Mr. and Mrs. Stewart had received a promise from Xandra in the afternoon. They had completely linked the idea of investing in Xandra’s studio with collaborating with the Roscente family.
They were positively beaming with pride and satisfaction.
They certainly had to reward Chloe.
It was a pity that not long after they booked the private room, Chloe was called away by Ethan.
Although the Baker family’s situation was a bit complicated at the moment.
The Baker family is still almost a top–tier family, and the marriage alliance between the two families is still necessary under the current circumstances.
As for the conflict between Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Baker…
Well, when it came to business, the conflict was nothing.
Chloe left, but since the money had been paid, they decided to stay and enjoy the leisurely life.
They stayed in the restaurant, continuing to celebrate their connection with the Roscente family.
The celebration lasted until the restaurant closed.
As soon as they walked out, Hudson just drove the car here.
They saw Sophia getting out of a car, with a simply dressed young man beside her.
The two of them exchanged a few words.
Then the young man rode a bike away.
With Mrs. Stewart’s keen eye, she immediately took in the young man’s appearance. She quickly sized him up–his entire outfit probably didn’t add up to more than one hundred bucks.
As for the black car… a commoner’s one, at most worth thirty thousand.
Disdain flickered in Felicity’s gaze.
Earlier that day, Sophia had stood proudly next to Tristan as they entered the Raffle Hotel, the symbol of Virelia’s influence.

She even had the manager kick them out.
And now, here she is.
Standing beside a ‘cheap‘ guy.
Riding in a cheap car that probably wouldn’t even hit the thirty thousand bucks.
Felicity was secretly thrilled while expressing her d
This was the moment she had longed for–Sophia’s fall from grace.
She had been so haughty earlier, strutting around, acting high and mighty in front of them, even getting them thrown out of the Raffle Hotel.

Now, just look at her. Reduced to staying with some nobody who can only afford sharing bikes.
It was clear now: someone as noble as Tristan could never truly fall for someone like Sophia—this lowly girl.
She belonged where she came from–slums.
How dare she show her face in front of the upper–class?
Tristan’s initial interest in her had surely been nothing more than a passing fancy.
Felicity immediately grabbed Griffin, eager to watch Sophia’s humiliation up close.
Griffin didn’t stop her.

First of all, in the afternoon, at Xandra’s hospital room, Chloe had convinced Xandra to approve their request for shares. The reason Xandra agreed was that she believed there was a significant rift between Sophia and the Stewart family.
Xandra was the heiress of the Roscente family, the legitimate fiancée of Tristan Yeats.
It was impossible for Xandra to like a woman who had stolen her fiancé.
Now that they had caught Xandra’s attention, they were one step closer to gaining the support of the Roscente family.
Moreover, Xandra Roscente was Tristan’s real fiancée.
In that case, there was no longer any need to try to win Sophia back in hopes of getting close to Tristan.
All they needed to do was flatter Xandra, cling to her like a lifeline, and naturally, they’d gain access to Tristan.
When the time came, both the Yeats family and the Roscente family would be backing the Stewart family.
Why would they still need Sophia?
And secondly, it was still because of the humiliation Sophia had caused the Stewart family at the Raffle Hotel earlier that afternoon, making them the laughingstock of Virelia.
Now, they had no interest in reconciling with her.
It was only natural to settle scores–revenge for what she’d done
Sophia merely glanced at them, a faint, indifferent look in her eyes as she read their thoughts.

After all, she’d been a part of the Stewart family for twenty years. Though they hadn’t been close, she understood them well enough.
These two…
They were still holding a grudge over being kicked out of the Raffle Hotel.
But what did it matter to her?
Sophia had no intention of engaging with them. She just wanted to get in the
car and leave.
Suddenly, Felicity stepped forward and slammed her hand on the car door, closing it with a resounding thud.
She eyed the plastic bag in Sophia’s hand with contempt, her tone dripping with mockery. “Tsk, tsk. So, you managed to
climb your way into Mr. Yeats’s good graces, huh? But you’re still just a little gutter rat. Not only did he not buy you a nice car, but you’re out here eating weeds like some street scavenger

The plastic bag in Sophia’s hand was just the kind that could be found at a local market, stuffed with herbs that did indeed look like random wild grasses.
“I always said it–girls like you, with nothing but a pretty face, think they can seduce men and get rich. But someone like Mr. Yeats? Do you really think he’s someone you could ever dream of having?”
Felicity sneered, her posture full of aristocratic arrogance as she tilted her chin. “How long has it been? You were bold enough to show off in the Raffle Hotel, but now look at you. Already discarded by Mr. Yeats?”
Sophia didn’t react to her words. Felicity continued, “Here you are, fallen so low. Look, I’ll do you a favor. Since you called me ‘mom‘ for twenty years, how about I throw you a few hundred bucks? At least it’ll help you get through your time eating this grass.”
She said this, lifting a hand with perfectly manicured nails to cover her lips, laughing loudly with exaggerated amusement.
She couldn’t wait to see Sophia–so proud and aloof, with that cold, detached look on her face–begging her for money.
However…
Sophia only gave her a cold, indifferent glance, her expression unchanging. There was no flicker of emotion in her eyes.
And that single glance made Felicity feel a strange chill creep up her spine.
“Get out of my way.”
Sophia’s voice was low, flat, and carried a chilling edge.
Felicity instinctively swallowed, and under the force of that icy stare and tone, she felt her heart tighten.
The overwhelming pressure, as if it could suffocate her, made Felicity flare with a mix of anger and humiliation.
How dare this little wild girl, someone the Stewart family had cast aside, treat her like this?
Felicity’s face twisted in fury, her gaze now filled with disgust as she glared at Sophia. “Sophia, you think you still have Mr. Yeats behind you? Let me tell you, the Stewart family is now cooperating with the Roscente family. Do you know who they are? That’s Mr. Yeats’s real fiancée’s family.”
“When Mr. Yeats marries Xandra Roscente, what do you think will be left for you? Hmph- Same surname, but such different fates, don’t you think?”
Sophia’s eyebrows rose slightly, as if attracted by Felicity’s words.
Cooperation?
She hadn’t heard anything about this.
Andrew should’ve known… She had no feelings for the Stewart family.
So,
