“If we get together again, I’m sure my uncle will give us his blessing.”
Sophia was wearing a mask so she rolled her eyes to show her disbelief. “Stanley, are you itching for a beating?”
Hearing this, Stanley didn’t dare to continue the conversation. After all, Michael might suddenly appear and beat him up. Pointing at his dog, Stanley said, “Sophia, look at Judge. Just look at his leg! Back then, your son broke Judge’s leg and I spent a lot of money to get it cured. Many years have passed but I still haven’t received the compensation you promised!”
Sophia immediately rebuked, “I’m taking care of Judge and his puppies for you right now. Isn’t that enough to compensate for those bills? Moreover, I made Judge an online superstar and he is even more famous than you now. What else do you want? Not to mention, your cat got Lucile pregnant and she gave birth to a few mixed breed kittens, and I’m taking care of all of them for you right now!”
As the two of them quarreled, Stanley recalled the good times they had. All of a sudden, Sophia heard a fierce quarrel taking place not far away from her. It sounded like two women were arguing about something.
“You did everything you could to marry Joel. So what? Do you think that you can make him stay by giving him a son? Maddie, don’t you know your place?”
“I didn’t…”
“You didn’t? Have you forgotten how you seduced Joel back then?”
“I didn’t! I really didn’t!”
“I’ve seen a lot of people like you who wish to have a Cinderella ending. Even though you look innocent, deep down, you’re just a b*tch who is greedy for money and power.”
It was obvious that one person’s voice was aggressive while the other’s had no confidence.
I think I hear Maddie’s voice.
Sophia took a step forward but Stanley stopped her. He seemed to understand what was going on when he said, “Forget it; don’t go. That’s their family’s private affairs.” If I guessed right, she’s back… It’s better to not let Sophia intervene.
Since it was their family matters, Sophia didn’t want to intervene either. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard the aggressive voice let out a weak and helpless scream. “Ah!”
Hearing this, Sophia hurriedly turned around to check on the situation. She and the others went around a corner and saw several people standing in front of them. By then, a few people had arrived at the scene and they saw a beautiful woman in high-heels sitting on the ground, looking pitiful. There was a wound on her knee and she was trying to stand up but everytime she tried, she fell down again. The woman was weeping helplessly and there were tears on her long eyelashes.
Meanwhile, Maddie was standing off to the side, panicking. Sophia looked at the poor woman and wanted to help her up, but a hand suddenly held her back. She turned around, only to find that it belonged to Michael. He was wearing a mask and he shook his head at her. Seeing this, Sophia had no choice but to stay still.
The woman in high heels sobbed as she said, “Maddie, why did you push me? I have no grievances or grudges against you!” Then, she looked up at Maddie with an aggrieved look on her face.
Facing the questioning glances from the crowd, Maddie waved her hands in panic and said, “I didn’t do anything!”
At that moment, Sophia also noticed that something wasn’t right. This woman was really aggressive a moment ago. In just a few seconds, her attitude had a drastic change.
