Chapter 502
At that moment, Sophia didn’t bother to argue further. She stood quietly, her arms crossed, her face calm though inside she felt the weight of Rebecca’s presence pressing down on her. It wasn’t just about Rebecca being there it was who Rebecca was.Sophia knew her well. Rebecca was a busybody, the kind of woman who poked her nose into everyone else’s matters, stirring trouble where there was none. She wasn’t from a wealthy background either, though her family still had some level of respect. But that wasn’t what bothered Sophia the most.What truly made her blood boil was the fact that Rebecca wasn’t standing here for herself. She was standing here as the right hand of Cecilia.And Cecilia wasn’t just another woman in her circle. No Cecilia was the one who had boldly declared, face-to-face, that they were rivals. Not secret rivals, not subtle competitors. Everyone knew about their dislike for each other. Cecilia had made sure the world understood that their paths would never be friend

At that moment, Sophia narrowed her eyes slightly, her voice carrying a cool sting as she leaned forward just enough to make her words cut deeper.“So, Rebecca… where’s your own boyfriend?” she asked, her tone sharp but calm. “Since you love poking your nose into other people’s affairs, since you love interfering in things that don’t concern you… tell me, where is he?”Hearing Sophia words Rebecca’s smile froze. For a brief second, her jaw tightened, her eyes flashing with the anger she tried so hard to hide. Her chest rose quickly as though she had been caught off guard, but she quickly straightened her posture and forced herself to laugh softly, shaking her head as if Sophia’s words meant nothing.“Well,” she said, her voice sweet but heavy with irritation, “that’s cute. Really cute, Sophia. But stop trying to twist the conversation. Don’t think you can get away from my question by throwing one back at me.”She stepped closer, her heels clicking lightly on the ground, her eyes locke

At that moment, Sophia slowly turned to face Rebecca, her head tilting just slightly, her brows lifted with calm confusion.“Run from you?” she asked, her voice calm but laced with sharpness. “Why would I do that?”She stepped forward, just a bit, eyes never leaving Rebecca’s.“Did you threaten me and I forgot? Or do I owe you something I didn’t know about?” she asked sarcastically. “Because I don’t remember giving you that much power over me.”She let out a small, amused breath, shaking her head. “I wasn’t even thinking about you, Rebecca.”The words weren’t shouted. They were too even, too cool, almost like Sophia was honestly baffled by the idea that Rebecca thought she held that much space in her head.Rebecca’s smile twitched.Her eyes darkened just a little, but she covered it quickly. Her chin lifted higher, and she tried to keep her voice playful.“Well,” she said slowly, “your body language and the way you reacted earlier told me everything I needed to know.”At that moment s

At that moment, Sophia stood tall, her voice calm but filled with weight. There was no more fire in her tone, only a quiet, controlled storm.“Well,” she said, her eyes not breaking away from her grandfather, “if that’s really what you think… if that’s your belief… then fine.”Her lips pressed together, and she took in a breath. Her fingers curled slightly by her sides.“I don’t have the strength to exchange words with anybody anymore. Not today. Not when I know nothing I say will change your mind.”She paused, her chest rising slowly.“I don’t have the strength to argue with you. But at least keep this in mind…”She pointed gently at her own chest. “What you did? It was wrong. And no matter how you try to wrap it up, or what name you call it, it doesn’t make it right. You betrayed someone who saved you. Someone who never asked for anything in return.”Her voice cracked just a little, but she steadied it.“And I’m not going to support that. I can’t stand behind it.”She glanced betwee
Chapter 498
At that moment, Sophia’s grandfather didn’t stop. His voice got firmer, older, and heavier with frustration. He raised one hand in the air like he was holding a warning.“Yes, I liked Damien,” he said with a nod, pacing a little toward the window, then turning back. “I respected that boy, I truly did. Not because he’s some genius or because of his status. No. It was because of his master… and because of what he did for me.”He pointed to his chest with his palm flat, pressing lightly like he was remembering the pain he once felt.“If it wasn’t for the treatment, his master card, if he hadn’t used that rare connection, that thing from his master I might not even be standing here today. So yes, I respected him. But that respect had boundaries.”His tone shifted. The warmth disappeared. His eyes narrowed slightly.“But seeing how you’ve been acting lately,Sophia… this nonsense you call love it’s turning into something else. Unparalleled theft,” he scoffed. “That’s what I see. That’s what
Chapter 497
At that moment, upon hearing what Damien just said, Sophia froze. Her eyes widened so much, it was like the world paused around her. Her lips parted, but no words came out yet. She held the phone tighter against her ear, making sure she heard him right.“Damien,” she whispered, then said louder, her voice shaking between surprise and joy, “Damien, are you really serious about this? Like... you want to come?” Her voice was rising, mixed with excitement and doubt. “Like, even if you said no, I wouldn’t be angry. I swear. But you really want to come? You’re serious?”Immediately her feet started pacing the living room without her realizing. Her cheeks had turned pink, and her eyes were shining like she was about to tear up.On the other side of the phone, Damien’s voice came calm and sure, “Yes, I want to come. Send me the address.”That was it. That one answer made her knees buckle a little. She had to lean against the couch just so she wouldn't fall. Her heart was beating too fast. She
