Next One Is a Babe Chapter 82

Sophia would never treat Mrs. Constance as such before, so how was she able to tolerate such

behavior from Sophia now?

Mrs. Constance immediately slammed the chopsticks onto the table and asked, “Sophia, what kind of

manners is this?”

John then lifted his head to look at Mrs. Constance and said, “Mom, that’s enough.”

Meanwhile, Sophia swiftly imitated her and slammed the chopsticks on the table. She looked at Mrs.

Constance with a mocking look on her face. “I learned all these actions from you. If I’m the one with

problems with my manners, I think you should reflect on yourself first.”

Mrs. Constance’s face turned stiff. She had not expected Sophia to be so sharp-tongued.

She opened her mouth. “You—”

Sophia kept an expressionless face while she looked at Mrs. Constance—she looked as if she was

eager to hear what would come out of Mrs. Constance’s mouth.

Sophia’s current behavior made Mrs. Constance even angrier compared to her careless behavior in the

past.

Old Mrs. Constance, who sat by her side, instantly frowned. However, she looked at Mrs. Constance

first. “Matilda, please just sit down. Have your meal and talk nicely. It’s been so many years. Why are

you still like this?”

Having already said such words, Mrs. Constance was unable to back down with good grace.

Mrs. Constance looked at Old Mrs. Constance and felt a little upset as she said, “Mom, just look at her.

She dared to talk to me that way.”

With this, she glanced at Sophia, but Old Mrs. Constance was still fixated on her.

Then, Sophia seized the opportunity to roll her eyes at Mrs. Constance while no one was watching.

Her behavior was arrogant and she acted in a disorderly manner without fear.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Constance gritted her teeth and pointed her finger at Sophia. “Look at her. Just

look at her.”

Sophia immediately adjusted the expression on her face and continued acting innocent.

She could not imagine what she had looked like in the old days. Compared to now, she could let her

old self die off.

Mrs. Constance was a pretentious person. How could she have been bullied so miserably by Mrs.

Constance in the past?

This made no sense at all.

Old Mrs. Constance glanced at Sophia. On the other hand, Sophia was able to remain calm; not even a

hint of expression was shown on her face.

Isabelle, who was sitting by the side, patted Mrs. Constance’s shoulder. “Mrs. Constance, please don’t

be angry. I’m sure Miss Gwendolyn doesn’t mean it. Perhaps it's the medicine she swallowed that is

causing her a little discomfort. Please don’t overthink it.”

Mrs. Constance then looked at Isabelle. It took a long time for her to take a breather, then she said in a

suppressed voice, “You’re such a kind child. You know how to find excuses for someone else.”

Meanwhile, Sophia picked up her chopsticks and started eating by herself again as she was not full yet.

John remained seated while his face had no expression at all.

Old Mrs. Constance had also slowly adjusted her emotions. She then took the napkin from the side to

wipe her mouth. “It seems like I can’t continue this meal anymore.”

With this, she stood up. The servants that were standing by the door hurried over to her.

With Old Mrs. Constance’s back facing them, she added, “All of you can continue your meal.”

By the looks of it, she was angry.

Mrs. Constance did not expect her to give such a reaction. “Mom, why aren’t you eating anymore?

You’ve only had a few bites.”

She quickly stood up and walked toward Old Mrs. Constance.

Meanwhile, Sophia lowered her head to eat and was not affected by this entire situation at all.

Zack, who was by the side, secretly put down his chopsticks.

If only he had known that it would turn out like this, Zack would not have stayed behind for a meal.

It wasn’t like this meal tasted particularly good.

Isabelle felt slightly awkward since Mrs. Constance had chased after Old Mrs. Constance. This made

Isabelle feel a little restless.

After a while, John picked up his chopsticks and looked at her. “I’m really sorry that you have to witness

this.”

Isabelle then shook her head and said, “It’s fine. Perhaps Mrs. Constance is under the weather today.”

John nodded and continued, “Please continue your meal.”

Isabelle then pursed her lips and did not leave.

John turned to look at Zack and said, “Eat up. We still have to return to the company once we’ve

finished.”

Zack swiftly lowered his head and ate as if nothing had happened.

On the other hand, John did not have the appetite to eat anymore.

He turned to look at Sophia. He noticed that she was not affected by the previous incident at all and

was enjoying the food.

John stared at Sophia for a while before forcing himself to continue eating.
