Chapter 9
Best friend widened her eyes, “Aren’t you afraid he’ll hear?”
“What does it matter if he heard? Sophia didn’t care, “Men, as long as they get some sweet talk, they’ll be completely devoted.”
Elodie stood in the shadow of the corner, suddenly wondering what Sebastian’s expression was when he heard those words.
What would the haughty Mr. Malfoy’s reaction be if he knew he was being treated as a backup plan?
Sebastian, this is the person you loved with all your heart.
She smirked, turned around and left without alerting anyone inside.
After leaving the club, she went straight to the cemetery.
Elodie knelt in front of her mother’s tombstone, gently wiping away the dust from the photo.
“Mom, I got married. It was to the Watson family’s vegetable man… He’s pretty good, at least he won’t cheat.”
The wind blew over the white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone, as if in silent response.
“Don’t worry, I won’t be like you, she said as she ran her fingers over the cold stone monument. “To love someone to the point of giving up your life, that’s just foolish. I will live this life well, very well.“”
As the sky darkened, Elodie stood up, took one last look at her

mother’s photo, and then turned and left.
When she got back, Elodie spent the whole evening packing up her luggage.
Clothes, jewelry, photo albums…
She sorted through everything, preparing herself for the fact that they would never come back.

When the sky just beginning to light up, the phone vibrated.
2 billion dollars was credited to the account.
Shortly after, David’s phone rang: “The Watson family is getting impatient, you must leave today. 2 billion dollars has been given to you, as for Sebastian…
“I will have him go to the Rowland’s residence, Elodie interrupted him, “From today on, he is Sophia’s bodyguard, I don’t want him anymore.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then David suddenly softened his tone and said, “Elodie, Dad has always loved you and your mom…
“In the past, I only thought you were morally corrupt, Elodie laughed, “Now I realize, you are truly disgusting.”
She hung up the phone and immediately blocked the number.
Outside the door, the moving company’s truck had already arrived.
When Elodie was directing the workers to move the luggage, Sebastian happened to come out of the room.
“Ms. Elodie, what is this? he frowned, looking at the floor covered

with boxes.”
“Moving. Elodie didn’t even look up. “Just changing places to live.”
Sebastian nodded, seemingly not thinking much about it, let alone imagining that the move she mentioned was from Houston to New
York.
“I helped you.”
“No need, she finally looked at him, “you have other tasks.”
“What?”
“Go buy a bag of sugar–roasted chestnuts now and deliver it to the Rowland family for Sophia.”
Sebastian was clearly stunned: “Why?”
“You’ll know once you go.”
She saw his Adam’s apple bobbing, and a hint of emotion flickered in those always cold eyes.
But in the end, the desire to see Sophia overcame the doubts.
Sebastian remembered something else: “Ms. Elodie, send me your new address after you move. I’ll come over later to clean up.”
24–hour personal bodyguard, had to eat and live with her, ensuring her safety at all times.
This was the contract they signed at that time.
But this time, Elodie did not answer.
He waited for a while, seeing that she really had no intention of paying

attention to him, so he could only think that maybe she wanted to wait a while before leaving directly.
When he reached the front gate, he faintly heard her say something.
“What? he turned around.”
Elodie stood in the morning light and whispered, “It’s nothing, let’s go.”
She waited until his figure had completely disappeared before getting into the car and telling the driver, “Airport.”
The scenery outside the car window was rapidly retreating. She took out her phone, removed the SIM card, and gently snapped it in half.
“Click.”
The card was torn in half and casually thrown out of the window by her, then disappeared completely!
