"Let go of me!"
Horn Cromwell roared.
However, under Gerrard's gay suppression, he was instead dragged away from Zuo Yi.
There was no doubt that although Gerrard did not look as tall and strong as Horn Cromwell, he had steadily surpassed the latter in terms of strength.
"You don't need to know who this gentleman is …"
Sophie looked at Gerrard coldly and said, "You only need to know that you've just done something stupid!"
She knew her brother's temperament very well.
Sophie Lauren had the title of "Rose of Szeth," while Gerrard Lauren was known as "Fox of Szeth." A fox was suspicious and cautious, unlike the reckless and brainless boar Horn Cromwell.
She would not tell him Zuo Yi's true identity!
"We're just concerned about you …"
Gerrard emphasized again, and a devilish smile appeared on his face again.
He held Horn Cromwell's arm tightly with his left hand, pressed his right hand to his chest, and gracefully bowed to Zuo Yi. "Sir, please forgive our offense."
Although there was a possibility that Sophie was bluffing and deliberately exaggerating Zuo Yi's identity, Gerrard thought that the possibility was very small, so he wisely chose to retreat.
In fact, he had followed Horn Cromwell here to act as a firewall to prevent the situation from worsening.
Most importantly, Gerrard could not see through Zuo Yi's background at all, otherwise he would not have jumped out now.
At the very least, he had to let Horn Cromwell vent his anger and suppress his sister's arrogance at the same time.
In the end, it seemed that he had been slapped in the face …
Gerrard touched his face and felt quite good.
But Zuo Yi ignored Gerrard, although he was also an Extraordinary. He said to Sophie, "Miss Lauren, thank you for your hospitality. I have to go."
He also ignored the struggling Horn Cromwell beside him and walked away, stepping on the white gloves that Horn Cromwell had just thrown on the floor.
Sophie said without hesitation, "I'll send you off."
She glanced coldly at her brother and Horn Cromwell, then followed Zuo Yi and left with her head held high.
"Don't go!"
Horn Cromwell was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged. He tried his best to break free from Gerrard's control. "Let go of me!"
Gerrard turned to look at him and sighed.
"This guy is an idiot!"
Walking out of the restaurant, Sophie apologized to Zuo Yi, "Mr. Zuo Yi, thank you for your magnanimity."
Horn Cromwell had offended Zuo Yi first, and had even taken the initiative to challenge Zuo Yi to a duel. With Zuo Yi's status and strength, even if he killed the other party on the spot, the Cromwell family could only swallow their anger.
However, she would definitely incur the wrath of the Cromwell family, which would affect the relationship between the two families.
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "It's nothing."
It was mainly because of Sophie that Zuo Yi didn't make a move on Horn Cromwell. Otherwise, even if there were ten of him, he wouldn't be able to crush them with one finger.
At that moment, a black Rolls-Royce drove over and stopped steadily in front of the two of them.
Sophie opened the door and smiled. "I'll take you back to the hotel."
Zuo Yi waved his hand and said, "I'm going to the airport. I've already booked a ticket back to China in the afternoon."
Sophie insisted, "Then I'll take you to the airport."
Zuo Yi hesitated for a moment and didn't refuse her kindness. "Okay, thank you."
But he still had something else. "My rental car is parked there. I'll have to trouble you to send someone to send it back to Greyhound Car Rental."
Cesar was the capital of Orson, so of course there was a branch of Greyhound Car Rental. However, Zuo Yi had drunk at noon, so he couldn't drive there himself.
He didn't lack the deposit, but this involved the issue of integrity.
"It's my honor to be of service to you."
Sophie took the key from Zuo Yi with a smile and said, "Don't worry."
Zuo Yi, of course, took the Rolls-Royce with ease and followed her to Cesar International Airport.
On the way to the airport, Sophie told Zuo Yi about Horn and the Cromwell family, which could be considered an implicit explanation.
Cromwell was the sworn family of the Continental Extraordinary Federation — Flaming Cross. There were only a total of seventeen such families in the Continental Continent, and Orson, the country with the largest land area and the largest population, only had two.
Therefore, the Cromwell family not only had great influence in Flaming Cross, but also in Orson. Members of their family held high positions in the political and business world, and their strength greatly surpassed the Roland family.
As a member of the Roland family, although Sophie was very disgusted with Horn Cromwell, she couldn't just watch him jump off the cliff.
"Actually, Horn wasn't like this in the past …"
Horn was the second successor of the Cromwell family. An ancient family like the Cromwell family spared no expense in the cultivation and education of their direct descendants. Horn Cromwell was very outstanding when he was young. He was a gentle and polite gentleman, completely different from the irascible gorilla he was now.
His change stemmed from his awakening. With the appearance and strengthening of his extraordinary ability, his temper became worse and worse.
Very early on, the Roland family had the intention to let Sophie and Horn Cromwell marry each other. Horn Cromwell liked Sophie very much, and Sophie also had a good impression of the young Horn Cromwell.
However, the extraordinary awakening changed everything. Sophie couldn't like the current Horn anymore.
She was also very resistant to the family's arrangement and was unwilling to sacrifice her lifelong happiness for the family's marriage.
However, Horn Cromwell was still infatuated with her and had been pursuing her bitterly.
This morning, Zuo Yi came to the Polaris headquarters to look for Sophie, and the scene of Sophie personally sending him off fell into the eyes of many people. At noon, she had a meal with Zuo Yi alone. Horn Cromwell obviously got the news and came looking for trouble out of jealousy.
"I helped Candice not only because we are good friends," Sophie said frankly.
"I understand the feeling of being forced by others, and I hate it very much!" Sophie said to Zuo Yi calmly.
She could empathize with Gu Yunxi's experience.
Zuo Yi nodded and said, "Miss Roland, if you encounter any trouble that you can't solve in the future, you can look for me."
The Cromwell family might be an insurmountable mountain to Sophie, but to him, it was just a castle built on the beach, something that could be easily destroyed.
"Mm."
Sophie smiled sweetly. The joy from the bottom of her heart made her blossoming beauty particularly dazzling.
The Rolls-Royce arrived at the Sisys International Airport. Zuo Yi declined Sophie's request to accompany him. He took Da Xia Airlines' international flight back to China at around three in the afternoon.
