Chapter 114
In the photo, a tall, elegant man was holding a girl dressed in a white T–shirt and pants in his arms. They were at the gate of the Roscente Family manor.
His slender long fingers rested on the girl’s waist, and even in the still photo, one could see that he was restraining and holding back something.
The angle also happened to capture the man’s cold yet ethereal face softening, his deep eyes filled with tenderness.
Anyone could see exactly how deeply the man was in love with the girl in his arms. Unfortunately, this man was Tristan.
Xandra’s fingers tightened around her phone, her eyes tinged with jealousy.
She stared at the man embracing someone in the photo, feeling her heart being viciously torn and shattered into pieces by him, scattered all over, in extreme agony
She was so infatuated with Tristan that she even disregarded her dignity and pride as a wealthy heiress, just wanting to stay by his side as his fiancée.
For so many years, she had been chasing Tristan, hoping he would one day see her value and understand that in the entire Roscente Family, even in Virelia, only she was worthy to be his wife.
But now, Sophia robbed her of the families, identity, and status that should have been hers. Now Sophia was even going to steal Tristan away.
Was she addicted to stealing? Xandra cursed in her heart.
At this moment, Patrick also sent her a voice message.
Xandra played the message reluctantly and heard the cold voice of Patrick coming from the phone, “You think you’re Tristan’s fiancée, but he doesn’t care about you at all. When the real heiress returns, you, the fake one, will have to step down
She hadn’t finished listening to this voice message when two more came through, “I heard that Tristan came to the Roscente Family this time specifically to fulfill the promise of marriage with the Roscente Family. This engagement should have been yours, but now… it’s all Sophia’s.
“You’ve lost the identity of the Roscente Family’s daughter, and now you lost the opportunity to marry Tristan. Tell me, what’s your worth?”
He laughed at Xandra’s failure and arrogance. Every word and sentence turned into needles, piercing harshly into Xandra’s shattered heart.
Xandra was so furious she almost wanted to throw the phone away, but fortunately, Mary stopped her just in time. “Miss Roscente, don’t be deceived by Mr. Patrick Roscente! He’s clearly a stray dog himself and wants to drag you down with him. You can’t believe him!”
Mary advised earnestly. “Miss Roscente, you can’t just keep your eyes on Miss Sophia Roscente. Anyway, with her background and temperament, she definitely won’t last long in the Roscente Family. She doesn’t even have the qualification to compete with you, so why should you care about her?”
Xandra’s chest heaved with anger, her face turned bright red, vaguely twisted, and looked terrifying.
“Mary was right. My priority was not to fight with Sophia.
“Sophia didn’t even have the qualification to compete with me! What I needed to do was to make my position secure in the Roscente Family

Chapter 114
“As long as I had the Roscente Family as my backing. Tristan had to marry me eventually Xandra thought.
Then she handed her phone to Mary, “Wait for me. I’ll put on some makeup first. Later, you can take some photos of me and send them to the servants of the Roscente Family. Make sure those servants show the photos to the Roscente family.”
She lowered her eyes, “By the way, rent a wheelchair and push me to the VIP area later. I’ll take the opportunity to visit Andrew Yeats”
Sophia returned to the hall and saw Edward sitting on the sofa with a stern face, clearly displeased. He was waiting for her to
retum.
Sophia walked over and called out, “Grandpa Edward”
Edward’s stern face crumpled into a frown, and he huffed heavily, “Sending someone off took you so long. You can’t let him
go, can you?”
Even if Sophia was slow to catch on, she could feel the sour tone in his voice.
She smiled slightly, leaned in next to Edward, sat down close to him, and wrapped her arms around his. “The manor is too big, and I’m slow.”
Initially, when she was first brought back to the Roscente family, she had given up the hope of being loved by families.
She only thought that as long as under the same roof, she would not attack unless she was attacked..
After all, from childhood to adulthood, only Margaret would make her show a childlike smile.
She had never thought that after she was fooled by Margaret, one could make her believe him again.
She also never thought she would, like an ordinary granddaughter, hold her grandpa’s arm and show a playful side.
But, this feeling was really not bad. It was unfamiliar, but she liked it.
Sophia’s smile deepened, looking at the proud, stubborn old man whose arm she embraced. His brows were clearly raised with delight, yet he pretended to remain stern. She laughed, “Grandpa, don’t you like Tristan?”
Edward tried hard to keep a straight face, making his voice sound more authoritative. “When exactly did you and that boy meet?”
When exactly did that brat quietly get close to my precious granddaughter? Edward wondered.
Edward knew about Sophia’s previous situation with the Stewart Family and had heard about her chasing Ethan for three years. Logically speaking, before returning to the Roscente Family, Sophia didn’t have a chance to know Tristan at all.
But Tristan just met his granddaughter and had the chance to become her fiancé,
The more Edward thought about it, the angrier he got. Of course, He was angry about Tristan,
Sophia slightly tilted her head, looking at his face, and chuckled, “Actually… we haven’t known each other for a long time. It was the first time we met when I left the Stewart Family”
“Not even a month?” Edward felt even harder to swallow.
Sophia raised her hand to soothe Edward, lest his anger gave rise to his high blood pressure, which would be troubling
She softened her voice, “But it’s just fulfilling an engagement, it doesn’t mean I’ll marry him immediately. Besides, if I don’t want to, I can break off the engagement at any time. The initiative is in my hands, he wouldn’t dare bully me, so please don’t
