Chapter 21
When Sophía saw the disappointment in Madam Xavier’s eyes, her heart ran cold.
She was the granddaughter who bore the same last name as her grandmother. She was a true Xavier, but her grandmother was intent on protecting an outsider!
Why was she the one getting chased out when she was a Xavier?!
Sophia hissed in exasperation. “Grandmother, if you insist on protecting Adina, then you might as well disown me!”
“You’re already married to the Gardners. You’re Mrs. Gardner now, so you shouldn’t visit this family so often anymore,” Madam Xavier said mercilessly. “Send Mrs. Gardner and Young Master Gardner back,” she told the servants.
Sophia was so angry that her face turned red.
She had given an ultimatum in order to gain her grandmother’s favor, but her grandmother did not fall for it.
She felt as if she had been slapped in the face.
At that moment, Richard parked his car before the porch.
As if she had seen her savior, Sophia grabbed Leo and ran to him. “Dad, Grandmother wants to chase me away! She told me not to come to the Xavier mansion in the future…” she said as tears fell down her face.
Richard frowned. “You’re already twenty-eight years old, so why are you crying like a kid? Your grandmother is right. You’re a Gardner now. The Gardner family hasn’t been peaceful lately, so you should spend more time there to handle its matters. Don’t come to the Xavier mansion so often for the time being.”
Sophia felt like she was about to faint from anger.
Was Richard even her father?! How could he say that?!
She wanted to continue complaining, but Richard rushed into the living room. When he saw Adina sitting on the couch, he went straight to her. “Addy, Xavier Corporation developed a sample using your chip. Do you want to go to the company to take a look?”
The sample was more amazing than all their previous products!
Richard was not the only one shocked. Everyone in the company was amazed.
The sample was not approved for production yet, but they could already foresee that the product would sell like a hotcake the moment it entered the market.
