Rise of The Unknown Billionaire

Chapter 8

Geneva city was a big city which had different parts with different perks and qualities. 

There was a part of the city which belonged to the wealthy and influential in the city, only rich people could live there so the poor and average had no business going there for anything except as a worker. 

Close to the center of the area a mansion stood proudly with a wide compound. The walls of the property wasn't tall in order to show the wealth of the family that lived there. It was a well known mansion in the community. 

In an intricately decorated room of the mansion, Sophia was pacing about with a pensive and annoyed look on her face as she waited for her parents to arrive in the room.

It was evident that she was disturbed about something and she wouldn't rest until something had been done about it. 

"Where the hell are they?" She asked in a flare of voice and action. The maid who was with her got quite scared and shook her head in response to signify that she had no answer. 

Just when Sophia was about to get more pisse at the situation, the doors of the room creaked open to reveal Mr and Mrs Walton as they walked in hand in hand. 

"Oh gods, please. Stop the act, it's disgusting." Sophia irritatedly recoiled at the sight of her parents behaving as though they were in deep affectionate love with one another. 

Her mother frowned in mock displeasure. "You hurt my heart, Sophie. Why say such mean things to your lovely parents?" She asked. 

"That's not why I wanted to see you..." Sophia grumbled. 

"Then what is the matter my flower?" Her father asked in a caring tone like a father who would move mountains for his child.  

"How is your fun husband?" Her mother asked with a mocking smile on her lips. 

Sophia scowled. "I've gotten tired of him so I dumped him." She said. 

"So soon?" Her mother asked. "I thought you would still wait for a little more time." 

"He caught me having a moment with Philip in his house when he went there for a cleaning job so I called it off immediately." She said. 

Her parents were surprised that Sophia had called off the fake marriage so soon. They knew what she had been doing all the while so they just watched on in amusement as she was doing as she wished. 

"Then what seems to be bothering you?" Her father asked from his now seated position. 

Sophia stopped pacing and placed her hands on her waist. 

"I tried to make a scandal about him on the internet to make his career to plummet but someone took it down before it even used an hour." She grumbled. 

"Why would anyone do such a thing for a nobody?" Her mother asked with a perplexed tone. 

"That's what I don't know. What if he's hiding a secret that I don't know about?" Sophia asked. 

As far as she knew, there was no one who should be willing to do such a thing for Ethan because he literally had no friends or family except for the two little kids he usually spoke to at the orphanage. 

Based on the disappearance of the scandal she had set up, Sophia became jealous and upset. 

"Then why don't you try to post it again?" Mr Walton asked. 

"I did! The person keeps taking it down immediately as if to they're watching me!" Sophia protested. 

'So that's it... This is probably not as little as it seems.' Her parents had the same thought at the same time. 

"Don't worry yourself little darling. I will do something about it that will help you to uncover any secret that brat might be hiding." Mr Walton promised his daughter with confidence and assurance in his voice. 

Sophia felt gratified. "Whatever you want to do then do it fast." She said, making her impatience known. 

She had thought she knew everything there was to know about Ethan and she had even made him tell her everything that there was to know about his life. But the unexpected events had made her to suspect him. She didn't like it in any way. 

According to Sophia, Ethan should just be the nice, dumb and naive dude she knew. She didn't even think of him as a man. 

Mr Walton stood up immediately and made his move. He went out of the room without his wife and called one of his assistants and conveyed some orders to him. While Mrs Walton stared at her daughter with a contemplative gaze. 

"Oh Sophia, you look like you have been through a lot of suffering, your skin is looking pake and you look so malnourished." She complained. 

"It's Ethan's fault." Sophia replied. "That guy can't even take care of himself. I had to use my own money to take care of myself every time he wasn't around. Can you imagine the suffering?" She almost broke out in tears as she pinned all the blame on Ethan. 

The made who stood at the side of the room sighed inwardly as she was annoyed. In her own eyes there was nothing wrong with Sophia. She hadn't even changed a bit. 

'I pity poor Ethan. Why did he have to encounter such a bitch?' She inwardly felt sad for him but she kept quiet as she didn't want any trouble. 

"I'm so sorry dear. Sorry you had to go through that." Sophia's mother tried to console her. "You were the one who wanted to play around so I allowed you because your father agreed to it.

Just hold on for a little while okay? Rest well and eat to your heart's content." Her mother said. 

"What will dad do about him?" Sophia asked her mother. 

Her mother ran her hand through Sophia's silky hair as she smiled sinisterly. 

"Trust your father, by the time he's done with Ethan, he wouldn't be able to take anything off the internet again." She said with a cruel grin. 

Sophia beamed up with a smile. Now that was something she could look forward to.
