Glancing at him briefly, Sophia soon explained, “She is still unable to get over your brother. I’ve invited her over on purpose, to show her who’s the daughter-in-law of the Seet family, in hopes that she’ll be able to come to her senses quickly, looking for her happiness elsewhere.”
Gosh, your thinking is really—
However, with Sofie’s personality, would she sit still and watch as Nicole would get all lovey-dovey with the man whom she’d loved?
He was staring at Sofie, still lost in thought when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
“Hi!”
Turning his head, Davin soon saw that it was Sheila. Thus, he gave her a once over and asked, “Do you have to scare me like Sadako?”
“You— Who are you calling Sadako?”
Forget it. It’s a special day today. I shall not bother myself arguing with the likes of her.
“Oh, don’t be conceited. You’re not the star of the day. Just don’t fool around!”
“I know, Nicole’s the star of the day.”
Sheila stood next to Evan, sizing Nicole up.
Rather than looking tawdry in red, Nicole surprisingly appeared both gorgeous and elegant. Paired with her exquisite makeup, she looked rather ravishing.
“Your brother has good taste.”
“Of course.”
“Congratulations, Ms. Lane, on becoming the daughter-in-law of the Seet family,” Sofie uttered, forcing a smile on her face as she walked over with the bearing of a socialite.
“Thank you,” Nicole responded politely, her face turning grim.
Sofie then shifted her gaze to Evan. For a moment, it was as though she had put on a new face.
“Congratulations, Evan.” She smiled courteously at him, but there was something bitter about her smile.
