Chapter 200 A Call From Rita
If Zed succeeded in chasing Teresa, wouldn't it be better for Sophia? Sophia didn't want to spend every single day with Teresa as Teresa would make her sick. After all, no one wanted to see the person she hated the most all day, a badgering rival.
Sophia tilted her head and looked at the person in the mirror. She was the same as her. She was almost amused by how cute she was. Thinking of this, she could not help but feel shy about her narcissistic ideas. Then Sophia raised her hand to look at her watch. She estimated that Teresa and Zed in the side hall should be back now. Sophia simply tidied herself up, took a deep breath, and prepared to go back to the dining room.
The dining room was still full of joy. A big group of people were talking with each other in high spirits. Everyone seemed to be so harmonious. However, Sophia knew that although it was seemingly noisy, there were many hidden undercurrent.
Seeing this, Victor stood up and took out the chair for Sophia. Sophia looked at the man who was smiling at her with his head down, feeling happy.
However, not long after that, a burst of rapid ringtone broke the scene. When Sophia was smiling and answering Christopher's question, her heart trembled, because she was very familiar with the ringtone.
On this moment, all people in the room looked towards Sophia. There was no doubt that those people looked at Sophia with disdain or even just wanted to watch a good show. Sophia was uneasy, she raised her head to look at Victor, trying to ask for help. Holding her phone tightly in her hand, she blocked off the phone's speaker and set it to mute mode. She didn't even dare to look at the screen to find out who was it?
The phone was still ringing, but time seemed so long past. Victor also saw Sophia's signal for help. He peeped at his grandpa, but found nothing different on his face. Christopher continued to eat. Victor breathed a sigh of relief and turned around, blinking his eyes naughtily to Sophia.
Then Sophia caught a glimpse of the screen of her phone. It was still on and there was one name floating on it: Rita.
Usually, when Sophia received a call from Rita, she would take it seriously. After all, Rita was a cheerful woman. Rita always called and talked with her no matter there was something or nothing. But the phone call had been on for more than one minute today, this made Sophia worry about whether there was something wrong with Rita. Sophia didn't dare to neglect. She stood up. Sophia signalled Christopher that she wanted to go out.
Christopher was also casual, he smiled and waved his hand to signal her to go out.
As soon as Sophia walked out of the room, she pressed the answer key. This time, Rita's voice was faint and weak, unlike the usual loud voice in the phone. This time, her voice made Sophia doubt that it was Rita or not.
"Sophia. Don't you th
happened today. They were just using his birthday party as an excuse. However, at this moment, the situation did make everyone embarrased. So Christopher coughed and said, "if Sophia has something important then just let her leave first. I'll ask my driver to send her there."
Then he turned to look at Victor and said, "we haven't seen each other for a long time. Can you talk to me today?"
The butler appeared at the right time and respectfully invited Sophia to take the car.
Nodding her head in a rush, Sophia followed the butler out of the room. But Sophia didn't know that a pair of burning jealous eyes was staring at her behind.
Victor stood still, keeping his eyes on Sophia. He watched as she walked out of the room and then out of the door. Not until Sophia was out of sight did Victor slowly turn around and sat back on his seat, with his usual cold face.
After Sophia's departure, Teresa thought she could replace Sophia and she was very happy. Teresa thought that anyway her status was much higher than that illegitimate daughter's. It seemed that as long as her plan went smoothly tonight, she would definitely take Victor in her hand, and she would be his wife legally.
Thinking of this, Teresa was cheered up and gave a sinister smile. She raised her head and stared at Victor with her burning eyes. Teresa stared at Victor intensely like that he was her target and she was a hungry female lion.
However, Teresa didn't expect that the moment she raised her head, she saw Victor's cold face. Just like what she saw in the company every day. But why did he look so gentle just now? Did he change into another person after Sophia's departure? Why? Why could Sophia, an illegitimate daughter, be favored by Victor? Even at Christopher's birthday party today, she won the favor of Christopher. Why could Sophia enjoy so much love alone. Wasn't she supposed to own everything Sophia had?
