At the banquet venue, Sophia was listening to Cooper and Linus talk about announcing their engagement and turning the banquet into their engagement banquet as well. After all, they were all present and members of the Michel Family had also come tonight.
Furthermore, marriage and divorce among celebrities were a common occurrence. For the time being, Sophia would be engaged to Linus. After some time, when the opportunity came, they could break off their engagement, and she and Michael could remarry. It was all the same. In the end, she would only have two marriage certificates.
As for Linus, this marriage was his chance to become a real member of the Michel Family.
When she watched Cooper and Linus discuss the details, however, she was suddenly seized with terror.
She would have felt less burdened if they had just signed the papers, but they were making their engagement public now. It was not the same anymore!
She was the main subject at the banquet tonight. Those that came today were all people that she invited and a lot of them were business partners she met through Michael.
She felt so ashamed.
People were whispering and giving strange looks from every corner of the venue. Sophia took a look around and saw that everyone was pointing at her.
With the Michel Family present, however, she could not oppose on the spot and could only force a smile.
What should I do? What should I do?
They were going to make the announcement soon, but she still felt conflicted.
No! I can’t do this!
She wanted to take it back.
Having a fake marriage was fine, but making it public was not!
After making her decision, she slipped away quietly. I have to stop Cooper and Linus from making the announcement!
At the same time, she could not let Linus find out that she was unwilling to make it public. They had a close relationship, so it was harder to reject him.
She snuck off toward the lounge room where she saw Joel bring Stanley earlier.
Close the door and let the stupid dog out so he can ruin this engagement banquet!
But, before she reached the lounge area, she saw a spiteful pair of eyes glaring at her from the corner.
She looked in that direction and found Sandra sitting there. Her cold and deadly eyes were staring at Sophia, blatantly expressing her jealousy and anger. She looked like she was just itching to pounce on Sophia.
Sophia came to a halt and a light flashed across her eyes. Shortly after, she was smiling brightly and skipping over to Sandra with an air of confidence.
“Miss Mitchell, what are you doing here by yourself? I’m going to announce my engagement with Linus soon. Aren’t you going to watch?”
She hugged her arms and lifted her chin slightly with a smug smile on her face.
Sandra tightened her grip on the wine glass so much that the red wine inside of it started to form ripples from the quiver in her hand. Her threatening eyes were red, making her look like a mad beast. Her teeth were clenched and she looked like she wanted to drink Sophia’s blood.
Once Sophia was done flaunting, she intentionally swayed as she left and even seductively twisted her small waist. She could not get any more arrogant.
Sandra’s burning jealousy had taken over her rationality.
Why does she get to be engaged to Linus? He’s mine!
Linus can only belong to me.
Marrying Linus was not just marrying him alone. It was getting the power and influence of the Michel Family too. Linus was the Vice President of the Michel Group. If nothing out of the ordinary happened, he would be the sole head of the Michel Family and Michel Group!
All of that would belong to Sandra. She was not going to allow Sophia to take away everything that belonged to her!
I can’t let Sophia and Linus get engaged! I have to stop this engagement banquet!
