Some even started questioning:
—I really don’t understand Henry. How could he not want such an amazing woman like Sophia and instead choose Kim and Olivia? What was he thinking?
—I only have respect for Henry. He was able to look at Sophia and still act indifferent. And then he actually let her go? His eyes must be slanted!
—Thank you, Henry, for giving up Doctor. On behalf of Livinus, I appreciate your sacrifice.
—Sophia is so inspiring! Think about it—she got divorced with a terrible hand, but she turned it into a winning one. She now has a handsome, rich husband, an endless supply of wealth, a prestigious in-law family, and incredible professional skills. Even high-ranking officials and hospital directors seek her for treatment. She’s truly the type of woman we all aspire to be.
—The way she fixed the fetal position? That was beyond cool!
—I have officially turned gay for her.

Meanwhile, Sophia had no idea that the online discourse had completely shifted in her favor.
In truth, she didn’t care about any of it. Whether people liked or disliked her had no impact on her life.
What she did care about, however, was that Livinus hadn’t shown up to support her today.
Where was he?
Lately, he seemed extremely busy. Busy enough that she had started overthinking things.
Was he hiding something from her?
The competition ended, and as expected, Sophia won the gold medal.
But because Livinus wasn’t there, she felt like there was no one to share her joy with, leaving her somewhat disappointed.
In this world, she only had a few friends like Chloe and Nancy. And her only boyfriend was Livinus.
She really wanted to share this moment with him.
She called him several times, but none of the calls went through.
Then she called Joanna, who hesitated before saying,
“I don’t know exactly what President Scott is up to… but I think I heard something about him being with a woman…”
Joanna seemed to realize he had said the wrong thing and suddenly stopped speaking.
Sophia frowned. “Joanna, tell me the truth. What exactly has he been so busy with lately?”
Joanna sighed and finally said helplessly, “I’ll tell you, but don’t get mad. I heard that the old master still doesn’t approve of your relationship, so he’s been arranging blind dates for President Scott. Since the old master’s health isn’t great, President Scott didn’t want to upset him and had no choice but to go along with it.”
“Where is he now?”
“He’s at the Savory Haven Restaurant on the top floor of Grimhold Tower.”
“Savory Haven Restaurant?” Sophia’s frown deepened. This was one of the most upscale restaurants in the city, famous for being at the top of the tallest building. She had mentioned to Livinus several times that she wanted to dine there, but due to their busy schedules, they never had the chance.
And now?
He was there—with another woman.
Sophia would be lying if she said she wasn’t angry. She had always thought she wouldn’t care about such a cliché situation. If a man cheated on her, she wouldn’t even hesitate—she would immediately dump him and move on. There would be no begging, no drama.
But now, an inexplicable fury ignited in her heart.
She sped towards Grimhold Tower, her car slicing through the city streets like a blade.
When Chloe and Nancy heard the news, they rushed over and stopped her at the entrance of the building.
“Sophia, don’t act impulsively! You and Livinus need to talk things through. There’s nothing that can’t be resolved,” Chloe said anxiously.
“There’s nothing to talk about.” Sophia’s voice was cold and resolute. She didn’t believe in rumors or speculation. She only needed one answer—his answer.
If he confirmed it, she wouldn’t cling to him for even a second.
As for the child…
She would give birth and raise it alone.
“Sophia…” Nancy looked worried. “Don’t go up there! What if you see that woman? It won’t be good for you! Look at you—you’re pregnant. You can’t let this stress affect you!”
Sophia calmly pushed her aside.
“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”
The elevator quickly reached the top floor. The doors slid open.
And there he was.
Livinus sat elegantly at a dining table, across from a petite, delicate-looking girl who had a gentle smile on her face. She seemed to be enjoying herself immensely.
Sophia walked straight up to him, standing over him, her gaze piercing.
“Livinus!”
Livinus was always meticulous in his appearance. He preferred simple yet exquisite outfits, usually suits. But even though he always wore formal attire, today’s outfit was unlike anything she had ever seen him in before—a perfectly tailored black tailcoat that made him look like a nobleman from another era.
The sharp fit accentuated his already tall and commanding frame, making him seem even more powerful. The rigid, intimidating air around him softened just a fraction, replaced by an inexplicable regal charm.
His brows furrowed in surprise. “Sophia? What are you doing here?”
“What do you think?” Sophia’s voice was icy. “I was competing in the Traditional Medicine Championship, and you didn’t come to support me. I thought you must be handling something important, so I didn’t disturb you.
But this?
Your ‘important business’ is going on blind dates with other women?”
Livinus didn’t deny it.
