"You’re just with Evander for the money, aren’t you?" Violet raised an eyebrow, her chin slightly lifted in a disdainful manner.

Sophia’s face displayed even more hurt emotions. Slowly, she reached out and took the check from Violet’s hand, a bitter smile unconsciously appearing at the corner of her lips. So, in the eyes of wealthy people, Cinderella is always after money.

Seeing Sophia take the check, Violet’s lips curled into a sneer. She was about to say that now she’s taken the money she should stop entangling with Evander. Unexpectedly, before the words came out, Sophia tore the check to pieces right in front of her.

Staring directly into Violet’s eyes, the bitterness at Sophia’s lips was replaced by contempt. In Violet’s incredulous gaze, Sophia also raised her chin and said, word by word, "My love may be cheap, but it’s not for sale! If you want me to separate from your son, you better talk to him first. As long as he doesn’t bother me, I, Sophia Hamilton, will never cling to him!"

"You!" Violet was angered by Sophia’s actions because her meaning was clear: as long as Evander doesn’t ask to break up, they will be together.

Violet’s raised fingers were trembling slightly.

Sophia’s hands were stuffed into the large pockets of her plush robe, leaving the purple kiss marks on her collarbone and neck exposed under Violet’s gaze. But she didn’t care at all.

At this point, there was no need to be evasive anymore because no matter what, the future mother-in-law would never like her.

"How can you have no self-respect at all?" Violet reprimanded discontentedly, "Do you really have to wait until Evander has had his fun and then abandons you to be satisfied?"

Sophia snorted indifferently and said, "In this day and age, who’s playing whom isn’t certain yet!"

"You!" Once again, Violet frowns incredulously. Sophia licked her lips, facing Violet’s grieving look, and casually asked, "Do you have anything else, Auntie? If not, please leave. Last night your son kept me up half the night, I’m too tired and need to get some sleep."

After saying this, Sophia walked toward her bedroom, leaving Violet alone in the living room.

Violet...

Watching Sophia’s careless back, Violet stamped her foot in anger and turned to leave. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Hearing the door close, Sophia leaned weakly against the wall next to her bedroom door, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Juliana carried two eco-friendly bags filled with groceries. Evander had said he would come for dinner tonight, so as a mother-in-law she had bought the ingredients early.

Seeing a luxury car parked downstairs, she couldn’t resist taking a few extra glances, "Which family’s relative is that, so wealthy..."

Juliana was so focused on looking at the luxury car that was still running, she almost bumped into Violet who was walking out from the door of the building, quickly stepping back apologetically, "I’m sorry."

"No problem." Violet coldly replied. Seeing her come out, someone inside opened the door to the rear seat of the luxury car. Violet bent down and got in. The luxury car started and slowly headed towards the entrance of the complex.

Juliana carried two eco-friendly bags, watching the luxury car with a frown, murmuring to herself, "Why does that woman look so familiar?"

In the luxury car, as soon as Violet sat down, she began to complain, "What kind of person is that, looks innocent but surprisingly shameless!"

"What happened, didn’t things go smoothly?" Joseph asked with a smile. Violet turned to look at him and said, "Not at all. I even gave her the check, but she still refused to leave Evander. In my opinion, she’s just ambitious, determined to marry into a wealthy family!"
