Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 114

Sophia did not hold back at all.

When Jenny heard this, she started crying again. She looked at her daughter and sobbed. “Soph, are you… Are you really trying to distance yourself from Mom and Dad?”

“If you hadn’t destroyed the family name, do you think I’ll come to look for you at a place like this?” James interrupted Jenny and looked at Sophia with disgust on his face. He said firmly, “I’ll say this now. You have to leave this place and get out of B City. You may never come back to this place ever again!”

Jenny’s tears hung onto her eyelashes. She tugged on James’ sleeve. “It’ll be fine as long as Soph leaves this place. Why do you want her to leave B City? She’s only 20! She only has a high school diploma. If you chase her out of B City, how will she survive?”

“Where there is a kind mother, there is a useless child!” James glared at her. “She’s like this because you’re used to coddling her unconditionally!”

Jenny did not dare to say anything anymore. She only sobbed quietly at one side.

“Sophia, do you hear me?” James looked at Sophia again. He was looking at her like she was something filthy.

Megan clenched her fists. She wanted to speak up for Sophia, but she was scared of offending the Whites. She hesitated for a while.

Sophia laughed. There was sarcasm in her eyes. “I’m not one of you anymore. You have no business interfering with what I do and where I do it, Mr. White. Plus, you don’t own B City, so who are you to ask me to leave?”

When Jenny saw that James was getting angry again, she was worried about his body. She went up to him and said, “Soph, you’re a girl, and you’re working in a club. Do you know what everyone’s saying about you? Listen to me and leave this place, okay?”

She was advising Sophia, but there was disagreement in her eyes. There was even criticism and anger as well.

At the end of the day, her opinion about Sophia working in Dream Club was the same as James’. They thought their daughter was embarrassing. She was just beating around the bush.

Sophia looked at the two of them. Anger, dejection, and pain were all coursing through her veins. It was as if they would burst out of her veins in the next second and escape her body.

She laughed at herself. She felt resentful and helpless. “If Charles wasn’t using the Whites to threaten me, do you think I want to stay in a place like this?”

She knew she should not be hopeful toward her parents, but there was still a hint of wishful thinking when she was looking at them.

What if they came to their senses and began to regret what they did to her after knowing the truth?

Even though the chances were slim, but… they were still her parents after all. What if… What if there was still some familial love between them?

“You’re hopeless!” James pointed at her. His face was purple from anger. His body was trembling uncontrollably. “How can a person like you suffer for us? You only know how to ask money from us and expect us to clean up after you when you get into trouble!

“You only came to Dream Club after you got out of prison because you can’t go back to us, have no money, and you can’t find any work. That’s why you came here to make some fast money! And now you’re saying you’re doing all these for us? You’re just a liar!”

That statement poured over Sophia’s head like a bucket of cold water. She was standing in her dorm, but she felt like she was standing in the cold in wet clothes. Her entire body was cold, and there was no ounce of warmth in her.
