Jack could not believe it. The seductive woman in front of him was really a scientist!

Maria opened the door of the car and got in, which prompted Jack to go into the driver's seat in a hurry.

A second later, Sophie also entered the car and sat next to Maria.

“Uhm.."" Jack did not know what to say.

“We're going home, Jack," Maria ordered.

Jack nodded wordlessly. He then started the car and stepped on the gas pedal. He drove steadily to Anthony's villa.

He glanced at Sophie through the rearview mirror from time to time, wondering if the woman would really come to the villa with them.

If she was really Maria's friend, Anthony would definitely not refuse to let her in. However, it still seemed inappropriate because no one actually invited Sophie to go home with them.

An hour later, the car was nearing its destination. They were almost at Anthony's villa.

“Stop the car. I'm going out first," Sophie suddenly ordered.

Startled, Jack stepped on the brakes abruptly, and the car stopped a few meters away from the entrance of Anthony's villa.

Next, Sophie got out of the car and walked to the gate of the villa across from Anthony's.

The said villa was supposed to be unoccupied. It had been for sale for a long time now.

To Jack's surprise, Sophie easily unlocked the gate's smart lock.

“Miss Jenkins, she..."

"Yes, she just bought that villa." After a pause, Maria murmured, "And paid for it with my money."

Jack gaped at her in shock.

With a heavy sound, a contract was slammed in front of Maria.

Sophie came to see her after they returned from No. 1 Research Institute and gave her the contract.

“Maria, sign this," she said this with a smile.

As the owner of the villa, Anthony was also there.

But Sophie ignored him, and Anthony did not seem to care. He just smiled at both her and Maria.

“What is this?" Maria asked.

“The contract I personally made for you."
