As Sophia reached the stairs, a clear and delightful voice, full of playful laughter, drifted up from below.
“Grandpa, I’m back! I missed you so much. You have no idea how hard it’s been for me in Nordoch these days.”
The sweet, soft voice carried a hint of coquettisliness, But, thinking of my family, I knew I couldn’t let the Roscente Family: be shamed, so I worked really hard! Fortunately, this fashion show was a great success, and my brand has broken into the international market.”
That voice…
Sophia felt it sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
Hearing that sweet voice calling “Grandpa” she slightly frowned.
Butler Walter seemed to have mentioned before….
In the Roscente Family, there was only one girl
So who was this woman calling her grandfather, “Grandpa”
Moreover….
It seemed that the woman wasn’t the only guest.
Judging from the footsteps, at least two more people had stood before Grandpa.
Sophia slightly raised her eyebrows.
She had a hunch.
This lunch….
It was unlikely to go smoothly.
Perhaps she should… have Butler Walter fetch her something to fill her stomach first?
As she was thinking this.
She heard luggage being wheeled in, and saw five or six servants carrying a large heap of suitcases into the room.
“Who told you to come?” Edward asked coldly, “What are you doing?”
The woman with the sweet voice replied coquettishly, “I heard that Grandpa’s health hasn’t been good lately. I’m rarely in the country, so of course, I want to stay by Grandpa’s side and take care of you
“No need,” Edward’s tone was cold, “I have company.
The woman with the sweet, soft voice paused, seemingly embarrassed by Edward’s refusal. After a few seconds, she continued with a smile, “Who? Who else could be better than me your granddaughter?”
Granddaughter?

Sophia furrowed her brows.
The woman was her grandfather’s granddaughter.
Then what was she?
No… Where did that woman come from anyway?
This was even stranger than Chloe’s sudden appearance.
Sophia frowned slightly, walked down the steps, and looked at the people in the hall.
In her sight was the sofa in the hall. Edward was still sitting on the sofa, and in front of him stood a woman wearing a pink georgette dress, with exquisite makeup, a good figure, and an outstanding temperament.
Behind the woman were two tall and straight figures in formal aire, facing away from her direction.
Upon hearing the footsteps.
Edward was the first to look up.
Immediately after, the woman also looked over.
The instant their eyes met.
The woman’s face, with its exquisite makeup, stiffened suddenly, and her beautifully made–up eyes shot out a fierce and harsh glint.
“Why are you here?!”
The woman’s voice was no longer sweet and soft, but sharp and piercing
Sophia raised an eyebrow slightly, her gaze lingering on the woman’s face for a few seconds, then she sneered lightly. “I should be the one asking you, why are you here?”
This woman…
Wasn’t she Tristan’s admirer, the little princess exuding an air of superiority as a distinguished heiress, Xandra?
How could she be in the Roscente Family residence?
And how could she call her grandfather, “Grandpa“?
And they looked close?
Xandra.
Roscente?
Could they belong to the same Roscente Family?
Grandpa had another grandchild??

“This is my home. Xandra narrowed her eyes, staring intently at the girl standing at the top of the steps.
39%
The girl wore a simple white T–shirt and black pants, her figure im and tall. Her hair was casually tied at the back of her head, with droplets of water still clinging to it, a few strands falling down, adding a touch of laziness.
This kind of laziness, it was as if she were in her own home.
Xandra’s eyes darkened. Was this Sophia washing her hair in her house?
How dare she??
⚫Dressed like this, shabby and ordinary, did she not feel out of place in this luxurious estate?
“Your home?” Sophia chuckled softly, leaning lazily against the banister behind her. She cocked her eyebrows slightly and looked at Edward. “Don’t you owe me an explanation?”
That arrogant and reckless posture made the chill in Xandra’s eyes even more noticeable.
In front of Edward, she could only be obedient and delicate, trying to please Edward.
But Sophia dared to question Edward with such a posture?
Did she really think she was someone important?
“Sophia, are you trying to fool my grandpa too?” Due to Edward’s presence, Xandra did not dare to show a trace of her usual arrogance and pride. She could only suppress the anger bubbling inside her, staring coldly at Sophia.
Xandra looked at Edward, then at Sophia, a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes. “Grandpa, did Tris introduce her to you? Saying she was a miracle doctor, right?”
That was right!
How could a lowly person like Sophia, born in the slums, possibly appear in this place?
The Roscente Family Manor….
That was a place even she found difficult to set foot in.
It must be Tristan!
This Sophia pretended to be a divine doctor and deceived Tristan.
And since his grandfather’s health had recently declined, Tristan introduced Sophia to him.
This vile woman truly was deceiving people everywhere!
She tricked Tristan, and then even Edward!
“Grandpa, don’t believe her, Xandra bit her red lip, showing a warried expression. She is a fraud! I know her sister, who told me that she grew up in the countryside and didn’t even graduate high school. How could she possibly be a divine doctor? I don’t know what trick she used to deceive Tris.. And now, she wants to deceive you too!”
Xandra blurted that out and stepped forward, intending to sit next to Edward, wrapping his arm in a feigned affectionate

However, she had only taken one step towards Edward.
With a swish, Edward stood up directly.
He didn’t even cast a sidelong glance at Xandra but turned and strode towards Sophia.
With a fierce and quick posture, he didn’t look like an elderly man with graying hair at all!
Q
Xandra’s hand froze awkwardly in the air, but she watched as Edward, with a cold and imposing air, walked straight towards Sophia.
Her lips curled up unconsciously.
Having angered her grandfather, not even Tristan could protect Sophia even if he were present!
The thing her grandfather disliked most.. was frauds-
Daring to deceive her grandfather would mean Sophia had to face the consequences of being exposed!
Xandra looked proudly at Edward rushing over, waiting for him to give Sophia a slap, and then use the Roscente Family’s connections to ruin Sophia’s reputation in Virelia.
However, her smile hadn’t even spread across her face yet.
Edward walked up to Sophia and took her hand, saying, “Sofi, don’t listen to her nonsense, she is not my granddaughter, and here is definitively not her home either.”
