When Sophia came back to her senses, she found herself in the car of Victor, which was heading for
Xiao family.
In less than half an hour, they arrived at a high-grade villa area.
It was the top residential area in S city.
The security of this villa area was very strict, and there were originally some inspection staff going in
and out. Perhaps it was because Xiao family was so powerful that the security guard let them in as
soon as Victor rolled down his window and they saw his symbolic face.
Sophia was praised in the heart of the decoration of this villa.
Although she was born in a poor family, she had lived in Jian family's villa since she was a child. But
this villa area was obviously different from Sophia had lived. It was full of low-key, luxurious and rich
decoration.
The villas in this housing estate were far away from the villa. The resident didn't need to worry about
being disturbed. Both of them could maintain absolute peace. At the same time, the construction of the
villa was similar to the European style residence. The green area of the community was also quite
perfect, it was placed together with the neat small house, and it was particularly pleasant.
Sophia knew that they almost there. She quickly took out the makeup stuff from her bag and looked at
herself in the mirror to see if her makeup was appropriate. Then she straightened her clothes.
Victor saw the nervous look on Sophia's face, though expressionless, inexplicably intrigued him.
Sophia was different from that Teresa put on deliberately. It was emitted from her inadvertent
movements.
He put his hand on Sophia's small, complicated but restless hand. This surprised the woman beside
him. But when he comforted her, she didn't move anymore
They arrived at Xiao family soon. When they got off the car, Sophia somewhat uneasy followed Colin.
Victor stepped forward, and entered Xiao family's house's password.
As soon as they reached the living room, they heard the loud laughter of Teresa.
So Victor led Sophia to the hall. He saw Teresa sitting on the sofa beside happily and talking with a
woman who was sitting on the sofa. Opposite her, there sat a woman about the same age who tried to
talk with Teresa.
Sophia observing everything in front of her.
The woman sitting in the middle on the couch must be Victor's mother. She was calm and collected, as
if she were the leader of the entire family. She was supposed to be in her fifties, but she maintained her
skin well, as if she was a young woman, and her figure was not as plump as that of her age. It was
obvious that she was a self disciplined woman.
The other woman, who was about the same age with Victor's mother, was much inferior. She was
dressed up magnificently, which gave off a feeling of extremely wealthy. An air of very strong material
was permeated all over her body. They were probably the family of Teresa.
"Hello, Victor! We've been waiting for you for a long time!"
After she found the figure of Victor, Teresa stood up excitedly and said with innocent smile on her face.
With a smile on her face, Grace nodded at Victor, gesturing for him to come over.
It was not until then did the people present notice that there was another woman behind the man. That
woman was beautiful and had a delicate face.
There was a flash of displeasure on Teresa's face, but it quickly disappeared.
Before the people could react, she covered her sleeves, sat down next to Grace and started to cry.
Glaring at Teresa, who was crying hysterically, Grace was confused. She reached out her hand and
gently stroked her back, trying to make Teresa feel better.
On the other side, Connie was smart enough to figure out what was going on when she saw that Victor
was taking a strange woman home and she saw her daughter's reaction. So, she pretended to feel
sorry and asked, "what's wrong, Teresa? Why do you cry so bad all of a sudden? Did someone do
something to you?"
Grace pursed her lips. She had been interested in this lady whom she had met for the first time, but
after hearing Connie's words, she averted her eyes from Teresa and looked at Teresa with concern.
Teresa ignored her mother and turned to ask Victor with a crying voice.
"Victor! Isn't she your assistant? Why did you bring her here? Do you have business to do at home?"
The expression on Victor's face was cold. But he didn't want to offend his mother, so he turned to
Grace and said, "mother, it's Sophia."
Because of Teresa's crying that Sophia was somewhat embarrassed, but she still politely lowered her
head and greeted, "Hello, auntie."
Without saying anything, Grace wore an expression show that Sophia was an uninvited guest.
Ignoring Grace's greeting, Victor walked into the living room indifferently with Sophia and sat on an
empty sofa.
Then Grace looked towards Sophia with a suspicious gaze, and then rested her eyes on Terence, who
was still sobbing. This woman was beautiful in appearance, but Grace didn't think Sophia was a simple
woman through Teresa reaction.
"What happened, Teresa? Don't be afraid. Just tell me what happened. I will help you!"
Grace offered solicitously.
Still, Teresa lowered her head and kept silent. Nevertheless, she threw herself into Grace's arms,
bursting into tears.
Now, Grace probably understood what had happened.
It was the day that she asked Victor to take Teresa home for dinner. Instead of taking Teresa home,
Victor asked a strange woman to come with him. Sophia must have done something that made Teresa
sad, so Teresa couldn't help crying as soon as she saw this woman.
When Grace thought of this, she couldn't help getting angry.
Grace angrily rebuked Victor, "who do you think you are? You are a member of Xiao family. You can't
just take wild dogs and cats here! You should consider the consequence before you do something! "
Then Grace said to Sophia, "I don't care what you have done to have Victor bring you here. But please
remember, only the right person deserved to do the right thing. A man who is fascinated by something
will return to his own place ruthlessly once he thinks it over... "
Those words broke Sophia's heart. She knew she was a colonel, but she had never crossed the line to
do anything she shouldn't.
After hearing the accusation from Grace, Victor turned to look at the crying Teresa. Dissatisfaction
flashed through his eyes. But he didn't know how to retort his mother, so he could only put up with his
anger.
"I heard that you're working for Victor, so you should focus on your work, rather than daydreaming
about something that doesn't belong to you!"
Hearing this, Sophia finally couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up with her handbag and was about to
leave this place.
She had been against having dinner with Xiao family. She had been mentally prepared before coming,
so this meal would definitely be an insult to herself. But she didn't expect that the truth would be so
unbearable
She had never thought of taking a few steps back from Victor because she knew that she could never
win his heart.
Sophia felt wronged. Unwittingly, her eyes became red
Now that she was not welcomed here, she felt no need to stay here
Then Sophia turned around and was about to leave the overbearing Grace. She wanted to leave Xiao
family which made her depressed.
At this moment, Sophia's thin hand was suddenly wrapped by a large and thick hand. His hand was
strong and warm, and the warmth was so familiar to her that it was wrapping her tightly.
Sophia looked back and met Victor's deep eyes.
This man's eyes seemed to be able to tell something. Although he was bossy, he could understand
Sophia's mind. Victor's passion was only loved by her.
Sophia wanted to leave a few seconds ago but she couldn't move anymore when she looked into
Victor's eyes.
Victor shook his head and didn't want Sophia to leave.
Thus, Sophia put down her handbag and went back to the sofa. She said calmly, "I'm sorry. I was being
rude just now. Please forgive me."
Seeing that, Grace continued, "I'm glad to hear that, but I'm not willing to let you marry a better man.
It's not easy to get into Xiao family."
After saying that, Grace held Teresa's hand and comforted her in a soft voice, "Teresa, don't cry. You're
gonna hurt your pretty face..."
There was a sharp contrast between Grace's simplicity to Sophia and Teresa's attitude.
"But I feel bad, aunt Grace." With a sobbing voice, Teresa acted like a spoiled child, deliberately calling
her "aunt Grace", and deliberately showing off her unusual relationship with Xiao family.
Teresa raised her head to look at Grace. Her face was covered in tears, and her two big eyes were
swollen like two red walnuts. She looked pitiful.
Seeing the look on Teresa's face, Grace's voice became as gentle as water. "Don't be afraid. You have
my support! No matter what kind of a person they are, you are the only daughter-in-law in our Xiao
family! "
Teresa lowered her head and snickered in her heart. That was exactly what she wanted.
The words that the woman seemed to say to comfort the sobbing Teresa actually showed the status of
Teresa in Xiao's family, as well as request to Sophia and Victor.
Sitting on the sofa and listening to the conversation between the two women, Sophia felt more and
more disappointed. She knew that Grace had a special meaning to it.
