Chapter 165
Sophia’s smile clearly held mockery and ridicule.
Now she realized why there were rumors abour Lukas and Violet
If she hadn’t dined with Lukas, she would have believed Violet’s lies.
Violet was so shameless and bold to have done so.
“Why are you amiling!” Camilla wanted to see Sophia exposed and ashamed, instead of smiling in this way
But Sophia only smiled more brightly and stared at her coldly. “You’re so silly”
Her eyes met
met Violet’s warning and sinister gaze. You just believe what she says.”
“Why not?” Camila sneered. “Don’t you know who Violet is? She is from the Hayes Family. She will marry Mr. Roscente. What she said cannot be false”
When Camila said that, Violet, however, frowned slightly and tugged at her arm
But Camila obviously didn’t understand what she meant Instead, she became even more agitated. “Violet, don’t be shy. This is already a done deal. Your engagement is only a matter of time! They should treat you as the future Mr Rosente!”
Violet had also regarded herself as Lukas fiancee, and that’s why she broke into his office just now to send him lunch
However, this was her own wishful thinking.
Camila spoke so bluntly in front of everyo
everyone. If it reached Lukas ears, she would be turned out of here for good and all! But so many people were staring at her and talking about her relationship
hip with Lukas
Furthermore, Sophia’s appearance in the office and Cart’s attitude made her qualmish. She wondered if Sophia was Lukas girlfriend. At the thought of it, her limbs grew icy
She had no intention of clearing the rumors. She only wanted to make things difficult for Sophia. “Camila, that’s enough. Lukas doesn’t like anyone talking about his private affairs at the company.”
Camila curled her lips. She was unwilling to stop, but since this was her future workplace, she’d better behave herself.
“Is that so! He doesn’t like anyone talking about his private affaire? Or mayb mockery flashing in her eyes, “Does Lukas himself know that he is that familiar with you?”
maybe you’re just afraid to continue your lie? Sophia chuckled softly,
Sophia didn’t want
want to hear anyone foul her brother’s reputation, especially Violet, the illegitimate daughter who was at odds with Sherry
Violet flustered.
Camila cui in, “What are you talking about Mr. Roscence is familiar with Violet, at least more familiar than you, a bitch from the slums! Are you jealous that Violet could be Mr. Roscente’s girlfriend!
“Look at yourself. Shabby, shoddy, and miserable! How dare you covet Mr. Roscente
Camila held Violet’s hand. “Violet is charming and successful even without considering her family background. She established her own clothing brand that got popular throughout Perino. We all admire and respect her. As for you, besides that face of yours, what else is there for you to be proud of?
Violet’s face had turned cold because of Sophia, but now, being praised so highly, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of confidence
Camila was right.
She was charming and successful enough even if she was not Miss Hayes!
She believed she herself could match Lukas!
When she heard Camila say that Sophia coveted Lukas, she studied Sophia more carefully.
‘charming and successful?

“Can you deny that the Hayes Family’s influence does help to make your brand successful?
Think about it. Are your customers flattering your design or the Hayes Family behind you?”
Her cool voice carried a hint of disdain and mocking sarcasm.
But every word was sharp and to the point
Violet’s face turned more and more paler.
She couldn’t have started her clothing brand solely on her own.
Without the Hayes Family’s help, she wouldn’t have gotten so much funding.
Without the Hayes Family’s intervention, her newly established brand couldn’t have had so much popularity and discussion, nor could she have the qualifications to hold one fashion show after another as a newcomer designer.
If she was not Miss Hayes, even if she had the ability to run her own fashion show, none of the big names in the industry would come to back her up.
In
n the final analysis, the success of “Intellectuelle” was closely linked to the Hayes Family.
Violet could not refute
The pride that had just surged in her heart collapsed in an instant.
Camila’s face was also very ugly
As the daughter of a senior executive, she knew the answers to Sophia’s question. She could not be what she was without her family
Weren’t it for her father’s position, the would have never been able to enjoy her luxurious life, nor could she go to an Ivy League College.
To be so blatantly exposed by Sophis, she felt as if they were nothing without their family background
into a good family is an advantage, which you
Camila’s smog face froze, but soon a scornful look quickly returned to her face. “So what? Being born into a good family don’t have!”
They were lucky to be born into a wealthy family. So they were entitled to resources and treatments that ordinary people couldn’t enjoy in their lifetime.
“We’re not acting in a TV drama Should we prove our abilities in spite of our status, wealth, and influence?” Camila sneered. “Violet’s starting point is higher than you ordinary people. She has access to more resources and opportunities than you. That’s reality,
“What she gets at
at birth is the peak that you, someone from the slums, can never reach.
“Are you jealous?”
Camila’s arrogance and pride were almost overflowing since there was finally a way to humiliate Sophia.
Sophia shrugged, her charming lips curving. “But from the beginning to the end, it’s you who’s been saying she doesn’t have to rely on her family”
Camila’s triumphant smile froze on her lips.
Sophia’s gaze shifted, cool and distant, landing on Violet
Her smile widened.
The instant her gaze swept over Violet, Violet felt her scalp tighten, her heart sinking heavily.
Sophia continued, her voice cool and mockish. “Miss Hayes, you are indeed fortunate in your birth. Your mother was very attentive in finding you a father who could give you a head start in life.
The last few words, uttered slowly, were laced with even more irony.
Vinder’s heart skipped a beat. Her fair face turned ashen. “Shut up!”
Terribed that Sophia would reveal her identity, she flung off Camila’s arm and strode towards Sophili, trying to catch her arm.
In public, her voice was low and laced with gritted teeth. “What on earth do you want!”
But just as her lund reached out. Sophia brushed it aside.
She looked at Vioder “Miss Hayes, in bribe me, can you give me whatever I want!”

Her smile was so dazzling that it was almost i
impossible to look away
But Violet only felt a sharp sting. “How much do you want?”
I them you’re
“Money?” Sophia chuckled, “I am not short of that.” A playful smile appeared on her face. “I just enjoy seeing you panic, afraid I tell
You illegitimate.”
Her voice also lowered, but she deliberately emphasized the word “illegitimate“.
Violet’s face turned livid. Sophia tapped it with her slender fingers roguishly.
“Miss Hayes. It seems that you do have some self–awareness”
Sophia was obviously humiliating Violet
The onlookers couldn’t believe their eyes.
Sophia was so bold and reckless. That was not strange.
But Miss Hayes didn’t swear or fight back. They couldn’t figure out why.
It was just unbelievable.
Helena was apprehensive. Her brows furrowed confusedly as she saw Sophia pat Violet’s face humiliatingly while Violet showed no sign of fighting back in spite of her grim face.
A faint unease crept into her heart.
It was too strange,
How could Camila and Violer fail to gain the slightest advantage in front of Sophia?
“The interview will continue soon. Everyone, return to your seats and sit down. What’s the point of crowding here?”
Suddenly, someone quickly walked over from the other end of the corridor.
The crowd looked up and saw four middle–aged men in suits and ties.
The one who spoke was the middle–aged man at the front. He looked irritated and impatient.
The interviewees instantly dispersed and returned to their seats according to the number plates they had drawn earlier.
After they
y were gone, the five people standing in the middle of the corridor became particularly conspicuous…
“Why are you standing there for? Are you giving up your interview?” The man shouted angrily
His gaze immediately fell on Sophia and Violet
Sophia’s face was the most attractive one among these young and beautiful faces.
Moreover, the man immediately recognized that the one being humiliated by Sophia was Violet, the daughter of the Hayes Family
The middle–aged hurried over. “Miss Hayes, what’s going on? You, let go of Miss Hayes!”
He was to pull Sophia’s arm.
But Sophia suddenly grabbed Violet’s chin and shoved her toward the middle–aged man.
With twelve–centimeter high heels on her feet, Violet stumbled.
Fortunately, the middle–aged man supported her waist in time with his own hands, otherwise, Violet would have fallen to the ground in
embarassment.
Their postures were somewhat intimate.
Violet’s hands rested on the man’s shoulders, while the man’s hand was on her waist.
She was almost in the man’s arms.
Violet’s face went green.
She pushed him away forcefully as soon as she steadied herself

hands tucked in his pockets.
Violet’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately straightened up and smoothed her dress.
That was Patrick
She wondered if he had seen it, and if he would tell it to Lukas.
“Miss Hayes, are you alright?” The middle–aged man was almost aroused because of the hug, but he quickly calmed himself down.
He was far from being able to fantasize Miss Hayes.
Violet’s face turned livid. But since he had just helped her, she couldn’t lash out at him. She only snorted coldly and gave him a cold look
The middle–aged man, Brody Hughes, was a senior executive. He took Violet’s livid face as a sign of her displeasure
and
anger towards Sophia.
He frowned at Sophia. “Are you one of the interviewers! I’m afraid you have lost the qualification for the interview. From now on, you will never be hired by any branch under the Roscente Group”
“She is

to be here.
She shouted, “She didn’t even finish high school. How could she be qualified! She must have employed some tricks to
The man’s expression softened considerably when he saw Camila, his own daughter.
His look became ugly. “Where is security? What did they do? How can they let her in?”
As he spoke, he picked up his phone to call the security chief
“Mr. Hughes” Sophia narrowed her eyes and glanced back and forth between him and Camila. She instantly realized their relationship. “It seems you no longer have the right to decide any interviewees fate.”
Brody’s fingers froze on the phone. He stared at Sophia with a frown.
He wondered how the knew it
The order had just been given to them by Kala twenty minutes ago.
He didn’t think anyone else could know the news so soon apart from him and the other interviewers.
“They are senior executives of the company and the interviewers for this time. How dare you talk nonsense in front of them?” Camila snapped and repeated what Sophia had just said to the executives.
The four senior executives looked at each other in surprise. Brody’s face turned cold. “The order had just been given. How did you know in advance? Are you a spy sent by another company?”
The other people instantly surrounded Sophia Brody dialed the security chief’s number “Send a few guards to the interview area. There’s a commercial spy. Take her to the police station immediately!”
Camila’s face lit up with joy when she heard that
She would take a video and post it online when the security guards threw Sophia out!
That was what she deserved for confronting her father!
Though her face was pretty, she would be finished.
Camila couldn’t wait to see Sophia’s downfall.
However, Sophia was still smiling, her face betraying no panic. Her eyebrows rose slightly as she chuckled nonchalantly. “A spy? Mr. Hughes, do you have any idea what kind of place Roscenic Group is!”
ou take a guess.
Her tone and her way of looking at him dripped with mockery. The father and daughter were both foolish in her eyes. “Why don’t you Mr. Hughes? How do I know something that was just decided, something only the top executives would know?”

He frowned in displeasure
What was there to gurių!

The former was impossible in his view.
His daughter had just said that this girl hadn’t even finished high school and wasn’t qualified to interview at Koscente Group. How could she be sent by Mr. Boscenic!
It serins v
you’ve already guessed it Sophia could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression. “You can’t believe it, can you
Brody’s breath hitched, and he examined Sophia with scrutiny
She meant she’s the former. The thought startled him
Impossible? He thosight.
Of course he couldn’t believe it!
He had been working for this company for twenty years, and he knew something about Mr. Hoscente
Mr. Roscente had always kept his distance from wamen, and apart from the rumors with Miss Hayes, there was none with any other women.
So this girl couldn’t possibly have fooled Mr. Rascente into disregarding company etiquette with her looks.
What’s more, Miss Hayes, Mr. Roscente’s rumored fiancér, was present at the scene
This must be impossible!
But Sophia looked so confident as if that was true.
“What are you talking about? Guess what? Camila looked at her father, who remained silent with an unusually unsightly expression.
Her heart sank heavily.
This was extraordinary!
Sophia had humiliated Violet, and then she made her father silent.
What was wrong with this woman!
Camila subconsciously hid behind her father and glared at Sophia resentfully.
“What am I saying?” Sophia drawled, her eyebrows raising slightly with an air of aloofness that made her exquisite face more vivid and bright. “Im saying that I am the one who can decide whether you stay or not.”
Her tone was languid, but every word struck everyone’s heart like a thunderbolt.
Brody’s face was full of shock and disbelief, his complexion turning from livid to p
to pale.
Camila’s mind went blank for a moment, unable to understand Sophia’s words
Decide her day!
Sophia!
“You” She was about to swear, but Brody grabbed her arm, stopping the words about to come out of her mouth,
Brody tried hard to swallow it, his eyes b xed on Sophia with suspicion. “How can you prove that you are the chief examiner sent by Mr. Roseente to assist our department!”
“I can prove it.”
A frivolous voice came from not far away, laced with frivolity.
Hands tucked casually in his pockets, Patrick sauntered toward them.
He declared word by word. “She is indeed the chief examiner.
With that, he winked at Sophia with a hint of ingratiation. “And she is definitely qualified for the role
“Mr. Patrick Boscente”
‘s heart sank as he saw Patrick. His last hope was extinguished.
When Sophia admined to being the chief examiner, a flicker of hope was still ignited within him.
After all, it seemed completely impossible.

However, Patrick’s announcement was different
If he said she w
was the
chief examiner, then she must be.
He could not help but become curious about the girl’s identity, which must be very influential to make Mr. Roscente decide this way.
“The chief examiner! You’re saying she’s the chief examiner for our interview? Camila finally came to her senses, her face turning pale with fright.
When she saw her
father clenching her arm and nokling, Camila felt like she had been struck by a bolt from the blue.
