Chapter 115

Edward naturally knew that since Tristan had personally come to fulfill the marriage agreement between the two families, he must have been sincere.
And just now in the study, he could see that Tristan’s feelings for Sophia were genuine and intense.
Edward actually understood this very well, if his precious granddaughter had to marry someone in this lifetime, Tristan was indeed a very good choice.
Tristan was someone he had watched grow up. He knew his abilities and character inside out. It’s just he couldn’t bear to part with her.
Sophia was, after all, the granddaughter who had been away for twenty years, and he hadn’t had a chance to properly make it up to her. She had returned to his side.
If possible, he truly wished to take care of Sophia for a lifetime. But everything must be based on Sophia’s wishes.
If she was unwilling, he would naturally exhaust all means to break off this marriage agreement, allowing Sophia to remain the little princess of the Roscente Family forever.
But, Sophia herself agreed. As her grandfather, even if he was reluctant, he had to respect his granddaughter’s choice.
“Grandpa Edward, Sophia rested her head on his shoulder, her voice soft, like any ordinary granddaughter acting coy with her grandfather, “No matter what the outcome between Tristan and me, you will always be my grandpa, and the Koscente Family will always be my home”
Edward’s heart trembled slightly, and a warm current spread immediately.
He sighed lightly, his expression completely softened, although his face remained solemn, the look in his eyes towards Sophia was exceptionally gentle. “You have always been someone with your own ideas, if you truly like that boy, then take on a good love.”
Sophia nodded. They talked for a while longer in the living room. She finally coaxed Edward into a beaming smile.
Edward also didn’t want to mention that bothersome Tristan who wanted to compete with him for the treasure, so he changed the topic. “Didn’t your dad give you the Raffle Hotel as a welcome–home gift yesterday? If you have time, go and have a look over there. Anything you like or want to change, just tell me, and I’ll help you with the renovations.”
The Roscente Family sure were extravagant with their gifts. Allen gave her the Raffle Hotel, the top place in Virelia, as a present. Early this morning, the property deed with her name and the related papers were delivered to her hands.
Lukas also gifted her a sleek and flashy limited edition luxury car worth 17 million dollars.
Since these were gifts from her family. Sophia wouldn’t overthink the intentions of her family members.
Before Allen and Lukas hurried back to the company, she took the opportunity to urge them to take care of their health.
It was clear that both were overworked and their bodies had been enduring excessive stress.
Her family had been bearing heavy responsibilities and leading the charge.
She had to find a way to help her family take good care of their health.
She needed to find time to inspect the hotel, she still had to find a way to earn some money. This hotel had come at the perfect time
Sophia spent a good while with Edward and, seeing him getting a bit tired, asked Butler to escort him back to his room to

Test.
Just as she returned to her room, her phone rang. It was a video call invitation from Sherry.
She answered, and Sherry’s charmingly laughing face appeared on the screen. “Honey, I miss
s you.”
Seeing her friend’s smile, Sophia smiled as she set her phone on the desk. “Miss me? It’s been so long since you called me.”
Then you can call me if you miss me.” Sherry’s voice was particularly charming, and she pursed her red lips in dissatisfaction, complaining. It’s all because my dad has been forcing me to go on blind dates every day. It’s driving me
crazy.”
Sophia,opened her laptop and looked at the beautiful little lady on the screen, raising her brow slightly. “What? Doesn’t your dad like Zach?”
The Colins Family was second only to the Yeats Family and the Roscente Family.
But the Yeats Family and the Roscente Family preferred to stay out of the public eye and disliked being rated by others.
The Colins Family could be considered the ‘royalty of Virelia.
Zach was also jokingly called the prince of Virelia, Sherry and Zach Colins were well matched.
Sherry’s eyes widened, her voice rising. What does Zach have to do with this? Zach and 1, are purely friends.”
Sophia’s fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, and she glanced at Sherry, half smiling. Her gaze was meaningful, but she said. “Yes, friends.
“What kind of look is that!” Sherry pouted in dissatisfaction, getting somewhat angry from embarrassment. “Zach and 1. there’s absolutely nothing going on. Stop spreading rumors and talking nonsense, it’ll be awkward next time Zach and 1 hang out.”
Sophia shrugged, her gaze returning to the computer screen.
Sherry wanted to explain further, but after thinking it over, she changed the subject. “Why are we always talking about me? What about you! After returning to your wealthy family, have you been forced into blind dates and arranged marriage?”
Sophia didn’t bat an eyelid. “Yes”
Sherry was surprised, and wondered, Did she say “‘Yes‘ just now?
“You went on a blind date too?” Sherry was shocked, “Sweetie, how long have you been back with your family? They’re already eager to fulfill your value.”
She instantly turned angry, and she slapped the table. “I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, enjoying the superior material life provided by the Hayes family. It’s nothing to play my role for them, but you just returned home, they shouldn’t do it like this!”
They met once at a racing event. From the luxury car Sophia arrived in, Sherry could only deduce that Sophia’s real family was a wealthy one.
During this time, she was busy with blind dates and also knew that Sophia wasn’t one to suffer losses easily, so she hadn’t specifically investigated which prestigious family in Virelia Sophia was in.
Now, Sherry regretted it. She should have done something to support her sweetie.
Sophia’s fingers paused slightly on the keyboard. She looked up at Sherry, who was full of anger and sympathy for her
She chuckled, reaching out across the screen to tap Sherry’s face, “Why are you angry? Don’t worry, if I don’t want to, no one

can force me, and besides, my family hasn’t forced me.”
Sherry was taken aback, staring blankly at the screen for a while, then softly laughed, “Sweetie, it’s been a while, and I cant feel you’ve changed a lot.”
Sophia was more vibrant and dazzling than before. There was a softness spreading across her features.
When mentioning her family, her eyes seemed to be filled with a gentle glow. It seemed she finally let her guard down.
Is this the change that real family brings? So, could love really make one’s life better? Sherry wondered,
Sherry knew that Sophia would never let herself suffer any loss. Sophia chased after that fool from the Baker Family previously, which was entirely for Margaret.
And now, no one could threaten Sophia anymore. No one could force her to do anything she didn’t want
Sherry’s eyes suddenly brightened, “So you agreed to the blind date because you also fancy that man?”
Sophia’s fingers on the keyboard stiffened a bit. In her mind, Tristan’s captivating face suddenly appeared, whispering into her ear with that lazy, alluring voice, “Sofi.”
Sophia blushed, she coughed lightly. “It’s not exactly a blind date, it’s just our families have a promise, I’m just giving it a try.”
Sherry’s eyes widened, staring unblinkingly at Sophia’s face on the screen. She knew Sophia too well.
Even across the screen, she could see that faint blush on her face. Sophia blushed at the mention of that man.
“I’ll be darned! Who is it?” She couldn’t hold back her excitement, standing up in shock, causing the phone camera to shake incessantly.
She couldn’t hold back, standing up in shock, causing the phone camera to shake incessantly.
Sophia replied, “You know him too.”
Sherry narrowed her eyes, “Could it be Zach?” After all, Sophia just mentioned Zach.
Sophia rolled her eyes at her, “Would he dare to do that?”
Sherry was silent for two seconds. Indeed, Zach wouldn’t dare.
In the hearts of Zach and his friends, Sophia was their deity. Who would dare to date a deity?
Sherry thought about all the sons of the noble families in Virelia but couldn’t think of anyone worthy of Sophia, someone who could make her agree to the engagement.
She scratched her head, messing up her carefully styled hair, “Who is it? I listed all their names in Virelia, and only the one from the Yeats Family is barely worthy of you.”
But it couldn’t possibly be Tristan. Although she had never met Tristan in person before the racing event, she had heard legends about him.
He was practically a legendary figure like the domineering CEO in novels. It was in a complimentary sense.
The only rumor around him was about a fake heiress who was fostered by the Roscente Family, trying to secure the engagement under the guise of being a daughter of the Roscente Family, relentlessly pursuing Tristan, forcing the Yeats Family to visit the Roscente Family in person to call off the engagement.
This incident once became a laughing stock among Virelia’s high society

Chapter 115
The fake heiress from the Roscente Family
y was forced to secure an international fashion career and went abroad.
It’s said that the fake heiress from the Roscente Family still hasn’t given up on the idea of becoming Mrs. Yeats.
Thinking of this. Sherry immediately felt that Tristan wasn’t worthy of Sophia either. A man who couldn’t even resolve such a rumor would not be a good man.
Well, they looked like a perfect match,when they were standing side by side. She also thought about how great it would be if the two of them could be a couple.
But now, Sherry decisively gave Tristan a low score in her mind. She insisted that Sophia was the best in the world, and no man was good enough for her.
However, beneath Sherry’s rich inner world, she heard Sophia’s cool and lazy voice, and she heard Sophia sofily reply. “Yes.”
It was beyond belief. Sherry couldn’t believe what she had heard.
Sherry’s head was buzzing for quite a while before she suddenly realized something. She swallowed hard and, with a tone of shock and disbelief, asked. “You can’t be saying that the one you’d try with, the one you’re truly engaged to is…Tristan, right?”
Sherry’s tone carried a hint of cautious probing. She stared unblinkingly at Sophia.
Under her intense gaze, Sophia slowly nodded.
“Oh my God!” Sherry jumped up instantly, ‘It’s really him! You two, when did you… “Her voice suddenly stopped.
Tristan, the Yeats Family. He would marry the daughter of the Roscente Family. Sophia was Sophia Roscente.
Sherry shouted out, “Sweetie, you’re the true heiress of the Roscente Family, the richest family in Virelial
Sophia transformed overnight into the true heiress of the wealthiest family. This status is way more impressive than hers.
Chloe righteously declared before that Sophia was just a poor girl who stole her life by being the heiress of the Stewart Family. Chloe would not believe what she lost.
The Roscente Family was the richest in Virelia. That was the dizzy heights that the Stewart Family could never reach, even in ten thousand years.
Sherry was thrilled and shocked for a long time before calming down, and then she asked, “So are you dating him?”
“Give it a try,” Sophia replied.
Sherry then thought of the other daughter in the Roscente Family, and tentatively asked, “Do you know there’s another daughter in the Roscente Family?”
“Xandra“” Sophia raised an eyebrow. Sherry understood that they had already met..
However, with Sophia’s abilities, that woman could definitely not gain any advantage. But she still worried about Sophia. She asked again, “Then…do you know how she feels about Tristan?”
“I know,” Sophia rested her chin on her hand, “I’ve met her a few times. She’s quite arrogant and really wants to marry
Tristan.
Sherry knew that Sophia always hated dealing with such emotional entanglements, so when she thought of the scandal involving Tristan and Xandra, she decisively ruled Tristan out.
Watching Sophia rest her cheek with a slightly amused expression. She felt a bit uneasy, “So sweetie, what do you think?”

Tristan will handle it himself, and my family will handle it as well. Sophia didn’t consider Xandra to be a threat.
It was clear that Xandra had ulterior motives. To the Roscente Family, Xandra’s behavior was equivalent to digging her own.
