Chapter 214

“You brat.” Mr. Chandler poked Sophie’s head. “Your mom is right. A man like Mr. Morgan will rise to the top sooner or later.”

“Just because he indulges your reckless behavior now doesn’t mean he always will. Your mom worries that you’re blinded by the affection he’s showing you. What if one day Mr. Morgan is not kind to you? You might get hurt again.”

“Dad, I know Mom means well, and I’ll be more careful from now on.”

Sophie cleverly changed the topic. “Dad, you specifically kept me behind. What is it you want to tell me?”

“Nothing escapes you.”

Mr. Chandler took out a golden–embossed invitation. “There’s an auction tomorrow. I need you to help me bid on something.”

“Your mom has had her eye on this necklace for a while. Her birthday is in a couple of days, so it would be a perfect gift for her.”

Mr. Chandler handed Sophie the invitation and sent the item details to her phone.

Sophie patted her chest confidently. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure the task is done!”

The next morning, Sophie quickly got ready and went to the auction.

The auction was held at a craft exhibition hall on the outskirts of Riverland, with many of the items being one–of–a–kind pieces.

The art value of such items far exceeded the products themselves.

Only those with high artistic appreciation and the willingness to pay for sentimentality–prominent officials and the wealthy–could attend this auction.

Today, Sophie wore a black satin dress that made her fair skin look even more porcelain–like.

The deep back design outlined her delicate back, and her shoulder blades moved gracefully as she walked, like the wings of a butterfly.

Sophie paired the dress with pointed high heels, and the skirt barely touched the ground, showing only the tips of her heels, which added a touch of elegance to her appearance.

As soon as she got out of the car, Sophie caught the attention of many.

Recently, the rumors surrounding Sophie and Marcus had been all over the news, and people mocked her for having climbed onto a strong tree, only

for it to fall.

Their looks toward Sophie were initially filled with mockery, but in an instant, all that remained was admiration for her beauty.

Sophie’s black hair was neatly styled, with a few strands deliberately left loose.

She had been thin and frail before, but perhaps due to her pregnancy, she now appeared more rounded. This roundness perfectly compensated for her previous fragility.

Now, she radiated a soft glow and looked anything but frail.

Sophie ignored the gazes and walked straight to the entrance of the venue.

Entry to the venue required an invitation, so Sophie stopped and took out the invitation from her diamond–studded handbag.

Before the staff could take the invitation, a large hand snatched it away.

“Sophie, this invitation is fake, isn’t it?”

Chapter 214

Lena glanced at the invitation with disdain written all over her face.

“Who doesn’t know that Marcus has fallen from grace, and the Chandler family is facing a storm of contract terminations because of him?”

“You’re only a step away from bankruptcy, and you think you still have the right to come here?”

With that, Lena tore the invitation in half and threw it on the ground.

“The things in there are expensive. Someone like you, from a family about to go bankrupt, can’t afford them.”

“I’ll spare you some embarrassment by tearing this up. Don’t thank me too much.”

Sophie’s face remained expressionless, but her aura grew colder.

She didn’t care about the torn invitation on the floor and instead snatched Lena’s handbag, crushing the invitation she held in her hand.

“You tore up my invitation, so you’ll replace it with this one.”

“Lena, I won’t argue with you because you’ve lost your child and your mind isn’t right. You better not stir up more trouble!”

Sophie gave Lena a cold glance before handing the invitation back to the staff.

The staff checked it, nodded, and motioned for Sophie to enter.

Sophie lifted her skirt slightly and prepared to walk in when Lena’s voice rang out from behind.

“Sophie, what are you going to do once you get in? As long as you’re still carrying this disaster in your belly, you won’t get anything you want!”

Sophie’s eyes flashed with coldness as she turned to face Lena.

“Say that again and see what happens!”

“I’m saying it. What are you going to do about it?”

Lena’s voice attracted quite a few people, and as the crowd gathered, Lena grew bolder.

“Sophie, the child in your belly is a disaster!”

“When you were with Liam, that disaster made him lose his position as the director and always got him hurt!”

“Then you got with Marcus. Who is he? Even someone as powerful as him was knocked down from his pedestal by this disaster!”

“Sophie, your little disaster really has a lot of power!”

Slap!

Slap!

Sophie slapped her across the face, without mercy.

Lena stood frozen, holding her face in disbelief.

“Sophie, you-!”

“Shut up!”

Sophie’s voice was icy. “I can’t stand hearing your voice!”

“My child is the most precious treasure to me, and someone like you has no right to slander them!”
