Bernard's eyelashes fluttered, as if he was just regaining his senses. His gaze slowly shifted towards Sophie.
In the brief moment their eyes met, Sophie's finger, which was under Bernard’s chin, was snapped! The sound of the joint breaking was crisp and clear.
"Ah—" Sophie screamed in pain as a ripping sensation coursed through her wrist.
Bernard had gripped her wrist and broken it!
Before she could even process the pain, she felt a cold hand gripping her neck.
An immediate sense of suffocation washed over her, and a face filled with malicious joy was turning from red to purple within a second…
If it wasn't for the fact that someone was controlling the chip in his head, Sophie would have been killed by Bernard at that moment.
Sophie had managed to escape when Bernard was agonizingly clutching his head on the floor.
Cupping her neck, she didn't even have time to get up and began to scramble backward awkwardly.
Only after she had put enough distance between them did she hold her broken hand and gasp for air.
By the time she fully recovered, Mr. Ben had entered the room. Perhaps he had heard what she had just said, this time he didn't help her up, only looked at her with disappointment.
Seemingly realizing something, Sophie hurriedly reached for Mr. Ben's hand, "Ben, I was talking nonsense just now, don't believe it. The only person I love now is you."
"Really?" Mr. Ben scoffed and pulled out a knife, throwing it before Sophie, "Then go stab him to prove your loyalty."
Sophie was taken aback. She wanted to use her injured hand as an excuse but saw Mr. Ben glaring at her with bloodshot eyes.
Mr. Ben was a madman; if he found out that she had never really given up on Bernard, he would undoubtedly kill her.
