The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 315

The mention of Catherine came out of nowhere and instantly ruined Adelina’s good mood.

“That was in the past. Don’t bring up Catherine again. I’m your sister-in-law now, so show some respect, okay? Otherwise, don’t blame me if I stop being nice to you.”

Sophia, never one to hold back, realized as soon as she said it that mentioning Catherine was a bad move. It wasn’t fair, especially since Catherine was already gone and out of their lives. All she did by bringing her up was stir up trouble for someone who wasn’t even around anymore.

But Adelina’s reaction only made Sophia angrier.

“I’m just telling the truth. Don’t try to boss me around. Who even knows if you’ll end up marrying Lance? But I’ll always be his sister, that’s not changing.”

Adelina was speechless.

“You think just because you slept in Lance’s room, you’re suddenly all high and mighty? Wait until you actually marry in, you’ll probably be pointing fingers at me every chance you get. What’s the big deal? Catherine used to sleep in that bed too. You act like you’ve never seen anything nice before.”

Thoughts tumbled out of Sophia’s mouth with no filter. Seeing Adelina’s face turn pale, then furious, made her heart drop. She knew she’d really gone too far this time.

Before Adelina could even respond, Sophia spun around and ran out.

She didn’t dare go downstairs. If Belinda found out what happened, even Fiona wouldn’t be able to save her. Still, in her mind, she hadn’t really done anything wrong.

She pulled out her phone and called Catherine.

The phone rang for ages before Catherine finally answered.

“Sophia.”

After a few more words of comfort, she hung up.

If something as small as not knocking could set off a fight between Sophia and Adelina, things would only get worse once Adelina officially joined the family.

Catherine remembered the first time she stayed over at the James family home. Sophia barged in without knocking then, too. Back then, Fiona had sent her up with a plate of fruit.

She and Lance had just gotten their marriage certificate and were spending their first night there. They’d only just started to get close, still awkward and unsure around each other, both trying to figure out how to shift from boss and employee to something more.

They’d showered and gotten into bed. Catherine nervously clutched the edge of the comforter. The man beside her looked calm, but his book was upside down.

Sophia’s sudden entrance had completely broken the tension between them.
