The warm sunset light flooded most of the room, yet it still couldn’t disperse the dense clouds on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophie blinked her eyes—he seemed... well, a bit... unhappy, it appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you just say?\" Charles spoke, the temperature in the room plummeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophie extended her index finger and gently poked Charles’s arm, like a wobbly little kitten still unsteady on its feet, playfully teasing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles lowered his gaze, watching that pale tender fingertip poke lightly at his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fingertip was healthy pink, the nails full and glossy; with each poke, a part of his heart softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophie was poking him to divert attention, but suddenly, warmth enveloped her hand as a strong hand firmly grasped it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively looking up, she fell straight into the endless starry sea of indulgence in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart skipped a beat, and a wave of heat washed over her cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, he, he... what kind of gaze was that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could someone seduce just with their eyes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was playing foul, ahhhhhhh!!!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How would you like to serve?\" Charles’s sexy voice, slightly hoarse, was like a fine silk gently brushing against Sophie’s ears, instantly making them feel scorching hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophie was so flustered and her palms became sweaty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the teasing in Charles’s eyes, Sophie snorted inwardly, letting her defiant thoughts take the upper hand. She gave him a bright smile and said very righteously, \"I’m here to call you for dinner. The service of calling you to eat when it’s time for meals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophie emphasized the word \"service\" particularly gravely, successfully witnessing Charles’s expression freeze for a moment, and her heart instantly felt triumphant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Withdrawing her hand from his large one, Sophie smugly patted his shoulder and advised earnestly, \"Young man, don’t let your imagination run wild!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, she turned around, bouncing downstairs with the glee of someone who just won a battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, she didn’t have a tail; otherwise, it might have flipped up to the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Sophie’s triumphant back as she went downstairs, Charles couldn’t help but shake his head affectionately and chuckle softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and entered the room, picking up the chair that had fallen over.

While eating, she said to Charles, \"Do you know of any good lawyers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles looked at Sophie, asking silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to reclaim what’s mine,\" a hint of coldness flashed in Sophie’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charles did not answer Sophie but directly picked up his phone, dialed, and upon connecting, said, \"Proceed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he hung up the call and said to Sophie, \"The lawyer will be ready to accompany you tomorrow to reclaim the company and property.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophie was momentarily stunned, then couldn’t help but laugh as she asked, \"You’ve planned this all along, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t know when you’d make a move.\" Charles’s words were plain, but the underlying meaning was anything but simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had prepared well in advance to reclaim everything that belonged to her at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>",573,"2026-06-03T13:57:31.225Z",1,"novelbin.me","c80ebaba7f404549267f0f3166a5a1dd8221ef7c7778dd0483f385c0ff1624ca","rebirth-clinging-to-my-possessive-magnate-chapter-147","rebirth-clinging-to-my-possessive-magnate-chapter-145",992,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-clinging-to-my-possessive-magnate-cover.jpg"]
