Chaos Girl Rewrites the Script novel Chapter 535

Sophia felt a lump in her throat. So that was why her father had completely ignored her just now.

Fearing her daughter might take it the wrong way, Sylvia gently took her hand and explained softly, "It hasn't been easy for your father all these years. In this family, your Uncle Zachary has Preston, your Uncle Barnaby has Quentin, and we... I'm not blaming you, but I hope you can be more considerate of your father. What happened back then ended up being a blessing in disguise because it got you noticed by your grandfather. You need to capitalize on that."

"You're not like Preston. He's going to inherit the family empire; even if he messes up, someone will always cover for him. Your father has finally started to accept you. If you don't change your attitude, you're just going to disappoint him again."

Sophia looked at the woman in front of her and interrupted, "Mom, did you notice I grew taller?"

Sylvia was momentarily speechless. What was wrong with this child?

Sophia asked again, "We haven't seen each other in half a year. Couldn't you tell?"

Sylvia frowned. "I was just going to mention that. What's the point of a girl growing so tall? It's not like you're joining the military."

Sophia gently pushed her mother's hand away and asked, "Is it a crime to be born a girl?"

So refusing to wear skirts was a mistake, and growing tall was a mistake too?

Sylvia froze, her expression turning icy. "Sophia, what is wrong with you? I say a few words to you and you refuse to listen? Look at the state of you. Is it so wrong for me to ask you to dress differently, to look like a normal girl? Do you know what the other socialites are saying? They're calling you a lesbian, a dyke—I won't even repeat the ugly things they're saying!"

"Let me make this clear: if you have those kinds of thoughts, you better kill them right now. Your father and I will never allow it. The Everhart family won't stand for that kind of embarrassment."

Sophia forced a bitter smile.

It wasn't that the Everharts couldn't stand the embarrassment; it was that the daughters of the family had a very specific utility.

Both of her aunts had been married off as political pawns the moment they came of age. Her eldest aunt's husband was a Merriton oil tycoon, paving the way for the Everharts to enter the Southern European market. Her youngest aunt's husband was a high-ranking Solenforth official, which had provided crucial opportunities for her Uncle Zachary's diplomatic career.
