Chapter 439
Sophie pulled out a piece of gum from her pocket and tore the packaging open slowly before popping it into her
mouth.
“How is Mark Wheeler related to you?” she asked.
They took Mark away, so she was sure he was somehow related to them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed
them willingly.
The men shared a look when they heard Mark's name.
In the end, they insisted, “We don't know what you're talking about. Who is Mark Wheeler?”
“Looks like you won't reveal anything if I don't teach you a lesson, huh?” As Sophie chewed her gum, she
approached the men.
“Young lady, don't come any closer. Otherwise, don't blame us for taking action.”
“Bring it!” Sophie responded casually.
She then delivered a roundhouse kick and sent a burly brute crashing to the ground.
“Guys, attack!”
They were all members of a gang, so it was embarrassing if they were defeated by a young lady.
Nevertheless, Sophie managed to defeat them all without breaking a sweat.
She then dusted her hands and stood before them.
“Spill the beans. As long as you tell the truth, I won't make things difficult for you,” Sophie announced. She was
never a patient person, and at that moment, all her patience was gone.
“We don't know what you're talking about. Mark Wheeler? I don't know who he is!” one of the thugs insisted.
Sophie frowned. “Are you sure?” She gave him one last chance to spill the truth.
“I don't know anything!”
Sophie strode over, grabbed the thug's wrist, and gave it a forceful twist, causing him to yelp in anguish.
He broke into a cold sweat. “Have mercy on me,” he begged.

“Do you really not know who Mark Wheeler is?” she demanded. Something is fishy.
“We don't know who he is. We're just ordinary thugs.” These thugs knew nothing as they were at the lowest level of
the hierarchy in the gang. They merely received orders from their superiors to stop Sophie.
They had no idea Sophie was this strong.
As the thug seemed to be telling the truth, Sophie released her grip on his wrist.
“I hope you're telling the truth. If I discover you'd been lying, I won't let this slide,” she cautioned.
Though she was quite a good-looking young lady, her words sent a chill down those thugs' spines.
Afterward, she spun on her heels and returned to the car.
Sunny's call arrived the moment she got into the car.
“Sophie, are you okay? Where are you?” Sunny asked anxiously. “Tell me. Did something happen to you?”
“I'm fine. I'll keep the car for now and drive it back to the company to return it to you tomorrow,” Sophie assured
him.
Something's wrong. How is Mark related to Emerald Gang?
Sophie wasn't going to give up since she finally found a clue.
“The car isn't important. You can use it if you need it,” came Sunny's answer. As long as she was safe and sound,
nothing else mattered.
“Okay. I'll hang up now.”
With that, Sophie hung up without even giving Sunny a chance to speak. After that, she promptly called Mark.
Just as she had expected, Mark's phone was switched off.
She tried calling him a few times but to no avail.
After that, she went straight to Wings of Light's headquarters. Butterfly had not seen her for some time and was
delighted at her arrival.
“Why did you come without informing me in advance? Do you miss me?” she asked, reading too much into Sophie's
sudden appearance.
“Of course not. I came here to investigate something,” replied Sophie.
“Oh, I see. I thought you missed me. How could you treat me like that? I helped you take care of Wings of Light, but
you didn't even come and visit in your free time!” Butterfly complained.
“I came today to visit you while I'm at it, didn't I?” Sophie replied.
Wings of Light was doing well, so there was no reason for her to visit.
“While you're at it? Wow. You're breaking my heart!” Butterfly was close to tears.
“Okay, stop it. Don't disturb me!” Sophie chided.
Switching on the computer in Wings of Light, she entered her account name and password to investigate Mark's
background.
Previously, she had never thought about investigating Mark.
Everyone had their own secrets, so she respected his privacy and never investigated his background.
However, this wasn't a simple matter, so it required a thorough investigation.
As expected, she discovered the truth soon after.
It turned out that Mark was the young heir of Emerald Gang!
Surprisingly, the young heir of Emerald Gang, Mark Wheeler, was extremely popular in the entertainment industry.
The world was indeed a place full of wonders.
After reading the information, Sophie wasn't at all surprised.
She had always felt that Mark wasn't an ordinary person, and her hunch was confirmed.
“What's wrong? What's with that look on your face?” Butterfly was worried.
“I'm fine.” Sophie switched off the computer and rose from her chair to leave.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Butterfly stopped her. “Sophie, are you leaving already? You haven't even taken
a good look at me!” How could she act this way? This is too much!
Sophie turned over her shoulder and spared Butterfly a look.
“Okay, I've looked at you. I'm busy, so I won't stay for a meal.” She then left without looking back.
Butterfly stood rooted to the spot in befuddlement. What the h*ll? Why do I feel like a consort waiting for the
emperor to notice me? My heart feels empty. She really left without looking back!
Meanwhile, Felix also discovered Mark's real identity and came to Tristan. “Mr. Tristan, do you know who Mark
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
Wheeler is?” he asked eagerly.
“Who is he?”
“The young heir of Emerald Gang! Sophie is surrounded by many influential people, huh?” Felix commented. Almost
any one of the people around her was an important figure.
“Oh.” Tristan was surprised to learn that.
He had never connected Mark to Emerald Gang before.
“What does his quitting have to do with his identity? Is he going to take over his father's position in Emerald Gang?”
That could be a possibility.
“Both matters should be related, but I'm not sure about the details,” Felix replied.
“You're useless!” Tristan rolled his eyes.
Felix didn't know what to say in response. He had gone through a lot of trouble digging up the information, but
Tristan still regarded him with disdain. Does he have to be so mean?
“All right. Continue with your investigation,” Tristan finally said.
“Where are you going?” Felix demanded. He had just arrived and didn't even get to take a sip of water, but Tristan
was already leaving.
“Back to Wisteria Apartments,” Tristan told him.
This is important, so I must tell Sophie in person. I wonder how she'll react upon discovering the truth!
“I knew it,” Felix grumbled.
At present, nothing was more important to Tristan than Sophie.
“What's wrong? Won't you be picking Ysabelle up today? She'll probably be practicing until late at night,” Tristan
reminded. Has he given up on Ysabelle?
“Why does she insist on tiring herself out? It's just a debut. There's no need to work so hard,” Felix complained. He
was upset about the fact that Ysabelle was currently focused on her career.
“Let her know your opinion, then,” Tristan returned.
It was useless for him to complain here, for Ysabelle would never hear his complaints.
“I wouldn't dare!” Felix muttered under his breath. Ysabelle was too hot-tempered to listen to his advice.
