?Chapter 922:


    “Of course.”


    Meanwhile, an image capturing Bruce and Corrine’s tense confrontationnded in Leah’s inbox, sent by someone keeping a close watch on Bruce.


    The moment her gaze fell on the picture, the fury she had been suppressing ignited like dry tinder.


    With a sharp exhale, she seized the nearest cup and hurled it against the wall.


    The ceramic shattered on impact, shards scattering across the floor.


    Her hands curled into tight fists, her entire body trembling as icy rage burned in her veins. Her lips twisted into a snarl. “That woman! How dare she unt herself in front of Bruce like this!”


    Sonia entered just in time to witness the destruction. One nce at Leah’s expression and the broken fragments on the floor was enough to grasp the situation.


    She exhaled softly. “Why let yourself be consumed with anger over someone who will not be around for long?”


    “Not be around for long?” Leah let out a bitterugh. “She seems to be thriving. She knows Bruce and I are engaged, yet she still dares to flirt with him behind my back. She is provoking me deliberately!”


    Sonia folded her arms, a knowing glint in her eyes. “Bruce is a fool. In the eyes of the public, you two are engaged, yet he keeps running after that vixen,pletely indifferent to the rumors circling him.”


    Leah took a deep breath, trying to regain herposure. “How are things progressing with my father?”


    Instead of answering immediately, Sonia ced a bowl of soup in front of her and spoke with deliberate patience. “These things take time. Rushing will only leave traces behind. It is better to be careful and make sure nothing can be linked back to us.”


    Leah gave a slow nod, contemting her words. Her gaze flickered to the bowl before her, and she wrinkled her nose in distaste. “Another one of these?”


    ???????????????? ???????????????? ????????: g???????ν????????????


    Sonia had been relentlessly searching for remedies, desperate to help Leah conceive Bruce’s child as soon as possible. But Leah knew her own body better than anyone. No amount of health supplements would change the truth.


    “This is good for you,” Sonia insisted, nudging the bowl closer. “It has cooled down enough. Drink it now. After this, call Bruce. No matter what, make sure you stay with him tonight. That is the only way to keep him under control. Do you understand?”


    A shadow passed over Leah’s eyes. “You think I do not want to? He will not even answer my calls.”


    Sonia’s grip on Leah’s hand tightened, her voice turning coaxing. “Men are prideful. Any man would struggle to ept those photos, especially after you hid something as huge as your past pregnancy from him.” She gave Leah’s hand a reassuring squeeze. “Follow my advice. Swallow your pride and apologize. Besides, as long as Andromache stands behind you, the Ashton family would not dare make a move against you.”


    Bruce was sitting beside Farris’ hospital bed when he received a call from Leah.
