When Sophia went to greet Joe, Sam suddenly stood up and strode across. He looked at her coldly and said, “Since you have a guest, I will get going now.”
“Huh? Aren’t you going to stay a bit longer, Master Sam? At least have something to eat before you leave!”
Unfortunately, Sam left apathetically without eating anything.
He feared that he might want to kill Joe if he saw him.
However, Sam did not even spare him one look and continued to walk ahead.
Joe did not call him out for it, nor did he dare to continue talking to him. He simply headed to Villa No. 8 with Faye.
Sophia did not have any intention to meet Joe and Faye. Originally, she was going to act with filial piety in front of Sam. But, now that Sam was gone, she could not bring herself to put up the act any longer. When she saw Joe, she asked coldly, “What do you want?”
Joe’s eyes were barely visible on his smiling face now. All that could be seen was a dramatic set of gold teeth.
He snickered. “Sophia, my daughter. I have good news for you!”
Faye was also smiling with bright eyes. “It’s actually great news. I promise you won’t regret it after you hear it!”
Sophia stared at them coldly.
Even though they had not seen each other in a while, Joe was still fat. On the other hand, Faye seemed to have changed. She looked kinder and more like Sophia.
Faye thought Sophia had nice eyes the first time they met each other. Since she needed to get her nose fixed after she got punched in the face, she decided to also get her eyes done so they looked similar to Sophia’s.
This time, she even got her mouth done to look like Sophia.
Every time Sophia saw Faye, she felt goosebumps all over. “Get out. I don’t want to see either of you. Please get out of my sight in three seconds.”
Then, she turned around and left the two of them outside the big metal gate.
When Joe saw that she was leaving, he quickly shouted, “It’s the Edwards Family. They have their eyes on your husband, Taylor Murray. They want him as their son-in-law!”
Sophia stopped in her tracks abruptly.
At this point, Joe did not try to build suspense anymore. With a flushed face, he said, “You’re going to make it big. The Edwards have their eyes on Taylor! As long as you divorce him, you will automatically be put on their family registry and be set up with someone even better than Taylor!”
The way Joe saw it; Taylor might be rich but he still did not compare to the Edwards Family. He was only an actor. Being favored by the young lady of the Edwards Family was the result of the good fortune he had earned in his previous life.
“This is such a good opportunity. As long as you divorce Taylor, the Edwards Family will fulfill their promise! This is your only chance! The moment you agree, you will get everything other people can only dream of. Our whole family will be indebted to you!”
Joe could not wait for Taylor and Sophia to get divorced. That way, he could gain so much more from the Edwards Family. Moreover, he was also doing Taylor a tremendous favor. What man in this world would reject the chance of becoming the rich son-in-law of the Edwards Family? Perhaps once Taylor was happy, he would destroy the overdue materials Joe had left with him.
After listening to the whole thing, however, Sophia did not even look back as she said, “That’s such good news. You should go by yourself, Dad.”
Joe could not believe that Sophia had declined this great opportunity. Seeing that his chance to get into the Edwards Family was slowly slipping away, he berated, “Sophia! You have to think through this properly. Lucy Edwards, the young lady of the Edwards Family, is the one who has her eyes on your husband! You know just as well whether you can keep him or not! She is the Lucy Edwards. Do you think you can go up against her? If you give in now, you still have such a great opportunity waiting for you! If you still can’t think straight, then don’t say I didn’t warn you when you lose both Taylor and all your wealth on the day he divorces you!”
Thud!
Sophia slammed the door shut and locked loudmouth Joe outside. She did not want to hear a single sound from him.
I’m going to be a mother soon!
She did not have any parents when she was born and had a hard life growing up. I’m never going to let my child follow in my footsteps. Never!
