Again, Sofia said nothing. Instead, she turned towards Lawrence, her gaze blank. “A car is already waiting for me outside.” Then she slowly pushed him away and left the mansion without saying another word.

The moment she got out of the mansion, she immediately saw the black Volvo waiting for her. She got into the Volvo, and the car immediately left. the mansion.
