Chapter 266
“Mr. Bennett, how do you explain Sophia’s messy personal life? Was her image all a lie? Is she really this promiscuous behind closed doors?”
“Why are you deliberately framing Odalys? Do you think this situation has anything to do with her?”
“Do you have a personal vendetta against Odalys? Why are you constantly targeting her? We need an explanation.”
“Is this the first time Sophia has hooked up with a man?”
“Why are you promoting her so much? Do you think she’s some kind of bitch?”
The reporters crowded in, causing members of the Bennett family to explode in anger. Caspian hurriedly pushed Hannah into the car.
At that moment, Hannah had lost her previous calculation and glared bitterly at Odalys from a distance.
She hadn’t expected this outcome. She never thought that Sophia would be mixing with a man like this.
In the past, Sophia would come home right after work, and when she didn’t have any shoots, she’d stay home, never out socializing. Hannah had thought that Sophia was still a virgin, never imagining that she…
“Mom…” Caspian saw Hannah slowly close her eyes and quickly called out to her.
“Take her to the hospital. Get her some morning–after pills. If she’s pregnant, things will get even worse,” Hannah said tiredly.
Sophia’s future was completely ruined.
Before, she just had some haters, but now, she was finished.
Atlas sat in the driver’s seat, silently gripping the steering wheel. Sophia’s image had shattered completely at that moment. He had no choice but to believe it.
“Why is it like this? Someone must have drugged her.” Atlas gritted his teeth.
Caspian, sitting in the back, felt like Atlas had completely lost it. The night before, Caspian had already warned Atlas, but Atlas still had to interfere. “Does she look like someone who’s been drugged? She was completely lucid.” Caspian retorted.
They all froze.
The live broadcast couldn’t be shut off. Henry, with a firm resolve, shoved the phone into a nearby drawer, cutting off all visuals.
“Let’s go home,” Henry said tiredly. He didn’t want to say another word.
Now, he was starting to doubt himself. It felt like no matter what they did, it was always wrong, and something bad would eventually happen. Henry had once favored Sophia, but now he even wondered if he had been wrong about her all along.
Before, to protect Sophia from being bullied, Henry had deliberately suppressed Odalys. But now, Odalys seemed to be thriving.
Henry felt disoriented. Obviously, nothing had changed, yet everything had.
Everything was different now. He looked at Sophia in the back seat, her eyes swollen and red from crying, and felt an overwhelming urge to scream at her.
“Why are you even here?” Henry asked coldly.
The car instantly went silent. Sophia, unable to cry anymore, looked at Henry’s darkened face, his eyes seeming like they were going to swallow her whole.
She quickly turned her head away, her eyes flickering, biting her lip.
“I” Sophia panicked.
She had pretended to faint earlier, never expecting Henry to call her out.
“Odalys invited me out. I didn’t think she’d set me up like this. Henry, it was Sophia who tried to hurt me.” Sophia lied in a panic.
As long as Henry didn’t verify it, the lie wouldn’t be exposed.

Henry let out a hoarse laugh, rubbing his brow. He, who had always been calm, suddenly shouted in anger, “You’re full of crap. Odalys invited you?”
Henry’s voice was filled with fury, as though he was about to unload all his pent–up frustration. “She just came to the Bennett Villa last night to slap you. After that, she left.
“Do you even know who was waiting for her outside the Bennett Villa last night? That limited–edition Cayenne was a Stewart family exclusive luxury car. She was picked up by them.
“She invited you? Why? Today, her new company is opening. It’s packed. But you’re here, having sex with that man?”
It was as if he wanted to vent all his recent frustrations at once.
Sophia was stunned by his shouting, so much so that she forgot to cry.
“Henry, I…” Sophia bit her lip, looking at him in disbelief.
This was the first time Henry had yelled at her.
‘How could he yell at me and even defend Odalys? Now I’ve been assaulted, but no one in the Bennett family is speaking up for me, not even standing up for me,‘ Sophia wondered.
“Odalys is married into the Stewart family and has a backer now, so you all don’t love me anymore? I’m the victim here, but why is everyone doubting me?” Sophia’s voice broke with emotion.
Henry laughed bitterly as he listened.
He cursed loudly. “Victim? Do you think I’m an idiot? You were clearly enjoying it at the time. Were you trying to tell everyone what you were doing?
“Do you want me to replay the video for you? Or do you think the Bennett family hasn’t suffered enough because of you?”
Atlas, driving, was shaking. He couldn’t tell if it was panic or anger.
“Enough,” Hannah suddenly spoke up.
Hannah seemed emotionally detached, neither angry nor upset. It almost felt like even if Sophia really had been assaulted, Hannah wouldn’t care.
Perhaps, after last night, when Hannah made her decision to climb the Stewart family’s ranks, she had completely discarded Sophia.
“Hospital? Do you think they’ll admit her?” Henry sneered.
Sophia’s tears fell in a steady stream.
Of all three brothers, Henry had spoiled her the most, so all the Bennett family’s resources were directed toward her.
Now, Henry was the only one who didn’t believe her.
“The internet is filled with shameful news about Sophia now. How is the Bennett family going to hold its ground? Mom, you said today would be a turning point for the Bennett family. What now? We’ve hit rock bottom,” Henry continued.
Only Caspian remained silent. He turned his head to look out the car window, his mind replaying the scenes from today.
In that fleeting moment, Caspian caught a glimpse of Sophia’s chest, partially exposed. He swallowed hard and asked, “Was he your first?”
“I…” Sophia didn’t expect Caspian to ask such a question.
Her face flushed a deep red, and memories from her childhood flooded her mind.
Alden could never have been her first. Her first time had been in a storage room at the Bennett Villa. Thinking about it, Sophia lowered her gaze and fell silent.
Atlas drove toward the hospital.
He thought they would refuse to admit Sophia, but to his surprise, she was immediately given a room. They even conducted an examination, and the results came quickly. There were signs of tearing in her lower body.
“Was she a virgin?” Henry suddenly asked.
The nurse glanced down at the report and said, “We didn’t find any evidence of a torn hymen, so it doesn’t seem like it’s her first time.”

“If you want to repair her hymen, I suggest she wait until her body has recovered, then schedule surgery.” The nurse handed him the medical report
and left.
Henry took the report, and the nurse’s words kept echoing in his ears.
With a loud slap, he struck his own face.
‘What kind of jerk have I been protecting? I used to think she was pure and sweet, that she wasn’t secretly seeing men. Even when she seduced me before, I endured it, he wondered.
Now, Henry realized she wasn’t even a virgin.
