Sophia no longer wanted to eat because her chest felt tight, and an inexplicable feeling of wanting to cry came again.
Thus, she went back to her room, but she didn’t know that at the end of the corridor, a figure stood in the shadows and watched her go back to the room.
That night, Sophia cried many times and didn’t sleep well at all.
Early morning the next day, there was a knock on her door. Sophia opened the door and saw an extravagantly dressed woman standing at the door. She asked in surprise, “Are you looking for me?”
“Let’s talk.” Vera stared at Sophia, looking a little serious.
“May I know who you are?”
“I’m Emily Jennings’ mother,” Vera revealed her identity directly, then
walked into the bedroom and sat down on the sofa.
Sophia caught her breath. She didn’t expect Emily’s mother to find her in person, but she walked over calmly on crutches. Vera frowned. “What’s wrong with your leg?”
“What’s wrong with my leg? I think your daughter knows best,” Sophia replied calmly.
“What? Don’t blame everything on my daughter. My daughter is going to get married tomorrow. I also know about the past history between you and Young Master Weiss. I hope you don’t cause any trouble and hinder the happiness of my daughter,” Vera bluntly explained her purpose for coming here.
Sophia was of course aware of this. She nodded and said, “Don’t worry! I won’t hinder your daughter’s happiness; I’m just here as one of the guests for the wedding.”
“I looked through the records of the guests, and it seems that you don’t have an invitation. So, how did you come here, and what is your purpose? I should ask the concierge to check it again.”
“No need. I am participating as my boss’ assistant. She is the wife of Young Master Weiss’ best friend,” Sophia explained seriously.
Vera sneered, “Very well! So, there is no place for you at tomorrow’s banquet. You are just a subordinate, so you are not qualified to dine with the other guests, right?”
Sophia couldn’t refute her words, so she nodded. “Yes, so I won’t go to the banquet.”
“How about this? I’ll give you 1 million, and you can go back to your country now. Will you stop affecting my daughter’s wedding here?” Vera wanted to bribe her.
Sophia refused almost immediately. “I’m here this time to accompany my boss on a business trip. I won’t leave early. Mrs. Jennings, you don’t need to bribe me, as I’m not short of 1 million.”
Vera’s face sank. “You don’t know what’s good for you, huh? I’ll tell you clearly now that I want you to leave here today.”
Sophia shook her head. “I can’t agree to that.”
“Let me ask you this. Why do you live in Young Master Weiss’ house if you’re just a low-level subordinate? Moreover, your
room is next door to his?” Vera asked.
Sophia choked. “This is Young Master Weiss’ arrangement, and I don’t know anything about that.”
“I think you are very happy about it, right? Sophia, now everyone knows that you are seducing my future son-in-law. Are you really so shameless? Have you ever respected my daughter? The servants are watching you being intimate with my son-in-law now. It won’t be good for my daughter and my son-in-law’s reputation in the future. You should know better.” Vera looked at her sternly.
Sophia was not afraid at all. Instead, she smiled and replied, “Originally, my legs were well, and I didn’t need Young Master Weiss to carry me. However, your daughter tied me to a runaway horse, and then I fell and injured my legs. Then, I happened to meet Young Master Weiss.
He carried me out of concern for me, so what can I do?”
“You… Shameless brat!” Vera couldn’t help but get angry. She thought Sophia would be easy to deal with, but it seemed that it was not that simple.
Sophia didn’t want to offend her, so she continued, “I can guarantee that I will not hinder your daughter’s happiness. I will go back to my country after attending the wedding, and I will never set foot in this country again.”
Vera narrowed her eyes. Obviously, she didn’t believe it. “Can you really do what you say?”
“I can.” Sophia nodded.
