Sophia took a sip of her coffee, her expression becoming somewhat calmer. “I know you’re the first girl my son has ever liked.”
“So, Mrs. Weiss, can you allow us to be together?” Harmony couldn’t help but ask again.
“Miss Mayo, I came here to ask you to leave my son.” Sophia didn’t beat around the bush anymore. She didn’t need to use harsh words towards a girl; she just needed to achieve her goal.
“I will give you 50 million as compensation. I know it’s a bit less for your profession, but I think it should be enough.” Sophia said, her mind filled with Harmony’s scandalous photos. She wondered if this girl had ever considered whether a man she liked would come into her life when she agreed to take those photos, whether the man and his family would accept her.
So, although Sophia felt some sympathy for Harmony, she still doubted Harmony’s character and morality.
Harmony still wanted to fight for her feelings, even if she ultimately failed, but she didn’t expect Sophia to be so clear. She didn’t want her to be with Ezekiel.
“May I ask, Mrs. Weiss, is it because of my background?” Harmony bit her lip, her eyes moist because this was something she could never change.
Sophia thought for a moment and shook her head. “No, it has nothing to do with your background.”
“I know I was born poor. I’m not worthy of Ezekiel.” Harmony pursed her lips, holding back her tears.
Sophia continued to shake her head, comforting her. “No, Miss Mayo, please don’t think like that. It’s not because of your birth. After all, when I married Ezekiel’s father, there was a huge gap between us. This is not the reason I’m stopping you two from being together.” Sophia spoke truthfully.
Harmony looked up in surprise. “Can I ask what the reason is?”
Sophia thought for a moment and decided not to mention the photos to hurt her. “I can’t tell you the reason, Miss Mayo. Please leave Ezekiel. I hope you won’t make it difficult for me as a mother.”
Harmony loved Ezekiel so much; she certainly didn’t want to hurt his family. If this was her fate, she would accept it.
