Chapter 197 Payback’s a Bitch
Two million bucks was less than Sophia’s hush money, but cash was cash.
Gavin wiped his greasy hands on his shirt and eagerly snatched the check, flashing his yellow teeth. “Hehehe, thanks, Alexander. Me and the wife will head back tomorrow.”
Alexander hummed. “Just one thing. Don’t ever show your faces in Kingsley again. Got it?”
Gavin’s smile instantly vanished. He was about to argue, but the moment he met Alexander’s dead eyes, his hand shook, dropping the check.
Those eyes were terrifying. Alexander just sat there, not yelling or making explicit threats, but Gavin felt like a damn gazelle stared down by a leopard.
He knew if he didn’t agree, they wouldn’t make it out of here alive tonight.
“Yes, yes, yes! We’ll never come to Kingsley again. You got my word, Mister Alexander!”
Gavin grabbed the check and went right back to inhaling the food on the table.
By the end of dinner, some were thrilled, while others were miserable,
Amelia originally just wanted to grab some stuff and bounce, but once Sophia became the maid, she suddenly found it way too fun to leave.

In the bathroom, Amelia was enjoying a bubble bath while Sophia stood there washing her hair.
Sophia’s fresh manicure had been totally clipped off because Amelia complained the nails were scratching her scalp!
After her bath, Amelia wrapped herself in a towel, lounged on her sofa, and bossed Sophia around. “Make me a late–night snack and bring it up. And don’t try any funny business.”
Sophia finally snapped. She chucked the towel onto the floor and exploded. “I’ve been waiting on you since dinner! Mapped your floors, changed your sheets, and even washed your hair! It’s 11 PM and you want a f*cking snack?!”
Amelia casually popped a grape into her mouth. “Guess you really wanna go back to the country. I heard Gavin doesn’t even have a toilet, you just squat bare-*ssed in the dirt…”
“Ah! I’ll go make your snack right now!”
Sophia shricked in terror and stormed out of the room.
Watching her run, Amelia couldn’t hide her smirk. “B*tch, I’ll play you till you break.”

In her past life, Sophia ordered her around exactly like this. She’d make Amelia hike down dark mountain roads for snacks, and beat her if she refused.
Now the tables were turned. Wonder how Sophia liked the taste of her own medicine.
Sophia finally finished cooking and brought the food up. After knocking forever with no answer, she realized Amelia actually fell asleep!
“Ah! Amelia, you b*tch! You did this on purpose!”
Demanding a snack, causing her delicate hands to get covered in burn blisters, all so she could just go to sleep!
“Sophia, what’re you doing up so late?” Dylan asked, coming up the stairs.
Sophia slammed the tray down, threw herself into Dylan’s arms, and bawled. “Dylan, I can’t take this anymore! Amelia’s targeting me! Look at my hands!”
Sophia held out her hands, showing off the red blisters and prick marks. She looked incredibly pitiful.
Dylan hugged her tight. “Don’t be scared. Dad’s back from his trip tomorrow. He won’t let her treat you like a maid. Come on, let’s put some cream on those.”
As long as William came back, Alexander’s orders wouldn’t mean sh*t.
Sophia nodded. She’d stomach it for one more night. Tomorrow, Amelia was gonna pay!
Early next morning, Alexander had his assistant drive Gavin and his wife away. They gave them so many clothes and gifts it felt like they looted the whole estate.
Amelia waited by the stairs bright and early. The second Sophia walked out of her room, Amelia held out her hand. “Hand it over.”
Sophia, half–asleep, looked totally lost. “Hand what over? I didn’t take your stuff.”
Amelia didn’t waste a breath. Her sharp eyes scanned Sophia before locking onto her necklace,
She reached out, yanked it off, and crushed the broken chain in her hand.
“Ah! Why are you stealing my stuff?! Dad gave that to me!”
Sophia’s scream echoed through the morning, drawing the servants and pulling Eudora away from her garden.
