Only she can handle them.
I sincerely pleaded: “Can you keep them under control and tell them to stop bothering
me?”
But Sophia Lin thought I was challenging her.
She rolled her eyes like she’d heard a joke and sneered: “Are you dreaming? They only have eyes for me. Why would they actively seek you out? Stop being delusional!”
But right after she finished speaking, Ryan Chen came looking for me.
And he did it right in front of her.
He hadn’t slept for two days and had bloodshot eyes.
He’d been beaten pretty badly too – his face was swollen like a pig’s head and his arm
He looked quite ridiculous.
When he saw me, he gritted his teeth.
He rushed over and grabbed my arm, not even noticing Sophia Lin next to me.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at me with a fierce yet pained expression.
He said frantically: “Do you have any heart at all?! Aren’t eight of us enough for you? How could you go after my dad too?! Tell me, when did you and him start?”
I stared at him silently, at a loss for words.
I seriously pondered why Sophia Lin’s eight devoted admirers seemed just as unhinged
as her.
How could anyone actually believe what I said as a random retort?
Ryan Chen stared at me painfully for a long while before finally compromising: “Fine, keep my little brother. I’ll raise him. As long as you behave from now on, I can pretend nothing happened.”
I was shocked and greatly alarmed.
Does your dad know about this?!
Meanwhile, Sophia Lin standing next to me had turned pale.
Then she seemed to think of something and put on a kind, understanding smile:
“Ryan, I’m right here. Did you mistake her for someone else?”
Ryan Chen was taken aback: “Sophia, why are you here?”
His words made it clear he hadn’t mistaken me for her.
The smile froze on Sophia Lin’s face.

The smile froze on Sophia Lin’s face.
Because Sophia Lin was there, Ryan Chen didn’t pester me further that day.
Things quieted down for two days after that.
I thought my conversation with Sophia Lin had worked.
She really had kept them away.
But on the third day, all eight of them angrily showed up at my doorstep again.
Jack Thompson said coldly: “What did you say to Sophia? Why did she cry all night after going home?”

Ethan Brooks said expressionlessly: “I’m warning you, don’t use your scheming tricks on Sophia. She’s different from you a poor person who grew up in the slums and only cares about money. She’s been pampered since childhood, pure and kind. When we were young, she even risked her life to save us without a thought for her own safety. We all owe her our lives. No matter what, she’ll always be the person I care about most. I can never allow anyone to hurt her.”
Ryan Chen gritted his teeth: “I thought you might struggle raising a child alone, so I was planning to keep you by my side even after I married and had kids. I never imagined you’d have such vicious thoughts. If you dare do anything to Sophia, I’ll make you regret it for
life!”
Ex–boyfriend number four laughed coldly: “Don’t think we eight have any special regard for you. I’ve found out the truth – you’re not even pregnant. Hah, just a little trick to catch
and release.”
really wanted to applaud him.
Such high intelligence did that really need investigating?
Ex–boyfriend number five ranted: “Not only did you juggle eight guys, you even have such vicious thoughts. You’re not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as the pure Sophia! How dare you try to bully her? Did you think people wouldn’t get angry just because

the vicious thoughts. You’re not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as pure Sophia! How dare you try to bully her? Did you think people wouldn’t get angry just because they didn’t show it? You’re treating everyone like fools!”
Numbers six, seven and eight also took turns berating and cursing at me.
I sighed, speechless.
I get it, your one true love is Sophia Lin. I don’t even compare to a single strand of her hair.
But I really didn’t want to get involved in your relationships!
I sincerely believe you nine are a perfect match, meant to be togeth
