Sophia was quite moved by his words.
Hearing what his son said, the Mo couple did not say too much to oppose in front of Miss Sophia. After
all, both of them paid attention to manner.
After lunch, Jacob asked his son to go for a walk in the garden with him. He needed to discuss the
matter with his son alone.
Jacob lit a cigar and walked slowly along a stone path, "Lucas, those born in poor families are naturally
wealthy. You can be sure that she loves you, not your money. Don't be overwhelmed by love."
"Daddy, it's a matter of course for a man to make money for his woman. I want her to use my money,
but she don't want me to give it to her." With a slight sigh, a woman who didn't spend men's money
would let him a headache, which made him lose half of his fun making money.
"Maybe she just wants to play a trick to deceive you." Jacob raised his eyebrows. He had seen many
hypocritical women.
"Are you belittling me? Or can't I tell the true from the false?" Lucas curled his lips.
"Lookers on see most of the game." Jacob said with sincerity, after taking a puff of his cigar.
After a moment's pause, Lucas looked at his father and said, "if what you care about is profit and value,
the woman I selected will not only be a good wife, but also a capable assistant for my career."
"Besides, the woman you've chosen for me is only from a wealthy family. She only knows how to go
shopping, throw parties, and play dirty tricks. She is totally brainless, and I don't like being kept as a
vase at home. "
Hearing his son's words, Jacob trembled a little. He knew that his son was referring to Jenny, and he
had to admit that for the sake of the considerable value of their marriage, he deliberately ignored the
essence of Jenny's love.
"It seems that you have made up your mind to marry her?" He sighed.
"Yes, daddy. Nothing can change me." There was a determined look in Lucas's eyes.
Hearing that, Jacob took a deep breath of the cigar and stopped talking. He understood his son's
stubbornness, and his decision could not be easily changed.
When they were taking a walk, Anna took the opportunity to ask Sophia to go to the study.
Sitting quietly in front of Anna, Sophia didn't make any response, but she was very nervous and
restless.
Taking a sip of the tea, Anna said with a smile, "what does your father do?"
"I don't have a father. My mother was the one who raised me up through part-time jobs." Sophia replied
coolly. She spoke every word clearly that she thought it was unnecessary to hide her family
background.
Stunned for a moment, Anna's eyes deepened and said, "if you marry to Lucas, you will have a better
life in the future."
"Indeed, Lucas is like a giant to me. Standing on his shoulder, I have a vast vision and insights. Now I
am learning management and business from him. I hope I can be his effective assistant one day. "
"Can you tell me the truth now?". Other women would have given a lot of excuses to prove how
innocent, lofty and noble they were, but the more they said, the more it was revealed to her. But Sophia
did not, generously and calmly acknowledged this undeniable reality.
With inquiring and swift eyes, Anna took out a pile of documents from her bag. "This is a property
agreement that I asked the lawyer to draw up. Have a look. If there is no problem, sign it. "
"It's common for rich people to sign pre-marital property agreement." Sophia thought. She took it over.
Without reading it, she turned to the last page, signed her name and handed it to her.
"Don't you look at them?" Anna was a little surprised.
"No, thanks." Sophia shook her head.
"Under this agreement, you won't get a penny."
"She is not mine." There was a slight smile on her face.
Looking at Sophia up and down quietly, a slight light flashed across Anna's face.
The room was enveloped in a short silence.
The wind swept across the window, and the only sound was a few birds chirping occasionally on the
branches.
After a long time, a rush of footsteps broke the ice.
The door was pushed open and Lucas rushed in.
Seeing this, Anna quickly put away the agreement on the table, but Lucas could see clearly and went
to Sophia without showing anything. "I've been looking for you everywhere. It turned out to be mom's
place." He took her hand and smiled at her, "it's time for you to give her back to me."
He took her to the lake after leaving the room.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled evenly on the lake.
He looked at her in silence, as if absorbed in thought, a golden wave rippling in his eyes.
She was also silent and gazed into the distance until he spoke.
"What did you talk with my mother?" He asked casually.
"Nothing. Your mother just asked something about me." She answered indifferently.
"Did she make trouble for you?" He turned his head and stared at her.
"No, she didn't." She lowered her head and kicked the cobblestone. Before she came here, she was
prepared that her family wouldn't accept her so easily.
"Sophia." He suddenly grabbed her shoulder and turned her around to face him. "No matter what
happens, let me know. You can't make decisions without authorization. As long as I am here, you don't
have to be afraid of anything, understand?"
She nodded with a faint smile on her lips.
"Did she give you a hard time?" He asked again.
"No, your mother is kind and gentle. We had a good chat." She smiled awkwardly. She didn't want to be
a person who tried to sow discord among them.
He sighed, knowing that she was determined not to tell him. "Let's go back," Then he turned around
and walked towards the villa alone.
He went directly to his mother's room. He knew very well that they were hiding something from him.
Hearing her son's question, Anna was a little unhappy. "What did she say to you?"
"That's exactly why I have to ask you."
"Are you afraid that I will eat her alive?" Anna frowned.
"Please don't get me wrong. I didn't mean that. I just hope that you can tell me everything frankly no
matter what happens." Lucas shrugged and showed his attitude.
After a moment of silence, Anna picked up the pear juice on the tea table, took a slow breath, and took
out the property agreement from her bag. "I asked the lawyer to draft for you. She has sighed. It will
take effect when you sign it."
Taking it over and having a glance hastily, Lucas' face suddenly turned ghastly pale.
"All the property of the man, no matter before or after marriage, shall be owned by the man and the
woman has no right to make use of it. If the woman divorces, the woman shall not divide all the
property under the man's name in any form or any reason. All the gifts that the man gave, including the
wedding ring, must be sent back in unison..." In short, no matter who was at fault, as long as they
divorced, the wife had to leave with nothing.
"You've gone too far!" He tore the agreement into pieces angrily. "We don't need this damn thing. Mine
is hers!"
