshot as she tried to grab Gordon’s hand.
However, Gordon immediately retreated.
Sophia’s hand froze mid–air.
“Gordon…” Sophia’s voice instantly choked.
“Sophia, I’m sorry. Here are 2 million dollars. It’s all I have now. It’s enough for you to live a stable life in Janeborough. In the future… just forget about me.” Gordon placed the check in his hand on the cabinet beside him.
Then, he turned around and left the ward resolutely.
“Gordon, you bastard!” Sophia was so angry that she picked up the vase beside her and threw it at him.
However, Gordon did not dodge at all.
The vase hit the back of his head, and blood instantly flowed down the back of his neck.
“Gordon!” Sophia did not expect Gordon to not dodge it. She hurriedly rushed forward to check his injuries.
However, Gordon only looked at her calmly. “If you feel uncomfortable, you can hit me a few more times.”
Sophia was stunned to hear that.
“Liar, you liar! You said you would marry me, you said it yourself! You promised!” Sophia’s eyes were red as she kept hitting Gordon’s chest.
“My family is bankrupt,” suddenly, Gordon said in a deep voice.
“What did you say?” Sophia immediately stopped what she was doing.
“My family has gone bankrupt. My grandfather is still in the hospital. The Campbell family is in a mess,” Gordon looked into Sophia’s eyes and repeated.
“This… How is this possible? How can your family go bankrupt?” Sophia was in complete disbelief.
The Campbell family was at the top of Solemwood’s pyramid. How could it suddenly go bankrupt?
“Sophia, in the past, we were narrow–minded and could only see Solemwood. However, the world is vast. Although the holl family can do whatever we want in Solemwood, in other places, we are just ants that will be easily crushed by

others.” Gordon laughed self–deprecatingly.
Looking at Gordon’s expression, Sophia finally believed that he was not lying. Then, she asked with a trembling voice, “Is it because of Marina?”
However, before Gordon could answer, Sophia overturned this conclusion. “No, it can’t be her. She’s not that capable. It must be the man behind her!!!”
“She’s just a slut who only knows how to use her body to seduce men!”
At the thought of Marina, Sophia wished she could tear her into pieces!
Looking at Sophia’s ferocious face, Gordon suddenly felt a little lost.
Sophia had always been dignified and virtuous in front of him.
He never knew that when she scolded someone, she was exactly the same as those shrews on the streets.
“I’ll accept the money, but you better remember that you will always owe me. The youth I spent on you is not something that can be repaid with just two million!” Sophia raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and picked up the check on the cabinet.
After confirming that it was signed and stamped, she put it away.
Gordon was still not used to Sophia’s cold tone.
“Aren’t you leaving? Why are you still standing here?” Sophia was no longer in the mood to continue pretending.
The Campbell family was already bankrupt. Before this, she had thought that Gordon was powerful.
But now, he could not even deal with that slut, Marina.
He was right about one thing. Perhaps she had been too narrow–minded in the past.
She only set her sights on Solemwood and treated Gordon as if he was the best.
There was a wider world outside. She believed that with her methods and charm, she would definitely be able to find an even more powerful man in Janeborough.
At that time, she would definitely trample Marina under her feet.
She had to make Marina pay for the humiliation she had suffered a thousand times over!
Looking at the intense hatred in Sophia’s eyes, Gordon suddenly smiled.
However, that smile was filled with self–mockery.
Sophia said that she had wasted so many years of her youth on him.
If that was the case, didn’t he do the same?
“Sophia, do you love me or my identity as a member of the Campbell family?” Gordon asked unwillingly.
“What’s the point of asking this now?” Sophia snorted.
“I see. I got it.” Gordon chuckled softly,
He thought that he had lived up to his feelings, but in the end, it seemed that it was just his wishful thinking.
Ridiculous. It was truly ridiculous.

Chapter 96
Before coming to the hospital, he had been thinking about what he would do if Sophia refused to leave.
However, the moment she heard that the Campbell family had gone bankrupt, her expression immediately changed.
Gordon, oh Gordon.
No wonder Marina said that you were ridiculous and a fool back then.
It was true.
He was indeed a joke.
Gordon turned around and staggered out the door.
His mother and father had actually married for love in the beginning.
However, shortly after their marriage, his father lost interest in his mother.
He gradually neglected her. Then, he started to not return home at night. In the end, he even brought his mistress back to the house.
As long as he could remember, he could see them arguing every day.
He saw his mother’s dejected expression.
Until one day, his mother jumped down from the building in front of him.
Her last words in this world were, “Why are all the men in this world so heartless?”
Why couldn’t he be faithful to her? Why did he have to provoke her?
From then on, Gordon swore that he would never be as cold–blooded as his father.
He would definitely not be like him, a man who would betray his lover.
He would offer all his loyalty to his lover.
He was willing to give her everything he had.
He wanted his lover to be the happiest person in the world.
This had always been his belief!
However, Sophia crushed his faith into pieces.
In a daze, Gordon did not pay attention to the path ahead and accidentally bumped into a person.
He was already staggering so he started falling backward.
