Chapter 681 The Enemy of My Enemy
“Ha!” Elise burst out laughing from anger. “So, you do have a strong moral compass. But then, what are you doing now? Do you think it’s okay for you to barge into the home of a pair of newlyweds?”
“I…”
“Enough already,” Alexander interrupted, not giving Sofia a chance to speak. He then continued with a blank face, “You can go now.”
“Go? Go where?” Sofia asked, confused.
“Wherever you want as long as you’re out of my home,” he calmly replied.
“You’re kicking me out?” Her eyes widened with disbelief. “Alexander, can’t you see that I’m doing this for your sake? Anyway, your mom hired me. How can you speak to me in that manner?”
“How should I be speaking to you then?” His eyes went glacial. “Should I put up a shrine and worship you? This is my house and my wife’s home. Neither you nor my mother has any power here. I will not tolerate anyone who would insult my wife. When I wake up tomorrow morning, I don’t want to see your face here ever again.”
After he said that, he wrapped an arm around Elise and went upstairs with her, leaving Sofia alone and staring at the backs of a loving couple.
Pride was carved deep into the bones of Sofia, so there was no way she’d accept being ignored like that. After stomping her foot hard, she marched out the door.
Just who did that man think he was? She only ever acted subservient to him because she thought highly of him, but how dare he look down on her!
Well, she wouldn’t be serving them anymore. They would regret this!
As she walked out of the area to the streets, she cursed and shouted at the couple. Then, she took a taxi and spent the night at the bars.
When she woke up the next morning, her vision spun so hard that she had to support her head with her hands. She couldn’t help but feel angry with herself as she should not have acted so impulsively.
First, she went home, cleaned up, and changed her clothes. Then, thinking that there wouldn’t be anyone home at this time, she took a taxi back to Alexander and Sofia’s new residence.
However, as the taxi drew closer to the residence, she saw a young woman standing at the residence gates and looking around.
The taxi soon pulled to a stop, and Sofia exited the vehicle. She strode over to the other woman and loftily asked in a manner more befitting to the residence owner, “Who are you looking for?”
“Who are you?” the other woman rudely shot back.
“I am the housekeeper here,” Sofia proudly stated.
“I see.” The other woman’s gaze scanned Sofia from head to toe with eyes filled with scrutiny.
Weirded out by how she was being studied, Sofia barked in a firmer tone, “If you don’t tell me who you are, I’m going to get the guards to escort you away.”
It was only then that the woman haughtily said, “My name is Maya Dahlen, Alexander’s god-sister.”
God-sister?
Sofia studied Maya closely as she silently pondered on how much faith she should give that statement.
For one, Maya didn’t dress like someone from a middle-class family.
As for her claim of being Alexander’s god-sister, both women knew precisely what Maya meant by that.
It was just a claim used to get Maya closer to Alexander.
Logically speaking, Maya was Sofia’s rival.
