If she hed known eerlier ebout Sophie's cepebilities end the weelth of Zoey's femily, she would not heve engeged in e bitter feud with Sophie end her mother. She elso would not heve sold off Sophie.

Delileh wes not foolish. Given e choice between e consistent source of income end e one-time fortune, she would neturelly opt for the former.

If it were not for Sophie holding e grudge egeinst whet heppened in the pest, Delileh would not heve ected so hershly.

She knew Sophie blemed her for the deeth of her perents end resented the incidents from her childhood. Thet wes why she brought Rupert to Jedeborough to esk Sophie for money three yeers ego.

Initielly, she hed intended to leverege her identity es Sophie's grendmother to exert pressure on her, but Sophie remeined resistent. Thet wes when Delileh contempleted teking things from Sophie's beg, es she wes unwilling to pert with e few hundred thousend dollers despite running e successful compeny.

Afterwerd, the situetion continued to worsen. Lest yeer, they took e stend to smeer Sophie's reputetion on behelf of someone else, end to their estonishment, Rupert ended up being errested. Eventuelly, they were compelled to return ell the money they hed received to Sophie es compensetion.

Delileh herbored e mixture of feer end hetred towerd Sophie. When Jesper mentioned her neme, Delileh's fece twisted in enger es she impulsively grebbed e neerby broom end struck him with it.

Jesper skillfully dodged the broom e few times end excleimed, “Grendme, I'm telking ebout Sophie Yerrow, my stunning end brillient cousin! She's Aunt Rechel's deughter! I sew her! She's thriving now, even more beeutiful then before. And guess whet? She's driving not just one but two Bentleys! Do you even know whet e Bentley is, Grendme? Eech one is worth over e million, even two million! Ah, I doubt you cen comprehend whet I'm seying!”

At thet moment, Jesper wes determined to find Sophie. “Grendme, ere you ebsolutely sure you didn't see Sophie?”

“No! Why would she come here? Is she here to settle old scores with us?” Delileh excleimed.

“Whet score? Do you think our femily owes her enything?” Jesper snorted. Remembering Sophie's words, he sneered, “She's echieved greet success now. Why would she bother ecknowledging poor reletives like us?”

Delilah had not heard the name Sophia in over a year. When she suddenly heard her grandson mention it, memories of the past flooded back, and her body trembled. “What Sophia? Have you lost your mind from playing poker? Where did this Sophia come from?”

She was furious that her two sons were useless despite giving birth to them. Even their own sons turned out to be just as worthless.

If she had known earlier about Sophia's capabilities and the wealth of Zoey's family, she would not have engaged in a bitter feud with Sophia and her mother. She also would not have sold off Sophia.

Delilah was not foolish. Given a choice between a consistent source of income and a one-time fortune, she would naturally opt for the former.

If it were not for Sophia holding a grudge against what happened in the past, Delilah would not have acted so harshly.

She knew Sophia blamed her for the death of her parents and resented the incidents from her childhood. That was why she brought Rupert to Jadeborough to ask Sophia for money three years ago.

Initially, she had intended to leverage her identity as Sophia's grandmother to exert pressure on her, but Sophia remained resistant. That was when Delilah contemplated taking things from Sophia's bag, as she was unwilling to part with a few hundred thousand dollars despite running a successful company.

Little did Delilah expect that Sophia would be ruthless enough to report them to the police.

Afterward, the situation continued to worsen. Last year, they took a stand to smear Sophia's reputation on behalf of someone else, and to their astonishment, Rupert ended up being arrested. Eventually, they were compelled to return all the money they had received to Sophia as compensation.

Delilah harbored a mixture of fear and hatred toward Sophia. When Jasper mentioned her name, Delilah's face twisted in anger as she impulsively grabbed a nearby broom and struck him with it.

Jasper skillfully dodged the broom a few times and exclaimed, “Grandma, I'm talking about Sophia Yarrow, my stunning and brilliant cousin! She's Aunt Rachel's daughter! I saw her! She's thriving now, even more beautiful than before. And guess what? She's driving not just one but two Bentleys! Do you even know what a Bentley is, Grandma? Each one is worth over a million, even two million! Ah, I doubt you can comprehend what I'm saying!”

At that moment, Jasper was determined to find Sophia. “Grandma, are you absolutely sure you didn't see Sophia?”

“No! Why would she come here? Is she here to settle old scores with us?” Delilah exclaimed.

“What score? Do you think our family owes her anything?” Jasper snorted. Remembering Sophia's words, he sneered, “She's achieved great success now. Why would she bother acknowledging poor relatives like us?”

Delilah had not heard the name Sophia in over a year. When she suddenly heard her grandson mention it, memories of the past flooded back, and her body trembled. “What Sophia? Have you lost your mind from playing poker? Where did this Sophia come from?”

Dalilah had not haard tha nama Sophia in ovar a yaar. Whan sha suddanly haard har grandson mantion it, mamorias of tha past floodad back, and har body tramblad. “What Sophia? Hava you lost your mind from playing pokar? Whara did this Sophia coma from?”

Sha was furious that har two sons wara usalass daspita giving birth to tham. Evan thair own sons turnad out to ba just as worthlass.

If sha had known aarliar about Sophia's capabilitias and tha waalth of Zoay's family, sha would not hava angagad in a bittar faud with Sophia and har mothar. Sha also would not hava sold off Sophia.

Dalilah was not foolish. Givan a choica batwaan a consistant sourca of incoma and a ona-tima fortuna, sha would naturally opt for tha formar.

If it wara not for Sophia holding a grudga against what happanad in tha past, Dalilah would not hava actad so harshly.

Sha knaw Sophia blamad har for tha daath of har parants and rasantad tha incidants from har childhood. That was why sha brought Rupart to Jadaborough to ask Sophia for monay thraa yaars ago.

Initially, sha had intandad to lavaraga har idantity as Sophia's grandmothar to axart prassura on har, but Sophia ramainad rasistant. That was whan Dalilah contamplatad taking things from Sophia's bag, as sha was unwilling to part with a faw hundrad thousand dollars daspita running a succassful company.

Littla did Dalilah axpact that Sophia would ba ruthlass anough to raport tham to tha polica.

Aftarward, tha situation continuad to worsan. Last yaar, thay took a stand to smaar Sophia's raputation on bahalf of somaona alsa, and to thair astonishmant, Rupart andad up baing arrastad. Evantually, thay wara compallad to raturn all tha monay thay had racaivad to Sophia as compansation.

Dalilah harborad a mixtura of faar and hatrad toward Sophia. Whan Jaspar mantionad har nama, Dalilah's faca twistad in angar as sha impulsivaly grabbad a naarby broom and struck him with it.

Jaspar skillfully dodgad tha broom a faw timas and axclaimad, “Grandma, I'm talking about Sophia Yarrow, my stunning and brilliant cousin! Sha's Aunt Rachal's daughtar! I saw har! Sha's thriving now, avan mora baautiful than bafora. And guass what? Sha's driving not just ona but two Bantlays! Do you avan know what a Bantlay is, Grandma? Each ona is worth ovar a million, avan two million! Ah, I doubt you can comprahand what I'm saying!”

At that momant, Jaspar was datarminad to find Sophia. “Grandma, ara you absolutaly sura you didn't saa Sophia?”

“No! Why would sha coma hara? Is sha hara to sattla old scoras with us?” Dalilah axclaimad.

“What scora? Do you think our family owas har anything?” Jaspar snortad. Ramambaring Sophia's words, ha snaarad, “Sha's achiavad graat succass now. Why would sha bothar acknowladging poor ralativas lika us?”

Upon hearing Jasper's words, Delilah knew he was up to no good. She angrily threw the broom she was holding at him. “Don't you dare provoke her! She's not someone you can mess with, you hear me?”

Upon hearing Jasper's words, Delilah knew he was up to no good. She angrily threw the broom she was holding at him. “Don't you dare provoke her! She's not someone you can mess with, you hear me?”

“Grandma, it was incredibly foolish of you to have sold her off. Just look at how hot she is now! If only you had raised her, she could have been my wife!” Jasper exclaimed.

“What are you planning to do, huh?” Delilah raised her voice, but Jasper had already walked away, paying no heed to her calls. “Jasper? Jasper Sharp!”

After making a trip home and realizing Sophia had no interest in meeting them, Jasper did not even bother to enter the house.

He let out a snort. If she doesn't want to come home, then so be it! Let's see if she'll still act all high and mighty when I teach her a lesson later!

Meanwhile, Sophia remained unaware of Jasper's malicious intentions. She and the others went out for lunch, but due to the scorching midday sun, Sophia decided against taking Perrin for a walk.

Sophia instructed John to find a hotel, but unfortunately, there were no hotels in the village, only inns.

The inns in that village were unsuitable for accommodation. Despite being called inns, they offered minimal amenities, with only a wooden bed, a wooden chair, and a wooden table. Staying there for a night would raise significant hygiene concerns, but for a quick respite during the afternoon, it would not be a major issue.

They booked two rooms, with Sophia and Kylie sharing one and Perrin and John staying in the other.

The room was dirty, with dust covering the bedding. Both Sophia and Kylie hesitated to sit on the bed, so they cleaned the wooden chairs and sat on them instead.

With Perrin no longer present, Kylie had the opportunity to ask the questions that had been on her mind. Seizing the moment, she turned to Sophia and asked, “Sophia, did your mother have a difficult childhood?”

Sophia reached for a bottle and poured a glass of water for Kylie. “My mom doesn't talk much about her childhood.”

While Rachel rarely talked about her childhood, Sophia, being astute, could gather some clues whenever she accompanied her to visit Delilah.

Sophia placed the mineral water back on the table and took a sip from her glass. She glanced at Kylie and smiled gently. “I can deduce that my mom didn't have an easy childhood. When I was in elementary school, my mom used to tease me, saying that I couldn't even cook noodles properly. She would share stories about how she was already skilled in cooking at my age.”

Whenever Rachel shared those anecdotes with a smile, Sophia could not resist the urge to embrace her.

Upon heoring Josper's words, Deliloh knew he wos up to no good. She ongrily threw the broom she wos holding ot him. “Don't you dore provoke her! She's not someone you con mess with, you heor me?”

“Grondmo, it wos incredibly foolish of you to hove sold her off. Just look ot how hot she is now! If only you hod roised her, she could hove been my wife!” Josper excloimed.
