Chapter 157
Mr. Rocente froze. looking down at the chopsticks in his hand, realizing that one was right and the other was upside down.
A slight trace of embarrassment crossed his face, but he quickly resumed his serious demeanor, pretending nothing happened. “Ahem, it’s nothing. just… Lukai called just now. He said there’s something going on at the company and wanted to know if you had time to help”
Sophia raised an eyebrow. “Is it about revising the proposal from last time?”
Mr. Roscente shook his head quickly. “No.
o, it’s just a small maner. If you’re free after eating, Walter can take you to the company
Sophia narrowed her eyes, watching her Andrew. Something about his behavior felt of.
He was obviously planning something behind the scenes.
But since he wasn’t saying anything, there was no point in probing further.
After all, she trusted that her Andrew wouldn’t harm her, and that was enough.
Sophia agreed
After eating, and resting for an hour at home, Walter drove her to the entrance of the Roscente Group.
The Rower Group’s headquarters was located in Virelias prime business district, with its towering skyscrapers gleaming.
Sophia got out of the car and nearly had her eyes blinded by the splendor of the building.
Thats the gliner of gold walking!
Miss Roscente, I’ve already
ly called Mr. Rosenie. He’s in a meeting, so please wait in the lobby. His assistant will be down to meet you soon,” Walter said, hanging up the phone.
Sophia nodded.
After watching Walter drive off, she turned and entered the Roscente Group.
The interior was even more impressive than the outside. Sophia couldn’t help but whistle in awe.
Indeed, the riches family.
This was way too extravagant
She walked towards the waiting area in the lobby
Even though it was just a guest waiting area, the design was exquisite-
Leather sofas, expensive plants, and a coffee table that looked like it had been sculpted from diamonds, with an array of delicate snacks on display.
Beside the waiting area was a bar.
Sophia wondered what kind of day it was at the Roscente Group. The area, which could hold about thirty people, was already packed with several
All of them appeared young
Sophia didn’t think too much of it and chose a corner seat
In this luxurious environment, her hoodie and black pants made her feel out of place.
But her face–her striking beauty–was hard to ignore.
Not long after she sat down, two girls sitting on a nearby sofa suddenly raised their voices, deliberately sharp. “Seriously, anyone thinks they can come to the Koscente Group for an interview? Some people really have no self–awareness”
“What kind of place is the oscente Group? Does she really

Sophia terpt her gaze over them
She saw the two girls wearing last season’s Chanel skirt suits, their makeup and hairstyles meticulously done, looking like they were at a beauty puerant, arrogantly lifting their chuna in her direction.

Sophia: 72
cy talking about me?
Are they
Perhaps because Sophia had glanced at them, one of the girls with brown curly hair stood up, arms crossed, eyeing her up and down with a condescending look
She sneered. “Miss, which school did you graduate from! What gives you the guts to come to the Roscente Group?”
The others waiting also turned their attention toward Sophia.
When they saw her simple attire, their faces showed subile
expressions of surprise
Sophia narrowed her eyes, casting a faint glance at the girl, then coolly looked away.
It seemed she had no intention of responding.

Her tone was full of superiority, as she looked down on Sophia.
Sophia, however, didn’t even bat an eyelash, her finely sculpted brows slightly furrowed.
The girl’s face grew even darker, and she raised her hand as if to shove Sophia’s shoulder. “Hey! I’m talking to you! Don’t you understand?”
As the hand was about to touch Sophia’s shoulder, her slender white fingers had already pressed against the girl’s wrist.
Just a firm push of her fingertips.
The girl let out a sharp cry of pain, her finely made–up face twisted in agony, and she struggled desperately.
“Hey! What are you doing” Another girl, dressed in a light pink skirt, hurried over, trying to rescue the girl. Her face turned bright red with anger. “How can you hit someone? Do you want me to call security and have them throw you out? You’ll lose your chance at this interview!”
Sophia’s indifferent gaze swept over the two girls.
Then, she casually tossed the girl in the light green skirt away.

The girl in the light green skirt felt a sudden chill when that gaze passed over her.
Then, an overwhelming sense of humiliation followed.
Her eyes reddened as she rubbed her wrist, gritting her teeth and speaking angrily, “Who allowed someone like you to come to the Roseente Group! Who knows what bottom–tier university you graduated from! How dare you stand in the same place as me? You’re lowering the bar for all
of us!
She intentionally rallied everyone in the waiting area, trying to gather support
Sophia’s face was a mask of barely hidden disgust
Her eyes grew colder as she slowly stood up.
irl in the light green Just as she was about to speak, suddenly a girl dressed in a white dress set her phone down and quickly walked over to the girl in skin. “Camila, shh… stop. She she’s probably not here for the same interview as us. She she didn’t even attend college. Just leave her alone”
The girl in the white dress spoke as if trying to defuse the situation, but her words only wanted Sophia to feel humiliated.
Hadn’t even gone to college?
The onlookers now looked at Sophia with even stranger expressions.
Sophia glanced at the girl in the white dress–she looked familiar, the same girl who had been trailing behind Chloe earlier.
“Hal” Camila Hughes sneered when she heard that Sophia hadn’t even finished high school. Her face twisted into an expression of ridicule and disdain Ta Halulu! No wonder you couldn’t answer when asked which university you graduated from. Turns out, you didn’t even finish high school. That’s just hilarious. Someone who didn’t even fini high school dares to be among us top university graduates? Do you think the Rowente Group is a place that people like you belong tor

“Maybe you came here just to take some photos and post them on social media, to inflate your image?”
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, “Ah! I came in with her. The car she was in was a Maybach!”
Maybach
Everyone was stunned, quickly wiping the expressions of amusement off their faces.
Anyone who could ride in a Maybach, even if they had never completed primary school, was not someone they could casually discuss
Even though they had all graduated from prestigious universities, so what?
Even if they worked for decades, they might not be able to afford a Maybach.
Camila’s expression of mockery immediately froze, and she didn’t dare to make another sarcastic remark.
The girl, Helena, who had been Chloe’s follower, raised her hand in shock and covered her mouth “A Maybach How could she afford a Maybach! She’s from a slum area.
When she heard this, Camila’s stiff expression relaxed, and her gaze turned venomous as she stared at Sophia’s face, which, though free of makeup, was still strikingly beautiful and alluring. She followed up with the words from Helena: “Look at what she’s wearing. All cheap stuff from Ebay, probably not even worth one hundred dollars. Do you think she could afford a Maybach!”
“A woman who can step out of a Maybach–what could it be for? Just look at her face. She’s nothing more than a se of person who was abandoned by her mother…”
Slap!
Camila’s voice was suddenly cut off by a sharp slap
The intense pain left her stunned for a moment.

By the time the pain spread across her face, burning like fire, her face twisted with agony.
“The fact that I’m standing here means that people like me belong at the Rosenie Group”
Sophia’s voice was calm and cold, as icy as her expression, carrying a chilling sharpness.
Her eyelids lifted slightly, and her lips curled into a mocking arc. “And I’m perfectly clear that, people like you are definitely not qualified to pass. the interview at the Koscente Group.
As she spoke, her gaze slowly swept across the three girls who had just jumped up.
You-
Camila’s anger flared uncontrollably, and she hissed, wanting to curse. However, as her mouth moved a little too widely, the muscles in her face were pulled, causing a slurp pain that made her eyes water.
Sophia let out a soft scoff. Slowly, she took a tissue from the coffee table and began wiping her hand, which had just slapped someone.
Her fingers were long and delicate, like white jade.
The tissue, pure white and almost blinding, brushed across her fingers.
It was such a simple motion, yet, when she sat up, it seemed incredibly graceful and languid.
Afterward, she lightly tossed the tissue at Camila’s face.
Turning, she began walking toward the elevator leading to the Roscent
