Chapter 799 Hatred Out of Jealousy

“What would you guys like for lunch?” Sofia changed the subject and beckoned to a server, who came over with a menu. At that, Sofia handed the menu out.

Initially, she had intended to hand it to Skyler, but an idea struck her, and she shifted it toward Shirley, saying, “Here, Shirley—have a look at the menu.”
