Was Xandra overconfident, or just plain naive?
K.6%
Did she truly believe that she was the only one good enough for Tristan, and that Andrew Yeats would prioritize family interests above all else?
As if she could even compare to Sophia.
Gary, still amused by the earlier drama, said excitedly. “That’s not the point. The point is… that crazy family we bumped into at the hospital entrance! They were actually here to see Xandra.
At that moment, Mary was wheeling Xandra back to her room.
Xandra had just been snubbed by Andrew Yeats and witnessed Tristan and Sophia’s closeness firsthand.
She was furious, resentful, and utterly unwilling to accept the situation.
So, when she saw Chloe and her parents, who came bearing gifts, she was far from welcoming.
Especially when she saw the beaming smiles on Griffin and Felicity Stewart’s faces, it reminded her that the woman who had stolen everything from her had been raised by them.
Why hadn’t they just killed Sophia when they had the chance?
“Why had they allowed Sophia to survive?”
“Why did Sophia have to come back and ruin everything for me?!
Griffin and Felicity, completely oblivious to what had just transpired, greeted Xandra with wide smiles, showering her with compliments.
Chloe, too, spoke softly, inquiring about Xandra’s well–being and introducing her parents,
Their flattery revolved around Xandra being the sole heiress of the Roscente family, their most beloved princess, and how impressive she was at such a young age. No wonder the Roscentes doted on her so much.
For Xandra, already hypersensitive about Sophia’s return, these words were like daggers to her heart.
Then, Felicity, still smarting from being kicked out of the Raffle Hotel by Sophia that morning and witnessing Sophia flaunt Tristan’s influence, took the opportunity to subtly badmouth Sophia in front of Xandra.
Everyone in their circle knew that the Roscente and Yeats families were destined for a union.
Xandra, the sole heiress of the Roscente family, was undoubtedly Tristan’s rightful fiancée.
Sophia was nothing more than a gold digger who had slept her way to Tristan’s side.
As long as Xandra made a move, Tristan, out of respect for the Roscente family, would surely cut all ties with Sophia.
Without Tristan’s backing. Sophia would have to crawl back to them, begging for their forgiveness.
The outcome was predictable.
When Griffin presented the gifts, Xandra grabbed a box and hurled it at his face. “Get out! Get the hell out!”

All the flattery and backhanded comments landed squarely on Xandra’s sore spots.
She had just been thoroughly humiliated by Sophia and Tristan. Their arrival was a stark reminder of that humiliation.
Griffin and Felicity were dumbfounded, completely at a loss as to what they had said wrong.
Chloe’s face paled.
She had brought her parents here to show them her value, hoping they could use this opportunity to connect with Xandra.
If the Stewart family could get in with the Roscentes, Ethan would surely hear about it.
Then….
Gloria Baker, that proud and haughty woman, would have to come crawling to them, apologizing and trying to curry favor
with the Stewarts
She had it all planned out.
But she hadn’t anticipated Xandra’s volatile temper and the outburst in front of her parents.
If Xandra actually kicked them out now, Griffin and Felicity would question whether her relationship with Xandra was as close as she had claimed, even to the point of starting a studio together.
And Griffin… would inevitably see her as having no value.
Especially since he already believed Sophia was more valuable than her.
If Griffin thought she was inferior to Sophia, even with Felicity on her side, she might not be able to hold onto her position as the Stewart family’s heiress.
“Xandra…”
The thought of being trampled under Sophia’s feet again, and possibly returning to the hellhole of the slums, sent a wave of panic through Chloe.
No!
She had finally escaped that living hell.
She would never go
back!
Sophia had stolen twenty years of her luxurious life, forcing her to endure twenty years of suffering in Sophia’s place.
And now Sophia wanted to steal from her again?
She carried the blood of the wealthy Stewart family. She was the one who truly deserved to stand at the pinnacle of high society.
She would never be inferior to Sophia!
Chloe pinned all her hopes and stakes on Xandra. If she could grasp this trump card, she could use Xandra to enter the truly
elite circles.
Then, the value she could bring would be immeasurable.
Both the Stewart and Baker families would have to come and please her, begging for her help!
Chloe, observing Xandra’s furious and distorted expression, calmed down somewhat. She could pretty much guess the

reason for Xandra’s anger.
Xandra was in this very hospital.
And they had just seen Sophia and Tristan at the hospital entrance, looking so close.
Although State Hospital was vast….
It was highly possible they had just bumped into each other.
Otherwise, Xandra’s face wouldn’t look so terrible.
Just now, Felicity Stewart, in an attempt to fuel Xandra’s hatred of Sophia, had deliberately mentioned Sophia and Tristan, which had completely enraged Xandra.
Knowing the cause of Xandra’s anger made it much easier to handle.
Chloe’s eyes darted, and she met Xandra’s simmering gaze, walking over to her bedside. “Xandra, don’t let irrelevant people. get to you. If you get upset, wouldn’t that be exactly what some people want?”
“Beides, if you’re really angry with her, doesn’t that mean you’ve admitted defeat?”
Chloe sat down in the chair beside the bed. “You and Mr. Yeats grew up together, childhood sweethearts. How can someone who appeared out of nowhere compare to that? Mr. Yeats is just blinded by her looks.”
“Moreover, everyone in the Yeats Family views you as the future matriarch. How could the Yeats Family possibly accept a woman who only has a pretty face, but no ability or background?”
Xandra clenched her fists, a dark and cold glint flashing in her eyes.
If Sophia were really just an ordinary, poor girl from the slums, she naturally wouldn’t consider Sophia a rival.
But… Sophia was the one who had stolen her proud identity as the true heiress of the Roscente Family.
Even the man she loved was stolen by Sophia!
Once, she had used the marriage agreement between the Roscente and Yeats families to chase after Tristan, wanting to solidify the union.
But now, this very marriage agreement was hindering her every move.
That engagement… never belonged to her in the first place.
Chloe had said a lot, but Xandra’s expression only grew darker. It even seemed like she was about to ask Mary to kick them
OUL
Chloe started to panic.
She couldn’t figure out what Xandra was thinking.
During the auction, when she said those things. Xandra had clearly agreed with her.
It was just Sophia
Xandra was the precious princess of the Roscente Family.
Sophia was nothing to be afraid of.
But, perhaps it was her imagination, she always felt that… when Sophia was mentioned, Xandra had a strange sense of fear?

Fear… of Sophia
“How is this possible?!”
Chloe couldn’t afford to think too much at this moment. She had to stay in this ward before Xandra ordered her out.
Her eyes flashed, and she decisively changed her approach. “Xandra, the true matriarchs of wealthy families are chosen not only for their matching social status but, more importantly, for their compatible abilities”
“Looking at the whole of Perino, the only one who can match a goil like Mr. Yeats is you, Xandra”
“Even if Sophia were a princess of Perino, she’s just a country bumpkin who grew up in the wild and didn’t even finish high school. There’s no way she can stay by Mr. Yeats‘ side for long.
Xandra’s eyes flickered slightly, and her previously furious expression gradually softened.
Seeing this. Chloe knew she had chosen the right direction.
She immediately continued. “So, Xandra, just relax. You’re so outstanding, so capable. Now, for Mr. Yeats, we’ve even returned to the country to start a studio together. Once your studio is officially on track, Mr. Yeats will definitely see your abbity, your excellence. He’ll understand what kind of woman is truly worthy of standing by his side!*
Xandra lowered her eyes.
Chloe’s words reminded her.
Even if Sophia was the Roscente Family’s heiress, she was still a woman who came from the countryside.
A country woman who hadn’t even finished high school, how could the Yeats Family, who practically controlled the global economy and stood at the pinnacle of power, accept such a woman as their matriarch?
No matter how much Tristan liked her.
It was absolutely impossible!
And she had to completely secure her position as the Yeats Family’s matriarch before Sophia’s identity was exposed!
Chloe, seeing the gleam in Xandra Roscente’s eyes, immediately struck while the iron was hot, “Xandra, actually, the reason why I brought my parents here today is, firstly, to visit you, and secondly… It’s about the studio we are going to establish. My parents want to invest in it.”
Finally, the key issue was raised. Griffin Stewart’s eyebrows lifted in delight, and he no longer cared about being hit by Xandra earlier. He put on a smiling face and approached.
Xandra narrowed her eyes, a hint of mockery in them, as she glanced at the three of them.
She scoffed lightly. “Do you think I need your petty investment?”
Griffin’s smile froze, and he coughed awkwardly. “Miss Roscente, of course, wouldn’t need my meager sum. I just want to do my part to support my daughter’s first venture”
Xandra clearly saw through Grithu’s intentions.
Ever since she returned to the country and wanted to create her own fashion studio, many wealthy families in the circle had been eager to get involv
