Chapter 198 Deliberately Provoking

When Sophia got to the banquet hall, everyone got excited. But no one listened to Sophia, as if she was just the air.

Teresa glanced at the paper bag on the table and thought, 'she is after all a bitch. How could she afford such a gift?' Then she observed Christopher's expression secretly and desired to draw a conclusion. There was no change in Christopher's expression. And it was hard to tell whether he liked this uninvited guest or not.

After a moment's hesitation, Teresa spoke her mind. Pointing at the bag, she said, "the tea that you picked today was in such a rush. I thought you paid much attention to this birthday party, but it turns out that you are only preparing it temporarily!" Teresa's voice was not loud, but the tone was very heavy. As soon as she finished, her voice drew the attention of the people around.

Karl and Grace had already hated Sophia, when they heard what Teresa said, they even hated her more. And even though Connie was a little annoyed that Teresa didn't listen to her and couldn't keep calm, she still wanted to see Sophia to be troubled. After all, Sophia was the greatest enemy of Teresa and her!

Sophia didn't get angry. Instead, she explained calmly, "the tea in September is also called autumn tea. The fresh picked taste is very rich. I thought it is better than the tea in the market."

Victor said. "This tea is made by Sophia. She must attach great importance to this birthday party. Not many people can prepare presents by themselves now... " Victor gave Teresa a meaningful look.

Teresa didn't even dare to look directly into Victor's eyes. She could only be angry in her heart. What the spell that Sophia had cast on Victor to make him defend her like this and even take her to this kind of occasion. Perhaps it was because it was easy to get angry during pregnancy, Teresa's cheeks had already turned red with anger. She looked at Connie for help.

Connie could understand how she felt. She said slowly, "but I don't think it's appropriate for you to bring Sophia here without even telling us in advance."

The friendship between Xiao family and An family had extended for many years. If they wanted to dig deeper, they had to be counted from Christopher. Therefore, it was not inappropriate for Connie to say something like that in front of everyone.

Grace placed the glass on the table heavily, a dull thud was heard. In a stern voice, Grace scolded, "Victor, I didn't expect you to be so willful, you are not a child anymore! Do you think anyone is qualified to attend our party? You just turn a deaf ear to what you just said!"

"After all, I spoiled you too much!" Karl's face also looked bad and blamed Victor with Grace.

When Connie and Teresa saw the current situation, they really felt that Sophia brought disgrace on herself. Occasionally, they would also provoke the atmosphere of the birthday party with an evil intention.

"Since Victor had already brought Sophia

ised everyone not to blame Sophia, Sophia would have left the banquet hall with tears. Or how could Sophia get a seat now?

Zed turned to talk with his father casually as if he hadn't seen the eyes of Teresa. Even if he had been misunderstood by her, he didn't want her to make any mistakes on such an occasion.

The birthday party went on as everyone seated. The cooks began to serve the dishes. Although the birthday party was simple and low-key, the dishes on the table were all delicacies, which were seldom to eat.

Sophia quietly sat next to Victor. Victor got those dishes for her from time to time. Obviously, they had become the focus of the crowd. Everyone's eyes were focused on these two people.

Sitting next to Zed, Terence didn't expect that Victor would bring Sophia to the birthday party. Terence was so surprised. After all, by doing so, Victor had determined Sophia's status, and at the same time refused An family's marriage. In this way, Terence could make use of the chance to bring Zed and Teresa together. It was unsurprising that An family, which had been refused today, would not refuse the kindness of others when they saw the manner of Victor.

Thinking of this, Terence said, "I've heard that there is a very beautiful woman by Victor's side. It's true. Miss Sophia, you're really a special woman!"

Victor knew that Terence wasn't doing this out of good will. Terence intentionally brought the topic back to Sophia. He wanted to embarrass Karl and Grace and made them lost control in this occasion. But for the sake of Christopher, Victor couldn't cut to the chase. He said with assumed humility. "You really flatter Sophia, uncle."

Teresa couldn't keep calm anymore. She said abruptly, "Sophia is really a special woman. She manages the whole company very well." Teresa wanted to shift everyone's attention and mislead them to believe that the reason why Sophia was with Victor was because of the background of the YS Group.
